Story
Hey there, big dog folks, meet Bear! 63 pounds and full of goofy energy, Bear is looking for his forever home. Currently, his favorite things include sniffing in the yard, watching other dogs and playing with his toys! He loves to play "keep away" but will also sometimes bring his toy to hold while you pet him or even ask you to throw it for him. Bear is a big boy and will need someone strong to walk him on leash or a fenced yard to zoom around in before settling in to life as your watchdog. Bear can be intimidating to some, so be sure to teach him good manners. That way, he can be an example for large breed dogs and a fun and friendly member of your family! Call or email the shelter if you'd like to meet Bear! (607)257-1822 x221 adoptions@spcaonline.com

Story
Hello! They call me Queen and I think I deserve that title. I'm an adorable 2 year old pittie type, weighing in around 48 pounds. I love spending time with my human friends; it's maybe my favourite thing! Sometimes I take a minute to warm up to new people, but I've loved most everyone I've met here so far! Other dogs can make me feel nervous, due to my history, and cats seem to be a little too exciting, so I may be happiest being your one-and-only. So far, I am equally happy to go for walks, play and sniff outside, or snuggle up to you! I also love to zoom around at top speed, so I hope you have a space for me to do that. I'm thinking that if I can get a little consistency in my life, I'll be quite the happy family member! If you're ready to serve me as your benevolent leader, call or email the shelter for the chance to meet me! (607)257-1822 x221 adoptions@spcaonline.com (adoptions category: Purple)

Story
Hey there, dog rescuers, I'm Buddy! You won't want to miss out on meeting me, the biggest mush this side of the Mississippi! I came to the shelter after I was hit by a car. My leg was badly broken and couldn't be saved, so the vets removed it for me. I've healed up really well and get along just fine on my three legs. I can be a little nervous around strangers at first but, but once we're friends I'm all in for snacks and snuggling! I hardly notice my missing leg at all and doesn't stop me from being an athletic, strong guy! The only difference between me and a four-legged dog is that I'm harder to fit for a harness without two front legs to help hold it on! I'm down for a hike, game of fetch, or just as happy to lounge around. I'm hoping to find some patient and loving people who can help out a special dog like me. If you think that's you, please call or email the shelter ASAP so you can find out about meeting me! (607)257-1822 x221 adoptions@spcaonline.com

Story
Cameron LOVES to play and explore smells. Her favorite toys so far are squeaky wubbas and balls. She knows commands such as sit, shake, and lie down. She enjoys fetch in the play yard and going on walks with her volunteer friends. Cameron's human was sad to bring her here when they could no longer care for her. They said she had some hard times in the past, which is probably why she can be nervous around new people at first. If you are patient, kind, and have SNACKS, she is happy to make your acquaintance. If you think your home is missing a goofy, sweet-faced lady with a smiley side, call, email or stop by the shelter today to find out more!

Story
Do you like big brown dogs? You might like me! I'm Rhino, and I might be a bit bashful when we first meet. See, when I was a puppy I never walked on a leash, or rode in a car, or made new friends. Coming to the shelter was a shock to me. I had no idea the world was big, and full of so many people! Honestly, it was scary for a shy guy like myself. Luckily, my nice foster parent scooped me up and let me come stay with her instead of at the shelter. It made me feel so much better. I get to play with her dogs, run around in the yard, and snuggle a human I trust. She's even helping me face my fears of walking on a leash and the vacuum running! But it is only temporary, and I still need to find my new family. If that might be you, call the shelter at 607-257-1822. We can meet at my foster home or at the shelter.

Meet Charlie, a mushy ball of goofy love! Even though Charlie is almost 50 pounds, he thinks he still fits in your lap just fine! He's a young boy, so he still has some learning to do in terms of how to act when he's excited. Most people melt when they meet him and he tries to crawl inside your skin right away. Full of squishy neck rolls, face licks and contented grunts, Charlie is sure to win over most hearts. He likes to investigate new surroundings and people face first, so be ready to duck out of the way when you meet! Charlie is into people pleasing and will be trainable once his new people help him figure out how to direct his fun-loving energy! Charlie loves all kinds of toys and treats are ok too, so he's got plenty of ways to work with him! If you're craving an oversized lap buddy who also likes to zoom, Call, email or stop by for more information!
