Story
Nova is very affectionate, gentle and calm dog. She is a couch potato and would be the perfect companion for someone who appreciates an easy going and laid-back dog that prefers to stay home and relax since she does not like car rides. Nova is also housetrained, crate trained and walks perfectly on leash. She is good with cats, rabbits and small animals. She gets along well with familiar dogs and previously lived with a small dog, rabbits and cats. She takes time to warm up to new people but once she does, she is so loving. Nova is up-to-date on all of her shots, she is spayed and also microchipped. Nova's foster home says every night she sleeps with her stuffed animal and prefers to cuddle with toys rather than play with them. Her nick name is "Honey Bun," "Honey Bunches" and "Honey Bunny" because she is so sweet! If you're looking for a low energy dog that will love you unconditionally, Nova would be the perfect match for you!

Story
Olive is a wonderful, loving, high-energy dog. We rescued her as a puppy from a hoarding situation and she has been a wonderful addition to our family. My husband and I both work full-time and our kids are now in high school and very involved in sports/activities, which means Olive is alone a lot of the time. Behaviorally, she does fine being alone (doesn't bark, isn't destructive), but just seems sad much of the time. She is a dog who craves attention and affection. Our family feels that if we could find her a home with owners who had more time to spend with her, she would be much happier. We love her very much and just want her to be happy.

Story
Meet Manon! She is a 43 pound beautiful girl who came to the shelter as a stray. Manon is a one-of-a-kind type of dog who, once you bond with her, is bound to be the best friend you've ever had! She is half rough-and-tumble and half snuggle muffin, who often enjoys parallel-style play like chewing a bone while sitting next to you. She is dedicated to her dental hygiene and will chew any hard toy to bits. However, she is very gentle with stuffed toys, treating them like her babies and grooming them gently. Manon is an avid hiker and will match your pace all day long! She is also a self-proclaimed branch manager and will even try to take them off a living tree to carry back home or chew up. When she's not making her own toys or hiking the ADK, she is an expert-level food puzzler. Once her brain and body are tired for the day, she'd love to cuddle up on the couch in her donut PJs. Like many pit-types, she's not a fan of the cold, rain or snow and prefers to lounge indoors. If you'd like to see for yourself what a wonderful girl she can be, stop by the shelter during walk in hours Tues-Sun 12-4:30 (extended hours 12-6:30 on Thursdays) or contact the Adoptions Team at 607-257-1822 x221 adoptions@spcaonline.com.

Story
Meet Ice, a man with(out) a plan! Ice is a 63 pound goofy boy who finds many things exciting beyond belief! He LOVES when humans come to say hi and take him for a walk. He seems to want to be wherever you are, for the most part. Found tied to a tree with two other dogs, not a lot is known about his former life. Ice has a zest for life that is sure to get his humans moving in the morning! Ice has been working hard learning how to keep his body calm when he is excited. He knows sit and, once you've set some boundaries with each other, he'll likely want to lean on you for chest scratches. If you've dreamed of a big-headed slobbery play-and-snuggle buddy, we're betting Ice could fit that bill! Call, email or stop by the shelter during open hours to find out more!
