Story

We adopted Khari on our honeymoon and she has been such a special addition to our family ever since. Shortly after getting married, we found out we were expecting our first child. After having our son, I experienced severe postpartum depression, and we made the decision to move back to my hometown to be closer to my parents and support system.Unfortunately, that transition also meant moving into an apartment, which hasn’t been the ideal environment for Khari, especially now with a busy toddler and recently welcoming our second child. We love Khari deeply and have since the day we brought her home, which is what makes this decision so difficult.At this point, we feel like we aren’t able to give her the life she truly deserves. She deserves space to run, play, and thrive, and we know an apartment without a yard isn’t the best fit for her long term. Our hope is to find her a loving home where she can get the time, attention, and space she deserves.

Story

Lucy is a spirited, energetic pup who wants to flat out run. She is very sweet and has had what training we could manage. She is my late mother’s dog and unfortunately we can’t keep her due to allergies. She will need some work but is a smart and trainable pup for the right person.YouTube link: https://youtu.be/8Lm3H8x4Vnc?feature=shared

Story

This handsome guy is Kirby (51 lbs). Kirby`s been our guest for eight months, so we`ve gotten to know this bouncy good boy a lot better now! He believes in experiencing life to its fullest, usually with a good rugged chew bone in the sunny play yard. He`s joyfully exuberant, and if you happen to have a little bit of cheese, you`ve got a new bestie in him! He loves to explore along the way during walks, which also gives him the perfect opportunity to practice some of his best tricks - for a treat, of course. When it comes to other dogs, he`s honestly a bit awkward, but he may be able to settle down with another mellow dog. We can`t predict how he`d get along with any other animals in the home, but we`d love to have a conversation with you about it, after you`ve had the chance to meet him for yourself. If you`d like to meet this sweet boy and get to know him a little better, stop by the adoption center Wednesday-Sunday 12-4:30 (Thursday 12-6:30). You can also reach our adoptions team:by email: adoptions@spcaonline.comby phone (during open hours): 607-257-1822 x221(Adoptions Category: LILAC)

Cricket

Australian Cattle Dog

Female, 6 yrs 1 mo

Ithaca, NY

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Three words to describe Cricket (21 lbs): cute, cuddly, and adaptable. She’s a whole lot of sweetheart in a smaller package – she’ll encourage you to take a healthy walk or two throughout the day, or set up some self-care snuggles with you on the couch. She likes to take a few seconds to give you the ‘all clear for pets’ sniff, and then the romps may begin! She`s looking for a family who`s familiar with the temperament of the cattle dog breed, and knows what to expect from an on-the-go kind of gal like herself! She`d likely feel most at ease in a feline free home, though we don`t have history about her interactions with other dogs or children in the home. Why not come by to say hello, and have a chat with our Adoptions counselors about getting everyone in the home set up for success? Stop by the adoptions center during our open hours Wednesday-Sunday: 12:00-4:30 PM (Thursday: 12:00-6:30 PM)You can also reach our adoptions team:by email: adoptions@spcaonline.comby phone (during open hours): 607-257-1822 x221(Adoptions Category: Green)

Story

You may not have heard of Captain Patch Sparrow (73 lbs) yet, but he’ll quickly steal your heart and leave an everlasting mark on your memory once you’ve corrected that mistake. He came to us as a stray, but we’ve learned that he’s an absolute sweetie who’s very versatile when it comes to your daily agenda. Walkies? Check. Cuddles with a stuffed toy? He’ll make you swoon with his gentle goofiness. Play time in the yard? Watch him wind up his wiggles and go, go, go!He’s a lot of excitement in an equally large package, so he’s looking for sturdy family members who can be on board with helping him to develop and maintain his best behaviors, as well as show him the best sniffin’ spots available on your walks! Because of his history as a stray, we can’t predict how he’ll be around other animals, but we’d love to set up a meeting between him and any resident dog/s for you during our open hours Wednesday-Sunday 12-4:30 (Thursday 12-6:30). Don’t worry about bringing the rum, though; he much prefers cheese.You can also reach our adoptions team:by email: adoptions@spcaonline.comby phone (during open hours): 607-257-1822 x221

Story

Blue (55lbs) is a gem of a dog with his own unique perspective on the world, and he`d love to share this change in view with you! Blue may be blind, but he’s extremely adept at experiencing the world with his other senses, especially his hearing. He’s overwhelmingly sweet and friendly with new people. He can be a very gentle finger nibbler, but it’s only another way of him getting to know you! He also has a very lovely singing voice when he`s feeling inspired.We unfortunately don’t have any information about his experiences with other animals or children in the home, but we’d love to set up a time for any resident dogs to come and get to know him, and we’ll have a conversation about setting everyone in the home up for success!
