Who doesn’t love brownies? Except ours really is the best, because he’s super sweet and is a gent on the leash! Don’t be fooled by his “serious thinking face” – Brownie’s (64 lbs) got a uniquely goofy play style, and feels at home with human friends or other canine pals. He’s always more than happy to spend time with either one. We just can’t wait for you to fall in love with him, too! Stop by during our open hours of noon to 4:30pm Wed - Sundays (6:30pm on Thursdays), and give yourself a little sweet treat!You can also reach our adoptions team:by email: adoptions@spcaonline.comby phone (during open hours): 607-257-1822 x221(Adoptions Category: Orange)

Story
Meet our midwestern sweetheart, Dakota! Her powdered sugar face was brought to us as a shy girl, but her personality now is in full bloom. Dakota is a happy, wiggly girl who’s ready for butt scratches any day! You know you’re good in her book when she shows you her prized possession – her turtle stuffie. Our old lady thinks that younger kids are a thing of the past, and would love to be in a home with an older family! If you have a dog(s) already in your home, once you meet Dakota, our adoptions team would set up a meet-and-greet with your resident pup in a controlled environment with our behavior staff to see if they get along. Want to meet Dakota and see if they’re a match for you? Visit our adoption center Wednesday–Sunday: 12:00–4:30 PM (Thursday: 12:00–6:30 PM) You can also reach our adoptions team: by email: adoptions@spcaonline.com by phone (during open hours): 607-257-1822 x221

Story
Hey there! I`m Jada, 80 pounds of cute and hilarious! I`m very excited to introduce myself. I had to come back to the shelter because my person had to move to a place where they couldn`t have dogs. Some of my favourite things to do are go on walks, roll in the grass outside and play with toys. My past humans have reported that I am good with kids (as long as they don`t try to take my food or toys). I shouldn`t live with other animals because I don`t like to share, but playdates might be possible once you get to know me! Anyway, the best way to know if we are a good match is to come and meet me! If you would like to do that, please call or email the adoption center at adoptions@spcaonline.com or (607)257-1822 x 221.
