Story
Diesel is 13 years old. I recently had to move to Florida from NY and I work away from home over 12 hours a day and travel alot. He needs a person who has time for him. He walks great on a leash and loves to accompany you anywhere and everywhere! He can do tricks and really just wants attention. He is ok with other dogs, but has never shared attention with one , so I don't know how he'd be. I am desperate to find him a good home and feel awful to do this. But this is no life for a dog, he deserves more than what I can give him.

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
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.
