Story

Scarlett was born 12/22/24 and was brought into our family in Feb. Of 2025. She was raised with our one year old son, so is used to children, she has also recently been introduced to our newborn. She is full of energy and does need a lot of play and walks. She loves cuddles and kisses, but is sometimes scared of her own shadow. Unfortunately during this time we've been forced to find a new home as our landlord sold our house and the new owner is moving in. We have not been able to find a place that will allow us to have her with us. She deserves a loving home.

Story

Cookie is a two year old people-magnet—the sweetest, gentlest boy you’ll ever meet. At 65 lbs, he knows his size and is exceptionally careful around people and other dogs. He loves dog parks, long walks, and training sessions, and always brings positive energy wherever he goes. Despite his enthusiasm, Cookie is just as content at home. He enjoys napping beside his people, playing games, and simply being near those he loves. He’s a true “stay close” kind of dog and often shows affection by leaning against your legs or resting his chin on your lap. Cookie walks well on leash without excessive pulling and is fully house-trained. He has never been in a fight with another dog—even when provoked—and won’t pull to engage with dogs he passes on walks. Cookie is being rehomed due to his current owner’s medical conditions, which have made dog ownership difficult. The adoption includes: -Cookie -His favorite accessories (jacket, leash, harness) -Snacks, food, and toys -Dog bowls

Story

EbonyBreed: Lab mixDOB: 7/30/25Weight: 16 lbsSex: FemaleSpay date scheduled Ebony is a sweet, playful pup that loves everyone She loves to be wherever you are. Her favorite things are toys, treats and chew bones. She loves her chew bones! Ebony is good with other dogs and children. She is in her teething stage so older children who understand her puppy play would be a better fit. We are not sure about cats since her foster Mom doesn't have any cats but she would probably want to play with them. Ebony loves to play with you or by herself. She loves to zoomie around with a toy in her mouth.Ebony is learning to potty outside. She is doing well when kept on a schedule. She is still a young puppy and gets rewarded with a treat when she potties outside. Ebony already knows the sit command and will learn more commands fast as long as treats are involved. Ebby also loves to chase leaves in the wind . She is a mischievous pup who is learning what "No" means. She will look up at you with her beautiful eyes and floppy ears wondering why she can not have what she wants. Ebony sleeps in her crate all night long and keeps it clean. If she cries during the night or early morning hours it means she needs to go outside to potty. After she will go back in her crate and sleep until morning. She also stays in her crate when foster mom needs to go somewhere. Her crate is always clean when foster Mom returns. Her foster Mom loves her beautiful black face with her brown eyebrows, chest and legs. Also the way she snuggles on the coach and falls asleep next to her. Ebony will make someone a very loving companion. ‍ If you are interested in Ebony, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved. ##2555845##

Story

ArcticSpayed female65lbsHusky Mix4 years old Arctic is a white Husky mix with striking blue eyes and a whole lot of main-character energy. She’s confident, expressive, and knows she deserves the spotlight. She’s playful and loves being involved in whatever you’re doing. She knows her basic commands, walks well on leash, and lives for backyard zoomies. True to her husky roots, she’s talkative and full of personality. Arctic loves attention and sometimes thinks she’s a lap dog. When she’s not snuggling, she’s in her spot by the window keeping an eye on the neighborhood or playing with her foster brother. She can be a little overexcited when meeting new dogs at first, but with time, she’s very dog-friendly and enjoys having a canine companion. Cats are a no for her. Because of her energy levels, Arctic would do best in a home with kids 13+. Arctic loves her toys and food so much that she’s sometimes reluctant to share. She’s learning her manners and thrives with consistent routines and clear boundaries. Arctic spends some time in the crate with the door open, but she does great being left out and doesn’t get into trouble. At night, she does a few security laps around the house and then settles in to sleep through the night on the floor or couch. Arctic is food-motivated, curious, affectionate, and deeply loyal. She’s finally experiencing a real Buffalo winter for the first time, and she can’t wait to spend the rest of it in her forever home. If you are interested in Arctic, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved. ##2524747##
