Carlos

Pug

Male, Adult

Lancaster, NY

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We adopted Carlos when he was 6 weeks old and he is now 3. He was professionally trained on an e-collar in 2025 and has been a work in progress since. Carlos is your typical snuggle pug who loves and needs your attention and will follow you everywhere you go. His favorite hobby is eating. He snores loud and barks louder. He is the most adorable in the early morning when he rolls over for a belly scratch. He also has a split personality and can be very untruthworthy when nervous or scared. He has nipped friends and family in times of high anxiety. We have taken time to doggy daycare and long stays, he has always done well. We first adopted his brother who shares the same parents, from a different litter. They both fight for dominance and Carlos has been digressing with his training and we are no longer able to welcome guests to our home due to his territorial behavior. We feel he would thrive in an environment with no other animals and no small children until trust is built.

Depew, NY

Size

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

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I’m heartbroken to have to make this post, but we need to find the right home for our pup, Obi. He is 6 years old and will be turning 7 on October 26th.Obi has severe anxiety around small children, which can trigger stress-induced seizures. Since our toddler has become more active and mobile, his stress levels have increased. Our vet has recommended rehoming him, as training has not improved the situation. It isn’t fair to Obi to live in constant stress, and it isn’t fair to our toddler to be limited from acting like a normal child.Obi has worked with a trainer and does very well on walks. He still needs some continued work with obedience, but he is a loving, intelligent dog with so much to offer. He gets along best with female dogs, but he also does well with our male Husky. He loves playing fetch, catching balls in the air, and running laps.We are looking for a loving home with no children 8 years old or younger. Obi is neutered, but he is not up to date on vaccines.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lexi is about 9yrs. "Lexi Bear" is a nickname. She is a pure bred German Shepherd; a friend gave her to me when she was 3. She loves to play fetch and will for hours if you let her. She enjoys attention and affection but will keep to herself often. She is a gentle dog and listens very well. She is very good in the yard without a leash. She is currently homed with a male bulldog-pit mix and has been for the last 6 years. They have always been pals and are great around kids.Lexi has had an autoimmune issue with her skin and eyes since she was about 3 years old. She is currently on low dose meds and it has been working well. The autoimmune condition has caused low vision (has improved greatly) and she would get severely itchy/infected skin when she wasn't on medication (due to autoimmune condition).I hope she can be in a home that gives her the daily care and activity she needs

Coco

American Staffordshire Terrier American Bulldog

Female, Adult

Clarence, NY

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This is Coco, and we’re hoping to find her the loving home she deserves. ❤️ Coco is a 5-year-old Pit Bull mix. Her owner passed away earlier this year, and we’ve been fostering her since then while trying to find the right family. She’s a sweet girl with so much love to give. She loves being around people and just wants someone to love her as much as she’ll love them. The only thing is that Coco needs to be the only dog in the home, as she doesn’t do well with other dogs. Because of that, we’re being patient and waiting for the right fit. If you think you might be the right fit—or know someone who is—please send me a message.
