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.

Story

Hi, I’m Lyle! I’m a 1-year-old purebred English Bulldog weighing around 65 lbs. I’m up to date on all my shots, neutered, and come with all my breeder paperwork. I am fully house and crate trained. I’m a happy, playful, and energetic guy who loves attention and being around people. Whether it’s playtime or just hanging out, I’m always down to be part of the moment. I’m also fully potty trained, so I’ve already got the basics down! I do best as the only pet in the home, as I don’t get along well with other animals—but with humans, I’m all love. I’d thrive in a home where I can get the time, attention, and activity I enjoy. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun companion with a big personality, I might just be your guy.

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

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##

Im a high energy fellow in a tiny pint size body. Im always looking for adventure everyday. I came up here from NC with my brother Steve and we have experienced snow for the first time. We love it!!!! I love playing with my toys with my brother. I love getting to hang out with my 2 big foster brothers and my foster sister. I am a very curious fellow as I am experiencing many new things for the first time. After a long full day of play I love cuddling with foster mom before bedtime. I like walks but I still get scared of new things so I will need some help. I am learning sit but id rather not I get so excited for treats or just your attention. Id love to find a family that Will ( no pun intended) love me just for me. Will loves his toysLoves car ridesLoves literally every person he meetsLoves all dogsIs fully crate trained and sleeps through the night insideWill is working on potty training, he does well if let out on a very regular schedule or he will have accidents. Would do great in a home with other playmates of any kind.Side note Will is currently very high energy and loves adventures he prefers a walk on the wild side over Netflix and chill.
