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.

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.

Story

Teddy is the best 3yr old dog for any home. He does well with everyone in any environment. You can leave water and food out for him at all times and he'll still not have mistakes in the house. He loves to cuddle. sleeps in the bed with family but will also sleep alone. He has no issue getting in his area when its time to, even do well at the groomers. I have to re-home him and his brother because of my schedule. My oldest has went away to college, so between my teenager and I, having sports and work they are always home along for hours and its not fair to them. Love Teddy and want him to go to a great home.

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

Rolo

American Bulldog American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Clarence, NY

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rolo is about 9 yrs old. He is a rescue dog. I adopted him in Colorado when he was about 3. He was originally rescued in Texas. He has been healthy since owning him. He is very affectionate and will be a lap dog and snuggle buddy if you let him. He tends to be everyone's favorite that meets him. "Buddy Boy" is one of his nicknames. He has been pals with my other dog, a female German Shepherd (he was also pals with a German Shepherd at the rescue shelter before adopting him). Rolo likes to sunbathe, even if it's inside near a window that the sun shines through. He is very good "off leash" around the yard, he knows to stick close by. I hope that he is able to be in a home that gives him the attention, affection, and activity that he needs every day. Preferably a home that has someone home with him during the day.
