Story
We love our dog. He is the best dog. We are forced to rehome him and we’re very sad about it. Toby has lots of energy. He’s very friendly and loves to cuddle. He loves couch sitting and table food but he’ll eat dog food if necessary. He’s beautiful and very smart. He can go on long walks but he’s happy to sleep away the day. Toby has separation anxiety and likes to be with people. He will follow you all around. He sleeps a lot but loves to play and run when he can. We’re looking for the perfect family to love our perfect dog.

Story
Togo was a show dog I bought during the pandemic. He’s a purebred Siberian husky whose very easy to teach, super lovable and friendly. Will be super attached to you and love you. Has a sassy personality but is a gentle giant. He does have separation anxiety but not aggressive otherwise. He needs a new home and I wish I could give him the care he needs but I have too busy of a schedule. He’s a gorgeous lovely husky

Story
Ziggy is a gorgeous dog with a lush white coat, a wagging tail, and a happy smile. He is a middle-aged gent (7 years old/50 lbs), who has been professionally trained. Not your average dog, Ziggy is our 'unicorn' who when he loves, loves with his whole heart. Ziggy will need slow introductions to new people especially in his home. and he likes to be the protector of his person/people, so it's always necessary he be put in another room when new people enter the home. Ziggs takes time to warm up to new people, although he can sometimes make a snap judgment that yes, you're his kind of people and it's love at first sight. Ziggs loves his walks, is housetrained, is wonderfully affectionate with 'his' people, loves to play fetch (he's a pro), and can also amuse himself for hours playing with a ball or two or four! A good roll in the grass, a belly rub, showing off his sit, paw, and down for a treat, he's pretty amazing . Ziggy loves a car ride, and often goes for a ride with staff for a bagel! Well behaved when home alone, As stated. once he decides he loves you, his love has no boundaries! Ziggy also needs slow introductions to other dogs, but at this stage in his life, he's fine being solo. Our Ziggs is ready to find the person to devote his life to; he's neutered, up to date with vaccinations, microchipped. Ziggy is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, microchipped and ready to find his person to devote his life to Please fill in this application https://poshpetsrescueny.org/dog-application/

Story
Hi my name is CHARLIE and I am an adorable, handsome, sweet ELEVEN-year-old male SHIPOO (Shihtzu/Poodle), with a gorgeous coat of white and gray. I weigh just 14 pounds, so it’s easy for you to take me anywhere you want to go . I am also great for people with allergies. I’m a very special dog in so many ways and can’t wait for a special person to welcome me to their home. But I do need someone that realizes I am incontinent and will need to wear diapers. Let me explain part of what makes me special: is I had an ACCIDENT on my BACK and my previous owner gave me to my rescue. I'm so grateful because they have taken such great care of me. They had surgery done by an outstanding orthopedic surgeon and now I can stand up, walk a little, and even run. I’m a bit funny though because I get so excited to be running that I then topple over. Oops! I am very skilled at using my wheelchair to get around fast! I’ll race you! We are not sure if the surgery worked completely; one day I may be able to run without my wheels, but I don’t mind them at all, so either way I’m a happy guy! Nothing stops me from playing with my DOG and CAT friends in my foster home. I may have extra wheels, but I am just a normal fun-loving dog who has a lot of love to give. My foster mom puts me in the swimming pool and I really love to swim. I have been neutered and have all my shots and do what a belly band as I do occasionally have accidents in the home and need help going to the bathroom Please fill out this application by copying and pasting link into your browser. https://poshpetsrescueny.org/dog-application/

Story
VERY ACTIVE DOG Hi, my name is MANGO and I am an adorable ONE-YEAR-OLD FEMAL AMERICAN STAFFIE MIX. I weigh just 39 pounds fully grown so I am just the perfect size for living in the city or the burbs. My pointy ears and beautiful eyes will give you full attention as you tell me how sweet I am and how lucky we are to have found each other. I have a stunning black coat with unique sprinkles of white on my little face. I am with a trainer now learning all my basic obedience and he said he's never had such a smart pup as I learn what he was teaching me in two days. He said I need structure and exercise to be the best dog ever I will be great with people who jog or hike or understand I do need plenty of exercise and to keep me crated when not home for training purposes which I love and enjoy I love to run and play with other DOGS and like any typical young dog, and not a mean bone in my body with other dogs I am housetrained and Spayed with all my shots and Microchip Please fill out this application by copying and pasting a link into your browser https://poshpetsrescueny.org/dog-application/ Fostered in ROSCOE NY
