Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Young, energetic, smart, loyal, and just a little bit of a busybody — meet Buzz! Buzz is a young guy with energy to spare and a big personality to match. He’s looking for an active human who wants a true adventure buddy and understands that a dog like Buzz needs more than a couple of quick walks around the block. He wants to DO things! Long walks, hiking, exploring, fetch in a fenced yard, training classes, scent work, agility… Buzz is ready to clock in! His ideal home will give him plenty of physical exercise and opportunities to use his busy brain. Because when Buzz doesn't have an appropriate outlet for all that energy, he can get a little antsy — and a bored Buzz is not necessarily the Buzz you want running the meeting.  Buzz can take a little time to warm up to new people, but luckily, he has discovered one of life's greatest shortcuts to friendship:   FOOD. He is incredibly treat motivated, which makes building trust and working on training both easier and fun. Once Buzz decides you're his person, you've got yourself a loyal best friend for life. He bonds deeply with his people and loves being by their side. Buzz + Other Animals Buzz has reportedly lived with cats and did well with them. His previous home reported that he would simply ignore the cats and even allowed them to rub against him. Since becoming a Diamond, Buzz has also spent time around several social dogs and has done well. He can be a little rough-and-tumble when playing, but he's also perfectly capable of peacefully coexisting with other dogs when it's not playtime. Because Buzz is currently working through some pent-up energy and continuing to build his social skills, we feel a home without young children is the best fit for him right now. Buzz + Training Buzz is a smart guy who needs structure, consistency, and clear expectations. He's already completed a board-and-train program working on manners and social skills and did great with handlers he knew and trusted. Like many young, energetic dogs, though, new environments can be challenging. When he's surrounded by unfamiliar sights, sounds, smells, and distractions, Buzz can lose focus and become a little... bossy. His ideal human will be someone who is willing to continue his training, give him clear direction, and lovingly hold him accountable. Buzz doesn't need someone who expects him to figure everything out on his own — he needs someone who will show him the way and consistently follow through. His adoption will include follow-up sessions with his current trainer, so his new family will have support as they continue building on everything Buzz has learned. And now for the really important stuff… What's in Buzz? His Wisdom Panel DNA results are in, and apparently Buzz is basically a Canine United Nations. 48% Siberian Husky 18% Labrador Retriever 10% American Pit Bull Terrier 8% Boxer 5% American Bulldog 2% Alaskan Malamute 2% Rottweiler 2% German Shorthaired Pointer 2% German Shepherd 1% American Staffordshire Terrier 1% Golden Retriever 1% Chihuahua So, basically, Buzz is 48% Husky, 18% Lab, and 100% Buzz. If you're looking for an active, intelligent dog who will keep you moving, challenge you to keep up with your training game, and become incredibly loyal once you've earned his trust, Buzz is ready to meet you.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. ► We do not adopt to Canada  due to border restrictions and breed-specific legislation ► We adopt & foster locally only ; within an approximately 55 mile radius of Lockport, NY 14094 USA Adoption donation includes Spay/Neuter, Vaccinations, deworming & flea treatment.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Scooby! Scooby is one smart cookie with a whole lot of personality — and let’s be honest, those ears are doing some serious heavy lifting in the personality department. We’re pretty sure at least one of them is permanently tuned in to the sound of a treat bag opening. He is also pretty darn good at entertaining himself. Tossing a toy into the air and catching it? Check. Whipping it around like he just won the Super Bowl? Check. Chasing his own tail because apparently that's a perfectly reasonable way to spend an afternoon? Absolutely. But Scooby doesn't want to have all the fun by himself. He loves playing with his people, especially a good game of tug-of-war or chasing a squeaky ball. He enjoys fetch, too — although he's figured out that if he looks at your hand first, there's a pretty good chance a treat might magically appear. He's a negotiator.  And if there's water involved? Even better! Scooby loves being outdoors and has a serious appreciation for playing in the water. He is always ready for an adventure and would happily be your sidekick for walks, exploring, and outdoor fun.  Scooby is crate trained and has great leash manners. He knows sit, lay down, no, and come here, and he has even mastered the art of waiting for permission before eating his dinner. He'll wait patiently for that "go"… although there may be a little drool involved.  Scooby needs a human who is willing to keep him on his toes — in the best way! He’s smart, eager to please, and very treat motivated, so he’s a fun dog to train. His ideal person will continue working with him, set clear boundaries, and be consistent about following through. He may try to convince you that the rules are merely suggestions (those ears can be very persuasive!), so he needs someone confident enough to say, “Nice try, Scoob,” and stick to the plan. A note about Scooby's adoption Scooby did have a nip incident, and unfortunately, we don't have enough information about what triggered it or exactly why it happened. Because we don't want to make assumptions about the circumstances, we're looking for an adopter who understands that dogs communicate in different ways and is willing to give Scooby the structure, patience, and continued guidance he needs to succeed. We're happy to talk openly with potential adopters about what we know and don't know about the incident so that everyone can make an informed decision about whether Scooby is the right match. Because Scooby has so much to offer, we don't want one unexplained moment to define the rest of his story. He's goofy. He's smart. He's loyal. He's playful. He's an adventurer. And he's a professional treat enthusiast. If you're looking for a fun-loving best friend who will make you laugh, keep you moving, sit on your feet, and happily follow you wherever the adventure leads… Scooby is ready to meet you.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. ► We do not adopt to Canada  due to border restrictions and breed-specific legislation ► We adopt & foster locally only ; within an approximately 55 mile radius of Lockport, NY 14094 USA Adoption donation includes Spay/Neuter, Vaccinations, deworming & flea treatment.

If you're looking for a fun-loving sidekick with a heart as big as her personality, Bleu is your girl!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Goose! Goose is a happy-go-lucky, handsome boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This lovable guy is friendly with everyone he meets and has a wonderful, affectionate nature. Goose is dog-friendly, but because of his young age and enthusiastic play style, he would do best in a home without small dogs or cats. Goose has had a difficult experience in the past and was previously attacked by another dog, so dog introductions should be slow, thoughtful, and allow him time to feel comfortable. With patience and proper introductions, Goose has shown that he can enjoy the company of canine friends. Goose came to us as a stray and appears to have missed out on some basic training, but he is eager to learn! He is highly motivated by snacks. His leash skills are also a work in progress—there is just so much in the world for Goose to explore! With consistency and guidance, he is learning to focus on his person and become the best walking buddy he can be. Because Goose is an active, curious young dog, he would do best in a home with a secure fenced-in yard where he can safely burn off energy, play, and enjoy some outdoor time. A family who can provide him with exercise, structure, and continued training will help Goose become the amazing companion we know he can be. After some activity and adventure, Goose is happiest relaxing with his people and soaking up some well-earned snuggles. His sweet personality, goofy charm, and loving nature make him a wonderful companion for a family ready to help him continue growing. Could Goose be the missing piece to your family?Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. ► We do not adopt to Canada  due to border restrictions and breed-specific legislation ► We adopt & foster locally only ; within an approximately 55 mile radius of Lockport, NY 14094 USA Adoption donation includes Spay/Neuter, Vaccinations, deworming & flea treatment.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Buddy! ❤️ If you're looking for a loyal adventure buddy with a heart of gold, Buddy is ready to meet you! This handsome tripod has never let life slow him down. He greets each day with a wagging tail, an eager nose, and excitement for whatever adventure comes next. Buddy may only have three legs, but don't tell him that! He loves exploring local parks, sniffing every interesting scent, and taking in the world around him. Whether it's a leisurely hike, a neighborhood stroll, or a car ride to somewhere new, Buddy is always up for tagging along. When the adventures are over, Buddy is all about the simple things in life—a comfy spot to relax, a favorite chew bone, and spending time with his people. He has a sweet, affectionate personality and truly enjoys meeting new friends. Once he's had some fun, he's more than happy to settle in for a well-earned nap by your side. Buddy has overcome more than most dogs ever should, and his resilience is nothing short of amazing. Today, he's thriving as a tripod and doesn't let his missing leg define him. He gets around beautifully and is proof that sometimes the biggest hearts belong to those who have overcome the toughest journeys. Buddy is looking for his one dedicated person, in a dog-savvy, low-traffic home where he can continue to build confidence with a predictable routine. In addition, he has a strong prey drive, so he would do best as the only pet, allowing him to soak up all the love and attention he deserves. Buddy has spent far too long waiting for someone to see just how special he is. He's not looking for perfection—just one person to call his own. If you're searching for a loyal companion, an adventure partner, and a best friend who will love you with his whole heart, Buddy is ready to start his next chapter with you. After waiting so long, isn't it Buddy's turn to finally go home? ❤️Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. ► We do not adopt to Canada  due to border restrictions and breed-specific legislation ► We adopt & foster locally only ; within an approximately 55 mile radius of Lockport, NY 14094 USA Adoption donation includes Spay/Neuter, Vaccinations, deworming & flea treatment.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Rocky! ❤️ If you're looking for a best friend who's equal parts goofy, loyal, and overflowing with love, Rocky is your guy! This handsome 5-year-old Boxer-Bully mix has never met a stranger he didn't want to greet with a wagging tail and a happy wiggle. His favorite things in life? His people, belly rubs, treats, and making every day a little more fun. Rocky has left his difficult past behind and is ready to start his next chapter with a family who will love him as much as he'll love them. He's the definition of a Velcro dog—wherever you go, he'll be right there, happily keeping you company. Whether he's proudly strolling through the neighborhood, showing off his zoomies in the yard, chasing his favorite ball, supervising dinner preparations, or convincing himself he's the perfect 60-pound lap dog, Rocky knows how to make every moment entertaining. This smart boy is eager to learn and loves working for treats, making training both fun and rewarding. He already knows his basic manners, is house-trained, enjoys the security of his crate, and even knows how to walk on a treadmill like a pro! While Rocky enjoys getting out for adventures, he's not a high-maintenance athlete. A nice walk or a game of fetch followed by a long afternoon lounging by the window is his perfect day. From his favorite lookout spot, he happily watches the neighborhood go by, keeping a close eye on passing neighbors—and, of course, sounding the alarm if a squirrel dares enter his territory! He's always hopeful that every knock at the door means new friends have come to visit. Rocky is looking for a home where he can soak up all the love as the only pet. He absolutely adores people and prefers not to share his family with other animals. He has done well participating in structured training classes and pack walks with calm, well-managed dogs, showing that with space and guidance he can enjoy being around them. Because Rocky is a strong, enthusiastic boy, he'd do best with older, respectful children who can enjoy his playful personality without being accidentally knocked over. He also loves to chew, so keeping plenty of durable dog toys on hand will make him one happy pup! Rocky isn't just looking for a home—he's looking for his people. The ones he'll greet with full-body wiggles every day, follow from room to room, and love with his whole heart. In return, you'll get a faithful companion, endless laughs, unconditional love, and a best friend who will remind you every single day just how wonderful life is with a dog by your side. Could Rocky be the missing piece your family has been waiting for? ❤️Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. ► We do not adopt to Canada  due to border restrictions and breed-specific legislation ► We adopt & foster locally only ; within an approximately 55 mile radius of Lockport, NY 14094 USA Adoption donation includes Spay/Neuter, Vaccinations, deworming & flea treatment.
