Story
Loki is a sweet and loving 7-year-old dog who’s ready to find his next forever home. He has a gentle soul and has been a loyal, well-loved member of our family. He’s fantastic with kids—patient, playful, and always happy to be included in the fun or just curl up for snuggles. Loki gets along wonderfully with female dogs and has done great in multi-dog households. He can be selective with male dogs, so a home without male dogs—or with careful introductions—would be best for his happiness and comfort. He’s fully house-trained, up to date on all his vaccinations, and in good health. Loki thrives in a calm, loving environment where he can be part of the family and feel safe and secure. This decision has been incredibly difficult for us, and our top priority is finding a home where he will be loved as much as he’s loved here. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger capacity to love, Loki just might be the perfect fit.

Story
We rescued Gidget in Spring 2021. Her exact age is unknown but they thought she was around a year old at that time. She has been through formal training and knows her commands and listens well, including my youngest child. She still struggles with impulse control at times. She loves to snuggle with her family and thinks she’s a lap dog. She’s eager to please her owners. She is friendly with other animals however she tries to herd our cats, chickens and goats. Unfortunately we are rehoming her because we don’t have enough time for her and because she does not do well with children that do not live in our home. She nips at them, we think she is trying to herd them but we can’t seem to control this issue. She needs to go to a child free home. She is fearful of strangers but warms up quickly. She will come with a crate, food, snacks, toys, her collar and leash.

Allie

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
Baldwinsville, NY
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Allie came to me from New Jersey as part of a cruelty case. She was running at large and beyond thin. During her time with me we have worked on her meal plan, which has been challenging as Allie has a lot of energy. She can burn calories fast. Allie had little to no obedience and has learned her basics very quickly. She is very attentive and eager to learn as well as being very food motivated. During her time with me the rescue closed and I choose to keep her versus putting her in boarding. She would make a great jogging partner, SAR or tracking, or even agility. When we go for a walk her nose hits the ground and it could stay there if I let it. Her tail wags constantly and she is generally a very happy dog. Allie does not do fireworks or loud thunder. Other than that NOTHING phases this dog, not even the vacuum. There is nothing that goes on in the home that she doesn't know about. She has been with me for almost 2 years and is ready for her own family.

Freya

American Staffordshire Terrier Boxer

Female, Young
Memphis, NY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Freya is an absolute sweat-heart and loves to curl up and cuddle with other dogs or people and is in need of a new home. She loves to be the center of attention. She also is incredibly energetic, sometimes to a fault as she likes to jump, and she has not been able to distinguish between jumping on grown adults or small children. Sometimes she just wants to jump up and give a hug. She is a Staffordshire Pitt and boxer mix, she is 3 years old in April. She is up to date on her shots, I just gave her brace to 5/29 and she had an annual heartworm injection back in October. Freya is good with other dogs, and she can be good with larger kids but my reason for rehoming her is that she is not good with small children like toddlers or preschoolers. Not so much out of aggression but she likes to jump and she will take food sometimes as well. New humans have to be introduced slowly as she is nervous around new people and animals, she had never been around cats or any other house pets

Story
We took Stella in when she was 3 months old. She is a sweet girl. Our kids are 12 and 10 and she is so good with them and loves their energy. We have another dog around the same age, a female. However in the past several months Stella has shown signs of aggression towards our other dog. We have tried different things to address this but unfortunately it has become a safety issue for the dogs and we are keeping them separated.. She does well at the dog sitter with other dogs, just not ours.

Syracuse, NY
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Sadly we have to rehome our 2 year old mastiff pit, Benji. We just got into a situation where we can no longer afford where we’re staying and have to move to a situation that doesnt allow us to take our sweet boy. Unfortunately hes not socialized enough so he doesnt like other dogs, hes fine with cats and kids though. He knows basic commands, is crate trained, house trained, had his rabies vaccine, but isnt neutered. Hes very wary of strangers so it would take someone who has time to give him. Hes protective and so sweet after some time. It hurts to have to rehome him but Ive exhausted all of my other options.
