Story
Lucia has spay date 2 days before Thanksgiving, we were planning on paying for that so the fee requested above is half. We met her in Oswego and felt she needed rescuing: she was 6 mos old and had no vet care nor training. Quite food-driven so must have had to compete with other pups. Now 10 mos old and went through her first heat. Love her to bits but feel that in our remote location she needs more socialization while at the same time our yard is only fenced on 3 sides and she wants to run so needs a fenced yard. Still teething and loves to catch baby carrots and ice cubes from across the room! Due to the teething she is crate-trained. Good-natured but also a good watchdog. Now pretty house-trained and will ask to go out. Good on leash but will lunge occasionally when excited. Don't give her a big meal before car rides! We think she is part lab, part Pit and part Akita or Australian shepherd. She has Lab paws and build, Aussie ears & tail & Pit coloring. Soft, snuggly and beautiful.

Chase

Husky Akita

Male, Young
Weedsport, NY
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Chase is a 4-year-old Husky–Akita mix with a big heart and an adventurous spirit. Due to our daughter’s severe and worsening allergies, we must rehome him as soon as possible, and we’re urgently seeking a safe, loving new home for him. Chase is neutered and will be fully up to date on vaccinations before adoption. He’s smart, food-motivated, and eager to please. He’s been good with our kids and family but can get overexcited with new people or children, so he’ll do best with calm, confident owners who can provide clear boundaries. He loves the outdoors and needs plenty of space to run and explore freely—he truly comes alive in the snow. Chase will thrive as the only pet in an active home that can give him structure, attention, and love.

Rye Bread

American Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Male, Young
Syracuse, NY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rye Bread came from a neglectful home where he was tied outside and escaped often. When returned to his owner, they said they were moving soon and could not keep him. Fearing he would be dumped, my husband and I took him in. Unfortunately, we have two elderly dogs that want nothing to do with him, so he has to be kept separately. Rye wants nothing more than to be next to his human. He deserves a home and family of his own. He has loved everyone he's met, but he can be a little shy with new men. He is ready for a home that will give him plenty of exercise and a lap to cuddle in after a day of playing. He is young, and still learning his own strength, so he would do best in a home without young children. We have learned that Rye has barrier aggression, so he needs to be introduced to animals carefully and cannot meet new people through a fence. Rye does not have an adoption fee, but any interested party will need to be vetted.

Story
I regret to inform everyone that I have a beautiful yellow lab pit mix who is about six years old whom I need to rehome. His name is Sir. Hugs-alot knight of the bone table. I know that’s a mouth full so we just call him Huggy. He’s a bit of a jumper when he’s excited and about 70lb of muscle. If you know someone who has the patience and will take the time to work with him please share this. Im in the national guard and leaving for training soon. i just want him to have a loving home... He is not nurtured.
