Story
Junior is a Courtesy Listing Dog, He is not in the shelter, if you are interest on him please contact with Kysa Roberts to get more information.Contact Phone # (518) 593-5825Email: stdennish@aol.comJunior is best overlooked boy around! He is great on a leash and loves everyone he meets! He is fully vetted and is doing EXCELLENT in his foster home learning how to live a real doggy life. He is now ready for his very own lifelong home.Junior is very good with other dogs, hiking, playing at the parkh etc.. However, he does seem to really like his toys and gets possessive over them, so we are recommending an only dog home due to that. However, he is overall dog aggressive at all and has many playdates. Cats he finds interesting and tends to chase. Even though he is very happy in foster, we have several other dogs needing placement and cant come in, until we have room. Please consider Junior and help make space for another in need!**Courtesy Listings are for owners looking to place their pets without them coming into the shelter because the shelter is full, or the owner prefers to find a new family for their pet on their own.

Story
**Courtesy Listing** Fin is not at Elmore SPCA. If you are interested in adopting him, please reach out to his owner, Susan, directly at (518) 369-9673 or susanshops@aol.com.We recently got Fin from a rescue in TX with the understanding he's good with cats. He's definitely NOT. He's a sweet, loving boy who really really wants to be good. He's very strong and high energy and loves to play. He's spent most of his life staked outside with little love or human interaction. He needs a fenced yard, perhaps a canine playmate, love, structure and patience. He's food oriented, so training treats will be key. Later in the day we picked Fin up, my husband had a heart attack, so while we adore him, he's just too much for us right now. He's great in the car, but will chew the crap out of toys and his plush bed right now, although he doesn't chew on the towels in his crate. Can you provide his awesome forever home?**Courtesy Listings are for owners looking to place their pets without them coming into the shelter because the shelter is full, or the owner prefers to find a new family for their pet on their own.
