Oca

Male, 10 mos

Schenectady, NY

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Oca needs a family! One of the local shelters we pull from shared reports of Oca roaming a Greensboro neighborhood near a local college campus for several days. Neighbors said he was happy to accept treats from anyone who offered, but he’d quickly dart away if they tried to touch him. At just 7 months old, his limited experience made him shy around people - but time spent playing with other dogs has helped him blossom! He’s now running and playing when initially he wouldn’t. He’s being the silly puppy he couldn’t be on the streets…like playing with your shoelaces, tossing toys in the air and awing you when he wants attention or another treat! Oca is 51.0lbs., heartworm negative and up to date on his vaccines.

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This handsome young GSD mix named Benny narrowly escaped euthanasia at an overcrowded shelter. He was brought in after he suffered a foot injury (possibly hit by a bike or car). He ended up with a bone infection in his foot which has now been treated by the vet and is healing nicely. He should be out of the cast in about 2 weeks and he's feeling great. Benny is a happy dog, is very playful and good with people. We have not been able to test him with kids or other dogs or cats due to the injury. He is in a very temporary foster home and we need to find him a forever home quickly. He is 2 years old and 63 lbs. Fully vaccinated and will be neutered prior to adoption. Benny deserves a better life than living on the streets. If you can help by fostering or adopting, please reach out to Julie asap on 919 624 0059.
