Rye Bread

American Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Size

Details
Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
My husband and I rescued Rye from his previous situation hoping to have him quickly placed elsewhere. While we love him to death, our 2 elderly dogs want nothing to do with him. To keep him safe, we have to keep him separate, and it’s not ideal for anyone (one dog or another is always crying and lonely). Rye has come a long way in the time we’ve had him. Before we took him in, he was tied outside, scared of raised hands, and constantly looking for opportunities to run away. Now, he simply wants to play tug and take naps. He is still learning his own strength, but he is very eager to please and a quick learner. He still has remnants of ‘stranger danger’ when meeting people through fences and on walks, but he loves meeting new people inside the house. Once he knows you, he loves you. What Rye really needs, is a patient home that understands pitties and will continue training him. He has no adoption fee, but every applicant will be thoroughly vetted.

Story
Alfie needs a backyard. He does not do well on a leash and he does better going to the bathroom in a yard. He does get nervous around other dogs but is not aggressive, he just needs a little bit to warm up. I think he would do better as the only dog in the house. He loves to play fetch and can play for hours outside. Inside he is pretty relaxed and loves attention. He is a very sweet dog and does well with children.

Story
My dogs name is Milo. He will be 1 years old April 11th 2026. Wonderful dog. Great energy. Loves kids. I bought him off a close friend of mine when he was a puppy. Didn’t take long to become potty and house trained. He loves squeaky toys and ropes. He loves being taken for a walk and being pet. He gets bathed with no issues. Amazing family dog. Unfortunately my significant other has bad allergies and can’t be around him at all. Didn’t learn this until he got a little older. Looking for a new home for him. Would love for him to be with a family who can care for him with the love and attention he needs.

Louie

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier

Male, Adult
Syracuse, NY
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is Louie , He’s an 8-year-old Yorkshire Terrier (turning 9 this year) who is in overall great health and still has plenty of love to give. He does have a history of a collapsing trachea, which is something to be mindful of, but aside from that, he’s doing very well. He’s a loving, loyal companion who truly bonds with his person and enjoys a calm, comfortable environment. Like many Yorkies, he has a little bit of attitude and personality, which honestly just adds to his charm. He would do best in a quieter home without young children or very energetic dogs, as he prefers a more relaxed setting where he can feel safe and at ease. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate dog who will quickly steal your heart, he may be the perfect match for you.

Petunia

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young
Syracuse, NY
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Petunia was a stray I took in over the summer. She is around 1-2 years old. She loves all people and gets along with dogs when given the time to meet them. I have to rehome her because she has a strong prey drive and cannot live with my 2 cats. She is mostly potty trained, but tends to have an accident when left home alone for longer periods of time (6-8hours). She has lived with another dog before and loved him. She loves children but forgets shes a big girl. She loves tug of war, cuddling, walks, and car rides. She is not a fan of being crated and becomes stressed when put in one (destroys bed/tries to break out). She currently has her own room she stays in when I leave because she will get into things if she has access to the whole house.
