Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi there, I’m Jill! I’m a 2-year-old, Lab mix with the softest fur and big brown eyes that people can’t help but fall in love with. After you give me a treat or two, I’ll be your loyal shadow and best snuggle buddy. I adore attention from my people — pets, belly rubs, and couch cuddles are my absolute favorite. And did I mention treats? Oh my goodness, those are the best! Offer me a snack, and I’ll happily follow you anywhere. Toys are also my jam — squeaky, chewy, bouncy, I love them all! I even enjoy romping around with my canine foster brother. He’s a little guy, so I make sure to play gently with him. After playtime, you’ll usually find me curled up on the couch with a good bone or snoozing the afternoon away. I’m also cat-friendly — I don’t mind them at all, even if they hiss or swat at me. When it comes to kids, I do better with older ones, since I’m still figuring out the little ones under 6. It’s time for me to find my very own family. Could that be you? If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and snuggly girl to love forever, I’ll be waiting! Apply to adopt me at BuffaloCares.org.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi! My name is Sander and I am a 3-year-old staffie/pittie mix with a soft beautiful brindle coat. I was found as a stray right here in Buffalo and I was living at the Buffalo Animal shelter until my foster mama took me in. Once I get to know you, I will be your best friend, give you endless kisses and snuggle up on your lap even though I weigh almost 60 lbs. I live with three other dogs right now of all different sizes. I really don't like cats, so no kitty friends for me. But I have been friends with every human I have met from big to small. I love running outside and belly rubs galore.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi my name is Atlas!! I am a 7 month old Lab/Hound mix or at least that is what we have been told, what we do know for sure is that I am a good boy! My foster mom tells me I am quite handsome, with my dreamy eyes and my beautiful smile, what do you think? People seem to like to pet me because I have been told I have the softest fur and that is ok because I love to be petted. I love all the attention I get when I am out in public, especially when those little kids come around, I love them! I give them the biggest kisses when I see them and I have even been known to try to clean their ears, well someone’s got to do it, why not me. I love playing with my foster siblings, especially when we can romp around in the backyard and you never know, you may find me splashing in the kiddie pool..I hope the swimming weather stays around a bit longer. I love toys, any toys but I have also been known to pull the stuffing out of some of them, I know I shouldn’t, but it is so much fun! Sometimes you may find me just sitting by myself chewing on a good bone, that is kind of like humans reading a good book right? I am also crate trained and I sleep in it all night without a peep but if you want me to keep you warm at night, I am certainly up for that as well. I am almost completely potty trained and with patience and schedule, I will have that conquered in no time and those things called cookies or treats are so yummy and I like to be a good boy so I can get lots of them. So, what do you say, are you looking for a best friend because I can fill those shoes or should I say paws for you. Just fill out an application today @ BuffaloCares.org so that we can start our forever together, I am waiting for you!

Story

Meet Meeps! Meeps is a sweet PomChi (Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix) weighing about 12 pounds. This black-and-tan girl is 5 years old and makes a wonderful little companion. She does great with dogs her size and currently lives happily with a 20-lb resident dog—they love to play together. Meeps would do well in a home with a dog who matches her energy level, or in a home where she can be the only pet. Meeps is very affectionate and bonded quickly with her foster parent. She is leash trained, crate trained, and does not chew. She enjoys going for walks and loves riding in the car. Like many small dogs, Meeps can be a bit vocal when meeting new people—she just likes to announce their arrival and make sure everyone is aware there’s a guest in the house. Once introductions are made, she settles in nicely. According to prior experience, she has done well with cats and children, though her foster home has not had the opportunity to test this directly. She was previously pee-pad trained, and her foster family is actively working on full housebreaking. Meeps is a gentle, loving girl who would make an excellent companion. Come meet her and see if she’s the perfect match for your home!

Story

Kay is a 14-month-old, 16-pound mini poodle who is looking for her furever home. She is sweet, snuggly, and playful. Kay can be shy when first meeting new people but give her a little time and patience and her loving personality truly shines through. Once she warms up, she becomes a devoted cuddle buddy who loves being close to her people. She wants to be with her foster mom all the time! She gets along quite well with the resident dogs and cat. Kay is fully house-broken, well- behaved in the home, and is making excellent progress walking on leash. She grew up with kids of all ages so can interact with them as well. She already knows her basic commands — sit, stay, and come — and she absolutely loves playing fetch! One of Kay’s most unique features is her one beautiful multi-colored eye, with both blue and brown. Her other eye is all brown. Kay is not a fan of her crate but crate training is in progress, and she will need to continue this training in her new home with patience and consistency. Kay is incredibly smart and will need a daily walk and puzzle toys to maintain her good behavior. She is also used to a fenced in yard where she can play and run. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate, playful companion who will reward you with endless snuggles, Kay may be the perfect match for you. Ag/Mkt RR 363
