Story
My name is Anya, I am a smaller, mixed breed adult around 4 years old. I am a very independent, mellow girl who loves laying in the grass on a nice summer day. I am potty, crate and kennel trained. I enjoy walks, snackies and belly rubs. I will make you giggle when I get the zoomies in the yard. I get along great with my foster brother who is a mellow adult male. We will play but we also simply enjoy each others company. I would be best in a home with no dogs or an adult male who matches my energy. Ive been diligently working on my stranger danger. I’ve met women and accepted them rather quickly under proper introductions. Meeting men is a bit more challenging for me. A couple meet and greets will be required so I am fully comfortable before I go to my forever home. An experienced dog owner would be best suited for me. I am loving, protective and loyal to my person and otherwise a pretty content, easy going girl. If I sound like the dog for you, please apply for me at https://www.buffalounderdogs.com ##1041328##

Story
Reid is a super happy and easy-going 3.5 year old pittie. He is potty trained, crate trained, and gets along well with other dogs. He's a great companion dog who will cuddle up with you on the couch to watch the Bills game and sleep through the night right next to you in bed. He loves to chew on his bones, get belly rubs, and lay outside soaking up the sun. He also walks pretty well on a leash and loves to stroll around the block a few times and check out all of the sights and smells. Reid can be a little bit shy and slow to warm up to new people but his huge smile, tail wags and butt wiggles are infectious and are guaranteed to make you smile. If you think Reid could be your newest best friend apply at buffalounderdogs.com/adopt ##848389##

Story
Snoopy: Male Beagle Mixed Breed Puppy - Hi, I’m an enthusiastic 7 month old, 33 lbs puppy who loves to play. I have lots of energy to play with dogs and chase a ball. I am food motivated which helps with training though it’s hard to stay in a sit position and wait for a treat. I’m working on that. I am crate trained and potty outside with few accidents indoors. I love exploring on my daily walks. If you think I’ll be a perfect fit, fill out an application at www.buffalounderdogs.com ##1840838##

Story
Name: Denzel Age: 10/10/21 (2yrs) Breed: Pit Bull terrier Weight: 55 lbs Gender: Male Hi there! My name is Denzel! I was named that because the ladies who took me in at a local shelter thought I was a very suave, cool man. I'm easy-going, well-mannered, and sweet. I was abandoned locally with no shelter, food, or water and I was brought to a shelter back in August. While I was there, my foster mom worked with me and my puppy dog eyes worked! She took me home! I am crate trained and house trained, but still have accidents here and there. I am getting very comfortable falling asleep on a couch or one of the soft dog beds around the house! I live with an 8 year old boy and I've figured out that kids are pretty fun! I also live with four other dogs and they've been teaching me how to be a dog. I love kisses (giving and getting them), cuddles, treats, toys, and walk like a gentleman on a leash! I know how to sit very well, am learning some other basic commands, and come running when my name is called because it probably means food or something fun! If you are interested in Denzel, please apply at https://www.716paws.org/adopt or message the rescue on Facebook, if you're already approved. ##1849316##
