Story
Enyo is a super sweet girl. She is well adjusted to everything. She loves the dog park and gets along with ALL dogs, the bigger the better. She plays with the cats that want her to and ignores my cat that doesn't. She loves children, toys, and cuddles!!! You will not find a sweeter girl out there. She has been to obedience training. She loves to run in the back yard and play, but she would rather be snuggled with you. At the dog park, she always comes when called and never gets out of sight. I need to rehome her because I work long hours. She also has a little cherry eye. Her vision on one side is affected, but she has had it her whole life and has adjusted well.

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 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!
