Story
KAPLAN is a handsome frenchie mix who is fully vetted and is friendly and does excellent with other dogs. He's active, playful, and good with people, as well, including kids - super well-mannered. He's estimated 5-6 years old and just under 50 lbs. Cats seem to be a no for him - a little TOO interested (potentially same for very small, "cat-like" dogs - might not be a good match, either). Kaplan loves walks and is good on the leash after about 5 seconds of pulling; he's easily redirected. He loves to cuddle, get belly rubs, and give high-fives and is a great all-around dog who should have been adopted long ago as he's about perfect as long as you don't have cats!
🤪He has a prostate issue which is currently managed with meds and a “belly band”. But he’s worth any little extra work this requires!
👉 Adoption fee INCLUDES: all vetting to age (including deworming, flea & tick etc), spay/neuter and microchip (if the dog is under 6 months, alter and chip will occur after they're 6 months, covered in full at our clinic or reimbursed partially at a vet of your choosing). If the dog is older than 6 months and not yet altered, we will schedule ASAP (normally within 30 days) at our clinic . We also provide as an incentive a $60 rebate for completion of positive-based training classes. Adoption also includes lifetime support of the rescue.

✍ APPLICATION PROCESSING: We do most application processing virtually and dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS. We are not a shelter and are completely volunteer foster-based, so there is no central place to come see all of the dogs available.
📌 IMPORTANT NOTES: ** Housetraining with rescues is sometimes a work in progress and even if a dog is 100% in a foster's home, it should be expected there will be an adjustment period as a dog adapts to a new environment. This is even more true if the dog has not by chance had their altering appointment at time of adoption. ** Also, we highly recommend some form of 2-week shutdown and decompression for dogs going to a new home for best results. --> Lastly, breed guesses in rescue are just that (GUESSES!!) 99.9% of the time. We do not do DNA testing and our breed guesses are based on appearance and sometimes other traits, but we know the dog breed guessing game is a fool's errand even for those with LOTS of experience.
🗺ADOPTION AREA: Several hour radius of Rochester, NY (Canada within 3hrs IS allowed), except the young puppies need to be old enough to have gotten their rabies vaccination in order to cross the border- usually around 16 weeks).
