Nitro

Dalmatian

Williamsville, NY
Size

Details
Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Nitro, he’s a handsome almost 5 year old looking for his new home. He’s true to the Dalmatian breed, full of energy and needs his exercise and playtime. He’s a big softie and thinks he’s a lap dog, always looking for attention and affection. He’s is deaf in one ear but that doesn’t slow him down. Nitro can play a bit rough with other dogs so he may do best as the only pet or with a confident dog with proper instruction. I’m not sure how he is with younger children, so a home with older kids or adults may be the best fit. Nitro is being rehomed to ensure he gets the time and environment he deserves. I’m looking for a responsible home that understands the needs of an energetic breed. Someone with dog experience would be ideal to guide his energy in a positive way.

Story
Harley is an older pitbull terrier mix with a gentle, easy going personality. She’s a bit on the lazy side these days, but she still truly enjoys getting outside to explore, sniff around, and take in the world at her own pace. Harley would do best in a calm home where she can relax. She can be reactive, so she’ll need an experienced dog owner who understands how to manage and work with that behavior. Harley has so much love to give and would thrive with someone who can give her structure, understanding, and a stable environment.

Story
ArcticSpayed female65lbsHusky Mix4 years old Arctic is a white Husky mix with striking blue eyes and a whole lot of main-character energy. She’s confident, expressive, and knows she deserves the spotlight. She’s playful and loves being involved in whatever you’re doing. She knows her basic commands, walks well on leash, and lives for backyard zoomies. True to her husky roots, she’s talkative and full of personality. Arctic loves attention and sometimes thinks she’s a lap dog. When she’s not snuggling, she’s in her spot by the window keeping an eye on the neighborhood or playing with her foster brother. She can be a little overexcited when meeting new dogs at first, but with time, she’s very dog-friendly and enjoys having a canine companion. Cats are a no for her. Because of her energy levels, Arctic would do best in a home with kids 13+.  Arctic loves her toys and food so much that she’s sometimes reluctant to share. She’s learning her manners and thrives with consistent routines and clear boundaries. Arctic spends some time in the crate with the door open, but she does great being left out and doesn’t get into trouble. At night, she does a few security laps around the house and then settles in to sleep through the night on the floor or couch. Arctic is food-motivated, curious, affectionate, and deeply loyal. She’s finally experiencing a real Buffalo winter for the first time, and she can’t wait to spend the rest of it in her forever home. If you are interested in Arctic, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved. ##2524747##

Story
Bubba Neutered MaleDOB 11/21/25Hound Mix 33lbs If you’re looking for a little sunshine in this cold New York winter, Bubba is your perfect chance! This sweet boy recently moved up north from Alabama in search of his forever home and has brought so much joy with him in the process. A happy, silly, energetic pup, Bubba lights up a room and never fails to put a smile on every face he encounters. Bubbs is an excellent cuddle bug, playmate to humans and pups alike, and loves nothing more than to romp around with his fur foster siblings and then snuggle up with his foster humans & a good chew toy. While he is still a young puppy and is learning the ropes, he is doing a fantastic job with potty training, gives cues when he’s ready to go outside, and uses a puppy pad like a pro when it’s urgent. He loves to sleep in bed right in between his people but can also handle his crate overnight- although it’s not his favorite place to be, he’s getting more comfortable in it with time. He’s learning to walk on a leash like a champ, and working hard to learn that no matter how excited he is to go for a walk, it’s no rush and he doesn’t need to pull! From his soft floppy ears to his sweet big brown eyes to the tail that never stops wagging, Bubba is sure to bring endless happiness to his forever family. He’s up for any adventure, all the company, and wants nothing more than a family to match the love he has to give. He’s going to make the perfect addition to any loving, active family ready to take on a puppy and make some extra room in their hearts for this very special young man. If you are interested in Bubba, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved. ##2660583##

Story
Brave tripod seeks forever home (comfy couch required) Ragnar MaleAge: 7 years young  Weight: 54 lbs  Breed: Lab/Pit mix Meet Ragnar Ragnar hit a rough patch recently and needed a little help from his human friends. He’s been hanging with us while he recovers—but he’s officially ready to find his forever home and get back on his feet… all three of them. Ragnar is a recent amputee who has handled everything life threw at him like an absolute champ. He’s healed up beautifully and is now happy, healthy, and ready to enjoy the good life. Favorite activities:  • Napping on the couch (professional level)  • Snuggling with his people  • Exploring the outdoors (a fully fenced yard would be ideal so he can safely roam and sniff to his heart’s content)  • Food puzzle games  • Walks — and yes, he can pull, so don’t underestimate him   Favorite foods:  • Chicken  • Sweet potatoes  • Bully sticks  • Basically any treat offered with love   Not a fan of:  • Vegetables (hard pass)  • Thunderstorms  • His younger foster sibling’s nonsense (he prefers a more refined lifestyle)   Other notes:  Cats? Unknown, but likely not his thing  Dogs? Tolerant, but he appreciates respectful boundaries  Kids? 9 years and up, loves them! Younger than 9, unknown.  Ragnar is the perfect mix of resilient, loving, and just a little bit opinionated. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will happily share your couch and your snacks, he might just be your guy. If you are interested in Ragnar, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved. ##2660594##

Story
Name: Hugo Sex: male, neuter scheduled DOB 1/12/26Weight: 8 lbsBreed: black mouth cur mix Meet Hugo! This is by far the cuddliest puppy his foster family has ever met. He loves to be carried and snuggle on the sofa with his foster family. Hugo is a little guy with big personality and giant sweet heart to match.  Hugo is currently fostered with small dogs, kids and cats. He loves to play with his foster siblings and is gentle with the cats.  Hugo is working hard on potty training and making tons of progress. He is still learning to alert that he needs to go out but will potty outside every time. He’s doing very well when taken out regularly. Hugo is still a baby so he’s not thrilled in the crate by himself yet. He does cry at first but will settle in quickly for a nap. He will also sleep through the night with no accidents but needs to hurry outside when he wakes up! His foster family kids have been begging to keep him and who could blame them? Hugo is adorable, sweet and smart. He’s perfect, gorgeous and ready to find his forever. If you are interested in Hugo, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved. ##2708310##
