Story
EbonyBreed: Lab mixDOB: 7/30/25Weight: 16 lbsSex: FemaleSpay date scheduled  Ebony is a sweet, playful pup that loves everyone  She loves to be wherever you are. Her favorite things are toys, treats and chew bones. She loves her chew bones!  Ebony is good with other dogs and children.  She is in her teething stage so older children who understand her puppy play would be a better fit. We are not sure about cats since her foster Mom doesn't have any cats but she would probably want to play with them. Ebony loves to play with you or by herself. She loves to zoomie around with a toy in her mouth.Ebony is learning to potty outside. She is doing well when kept on a schedule.  She is still a young puppy and gets rewarded with a treat when she potties outside.  Ebony already knows the sit command and will  learn more commands fast as long as treats are involved. Ebby also loves to chase leaves in the wind . She is a mischievous pup who is learning what "No" means. She will look up at you with her beautiful eyes and floppy ears wondering why she can not have what she wants.    Ebony sleeps in her crate all night long and keeps it clean. If she cries during the night or early morning hours it means she needs to go outside to potty. After she will go back in her crate and sleep until morning.  She also stays in her crate when foster mom needs to go somewhere. Her crate is always clean when foster Mom returns. Her foster Mom loves her beautiful black face with her brown eyebrows, chest and legs. Also the way she snuggles on the coach and falls asleep next to her. Ebony will make someone a very loving companion. ‍ If you are interested in Ebony, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved. ##2555845##

After being left behind by his family, he never lost his sweet spirit or his love for people and other animals. This cuddly boy just wants to be near you - soaking up love, giving kisses, and reminding you what loyalty looks like. Cooper's past may be sad, but his future is bright. He's ready to spend his golden years with someone who sees how special he is - someone meant just for him. He's been pretty good with my cat but he still gets a bit obsessed. He was good with dogs at the park but hasn't had much other practice. Kids next door to me he loves! You can definitely tell he had kids in the old home.

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.

Story
Vander Male (neuter scheduled)Catahoula Mix18 PoundsEst DOB 10/26/2025 Dog Friendly Cat FriendlyHouse trainingCrate training   Vander arrived in WNY on February 4th. After a long trip with his siblings he bunked up in his foster home with two of his siblings, three other dogs around his size, and two kitty cats. He is a very social boy and gets along great with all of them. He is a goofy boy that can be shy at first. He will look to you for guidance. He sleeps in a crate during the night. He needs a little bit of encouragement or some yummy snacks to go in on his own and settles in to sleep throughout the night. He is getting used to spending a full eight hour day in the crate. He takes some time to settle in when the house is so quiet but will sleep for most of the day until someone is back home. He keeps the crate dry and clean at night and during the day. Only a couple accidents inside the house at first. He needs an encouraging nudge out of the door for potty breaks but once he is out there he will play with his siblings and maybe sometimes forgets to go potty. Once a routine is established and there are less distractions, this should be the last of his accidents. He is a little bit talkative when he is trying to get his way and he does try to help himself to just about anything in his reach.  Vander loves humans. We might even call him a velcro dog. Invested in whatever you are doing, he will follow you wherever you go. He is looking for someone that will be committed to basic training ‍ and maybe even some extra activities so he can channel his inner Catahoula duties. ‍ He has not been around any children but he is a sweet dog that is as gentle as she can be with all of his puppy energy.   Quick facts about the Catahoula breed Known for their intelligence and independence - needs training and structure High energy working breed - needs regular daily exercise and enrichment Overall strong personality - needs early socialization and exposure   We highly suggest researching the Catahoula breed if you do not already have experience! Breed research ensures you to have the most fun with your new addition! If you are interested in Vander, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved. ##2648908##

Story
JazzyFemale/spayedHound mix1.5 years old35 pounds Meet Jazzy! Her story starts off as one we hear in rescue all too often. Another southern, discarded, heart worm positive hound dog no one claimed. But an amazing rescuer in Alabama wasn’t going to let Jazzy be another statistic. So she rewrote the beginning of Jazzy’s quest to happily ever after. She nursed her back to health and then selflessly, sent her to Buffalo for her best chance at finding a furever home. Despite Jazzy’s tough start in life, she has a heart of gold . She is extremely loving and loyal. She loves being wherever you are, getting lots of pets! She is full of energy and absolutely loves to play! She was definitely meant to be a Buffalo gal as she really enjoys running through the snow!   Jazzy is  Crate trainedHouse broken Dog friendly Cat friendly with confident, dog savvy cats Jazzy is working on leash manners & some other basic obedience. She already knows how to sit. She’s highly food motivated and eager to please. This will make continued training even easier. Her foster’s favorite things about her are how loving she is and her big ol’ floppy, soft ears. If you are interested in Jazzy, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved. ##2607445##
