Demi - apx 3-4 years apx 7.5 pounds, as you can see her from her older pics, she has gained weight and is looking very healthy. Demi the cat dog. Demi was rescued from very very bad hoarding situation where she was confiscated for cruelty , with her babies, in a cement outdoor shelter , all her babies died within the first 24 hours. Demi is a sad case but her fosters have never given up on her. We have had Demi since February. She still does not “need “ or ask for human attention but likes to follow you around, be a part of the family, she will sit next to you and she LoVeS her foster fursiblings. She will not walk on leash and harness still and needs a fenced yard but does have good potty manners, taking in mind her Foster is retired and home all day so she gets to go in and out several times a day. She is very quiet and demure but has a silly side. She still will not let her fosters pick her up and will run from them, you have to kind of corner her to pick her up and she freezes. but she never ever bites and is never aggressive. Demi was basically feral when we got her in and her strides are slow going but non the less, she is indeed making them. We are hoping to find her the perfect home that will just let Demi be Demi and come around in her own time.

Transport available to Buffalo NY and Ontario Canada for an additional fee. Our lil Ponzu. Apx 1.5 year old and 13.5 pounds, tall and slender. He has a quiet, sweet soul. Ponzu was rescued from the streets of San Antonio. He was so thin and scared, timid, but asking a human for help. A kind women brought him in her yard and kept him safe for a couple days while she reached out to rescues to take him, we agreed to take Pomzu in. He is not feral, not a mean bone in his body, but he is a nervous boy. We are assuming some people and other animals were not very nice to baby Ponzu. He has probably been a stray most of his life. He is such a loving boy, he wants so so badly to be loved. It takes him very little time to fall in love with his people. He will say hi to anyone as long as you are gentle and use some baby talk and encouragement, doting on him and helping him gain his confidence. He likes other dogs but is very scared of dogs he does not know. You have to introduce new dogs slowly and gently. He needs other dogs and people that will be friendly to him, lots of positive reinforcement. He will gain his confidence over time. He is a special boy , super cute with a little pugish face , under bite, big soulful eyes, and a funny cowlick on his head. You will love him, and he will adore you in return.

Transport available to Buffalo NY and Ontario Canada for an additional fee. Give Chance a Chance. Chance is apx 2-3 years young and 8.2 pounds. He is a sweet and gentle boy, a little skittish and timid at first but that does not last long and he is in your lap giving all the loves and hugs. He never bites and is never aggressive and he will let you pick him up but the 1st day or two he will take some sweet talking and baby talk, coaxing to get him yo come to you, he growls a lot under his breath like talking, this is of course standoffish to people but he is not being aggressive, it is almost like he is nervous so he growls instead of cries, he is honestly a giant baby and all talk with no action. He is good with dogs but can be nippy with them if he feels threatened or cornered, he is a chi terrier mix and very handsome. Chance has a bad left eye, this could have been a deformity /birth defect or an old injury that has healed over. His eye does not bother him but waters sometimes and just needs a little wipey once in a while. Chance has probably been living on the streets most of his life. He was absolutely disgusting when we got him, covered in dirt, 3 baths later he was a clean and happy boy. He still has those unsure street trauma moments but he is learning very quickly the rescue and the people here caring for him are pretty awesome. He is really happy now, dances and does fun little spins and jazz hands, he loves me giving him hugs and he gives hugs back. He a good boy. He just needs a chance.

Great with cats, kids and other dogs. Holiday would love a home for the new year! This is mama in last photo.

Transport available to Buffalo NY and Ontario Canada for an additional fee. Moose to foster or experienced adopter This is approximately 7 to 9 years old and weighs 10 1/2 pounds. He was rescued from a hoarding situation and has lived his entire life outdoors. He is missing most of his teeth, but otherwise healthy. He is extremely quiet, calm and gentle. Moose is still a little afraid of new people, but he does not bite. He will just try to run away from you. He wants so badly to be loved and to love someone else. He just does not know how yet but I know given a little time he will get there. It takes some coaxing to to pick him up. If you were a stranger, he will run from you just out of being cautious and a tad fearful . He is not a completely feral dog, and he has never been aggressive. He does not bite, he does not have a mean bone in his body, he does great with cats and dogs and well mannered older children. We have to baby talk him and kind of corner him to pick him up, but once you have him and you pet him and dote all over him, he settles in very quickly and enjoys the pets and kisses. He just needs an experienced adopter or foster to help to teach him the ways of being a loved family member. Inside, and with people who adore him. He is truly such a sweet soul and although , just like most if us, he is a little broken and has some emotional scars, he is worthy of a new beginning and he is worthy of love.

Transport available to Buffalo NY and Ontario Canada for an additional fee. Litle Miss Tovi. She has taken a place in all of our hearts. Apx 11 years old and apx 9 pounds , she spent her entire life living outdoors. It is a blessing she is heart worm negative. Tovi has had countless babies over her years. She came to us with broken teeth and a broken soul. She had a dental and has a few teeth left. Her soul may take a little time, but she is getting there. Tovi is shy at first but comes out of her shell in a day or two. She is nervous on leash and harness but will walk on one. I think when she is used to her people and her surroundings, she will become a bit more confident with this. She will get attached to her people very quickly. Tovi does not have a mean bone in her body. She is not aggressive at all. She is great with cats and dogs and well mannered children. We have never heard her bark yet, she is very quiet. Loves her blankets and snacks, she is a foodie. Tove Didn’t run away from us the first couple days and was not eager to be picked up and held by strangers. She would try to hide in the corner like we couldn’t see her, but with some baby talk she does lay down or kind of cower down to allow you to pick her up. She is a loving and kind, gentle, sweet soul that deserves her happily ever after, she has been waiting over a decade for it. Please consider giving Tovi her happily ever after.
