Story
FARLEY was adopted out late last year and just returned because his owner lost their housing and are unable to take him with them. He's a "big doofus" and loves people including kids, and enjoys other dogs, too. He's a shepherd mix and is a year and a half old and right around 60 lbs. He's fully vetted and ready for adoption! 6/24/25 He just had the bad luck of being adopted and returned AGAIN through no fault of his own - he loves all dogs but the resident dog there wasn't a fan of Farley. 🤪 One other thing to note about Farley if you have neighbors with dogs he might see through a fence - although he is great WITH other dogs, he is NOT great seeing other dogs on the other side of a fence. Face to face and playing - fine! Across a barrier, he goes crazy barking and looks like a different dog. 👉 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. 💜 Please click PURPLE BUTTON above to apply or go to www.secondhanddogrescue.com/apply ! ✍ 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).

Story
Raven is my name and kind of like a raven, I am a 'loner'... except for the puppies i had when I arrived at the rescue... I was saved by a trapper on the streets, they weren't even there to save ME that day, but they did!!! I am obviously a beautiful girl, big and solid as well as black and brindly. I am a loving girl, in my own way... i lived on the streets for who knows how long and I honestly am not a cuddly girl or even a sit by your feet dog, YET... I have all kinds of love to give, you can see in my eyes that I have always dreamed of someone with the patience to love me for who I am and who I can be!! I am great on a leash and do love walking around and exploring. I am good with other dogs and likely would do best with another dog who is calm and confident with his/her family. I am so so ready for you, I have the shepherd double coat so I will shed in your house, must have a great vacuum cleaner and tolerance of hair :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Foxy is a sweet beautiful little sweetie, about 40 lbs, who loves to play. Very dog-friendly. If your dog is looking for a friend, she's your girl! Foxy loves stuffy toys, playing tug-of-war with a rope, and playing fetch (although she's still learning to bring it back!) She's very intelligent and learns quickly. She is shy with new people, but if you're patient and give her treats you'll be all set. Foxy was found by one of our rescue volunteers in a trap! Her other dog friends were waiting with her and very concerned. The whole group was taken in by Friends Fur Life Rescue and they are getting training to be the best pups they can be. Foxy has been living in a foster home with large and small dogs, two school-age children, and a cat, and she's doing great! She hasn't quite made friends with the cat though yet lol. Foxy does well in the car, sleeps well in her crate at night, and knows to potty outside. She is still working on leash training, and she's coming out of her shell. Will you show her what a real family is like? We would love to speak with you! We can drive this pup to your area! If you like this cutie please send us an inquiry here and we'll give you a call and video chat with the pup! Here's the link: www.friendsfurliferescue.org/adoption-application Please copy/paste the above link into your browser ^ There is NO transport fee, or any extra fees. All is included in the adoption fee. YES we also adopt to CANADA! Thank you! We're looking forward to your inquiry!
