Story

MINA aka SARA is almost 9 months old and a sweet, friendly pup who loves people. Mina is a smart, curious girl who’s full of puppy energy. She enjoys training and is very food motivated. After a day of running in the yard and playing with her toys, she loves a good snuggle. She doesn’t mind the crate during the day but wants to be near her people at night. Mina is fearful reactive to many dogs. She currently will bark intensely but does not charge the other dog. She can be corrected by a tug on leash and pulling away. This behavior could be significantly improved with training. Currently she will need to be an only dog. 🐾 Mina walks well on leash and is a favorite of the volunteers. Knows sit and some other commands and takes treats gently. She loves car rides and settles down quickly while driving. She is calm and not much of a jumper for a very young pup. 🐾 She likes cats…maybe a bit too much for some cats?! She would probably do fine with a dog-savvy cat who’s used to dogs, or a cat who knows how to keep its distance. She'd would also do best in a home without young kids because previous owner reported that she can resource guard food. (dob 4/14/25) 👉 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 3 hours IS allowed, except that young puppies need to be old enough to have gotten their rabies vaccination to cross the border - usually around 16 weeks)

Story

Meet WAFFLES, (aka Waffy-WooWoo by her foster) a sweet and loving older Shepherd mix who has captured the hearts of everyone she meets. Waffles is a well-behaved pup who is crate and house trained, and knows her commands. She loves to observe the world from the comfort of her dog bed. Waffles is a smart girl who would love a home where she can connect and bond with her human. She is a loyal and loving pup who will always be by your side. Waffles, while good with people and most other dogs while at home, she is what's called leash-reactive, which means she does NOT do well with people, animals, cars, you name it - while out and about and on walks around the neighborhood. Anything fast-moving. (She does love car rides, though!) For this reason, she needs a fenced in yard and would enjoy being more of a homebody where she won't get anxious while on a leash. (the fenced in yard just to block out the outside world more than contain her, because believe it our not, Waffles can jump a 7' fenced! So even with the fence, she'll need to be put out on a tie-out) Being reactive to fast, unpredictable things, younger kids would be a no for her too, just to be safe. (Waffles comes with a sponsored adoption fee of only $100 for the right adopter!) 🤪Waffles is a little shy when meeting new people or dogs, so her new family will need to be patient with her as she adjusts. However, once she gets to know you, her tail never stops wagging and she is all about belly rubs and playtime. Waffles is an active girl who loves to run and play outside, but also enjoys sunbathing and stretching out on a grassy area after her daily workout. She seems good with other relatively calm dogs. She's protective of her home and is best crated as guests are arriving to make a smoother transition - we can talk to you more about that as it's easily manageable. 👉 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).

Gigi

German Shepherd Dog Giant Schnauzer

Rochester, NY

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Introducing GIGI, the one-of-a-kind canine companion with a heart full of love! With her striking appearance that hints at a captivating mix of Schnauzer, German Shepherd, or maybe even a Belgian Lakenois, Gigi is truly a beauty to behold. Once she gets to know you, she forms an unbreakable bond and becomes your most loyal and devoted companion. Ideal placement for GiGi is in a low-traffic home - No apartments or townhomes with minimal company in and out. She can become protective and territorial over her people and space. However, there's nothing quite like the feeling of Gigi's unwavering affection and devotion, as she showers her chosen humans with endless love and adoration. From cuddle sessions on the couch to joyous playtimes in the backyard, Gigi will be your steadfast partner when you're home. When new people DO come over, she can be crated initially and introductions done in a controlled way which we can talk to you about and works well. But she's a wonderful dog for someone who is more of a homebody and wants to enjoy their dog at home and not out and about. GiGi would do well with a consistent routine with her people. 🤪 Gigi needs a home as an ONLY DOG and NO KIDS (and no cats or other animals). With Gigi by your side, you'll never have a dull moment, as she delights in discovering new tricks and challenges that engage her inquisitive mind. She's fully vetted and in the 60-70 lbs range. 👉 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).

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!
