Story
My boyfriend has had Jaxon since he was a puppy, due to unfortunate health issues and working full time jobs we can no longer care for him. He’s a very sweet dog, and has separation anxiety and would love to spend every minute of every day with someone! He’s the friendliest, playful, and affectionate dog and we are hoping to find him a very loving home!

Story
Trooper is a big friendly love bug that just wants attention. He's an adult boy that loves to play catch with his tennis balls. He does well in a crate, and sleeps well at night. He's house trained and gets along well with other dogs. He needs an owner that is familiar with German Shepards, or at least, large breeds and would do well with someone who has a large fenced in yard, or access to a fenced in area that he could run in.

Story
Booker didn't have the best start in life, but we are determined to make the rest of it the best. Booker loves other dogs, but MUST be dogs his size or larger... no exceptions! He is kenneled trained and housebroken. He is still a little timid of men and kids. Older kids would be best. He will go up to new people, but disengages. Shows absolutely no aggression. He is still learning that he is loves and that he deserves attention. He would like a home on the quieter side. Someone that has patience. He is fantastic with his foster mom. He is being fostered on a farm and is great with most of the animals. He is still learning that sheep are ok and not to be chases. If you think you are the one to give this guy the life he so deserves, please submit an application. He is up to date on vaccines, neutered, microchipped, has been dewormed and flea treated. All current pets MUST be up to date on vaccines and spayed/neutered unless there is a medical reason. www.pawzandpurrz.org RR335 Please Note: We are making changes to our Foster to Adopt process. Limited resources to follow up on pending adoptions and delays in processing payments is adding to our financial restrictions. Going forward we will collect payment when the dog is transferred to the potential new owner and will be held for an agreed upon trial time. Exceptions or extended trial times will be considered on a case by case basis and will depend upon the need or situation.

Story
Introducing Sully -- Professional Goofball & Accidental Stunt Dog!Sully is an almost two-year-old (as of January 2/26) shepherd mix who wakes up every day choosing chaos...the lovable kind. He is a certified doofy dude who will run full speed, trip over his own feet, and then look at you like, "Yeah, I meant to do that."This guy loves attention and will happily soak it all up. He can be selective with other dogs in the home, so he'd do best with thoughtful introductions or being your one-and-only comedy act.Now let's talk about leash skills. Sully is still working through the concept that the leash is, in fact, attached to a human and not an optional suggestion. The shenanigans while he figures this out are exactly as hilarious as you're imagining. The good news? He is improving slowly but surely. Off leash in a fenced-in yard, though, he is an absolute rockstar.Sully can be a bit barky or standoffish with unfamiliar people, especially if their body language feels weird to him; but once he's comfortable, he is all heart.He is highly food motivated and genuinely loves learning. The attention span doesn't always clock in for a full shift, but he shows up, gives it is best effort, and deserves credit for trying.In a nutshell Sully:--Is goofy, clumsy, and proud of it;--Does great off leash in a fenced yard;--Is dog selective--Is a food motivated scholar-in-training;--Is young (almost 2 yo as of January 2026)--Comes with built-laughs!If you're looking for a dog who will keep you smiling, challenge your leash-handling skills, and love you with his whole goofy heart, Sully is your guy. You can begin the adoption process for him right now by filling out an application on our website, www.humanecny.org; or email info@humanecny.org; or call us at (315) 457-8762.Contact HumaneCNY if interested in this animal.
