Story
🐾 SKYLAR is a brand new owner surrender who could no longer care for her after having a new baby in the home. She's just a year old and so far seems like a super sweet dog. High energy, housetrained, crate-trained, and loves chew toys and to play with other dogs. She does seem like a very "vocal" dog and not a big fan of the crate, so might do better in a non-apartment setting. She takes a min to warm up to new people, especially guys, but with some patience, she's already doing great with her foster's male friend. We'll report back soon with more first-hand info and pics from her foster. We've got her vetted to age now except her spay which is included at our vet in her adoption fee ASAP. 👉 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
Billee is a sweet, loving, gentle little girl...definitely a “lap dog”. She loves people, eager to please, learns quickly and her beautiful wagging tail shows her happiness. Billee was 2 on 2/11/26; chipped, weighs10 pounds. She loves to go on walks. Billee loves you to play tug/toss her toys and loves playing with my grandchildren/granddogs. She sleeps in her crate only at night; can be trusted alone when I'm out. She is not a "barker". She sits/shakes both paws/down.She loves to lay in the sunlight by the window watching the world go by. I had August surgery with complications/upcoming surgery; I cannot continue giving her the care and time she needs. I want her to find a forever home (within 25 miles of Rochester NY) with a fenced yard (she can run so fast but only as far as my long leash will allow...she has to be on a leash at all times in my 55+ community) with a family who can love her, play with her and be committed to her. I realize I have to give her up for her sake…and mine.

Story
Meet Seolgi | Apply Here | Videos Meet Seolgi, a 6 years young Maltese weighing a whopping 9lbs. Our team rescued him during the wildfires in Andong - whomever initially had Seolgi had given him to family in the countryside. With this, he was left outside on a short chain to live out his life. This cuddle king is everything you could ever hope and dream of. His favorite activities, in order, are snuggling with his foster mom, being wrapped up in as many blankets as you have, and exploring the neighborhood. Seolgi is proving to be cool, calm, and collected and gaining confidence everyday. His most recent triumph was tackling stairs all on his own!Seolgi is seeking someone who equally enjoys the finer things in life and keeping it lowkey. He’s more than happy to be included, so long as it’s followed up with a fabulous nap. His crate training and house training is going well, and though he hasn’t shown much interest, he’s getting along with his foster siblings (a pup and cat)!Don’t miss your chance to snatch up this gem of a man. Seolgi’s date book is open for pre-approved adopters and he’d love to meet you over a nice treat. Single ingredient preferred!    You don’t have to wait for an adoption event. In-person meet-and-greets are available in the NYC area, with virtual meet-and-greets available for adopters outside NYC.   Meet Us in Person Petco Turtle Bay - 991 2nd Ave, New York, NY  Adoption Hours: 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM  Saturday, March 7th   Learn more about our adoption process: www.koreank9rescue.org/adoption-procedures www.koreank9rescue.org/adoption-faq   Korean K9 Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit saving dogs from the Korean dog meat trade and overcrowded shelters.

Story
Birthdate: 8/19/2020Breed: One of a kindWeight:   18 lbsMeet Chase & Sky – The Perfect Pair Chase and Sky are sweet, adorable siblings who share a special bond and are looking for a forever home together. These cutie pups balance each other beautifully and truly thrive as a team!Chase is the confident leader of the duo. He’s curious, brave, and the first to explore new places or greet new people. His adventurous spirit helps pave the way for his sister and shows her that the world isn’t so scary. Sky is a little more reserved at first, taking her time to feel safe and comfortable. Once she warms up, she’ll come to you at her own pace with the sweetest, most gentle affection. With Chase by her side, her confidence blossoms!Together, they walk wonderfully on leash and love exploring as a pair. After their adventures, they’re happiest snuggled up close, soaking up cuddles and giving plenty of love in return. Chase and Sky are deeply bonded and must find a home together — their connection is truly heart-melting. If you’re looking for double the love, double the cuddles, and a built-in best friend duo, these two are ready to fill your home with joy! I'm bonded with my best friend Sky! We must go home together! The Rescue is open 7 days a week for you to come and meet our pets! Walk-ins are welcome! In order to interact with them, you’ll need a simple questionnaire filled out. You can fill this out at the Rescue or before you come in at: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/36924/generic If you have any questions, please email us at adoptions@pawscrossedny.org for more information. Please understand that we cannot hold pets for any reason. All adoptions are done on a first come, first adopt basis for pre-approved applicants. The Shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.February 26, 2026, 12:31 am
