Story
Meet Dotti! She is a 9-year-old Pug/Boxer/Bully mix looking for her perfect retirement home. Dotti is a deeply affectionate, maternal "alpha female" who is fiercely protective of her humans and her best friend. Her absolute favorite thing in the world is burrowing deep under a pile of cozy blankets for a long, peaceful snooze. She loves going for walks, meeting new people, and has excellent off-leash recall in quiet, open areas. MUST be adopted with her bonded brother, Kendrick! As a package deal, Dotti is incredibly attached to Kendrick, a sweet 10-year-old Miniature Poodle who is a total indoor homebody. Because they are seniors, they need a calm, predictable environment. They require a kid-free home with a patient owner who is around often to give them the quality time they deserve.Please note they have occasional senior accidents inside if outdoor access isn't quick, and Dotti requires a watchful eye during potty breaks as she has coprophagia (eating poop).

Story
11 month old Fifi was an owner surrender, they couldn't afford to vet her. She is now UTD on shots, spayed, microchipped. She's crate & house trained. She nees work on a leash, pulls & bolts towards cars. So a non-high traffic area, no small kids or elderly, she jumps & cirlcles under foot. Would greatly benefit from training class to bond & build confidence. Nervous meeting new people & dogs. Untested with cats but would imagine she would give chase. Contact to set up a meet & greet.

Story
Zeus is a 2-year-old Chihuahua mix about 14 pounds. Despite being named after the king of the Greek gods, Zeus isn't exactly interested in ruling the world. He's much more interested in finding a comfortable lap and someone willing to cuddle with him.  Zeus had a family in Puerto Rico, but unfortunately, when they moved to the mainland United States, he was left behind. We're sure he doesn't understand why his people disappeared, but he's been such a sweet little guy through it all. He loves other dogs and plays so nicely with them. He's gentle, friendly and seems perfectly happy just being part of the group. No need to be the boss or the center of attention. But cuddling is definitely his specialty! Zeus loves being close to his people, and we have a feeling he'd be perfectly content spending an entire evening curled up beside someone on the couch. He's only 2 years old, so he's still a young fellow with plenty of life ahead of him. He's got a lovely balance of enjoying his doggie friends and being a little snuggle bug. Zeus already knows what it's like to have a family, and we'd really love to give him that again. This time, one that won't leave him behind.  Please note: All dogs are rescues so we often do not know their actual breeds but use an educated guess to tell you what they most look like. Our adoption fee is $400 and unless otherwise stated all dogs and puppies have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, 4DX tested (if age appropriate), put on heartworm/flea/tick prevention, age appropriately vaccinated, dewormed, vet checked and flown from Puerto Rico. For more information on adopting, please email madrescueofwny@aol.com and fill out our online application at: https://form.jotform.us/70927213338153October 15, 2026, 4:10 pm

Story
ROXY gets all the praise from her new foster. They say besides her beautiful looks, she's got a winning personality and loves others dogs, and to play as well as a good snuggle. She's a bigger girl at around 60 lbs and estimated young at a year old and she's fully vetted. (dob ~10/15/24) Roxy loves Kongs and will keep herself occupied with one for a long long time. Enjoys playing tugawar with her foster brother and looooves playing keep away with him too! They have the most fun playing when they get to run outside. Sticks are a favorite choice, too. Her foster reports she doesn't use a crate with her because she's never had a single issue with her when she's left alone, but she's fully housebroken and the only destruction she brings is with stuffies. But she really enjoys doing it! She's a gentle sweet "giant" (it's all relative) who is the bestest girl! She's great with other dogs AND cats. 👉 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
Hey there! I'm a 1-year-old French and English Bulldog mix, and I'm one handsome pup with my striking white and blond bicolor coat 🐾. I'm already neutered, crate trained, and ready to roll — I get along wonderfully with kids and other dogs, so I'll fit right into an active household. Fair warning: I've got energy for days and a mischievous streak, so I'll need an owner who's ready for daily adventures and playtime to keep this smart guy happy 🏃‍♂️. Bulldogs have their own special needs and quirks, so I'd do best with someone who knows the breed inside and out. Let's meet up and see if we're a match! 💪 cause I am ready for my furevr after Local adoption fee is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)
