Story
Meet Jax, a sweet, mild-mannered soul who is ready to be your loyal shadow. This "fantastic boy" has spent his life being overlooked, but once you earn his trust, you have a best friend for life.Jax is a total pro at foster life! He currently lives happily with other dogs and a small child. While he's an instant fan of women, he just needs a brief moment to warm up to men before he's ready for belly rubs and bonding.Jax's foster parents introduced him to the joy of fetch, and now he can't get enough! He's also a bit of a collector-when he first arrived from the shelter, he would sleep tucked in with his toys to make sure they stayed safe.After being left at a shelter fence and waiting six long months for a break, Jax is finally seeing how good life can be. Because he's a "low-drama," medium-sized guy, people often walk right past him. We've promised him that won't happen anymore.Jax doesn't need a flashy story to be a great dog; he just needs a family to notice his quiet, loving heart.

Story
Phantom first came into the shelter years ago as a stray. He was eventually adopted, but somewhere along the way, he ended up discarded again. Animal control received a call about a dog left sitting outside in a kennel. That dog was Phantom. He weighed only 12 pounds. Every rib, every hip bone, every vertebra visible beneath his skin. Starved. Weak. Forgotten. Yet somehow, despite everything humans had done to him, Phantom still loved people. Even on the brink of death, his tail still wiggled. Today, Phantom is thriving and ready to find the family he always deserved. He is a snack-sized little guy who fits perfectly in your lap and quickly makes himself at home wherever he goes. He LOVES food, loves cuddles, and gets the wiggliest butt when he's getting attention or kisses. His favorite thing in the world is simply being near his people. Phantom does well in a home environment, enjoys lounging nearby, and is happiest soaking up love and snacks like he's making up for lost time Spayed/neutered: yes Good with adults: yes Good with kids: yes Good with other dogs: yes Good with cats: TBD House trained: yes Crate trained: yes, but will bark when hungry/go out to potty Energy level: medium Can be handled/touched: yes Barker: occasionally Flight risk: no; however, all dogs should be considered flight risks in new environments Food aggressive: no Walks on leash: yes Leash reactive to people or dogs: no Rides well in car: yes Destructive: no Needs a home with a yard: no, but does enjoy one! Needs a home with another dog: no Can live in an apartment: yes, if he isn't left alone all day every day, needs to be involved in his families lives Please visit our website niagaradogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Story
Meet Rags – small in size, but big in personality! This spirited little guy was rescued from a high-kill shelter and is now on the lookout for an active family that can keep up with his energy and give him plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Rags is a loving and playful companion with his favorite people, and he absolutely thrives on affection and attention – he’ll even jump up for some extra love! Rags is an incredibly smart and eager learner, but he does require an experienced owner who can continue his training and help manage his resource guarding tendencies. Due to this, Rags would do best in an adult-only home where his family can work closely with our trainers to ensure a smooth transition into his forever home. While Rags generally gets along with dogs, his guarding behavior can make him unpredictable around other animals, so he would be happiest as the only pet in the household. This little guy is a big fan of long walks on sunny days and running around in the yard. He’s treat-motivated and loves learning new tricks with a clicker. If you’re an experienced dog owner who can offer Rags the structure and care he needs, you’ll be rewarded with an incredibly loyal and loving companion!
