Story
🐾 OTTO is a gorgeous owner surrender who we were able to get out of a not-great situation where he wasn't being treated well by someone who visited often. We just got him fully vetted and our vet estimated him 3-4 years old - he’s just 17 lbs. He's some sort of adorable Pom mix and although he's definitely hand-shy at first, he has blossomed with some time and patience at his foster's the last month or two. We’ve found he is not great with other dogs and definitely not good with cats. He's housetrained and so far just a very good boy! He'll need someone with some patience at first, and a quieter home without kids, but he seems like he'll make someone a great companion dog! 👉 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 and be sure to choose their name from the dropdown to expedite your application!! ✍ 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 Quinnie! 💕 At 14 years young and just 15 pounds, Quinnie is a precious little senior girl who has perfected the art of enjoying the simple things in life. 🥰 She is fully housebroken, fully crate-trained, non-destructive, and wonderfully relaxed around food, toys, and bones. She’s happy to share everything with her people! Quinnie enjoys short little walks around the yard to do her business, and then she heads back to the deck to find her favorite sunny spot for a nice afternoon snooze. ☀️🐾 She’s a little chubby and, at her age, doesn’t need long walks—just enough to keep her moving and enjoying the day. She is wonderful with children and was absolutely perfect with her foster’s grandchildren, ages 11, 5, and 10 months. Her 5-year-old granddaughter could even pick her up and snuggle with her on the couch. 💗 Quinnie enjoys some cuddles, but she’s also an independent little lady who will eventually say, “Okay, that’s enough loving for now!” and hop down to spend some time with her people in her own way. 😊 Quinnie is also perfect with guests. She may give a little bark when someone arrives, but that’s about it. She would be happy in either a house or an apartment, although she definitely loves having a fenced yard to leisurely explore. 🏡 Quinnie does great with other dogs, cats are unknown. She does bark at dogs she sees on TV, though—which tells us her eyesight is still working just fine! 😂📺🐶 Quinnie would be a wonderful companion for a family or for someone looking for a sweet senior best friend. She doesn’t need a lot—just a cozy place to call home, a sunny spot to nap in, and people who will love her for all the years she has left to give. ❤️ This little senior sweetheart is ready for her forever home. Could Quinnie be your perfect little sunbathing, couch-snuggling companion? ☀️💕

Story
Walter may be a little shy and unsure at first, but give him some patience, love, and reassurance, and you’ll get to see his sweet personality blossom. Once he knows he’s safe, this little guy is happiest curled up beside his person, enjoying a cozy nap and simply being close to someone he loves. Walter is kennel trained and does well with other dogs, cats, and kids. He’s a gentle little guy who doesn’t ask for much—just a safe place to land and someone who will love him unconditionally. Just look at that sweet face… you can almost see him hoping that his person is out there. Walter deserves a family who will give him the time and love he needs to feel safe, and in return, he’ll give them his whole heart. Local adoption fee together is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee together is $700 (includes transport to your area)
