Story
DOG-FRIENDLYOtto came to us as a stray in Mattydale and weighs about 60 pounds. He loves toys and playing and is learning how to trade for toys so the fun can keep going. Otto also loves water, making him a proper house hippo as he bobs for tennis balls in a kiddie pool!

Story
Jax was picked up as a stray in Syracuse and weighs about 85 pounds. He’s an eager boy who gets excited for walks, treats, and getting to spend time with people. He does hold onto some patience though to wait for treats (sometimes) and is highly treat motivated. He already knows sit and is learning down. He walks easily but does pull a bit at the start and end of a walk to show off that he is a strong boy. Jax would likely do best as a dog for people who have owned dogs before and can work on him remembering his manners.

Story
NOT DOG-FRIENDLYNO CATSKIDS 12+Butterball was picked up as a stray in Fayetteville and weighs about 60 pounds. Butterball is a sweet, gentle, and well behaved boy. He has wonderful leash manners, is attentive (especially if you have treats), knows sit and shake, and of course he loves pets and face smushes. He’s got the best leg kicks when you scratch just the right spot, which is just about anywhere! Despite looking like he might be a bull in a China shop, he`s very mindful of his size and strength. He`s also a big lover of cucumbers and crunchy treats.

Story
Wendell came in as a stray picked up in Baldwinsville and weighs about 45 pounds. So far we’ve learned that Wendell loves treats, although he’s still mindful and gentle when taking them, and loves to play tug and hang out with people he’s familiar with. He still needs a little work on manners but is coming around to be a very sweet and respectful boy. DOG-FRIENDLY

******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Teeka, a 1 year 7 month old spayed female, Boxer mix, 42lbs. She is in a foster home in Houston, TX and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is lined up! The amazing Teeka is on the hunt for her forever home. She specializes in best friending with an emphasis on playing! She currently lives with several larger dogs and is learning to respect their boundaries. She LOVES to play with them, but does need some help realizing when her foster siblings are ready to stop. She has not met any cats, so we’re not sure how she’d react to a feline sibling. Her foster mom says she’s done well meeting new human friends and is learning not to jump on them. Because of this and her high energy levels, we do recommend a home with older dog savvy kids. This smartie is house and crate trained! She sleeps quietly in her crate and is kenneled whenever her foster family is out of the house. We don’t recommend leaving her out unsupervised as she may help herself to whatever she finds in the kitchen. Teeka’s love for food is next level and she will try to sneak a bite from you or the other dog’s bowls, but has shown no signs of resource guarding. She is still working on her leash manners, but is getting better every day! She gets a little too excited when she sees other dogs, but is learning to calm down and continue on her walk. This happy girl absolutely loves toys! She knows where the toy basket is and will get one so you can join in the fun. She’s a huge fan of fetch and tug of war! Teeka is learning the joys of relaxing too. She loves to lay on your legs and get some pets and give some kisses. She’s happy just to be near her humans. Teeka is a young pup with boundless energy that will thrive in a home with a yard, daily exercise, training and patience. She’s a goofy, happy, loving girl and with just one look into those pretty doe eyes, your heart will melt! ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt her?
