Story
Hello, my name is Rudy, a sun loving, toy destroying cuddler. My family is growing with little humans, that I just cant seem to get comfortable with. I would do best to be in an adult home with infrequent visits from little ones. I am very smart and my parents have put a lot of time into my training. I have real life training skills such as "place", "lets go", "leave it", recall and when my little doorbell rings I know to go to my crate. I have been e-collared trained and know how to walk on a leash. My favorite activities include playing tug-o-war, running around outside, playing fetch, and napping on my dog bed or couch. I love structure and stability. When you are gone I love to be in my crate! If you end up being the right fit for me, my family will supply all the tools I currently use, so that we are best set up for success. I really am the perfect boy, but need the controlled energy that adults provide.

Story
DominickWhite pitbull *Deaf* Neutered male55lbs6 years old This gentle soul has been through a lot in 6 years despite all the uncertainty he had in life, he is the biggest love bug , just an oversized lap dog.  He gets along with dogs of all sizes. No cats or small creatures as he will chase them. He loves kids, but really any humans willing to love on him. He is housetrained and he will whine to signal he needs to go outside. He does not like the crate. He prefers to sleep on his doggy bed at night or ... In your bed if you'll allow it! On top of the blankets, under the blankets, whatever works for you is fine with him .  Dominick is profoundly deaf and he has been introduced to both informal gestures and ASL since being in his foster family. He is a very smart boy! He looks intently at the signs and has already learned a few. He absolutely loves the ASL sign for clapping that signifies he is a good boy! His adoptive family needs to commit to sign as it is the only way for him to learn his basic command and to continue to be the gentleman that he is. He is a powerful breed that needs a strong owner with clear boundaries: he looks bummed when told "no" in ASL which means he understands perfectly .  He will do best with a fenced yard as it allows him to safely roam around while he and his adoptive family learn the tools to effectively communicate. If you are interested in Dominick, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved. ##1144363##

Story
Dearest Gentle Reader, It has come to this author’s attention that a most enchanting young lady, Miss Hyacinth, seeks a forever family worthy of her considerable charms.  At just 11 months old, Hyacinth is: Crate & potty trained Dog friendly A snuggle enthusiast Clever (already knows “sit” and is eager to learn more!) With her natural prey drive, she requests no cats or small pets at her future estate. Hyacinth is still perfecting her leash skills and would be delighted by a home with a fenced in yard where she might stretch her legs with the freedom befitting a young lady of energy and spirit.  Though once betrothed to a family who could not see past the trials of her decompression period, Hyacinth has borne her return with grace. What she requires now is not just any suitor, but one who is patient, steadfast, and prepared to invest the time and devotion needed for her to blossom into her best self. Should you be fortunate enough to offer Miss Hyacinth the home she so richly deserves, you will find yourself in possession of a most loyal and loving companion.  Apply for this season’s diamond at www.buffalounderdogs.com/adopt ##2451844##

Story
Hi everyone I’m Tyrone, a 1.5 year old pit bull terrier mix who weighs around 45 pounds. I am the happiest, most playful pup you will ever meet who loves everyone - dogs and humans alike. I have plenty of energy and love to play with toys and my foster dog siblings.  I would thrive in a home with a fenced in yard or humans that love to go on walks and adventures. Oh, and did I mention? I’m a big fan of car rides and meeting new friends! I adore being with my humans and will happily follow you around, but I’m also crate trained! Even though I’ll give you my best puppy-dog eyes in hopes of curling up in bed with you, I’m perfectly content snoozing in my crate through the night or during the workday without issue. I’m also fully potty trained, so I know exactly where to do my business! If you’re looking for a happy, loving, goofy pup, apply to meet me at www.buffalounderdogs.com/adopt ##2493055##

Story
Hey there My name is Bertie  but my friends call me Mr B. I am a young (1yr old) Pit bull mix & weigh just over 50lbs. I’m crate / house trained, walk well on a leash & love being close to my humans. I do need to be close to my human at all times but sleep all night in my crate without needing to go out. My foster dad calls me his shadow.  I live with him & have a cat sibling but she needs her own space as I’m too playful & wary of her   I like meeting new people but it takes me a minute to warm up. I like car rides & am working on not hugging everyone I meet. I love treats & am very food motivated! Which makes training easy   I am ready for a family of my own. Could that be with you? Apply to meet me at www.buffalounderdogs.com/adopt  Ps. I’m best suited to a quieter house with no young children, please! ##2353833##

Story
Name: KincaidBreed: Pitt MixAge: 10/22/23 (2 years old)Sex: Male neuteredLocation: BuffaloWeight: 40lbsKincaid’s Story: A Tale of Hope and HeartOnce upon a time, there was a dog named Kincaid — though he didn’t always have that name. Before he was “Kincaid,” he was just another soul wandering the streets, scared and alone. He didn’t understand why he’d been left behind, why the people he loved were gone, or how he was supposed to survive on his own.The days were long, the nights were cold, and the world didn’t seem to have a place for him. He searched for food, for kindness, for someone to look past his tough exterior and see his gentle heart. But everywhere he went, people turned away. They saw a pit bull — and they saw “scary.” They didn’t see the loving, loyal boy behind those big, soulful eyes.Still, Kincaid never gave up. Like the Buffalo Bills, he believed that even when things looked bleak, there was always a chance to turn it around.One day, a kind man found him wandering and brought him to the shelter. Kincaid was relieved to finally be safe — but soon, he overheard the words that crushed his spirit: “No one wants him.” Days turned into weeks and nobody came for him.Then, one heartbreaking day, he heard the shelter staff whisper, “It’s time… no one’s interested. He’s taking up space.” Kincaid lowered his head, his hope flickering — until a woman stepped forward.She looked at him, really looked at him, and said, “I believe in you. You deserve a chance.” She named him Kincaid, after Dalton Kincaid of the Buffalo Bills — a player who always steps up when times get tough, who proves that determination and heart can change everything.And just like that, Kincaid’s story took its turn.Today, Kincaid is waiting for his forever home — one filled with warmth, laughter, and love. He’s a lover of people, life, and ear scratches. He’ll greet you with a wagging tail, a grateful heart, and the spirit of a team that never quits.Kincaid is available for adoption now, ready to bring joy, hope, and unconditional love into your life. Because just like his namesake, when life gets tough, Kincaid steps up — and he’ll always be your loyal teammate. Kincaid is currently working on potty training, knows sit and walks well on a leash.If you are interested in Kincaid please apply at https://www.716paws.org/adopt or message the rescue on Facebook, if you're already approved.  ##2587304##
