Story
I can be met on 1/24/2026 at Tractor Supply 1253 Route 311, Patterson, NY 12563 from 11am to 1pm. Meet the "Chewbacca Crew"—six tiny, velvet-covered nuggets who are currently auditioning for the role of your new best friend! These aren't just puppies; they’re a chaotic mix of Pittie sweetness and Star Wars sound effects. If you’re looking for a stoic guard dog, keep walking. But if you want a tiny shadow that chirps like a forest moon inhabitant, you’ve hit the jackpot. The Stats 🐾 • Breed: Pit Bull Mix (50% Velvet, 50% Potato) • Size: "Pocket-sized" (for now) • Vocals: 10/10. They don't bark; they chortle, chirp, and gargle like miniature Wookies. • Special Skills: Professional ear-nibbling, competitive napping, and "The Full Body Wiggle." Why You Need One: 1. The Wookie Talk: They have a very busy social calendar and will tell you all about it in a series of adorable grunts and coos. Translation: "I love you, please give me a snack." 2. The Nugget Factor: They are currently at that peak "round" stage where they occasionally trip over their own paws. It is high-quality entertainment. 3. Aggressive Snuggling: These pups believe personal space is a myth. If there is a lap available, it will be occupied. 4. The Pittie Smile: Even at this age, their tiny tail-wags involve their entire back half. It’s physically impossible to be sad around them. Could it be a Match? These little nuggets are looking for homes where "puppy breath" is considered a luxury perfume and "wookie noises" at 2:00 AM are seen as charming conversation. They are happy, healthy, and ready to fly their Millennium Falcons (or your SUV) straight to a forever couch. Warning: Adoption may result in permanent "puppy-dog eyes" induced guilt and an extreme surplus of joy. How to meet dogs listed with "NY" : If the dog is listed with an 'Avail date" and a (location) - the dog cannot be met until the event and it is a first come, first served adoption event with the dogs being met in the order the potential adopters sign in. If the dog is listed as being in a (foster home ie: Foster in Carmel) please email us at info@pawsafe.org and we will set up an appointment for you to meet the dog(s) that interest you at their foster home(s). **** We are sorry, but we cannot adopt to Massachusetts residents. This is a Ma Dept. of Agriculture policy, not ours.
