Story
NOT DOG-FRIENDLYAvi was originally picked up as a stray in the town of Cicero and weighs about 68 pounds. He was adopted for several months before his new family unfortunately had to move and couldn`t take Avi with them. Avi is a sweet and gentle brindle boy with an absolute adoration of stuffies and a love of the pool (which is better with toys in it). He`s an easy walker for our volunteers and loves receiving affection before, during, and after walks. If you want a calm and easy going family dog, Avi would be the perfect choice.

Story
King was picked up as a stray in the city of Syracuse and weighs around 76 pounds. At first he had other things to do, but after getting comfortable with people he`s turned into a big cuddle bug who will sit on your feet for head scratches. King is up for absolutely any kind of play: fetch, tug, go find it. He`ll do it all! How is he for treats? Well volunteers have said he does little `hippo hops` for them because he`s so excited, but he also remembers to take them nicely. He does have some prey drive, so having him around small critters probably isn`t a good idea. But he`s a smart boy who knows sit, down, touch, and is learning spin!He`s also learning his manners when it comes to other dogs.

Story
Lily was brought in as a stray with her buddy Liam and weighs about 48 pounds. She`s been a quiet and reserved girl so far who is an absolute cuddle bug. That`s not to say she won`t perform squeaker-ectomies on her stuffies or give you a challenge in a game of tug of war. She`s also pretty smart to boot as she already knows sit, paw, down and come.NOT DOG-FRIENDLY

Story
Delaney was picked up as a stray in Baldwinsville and weighs about 85 pounds. She`s a sweet and gentle girl and an easy walker who minds her leash manners. She`s slowly been turning into a cuddle bug and showing off her affectionate side. So far we`ve figured out that while she likes treats, she`d much rather have affection.

Story
Benny was picked up as a stray in DeWitt and weighs about 80 pounds. He`s a goofy lug who likes treats but he also likes to do his best impression of an ox and pull you along for walks. Benny is also cuddly and does so in the form of gentle body slams so he can flop over in your lap and get belly rubs like the goofy boy he is.

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

Story
******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?
