Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi there, my name is Minnie!!   I am a sweet girl who may be small in stature, but I have mountains of love to give.  I am a very affectionate girl and love to cuddle and give lots of kisses. At around 30 pounds and 1-year-old, my foster Mom says that I am a gorgeous wrinkly-faced, pity mix lady who is the exact definition of a lap dog.  I love meeting new people and will quickly show off my belly for rubs, which is one of my favorite things! I am currently living with two foster dog-siblings and love to play with them. I am mostly house-trained and although I may still have an accident, they are becoming less frequent every day, so I should have it down in no time.  I love those things they call treats, and I am highly food motivated, making training me so much easier, as I will do anything for a treat!!  I know some basic commands and I respond well to my name.  My foster Mom says I am the sweetest and most loving pup around, do you want to meet me and see? I am hoping for a home that will let me be the most snuggly lap-pup that I was certainly born to be. The best forever home for me would probably be one with another pup, since I love to play, but of course would require a proper warm-up/meet and greet to be sure that we can be the best playmates ever. If you are interested in meeting me and getting in some cuddles, please apply for me today at BuffaloCares.org, I will be waiting for you! Hugs and kisses, Minnie!

Story
Reid in an adorable 4 year old Pit Bull. He weighs 65lbs and is neutered, potty trained, and crate trained (although he is very good in the house and currently doesn’t need a crate at his foster home). Reid absolutely loves his people and wants nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch with them. He will greet you with the biggest smile and the happiest tail wags when you come home and will follow you around from room to room just to be close to you. He would like to be the only dog in the home so he can get all the love and attention for himself! Reid would do best in a calm home with a relaxing lifestyle since he is nervous when meeting new people and going to new places. Reid is muzzle trained and will happily let you put it on to take him to the vet, for a walk, or when you have company over. Reid loves to chew on his bones, get belly rubs, and lay outside soaking up the sun. He walks well on a leash and loves to take a few laps around the block and explore all the sights and smells. Reid is a very sweet dog who wants to kick back and enjoy the comfort of a quiet nap on a comfy bed. If Reid sounds like the dog for you, fill out an application at buffalounderdogs.com/adopt ##848389##

Story
Name: Denzel Age: 10/10/21 (2yrs) Breed: Pit Bull terrier Weight: 55 lbs Gender: Male Hi there! My name is Denzel! I was named that because the ladies who took me in at a local shelter thought I was a very suave, cool man. I'm easy-going, well-mannered, and sweet. I was abandoned locally with no shelter, food, or water and I was brought to a shelter back in August. While I was there, my foster mom worked with me and my puppy dog eyes worked! She took me home! I am crate trained and house trained, but still have accidents here and there. I am getting very comfortable falling asleep on a couch or one of the soft dog beds around the house! I live with an 8 year old boy and I've figured out that kids are pretty fun! I also live with four other dogs and they've been teaching me how to be a dog. I love kisses (giving and getting them), cuddles, treats, toys, and walk like a gentleman on a leash! I know how to sit very well, am learning some other basic commands, and come running when my name is called because it probably means food or something fun! If you are interested in Denzel, please apply at https://www.716paws.org/adopt or message the rescue on Facebook, if you're already approved. ##1849316##

Hi everyone!  My name is Kiwi and I am as sweet as the fruit. I'm an 11 month old pitbull mix.  I love to snuggle up and take a nice nap ( I also have the cutest snores ). I give the sweetest kisses. It takes me a little bit to warm up to people but I love playing with other dogs. I have an ugly scar down my back but it doesn’t seem to bother me much.  My crate is my safe space so I have no issues hanging out in there with some toys. I sleep really well at night in my crate without a peep.  I am pretty good at going potty outside but sometimes I have a little accident.  If you are looking for a pint size snugggle bug, apply at buffalounderdogs.com. ##1899976##

Story
I'm Rex from Texas, a very handsome black and brown brindle with a touch of orange and a white chest. Google photos says I'm a Plott / Mountain Cur mix, but my DNA came back: 54% Pit, 22% Supermutt (Mountain Cur, Plott Hound, Rat Terrier, and Bluetick Coonhound), 16% Catahoula Leopard, and 9% Treeing Walker Coonhound. I arrived in Buffalo Dec 21st; 2023 was not easy for me. I was found in June, chained to a post, at 23 lbs. lying outside a liquor store in rural southeast Texas, completely emaciated. My hero/foster mom who found me thought I was dead and was surprised when I raised my head, then stood and wobbled toward her. I was fostered back to health in TX, neutered in July, then treated for heartworm and gained 24 lbs. There I was super dog friendly and loved my toys. The Buffalo vet thinks I'm a young adult, 2-3 years old. I'm walking 2-3 miles a day with my foster mom so am now a perfect size ~45 lbs. I can become excited when I see other dogs on my walks, so we're working on that by distracting me with treats. I'm pretty much housebroken, though may take time to adjust in my new home. I sleep through the night in my crate  and spend a lot of time in it voluntarily during the day. I love car rides, and hardly ever bark. I can be a little shy but every day am becoming more confident - living in a house is great, especially with all my toys. I've just learned sit. I am a total love, sweet and gentle, and turn into a giant puppy the moment I meet a squeaky toy. I also love a good game of tug or competitive zoomies.  With proper introductions I love other dogs and would absolutely thrive in a home with another canine playmate(s).

Hello! My name is Olaf, and if you're looking for a handsome guy to keep you company, look no further! I’m an American pitbull terrier, almost 2 yrs old and 70 lbs. I've been living in a foster home and would love to find a place to call my forever home. I've learned a lot of things, but most of all I've learned that being with people that love me is the best of all! I know sit, paw and down, and love to work for treats. I have a canine foster sister and have gotten along with plenty of other dogs I've met, a playmate could be lots of fun! I love chew toys, ear scratches, and being with my people. My foster family says whoever gets to love me forever will be very lucky! If I sound like the type of guy you'd like to meet, fill out an application at www.buffalounderdogs.com and ask for Olaf! ##1950116##

I enjoy other dogs I have been properly introduced to in my play groups, but I can shine as the only pet.  I just want what every dog wants: a safe and comfortable home where I can be loved.
