American Staffordshire Terrier puppies and dogs in Cobleskill, New York

Jakar is a gorgeous, enthusiastic guy that was found roaming the streets of Queens, NYC. He was then brought to the New York Animal Care Centers, the New York City Municipal shelter where he started to deteriorate. The shelter is a very stressful place. It's so crowded and many dogs don't make it out. Jakar is lucky that an amazing woman stepped up to save his life. These are Jakar's STATS Jakar Address: Newark, NJ Approximate age: 1 yo Approximate weight: 54 pounds Breed (s): pit bull mix Spayed or neutered?: Yes, neutered Good with: People and Dogs (no experience with kids or cats) kids?: no known experience strangers?: Yes other dogs?: Yes cats?: no known experience On leash?: Loose, moderate pulling Housetrained?: Yes Crate trained?: Yes UTD on vaccinations and microchipped. Jakar has been in a board and training program for THREE MONTHS, honing his skills and being the best boy he can be. He is mastering all there is in training! Jakar is a young cane corso mix looking for his perfect match. Jakar came to Personal Paws for some much needed education. Throughout his stay he’s been working on.. well, just being a dog! In his past in-devours he’s been tossed around and held back A LOT. Pounds Hounds Rescue, an amazing organization reached out to set Jakar up for success in hopes of finding his forever people. Taking the TIME and getting to know Jakar, I’ve unlocked a lot of amazing qualities. He’s not only a kind soul but he is genuine. He loves to love and give 100% to his people. He also loves to chase and play. Jakar loves to rip zoomies which will make you cry laughing!! He’s fully crate trained and is working on intermediate and advanced obedience along with proper socialization while residing at Personal Paws in upstate NY. Jakar comes with FREE training to transfer education over properly to his new owners. New owners will be provided nutritional guidelines along with a daily structured schedule to keep up with all training expectations. Jakar is medium/high energy and is looking to be the only animal to start while he gets adjusted to a home environment. This requires patience and consistent training. He would do best in a home that is active and enjoys adventures as much as he does. A home that has older children that can participate in training and play time. Jakar is an absolute love bug and truly wants to show off how much he has to offer. He just need a solid leader who can commit and set him up for success long term. Jakar is ready to find his forever folks!! Let’s find this handsome gentleman the home of his dreams! Jakar's future home should be one that will provide a safe, loving and caring environment. He is a smart boy who LOVES getting pets from people. His favorite thing at the moment is people watching: he will sit, preferably on a patch of grass, and watch people go by for hours if you let him. Jakar doesn’t have any issues that can’t be improved on. He likes being with people and will complain if left alone, with that characteristic pit bull cry. He also loves to play mouthy and will jump up on people because he gets over-excited. However, in the two weeks he has been in his foster home, he has improved significantly and continues to make remarkable progress day by day. Have those blue beautiful eyes caught your attention yet? They sure have caught ours! At only 1 y.o, Jakar has had a hard life, but despite all the hardships he has been through, he managed to keep his spirit intact. He is a social boy with people and dogs but is a bit timid when introduced to new objects or environments (but who isn’t, right?). Whether it's an elevator or a Roomba, Jakar has shown us that with a little bravery, he can conquer any fear. Jakar is one smart cookie! He already knows commands like “sit” and “leave it,” and he'll happily watch you cook from his designated spot—all for the bargain price of one treat! (He might have insisted I include that part.) He’s working hard on his leash manners and, with just a few gentle corrections, walks like a champ. Though he's crate-trained, Jakar isn’t the biggest fan of long stints in there. Having spent much of his young life crated, he advocates for his freedom like a true Newark native! He is house and crate trained but hasn’t learned to hold it for more than 5 hours (He asked me to remove that part, he says it’s embarrassing). Athletic and energetic, Jakar loves his walks and is obsessed with his flirt pole. A true champion chewer, he holds his chew toys in high regard. While he enjoys a good game of tug-of-war, Jakar doesn't t guard his belongings and will happily let you take anything from him—even his food. He also LOVES observing humans and nature. For the time being he enjoys taking his breakfast at the park, it’s like tv dinner for dogs! Friendly with people and dogs, Jakar is a social butterfly. On walks, he’ll sit patiently, waiting for someone to approach him for a pet (he might even cry if someone skips him!). While he hasn’t had much direct contact with kids, cats, or other animals, he’s shown no signs of aggression when observing them from a distance. Despite his good behavior, slow introductions to people and pets is a must for adoptable dogs, like Jakar. Once left to fend for himself, Jakar hasn’t given up on people. He’s learning to be the best house dog he can be and is ready to give you all the love and wet kisses in the world. Just like that on song (sorta) says: “If you gave him a chance…

Larry has had a rough start to his life. Animal Control was called to pick him (and his two brothers) up from his previous home when his owners moved and left them behind. The 3 pups were found sitting in a crate in the yard with no food or water. These pups were so friendly and eager to greet the AC officer, they were really just happy to be alive and that someone found them. Even being at the shelter was sadly better than being in a crate on an abandoned property. All three are very friendly pups and love people. They are happy and affectionate little pups. Larry is 1.5 years old, 30 lbs, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative. We will post Moe separately. Their other brother Curly was taken in by another rescue group. If you are interested in making sweet Larry part of your family, please call or text Julie on 919 624 0059.

Meet Adalyn, URGENT HELP LISTED FOR EUTHANASIA AFTER SPENDING 538 DAYS ALONE AND CONFINED IN A KENNEL‼️ Adalyn came into the shelter 348 DAYS ago, as a stray. It’s becoming more than she can mentally handle. When you see her in the kennel, she is jumping and barking and super M agitated because we were more concerned with her injuring herself trying to get out to be with us. The shelter is a very lonely place to be when you have zero socialization and outside time to channel that energy. When she gets out, her heart is content. She wants to roll around in the grass and just be... Free. She’s content watching the happenings around her while soaking up the sun. PLEASE SHE DESERVES SOME HELP ‼️ PLEASE TEXT KAREN 4136298152
