Story
    Marley – The Gentle Giant with a Marshmallow Heart   Marley is a 5ish year old pup with a heart as big as her paws. She might look like a burly girl, but she’s really just a big softie! She is such a gentle lovebug with her calm and cuddly demeanor. She adores being around people and is wonderful with kids.   She enjoys short walks and walks nicely on a leash. She loves playtime. She will happily chase balls or chew on stuffed toys, and she is great at entertaining herself with humans around her. Most of all, she is content just being near people. Her mellow and affectionate personality have led many to comment that she’d make an incredible therapy dog—and it’s easy to see why.   Marley thrives on companionship. She will happily follow you from room to room, ready to curl up at your feet or snuggle beside you. Her calm, patient nature makes her such a sweet dog. She sits quietly and cooperatively, soaking up the attention, whether it’s bath time, brushing, or putting on clothes.     Marley is a fan of getting dressed and looks impossibly cute in all outfits.   Marley has had positive interactions with other dogs but we think she’d do best as the only dog in the home.   She’s house trained, crate trained, good in the car, excellent on a leash, and fully vetted.   If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will be your snuggle buddy and your biggest fan, Marley is your girl.   To apply - APPLICATION (See our Dog Adoption FAQs before applying) Fostered in Rochester NY.  December 5, 2025, 9:12 am

Hi, I’m George (Georgie)!🐶✨ Full-time good boy. Part-time toddler wrangler. I’m a professional napper, expert snack detector, and self-appointed neighborhood squirrel patrol. I live with my 2.5-year-old foster human—he’s sticky, loud, and a little clumsy, but I love him. We’re best friends. I help him eat things he drops (on purpose, I swear), and he helps me sneak onto the furniture. It’s a beautiful partnership. My hobbies include: 🦴 Chewing things that were definitely not meant for chewing 🚨 Barking at absolutely nothing 💤 Dramatic flops in high-traffic areas 💖 Following my tiny human like a shadow with a tail I take my job as emotional support floof very seriously. If you sit down, I will sit on you. If you’re eating, I will stare into your soul. And if you ask “Who’s a good boy?”—spoiler alert: it’s me.

Hi, I'm Mr. Lavender! Yes, I know—Lavender is a fancy name. I’m basically a four-legged scented candle. But don’t let the name fool you... I’m 100% boy, 100% chaos, and 1000% lovable. I’m a sweet, floppy goof who lives for three things: food, stuffies, and turbo zoomies. You got a snack? I’m there. You drop a crumb? I saw it before it hit the ground. I take my job as kitchen assistant very seriously—I’m my foster mom’s shadow, sous-chef, and quality control expert (taste-testing strongly encouraged). When I’m not helping in the kitchen, I’m cuddling my stuffies like a big ol’ baby. I bring them everywhere. Bed? Stuffies. Couch? Stuffies. Bathroom trip you didn’t invite me on? Don’t worry, I brought a stuffy and I'm standing outside the door. I love people, I love fun, and I love you already—and we just met!
