501(C)3 non-profit pet rescue est. in 2003 to help adoptable pets in need in CNY & NNY
NYS Reg NYS Reg # RR067

All Creatures Big and Small is a 501(C)3 non-profit pet rescue founded in 2003 by Beulah Miller (a former licensed veterinary technician) and Marjorie McCann (an experienced SPCA volunteer) to help adoptable pets in need. With the help of some very dear friends and volunteers, such as Nancy Bishop (Secretary), we have been able to save over 900 animals and help decrease the pet overpopulation prob

lem in our area. Our pets come from various places giving priority to pets in Oswego and Jefferson Counties as well as local dog wardens who are only required to hold dogs for 5 days before having them humanely euthanized. Since our incorporation, we have been able to find loving homes for over 300 of these adoptable dogs in Oswego County saving them from euthanasia. In addition, we have also been able to find homes for over 1000 other needy pets over the past 10 years. We would like to thank the Dog Wardens for accepting our help and contacting us when they have an adoptable dog in need rather than taking the easy way out and having them put to sleep. We also receive pets from local dog pounds, private owners, other rescues and kill shelters. If you know of a pet in need, please contact us to see if we may be able to help.

Foster to adopt home needed!

We were recently contacted by a local family about two dogs in need. Although they've been together for the last three years, the family believes they would do fine being out on their own.

The second dog is Scupper, a 3 year old black, male Goldendoodle, weighing in at ~70 #. Scupper came from a local breeder and was adopted by an older gentleman who wanted companionship for himself and the other dog in the home. He loved growing up with and annoying his older "brother" Barney for the last 3 years and they went with their dad everywhere, including to the water. He is a very gentle but active boy that doesn't always know his large size. He has known no neglect or abuse, but unfortunately, he lost his dad
within the past year and a family member that took the dogs in will be moving soon and can no longer keep the dogs with her. They truly are great boys and we would really like to find a home for each of them soon. She had this to say about Scupper:

Scupper is happy, playful, affectionate, loving, and intelligent. Scupper is a black goldendoodle and he just turned 3 years old. He has curly hair and does not shed. Scupper is shy at first, but once he gets to know you he will want to be your best friend. Scupper loves to play with both people and other dogs. He loves to snuggle up and get "luvins". He sometimes sounds like he's talking. At times, I think he is a mind-reader because when I tell him to do something, he almost always does it, even though he doesn't know the words I am saying. He is very intuitive and intelligent that way. Scupper is motivated by praise, food, and responds instantly to the word "treat" as well as several commands. Scupper needs to be put out early in the morning and will sometimes have an "accident" if he does not get let out early enough. Scupper loves to be around the water and one of his favorite things to do is to go fishing. In fact, there is a book named after him. It is Scupper the Sailor Dog by Margaret Wise Brown. Scupper has been well loved and well cared for. Scupper deserves a home where he gets lots of love and attention.

Due to his large size and energy level, foster to adopt requirements are:

⛴️Living within 80 miles of Adams, NY.
⛴️Having previous/current pets in annually at a local veterinary office and up to date on vaccines as well as spay/neutered.
⛴️Being able to bring him back to our vets office in Adams if additional care is needed prior to adoption. After adoption, we recommend taking him to your current vet to be established.
⛴️Scupper is currently in a home with another dog so other dogs in the home should be ok.
⛴️Homes with children over 8 years old should be ok due to his current large size and energy level.
⛴️Willing to have current family members come to a meet and greet to meet the pet and be sure he's an acceptable match.
⛴️Having time available to care for, socialize and start the training of a new pet.
⛴️Scupper would love a fenced yard to play in, but it's not a requirement as long as his exercise needs are met with leashwalks.

An adoption donation of $450 is being asked for him if you choose to adopt, but fostering is free. He had his initial vet check, is current on vaccines, has been neutered, 4dx tested negative and is on prescription flea, tick and heartworm, preventative.

Please help us to continue helping those that knock on our doors!

Foster to adopt home needed!

We were recently contacted by a local family about two dogs in need. Although they've been together for the last three years, the family believes they would do fine being out on their own.

The first dog is Barney, A 6 year old terrier mix male weighing in at 70 #. Barney was originally adopted from our rescue as a puppy who was part of a larger litter from Oswego County. He was adopted by an older gentleman who loved him to pieces. He was spoiled as an only pet for a few years and went with his dad everywhere, including to the water. He is a very gentle and sweet boy and has known no neglect or abuse, but unfortunately, he lost his dad
within the past year and a family member that took the dogs in will be moving soon and can no longer keep the dogs with her. They truly are great boys and we would really like to find a home for each of them soon. She had this to say about Barney:

Barney would make someone a wonderful companion. He is kind, gentle, and loving (to both people and other dogs). Barney likes to chill and just hang out with people. He even likes to cross his front legs when he is relaxing. His name is short for Captain Barnacle and he is a very sweet boy. He loves boat rides and being on the water. He loves attention and is eager to please. He likes to play with both people and other dogs. Barney does shed quite a bit, but that's the price one has to pay for being so absolutely beautiful. He loves to be brushed, pet, loved, talked to, and in general, just be super sweet. Barney has been an amazing companion and has been well loved. He deserves a home where he will be loved and well cared for, ligelong. Barney will make someone very, very happy if given the chance.

Due to his large size and energy level, foster to adopt requirements are:

🛥Living within 80 miles of Adams, NY.
🛥Having previous/current pets in annually at a local veterinary office and up to date on vaccines as well as spay/neutered.
🛥Being able to bring him back to our vets office in Adams if additional care is needed prior to adoption. After adoption, we recommend taking him to your current vet to be established.
🛥Barney is currently in a home with a golden doodle Scupper so other dogs in the home should be ok.
🛥Homes with children over 8 years old should be ok due to his current large size and energy level.
🛥Willing to have current family members come to a meet and greet to meet the pet and be sure he's an acceptable match.
🛥Having time available to care for, socialize and start the training of a new pet.
🛥Barney would love a fenced yard to play in, but it's not a requirement as long as his exercise needs are met with leashwalks.

🏥 We need your help!

💔Update: Despite our best efforts Jesper passed away this afternoon. He was given lots of love and care and we are so sorry we couldn’t save you sweet boy 💔

We were contacted this afternoon about a kitten in need of assistance. The kitten was found over the weekend and given to an individual to care for. The individual did the best they could, but knew the kitten needed more help. We quickly jumped into action and one of our volunteers picked him up and took him to our vet. During the drive, they bonded and she named him Jesper.

The kitten was assessed by our vet and has a very guarded prognosis. He has fluid in his belly, labored breathing, and is very weak. We are doing some testing and he has been x-rayed and these will be sent out for review. We will do everything we can for this little one and if you can, please donate to his care we would very much appreciate it!!

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers and we will keep updating as we can.o

Aspen, a 4 month Poodle mix of some sort, came to us recently from KY where, over the course of a week, she and her siblings were all found abandoned and on the loose. Another rescue pulled her siblings and we knew we couldn't leave this poor pup behind so we agreed to bring her North.

Aspen is currently ~15 # so we think she will be 30 to 50 pounds full grown. Since she just arrived, we are unsure if she has a coat that sheds or not, as with most doodles, only time will tell. Although she is a bit shy at first, she ia just the sweetest girl. She has a tail wag when she greets people and is treat motivated which should help with her training.

If you're looking for a good natured, sweet Poodle mix girl, who is soft spoken and gentle, Aspen may be the one for you!

Due to her size, age and temperament, foster to adopt requirements are:

-Living within 80 miles of Adams, NY.
-Having previous/current pets in annually at a local veterinary office and up to date on vaccines as well as spay/neutered.
-Being able to bring her back to our vets office in Adams if additional care will be needed prior to adoption. After adoption, we recommend taking her to your current vet to be established.
-Aspen was found as a stray but was fostered with her littermates so we think she would do ok with likesized dogs as well as cats. A meet and greet with pets in the home would be necessary to be sure.
-Adult homes or homes with children 8 years or older should be fine since she is a bit shy especially at first.
-Willing to have current family members come to a meet and greet to meet the pet and be sure an acceptable match.
-Having time available to care for, socialize and start the training of a new pet.

An adoption donation of $500 is being asked if you choose to adopt, but fostering is free. She has had an initial vet check, is current on vaccines, dewormings and prescription flea and tick medications and she has been spayed.

Our little Dachshund mixes have arrived and they sure are sweet! All are looking for foster to adopt homes and would really like families to share their lives (and smootches) with.

Lily, Myers, Bruin and Momma Penny came to us recently from KY when their owners couldn't care for the number of dogs they had. They were turned in to an overcrowded, rural shelter and were was pulled by rescue and placed into foster until transport to NY could be arranged.

Lily is a sweet girl, ~8 months old and under 8 #. She is a bit shy until she gets to know you, but is very sweet thereafter. She is playful, does the showing-the- teeth kind of smile in submission, but is overly fearful at this time with introductions (in her defense, she's only been in foster just over 24 hours so she's still trying to decompress). She is a cuddler and likes lapsitting and being held, but needs some brushing up on housetraining, socializing and leash training. If you're looking for a sweet dachshund mix girl, who's a lover and a cuddler, though a bit of a fraidy cat, Lily may be the one for you!

Penny is the momma to the pups. This sweet girl is ~2-3 years old and under 8.5 #. She is a bit shy until she gets to know you, but is as sweet as pie overall and quite the cuddler. She is a shoulder kind of girl who likes to really nussle in to her person and get any attention cast her way. She is calm and sweet, and once you earn her triat she willbe yours forever!. If you're looking for a sweet dachshund mix girl, who's willimg to lap sit the day away, Penny may be the one for you! (Please excuse the pictures of her, it was very difficult taking photos while being and loved on by the subject of your pics! lol)

Myers is also one of Penny's pups ~8 months old and 10 # so he will likely stay under 15 # full grown. This boy likes to go, go, go and will accept any attention cast his way. He would like to be part of the plan, no matter what, even if it involves having your back and ESPECIALLY if it involves hiding shoes. He is very sweet, very playful and just wants a family to call his own, maybe yours? If you're looking for a social butterfly of a pup who will stay a great size for traveling, and who is always happy to see and greet you, Myers may be the one for you!

Bruin is the largeat of the group ~8 months old and 15 # so he will likely stay under 20 # full grown. He is a bit shy until he gets to know you, but is as sweet as pie overall. He loves to be held and fussed over once he settles in and ia the clown of the group, promising to keep you laughing. He is playful but also a snuggler and would love a safe place to lay his head at night, maybe yours? If you're looking for a sweet dachshund mix boy, who's a lover not a fighter, Bruin may be the one for you!

All will need some brushing up on housebreaking and training, but they will repay you in kisses for your time and effort!

Due to their size, age and temperament, foster to adopt requirements are:

-Living within 80 miles of Adams, NY.
-Having previous/current pets in annually at a local veterinary office and up to date on vaccines as well as spay/neutered.
-Being able to bring them back to our vets office in Adams if additional care will be needed prior to adoption. After adoption, we recommend taking them to your current vet to be established.
-Lily was acclimated to likesized dogs as well as cats in her previous home, but she's very fearful at this so that will be dependant on a meet and greet. The others seem to do well with both likesized dogs and they had cats in their previous foster home so they should be fine with both.
-Adult homes or homes with children over 10 years old should be fine since they tend to be a bit shy, especially at first.
-Willing to have current family members come to a meet and greet to meet the pet and be sure an acceptable match.
-Having time available to care for, socialize and start the training of a new pet.

An adoption donation of $500 for the pups is being asked and $450 for momma Penny if you choose to adopt, but fostering is free. All have had an initial vet check, are current on vaccines, dewormings and prescription flea and tick medications and they have been spayed/neutered.
