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.

From 10-12 we'll have the following adoptable dogs available to meet:

Hoss, our 14 month, fully trained Labrador Retriever mix will be there. This big boy is very calm and loves having another dog around for companionship.

Myers is an 8 month Dachshund mix with a lot of zoom! He hasn't met a person that he doesn't like and would fit in to most any home!

Chuck is likely a Pug/Pit Bull mix, just under 2 years old who is super shy at first but the sweeteat boy in general, good with cats and other dogs.

Other dogs/pups planning to be there from 10-2 include:

Billy, a Labrador/Shih Tzu mix puppy just ~ 4 months old and as sweet as pie will try not to steel your heart (good luck).

Rosebud, our 30 #, ~2.5 year beagle/hound mix will be sure to bring the party, and her Beagle bay, in case you've missed it from our last event. This girl loves everyone!

Aspen, our 6 month Mini Doodle mix plans to be there. She is a bit shy but the cutest darn pup around🍭

Bruin, our 8 month Dachshund mix (brother to Myers) will also be there. He is a shy boy so he'll need some encouragement, but once he knows you he'll be your best friend. Lily, the third pup from this litter will be joining us too!

And finally, Shelby, our super sweet but shy 4 year Miniature Poodle will be coming to try and soak up some Holiday Spirit as she tries to figure out her place in a world away from her former breeding life.💐

We'll all be there, will you???

🐾 Meet Shane:Your Next Best Friend! 🐾
Apps now closed as we review the numerous we have already received

Shane is a 10 month Yorkshire Terrier pup whose boundless energy and loving nature make him an absolute joy. This bouncy boy lives for playtime, especially with other dogs, and he would thrive in a home with a canine companion for frequent play dates! Although it takes him a few minutes to warm up to new people, after a fun romp with his playmates, Shane is ready to melt into your arms for a good cuddle session. He is sweet, playful, and bursting with enthusiasm, and all he needs now is a compassionate, loving family to call his own. He has been living it up in his foster home for the past few months, but now he's ready to move on in to a home of his own🏡

Shane is great with people and dogs, is mostly p*e pad trained and is as gentle as can be. He loves walks and zooming around the yard. If you want some love and silliness in your home, give Shane a chance ❤️

According to the AKC website, although Yorkies have a very elegant coat, they actually earned their living as ratters in mines and mills long before they became the lapdogs of Victorian ladies. The Yorkshire Terrier is a compact, toy-size terrier whose crowning glory is a floor-length, silky coat that is hypoallergenic (the coat is more like human hair than animal fur). Don't let the Yorkie's daintiness fool you, though, since this tenacious, feisty, brave, and sometimes bossy little character exhibits all the traits of a true terrier. Often named the most popular dog breed in various American cities, Yorkies pack lots of big-town attitude into a small but self-important package and are a long-lived, truley personality packed breed.

Due to his small size and situation, 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 for continued vet care if needed prior to adoption. After adoption, we recommend taking him to your current vet to be established.
💙Likesized dogs in the home and cats should be ok, due to his small size .
💙Homes with children over 10 years old should be ok due to his current small size and energy levels.
💙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.
💙Homes with toy breed dog experience is preferred but not required.

An adoption donation of $450 is being asked for Shane if you choose to adopt, but fostering is free. He has had his initial vet check, is current on vaccines and flea/tick preventative, and he has been neutered.

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

🚨🚨 Please read the post prior to applying. Although we have posted him previously, all have other pets and he will not be placed into a home with other pets regardless of age size or breed due to his unfortunate dog aggression.🚨🚨

Situation becoming urgent and this boy needs to find a place NOW!!

Foster to adopt home needed!

Everyone, we'd like to introduce you to Metro, a 9 month, fluffy, merle French Bulldog boy looking for a home of his own. Although Metro is currently residing with 2 other Frenchies, he has been starting fights and escalting these among his housemates despite growing up with them. Due to this behavior, Meteo needs to be the only pet in the home. As his human mom is facing some pretty tough health issues of her own, she reached out for help and needs to place him this week.

When we met him recently, he was full of smiles, let us pick him up, was happy to meet new people and seemed like a great boy, overall. Due to his recent history with dogs, however, we are looking for a home with no other pets or small children to hopefully give him the best chance to continue to grow and be a great companion dog. This little fluffy gem has the best smile and knows how to lay it on thick to get what he wants so he has missed out on a lot of training, including housebreaking. We would love to get him in to a foster to adopt home with previous bulldog experience to help show him the ropes, start his training and set boundaries to teach him to be the bestest boy he can be.

Due to his previous history and current 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.
🩷Metro does not do well with other dogs so we are looking for a pet free home where he can be spoiled all on his own.
🩷Homes with children over 14 years old should be ok but he has not been exposed to children up until now..
🩷Willing to have current family members come to a meet and greet with him to be sure he's an acceptable match.
🩷Having time available and knowledge of the breed to properly care for, socialize and start his training.
🩷He is acclimated to 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 $500 is being asked for him if you choose to adopt, but fostering is free. He had his initial vet check, is current on vaccines and has been neutered. He will be taken in our program once an acceptable foster to adopt home is found.

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

It's starting to feel like Winter, the white stuff is on the ground, the wind is blowing and Peppermint Mocha season is here. Since the sun is long gone, it's time for another edition of Foster Dog Diaries! Hold on to your hot cocoa because here we go!

Two adoptions were finalized this week with Hunter and Lacy's family saying "I do" to their foster pets.

We had 2! new intakes (Charity the 9 year Labrador Retriever and Tabitha the 3 year old Terrier mix). Both will soon be looking for foster homes.

Metro, our fluffy French Bulldog is still waiting on a foster to adopt home and his situation is getting urgent to find a foster home and come in to our rescue.

Princess Buttercup went to a foster to adopt home this week and is fitting in with her new sister wonderfully.

After just over a year without a foster, Ozzie and Sugarplum both went to foster homes this week to brush up on their skills, learn some life lessons get some much needed TLC and hopefully get some more visibility so that their forever homes can find them, maybe yours?

Of our new arrivals from a few weeks ago, Lily and Bruin (8 month Dachshund/maybe Chihuahua mixes) are still looking for foster or foster to adopt homes as are Aspen the Poodle mix and Shelby the Miniature Poodle. For more information about them and their best possible matches, go to allcreaturesbigandsmall.org for more information.

Our next event will be November 22nd at Tractor Supply in Pulaski, NY from 10am-2pm for our 3rd Annual Howliday Pie Sale and Adoption Event! Meet some of our adoptable pets, talk with volunteers and buy some pies! More information on dogs attending will be available later this week.

🎉Just a few reminders as we get closer to the holidays 🎉

🎄Please be sure to read the pets full profile. Our fosters take the time to write up profiles explaining personalities and what type of home the pet would do best in so please take the time to read and be sure you meet the criteria before applying.

❄️ If a pet is no longer available for adoption an update will be posted at the top of their post on Facebook and they will be removed from petfinder. Please be sure to read the updates.

⛄️If a pet is visible on petfinder (adoptable pets page of our website) applications are still open and being accepted.

🎄submitting a inquiry on petfinder is not an application- this just tells us you are interested. You still need to complete the application.

❄️ Please call your vet to release info as soon as you submit your application (or first thing the next business day). If you do not give permission we move to the next application until we hear back from you. This could mean you losing out on that pet.

⛄️ What if this is your first pet?! That’s ok!! We just require you have spoken to a vet in your area and confirm they are accepting new patients.

🎄 We are a foster based rescue- the pets are in our homes, so meet and greets are scheduled only with an approved application.

❄️ Please be patient with us, we try to get to applications as quickly as we can. Following instructions on the application will help things move along smoothly.

⛄️ Many times the first contact is through email as we tend to work early/late hours to keep up. So please be sure to watch your email (junk too) for questions or updates- the primary email used for cat applications is [email protected] and dogs is [email protected]. Both emails may be used during some situations.

🎄❄️⛄️We have lots of animals hoping to be in their new homes for the holidays. Keep an eye on the page for updates and new animals to be posted soon.
