Denver is a 4 year old, 6lb Toy Poodle who was rescued from a puppy mill. He is very curious and eager to explore, but can still be skittish with people and needs a slow approach while he learns that we aren’t all bad.

Denver is crate trained and is figuring out potty training with a structured routine, though he does have some marking tendencies so belly wraps may come in handy (he was just neutered which usually helps this behavior subside). He will wander around in a leash but will need to work up to actual leash walks. He loves every cat and dog he has ever met!

If you’re interested in adopting Denver, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. Long distance adoptions considered at the adopters expense. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

Our puppies are wondering why nobody wants them 😢
The Encanto litter just turned 16 weeks old and are now fully vaccinated including Rabies. They are ready to start going on adventures with their forever families and becoming independent without their siblings, but instead are stuck in foster care and they have had ZERO interest or applications.

These pups are Lab/Terrier mixes weighing between 12-19lbs currently. They are fun, happy, dog/cat/people friendly, catching on to potty training. They are fully vaccinated, have a lifetime registered microchip, and their spay/neuters will be paid for by the rescue in October.

Please share so these fabulous dogs can find their forevers! If you are interested in adopting OR fostering, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt

Penny (11lbs) and Maeve (16lbs) are two sisters who were last minute add-ons to a puppy mill surrender. We were not told what breeds they are supposed to be, but our best guess is dachshund/cocker spaniel mixes. They are 6 months old and despite spending a very important part of their young lives with little to no interaction they are trying very hard to come out of their shells and trust people!

Both girls are crate trained, progressing with potty training when kept on a consistent routine, very dog friendly, and cat neutral. They are still figuring out how a leash works and would greatly benefit from a fenced yard while they navigate that. Penny is a little more outgoing than Maeve and once she trusts you she enjoys being pet and loved on. Maeve is a little more shy, she does a happy dance when she sees the people she trusts come into the room and will approach to give some kisses on their hands but is a little more apprehensive about touch so far. We have high hopes that they will both progress quickly in a quiet environment with more 1on1 attention.

If you’re interested in adopting Penny or Maeve, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. They will be spayed at our vet in Hamburg, NY in October. This is included in his adoption fee, but a potential adopter will be responsible for getting them to this appointment and must be local enough to do so. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

08/17/2024

Harvey is a 4 year old chocolate merle Miniature Poodle weighing 18lbs who was recently retired from a puppy mill. He is still figuring out how to be a dog and he’s a little shy, but should come out of his shell with time and patience.

Harvey is crate trained, working on potty training, and very dog friendly. He doesn’t mind cats and is slowly figuring out the leash so a fenced yard is not required. He needs a calm approach while he learns about receiving affection but is very sweet and easy to handle.

If you’re interested in adopting Harvey, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. He will be neutered at our vet in Hamburg, NY in the coming months. This is included in his adoption fee, but a potential adopter will be responsible for getting him to this appointment and must be local enough to do so. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

08/14/2024

Fern is an 8 week old Shih Tzu/English Springer Spaniel mix. She weighs 4lbs now and we suspect that her adult weight may be between 15-25lbs. She joined our rescue two weeks ago when our director showed up to buy a dog crate from someone off Facebook marketplace and was told about a litter of puppies, all of which had been sold except one. We took her in a heartbeat, thankful that we could ensure at least one of those puppies gets vaccinated, spayed, and adopted out to an approved family.

Fern is essentially the perfect puppy. She is happy, playful, always giving kisses! She is currently being fostered with dogs of all sizes and loves to play. She is disinterested in cats. She sleeps in a crate at night and though she does need a potty break overnight due to being so young, she will wake up and cry when she needs to go. She is already very smart and is going to make someone an excellent dog when she grows up!

If you’re interested in adopting Fern, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. She will be spayed at our vet in Hamburg, NY in the coming months. This is included in her adoption fee, but a potential adopter will be responsible for getting her to this appointment and must be local enough to do so. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

08/12/2024

Artie is a 4 year old Miniature Poodle weighing around 14lbs with a cute, goofy overbite and a personality to match! He was a puppy mill rescue who was released due to an ear hematoma. Our vet decided on the least invasive approach which was to treat the underlying ear infection and let the hematoma heal on its own which worked wonderfully and he now has a clean bill of health! He has some residual scar tissue from the swelling but it is purely cosmetic and not noticeable under his curly hair.

Artie is s***ky and very curious about people/happy to be in their presence but still working on understanding affection. He will happily run up to you and lick your fingers but is a little apprehensive of being reached for, this should improve with time and more 1on1 attention. He is crate trained, doing well with potty training when kept on a consistent routine, very dog friendly, and doesn’t mind cats. He doesn’t understand the leash quite yet but is not scared of it, so a fenced yard is not a retirement for an adopter with patience who can teach him that skill.

If you’re interested in adopting Artie, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. He will be neutered at our vet in Hamburg, NY in the coming months. This is included in his adoption fee, but a potential adopter will be responsible for getting him to this appointment and must be local enough to do so. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

08/12/2024

Poppy is a sweet, tiny 3-4 year old Miniature Poodle weighing just 12lbs who was rescued from a mill that shut down shortly after weaning a litter of puppies. She came to us with some hair loss along her back that our vet suspects was due to a combination of hormones and poor nutrition, but we are already seeing regrowth and don’t suspect it to be an issue in the future.

Poppy is crate trained, doing great with potty training when kept on a structured routine, and is taking to a leash pretty well so we don’t feel that a fenced yard is a requirement. She is very small dog friendly but gets sassy when big dogs are in her space, so her ideal dog siblings would be under 25lbs. She has seen cats and doesn’t have much interest in them. She LOVES to play with toys and is warming up to being shown affection but will need a little time and patience to adjust to a new situation.

If you’re interested in adopting Poppy, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. She will be spayed at our vet in Hamburg, NY in the coming months. This is included in her adoption fee, but a potential adopter will be responsible for getting her to this appointment and must be local enough to do so. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

For $5 Friday we are sharing our rescue from yesterday. We were set to save 2 male Mini Poodle’s from a puppy mill ages 4 (Arlo) and 5 (Enzo). At the time of transport they wanted to dump another 3 year old female (Darla) so of course we took her too… we don’t leave any behind, despite the fact that we also have 4 more coming into the rescue tomorrow to get ready for.

Poor little Enzo was in the worst shape, severely matted, covered in urine with scald on his paw pads. We will be finishing his shave down today as he had just had enough last night. His teeth are horrendous making us believe he is well over 5 years old, so he will need a dental with what we anticipate to be many teeth pulled and senior bloodwork on top of the usual vaccines and neuter. Despite his condition, he is the sweetest and happiest little guy with his tail always wagging and ready to snuggle at a moments notice.

We are so thankful that he is out of that situation and will know nothing but love and quality care for the rest of his life, but there’s no doubt about it that the hardest rescues for us are the expensive ones. We receive very little in donations, and we get it, times are tough for everyone, but we are desperate for some help to stay afloat. Adoption fees don’t cover much more than the vet care, spay/neuter, food, preventatives, and other supplies needed while our dogs are in their foster homes but we feel obligated to step in to help these dogs escape the conditions of their old lives.

Please consider sparing $5 today to help us with the care of Enzo among our other constantly growing expenses by visiting www.rosebudrescue.com/donate
There are direct links to our Venmo and PayPal. You are able to donate at the PayPal link using a credit or debit card even if you do not have an account. As a 501c3 your donations are tax deductible! Please email [email protected] with your full name, payment method, and donation amount to be sent a receipt.

Thank you in advance to those of you who help us help them. I wish there was a solution to not always having to ask for more, but we need it now more than ever 🤍🐾

08/06/2024

Bingo is a 10 month old Catahoula mix weighing just under 40lbs. He is the perfect combination of sweet and playful! He was pulled from a shelter in KY as he was too shy there to find his forever home.

Bingo is very dog friendly, good with dog savvy cats, and a little shy when meeting new people but you can win him over with a little chin scratch pretty quick! He is crate trained, potty trained when kept on a consistent routine, and walks well on a leash. He loves being outside and would prefer a fenced yard to hang out in, though it is not required.

f you’re interested in adopting Bingo, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. Long distance adoptions considered at the adopters expense after a meet and greet in West Falls, NY. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

08/03/2024

What’s that… more puppies!? Last but not least, meet our Encanto crew. These puppies are 13 weeks old (born 4/30/24) and we presume they are Lab/Terrier mixes. They are a bit larger than our other pups of the same age, so we think they could mature to be 40-60lbs.

These puppies were brought into a rural shelter in KY at 6 weeks old and had no interest. They made their journey up north so they didn’t have to continue growing up in a shelter. They currently sleep together in a play pen with an open crate door and are happy to explore on a leash but still learning. They prefer to go potty outside and are very food motivated so should be easily trainable.

They are currently fostered in a home with other dogs and can be a bit rambunctious, so a playful dog who can tolerate puppy shenanigans is a must if entering a home with an existing dog. They are curious about cats but leave them be when they walk away. They love meeting new people and are playful, but snuggly!

If you’re interested in adopting a puppy, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. They will be spayed/neutered at our vet in Hamburg, NY between 6-8 months of age. This is included in their adoption fee, but a potential adopter will be responsible for getting them to this appointment and must be local enough to do so. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

08/02/2024

Copper here is a 1 year old “Chi-Weenie” (Chihuahua/Dachshund mix) weighing 13lbs and he is the sweetest little man around! He was pulled from a KY shelter by our rescue partner Ginger as he was terrified there and at risk of euthanasia. He can be a little nervous when adjusting to a new environment but he really came around within 24hrs of his new NY foster home!

What didn’t take him long at all, though, was falling head over heels in love with his foster moms grandmother. He saw her from across the room and lit up! Ran over to her, jumped in her lap, and started giving her kisses! He seems to have an affinity with older woman 😂 Special consideration will be given to a senior woman looking for her next partner in crime! Everyone tell your grandma you’ve got a dog for her 🥰

Copper is crate trained though he has proven himself to not need it, progressing on a leash but would prefer a fenced yard, and potty trained when kept on a structured routine. He LOVES his blankie and cuddles up underneath it every night. He would absolutely prefer to sleep in bed with his new owner! He is cat neutral and dog friendly but can show some resource guarding tendencies over toys/food, so a dog sibling who isn’t easily threatened will be a must.

If you’re interested in adopting Copper, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. Long distance adoptions considered at the adopters expense after a meet and greet in West Falls, NY. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

Meet our Lion King litter! These puppies are around 8-9 weeks old. They were found abandoned in a cardboard microwave box outside of a shelter in Kentucky on a hot summer day. They were recently pulled by our amazing rescue partner Ginger so they didn’t have to grow up in the shelter 💕

Their paperwork says Beagle mixes but with what, your guess is as good as ours! We estimate that they may end up being 40 to 50 pounds once full grown. They are currently in a foster home with cats and that they don’t pay much attention to, dogs of all shapes and sizes that they love, getting used to sleeping in an open crate at night with their littermates and going potty outside. They are super smart and off to a great start, and very happy go lucky and enjoy meeting everyone who will give them attention!

If you’re interested in adopting a puppy, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. They will be spayed/neutered at our vet in Hamburg, NY between 6-8 months of age. This is included in her adoption fee, but a potential adopter will be responsible for getting them to this appointment and must be local enough to do so. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

Holly is a 2-3 year old Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles/Poodle mix) weighing 20lbs who was saved from a puppy mill that is shutting down (yay!) She is very dog friendly, doesn’t care much about cats, and has a pretty outgoing personality despite her past. She can be a bit submissive when meeting new people but is very snuggly!

Holly is crate trained, doing great with potty training when kept on a structured routine, and is picking up on leash walking - she is happy to follow you around in areas that she’s comfortable, but has a tendency to plop down if she gets nervous and may need to be carried in those circumstances.

If you’re interested in adopting Holly, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. She will be spayed at our vet in Hamburg, NY in the coming months. This is included in her adoption fee, but a potential adopter will be responsible for getting her to this appointment and must be local enough to do so. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

07/28/2024

Summer is a 3-4 year old Australian Shepherd weighing around 35lbs. She was rescued from a puppy mill last month and is adjusting so well to “real” dog life! She has a ton of energy and s***k and is so ready for her next adventure!

Summer is great with other dogs, (cats unknown but will cat test and update), crate trained, and potty trained when kept on a structured routine. She is figuring out a leash and for the most part is happy to follow wherever you go, but adventures outside of the yard should happen slowly at first. She would benefit from a fenced yard but will potty on a leash so it’s not a requirement, but she will need a good alternative for a physical outlet without one as she is your typical higher energy Aussie.

If you’re interested in adopting Summer, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. Long distance adoptions considered at the adopters expense after a meet and greet in West Falls, NY. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

We need your help! Yesterday our director spent nearly 13 hours on the road welcoming in 13 new dogs to our rescue family 🤍
2 liters of puppies (4 Beagle mixes, 5 Terrier mixes) and 2 young dogs (a Catahoula mix and a Chi-Weenie) came up all the way from Kentucky, saved by our amazing rescue partner Ginger from euthanasia at various shelters. On the way back, we also picked up 2 adult Miniature Poodle’s who were released from a puppy mill. The male has a hematoma on his ear and will incur extra medical costs on top of our routine vaccinations, bloodwork, and spay/neuter.

We have so many bills quickly approaching for these puppies as well as other mill dogs saved over the last few weeks - vaccinations, fecals, bloodwork, preventatives, dog food. If you can spare a few bucks to help us help our pups, please visit www.rosebudrescue.com/donate
We have also updated our Amazon wishlist to include supplies needed for the new puppies ☺️

None of these dogs are officially available for adoption yet, but you are welcome to get pre-approved by filling out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt as we pair many of our dogs with applicants already on file before listing them as available. We are also still, as per usual, desperate for fosters. We’re pushing our limits for space everyday and if we don’t get more dogs fostered out or adopted we will have to consider closing intake. Potential fosters should also fill out the adoption application and indicate “foster only.”

Thank you in advance for helping us with our mission to get these pups safe and help them find their forevers. Keep your eyes peeled for introduction posts in the near future! 🥰

We have rescued a TON of dogs, so to say one might hold the record for being the sweetest soul we’ve ever saved is pretty bold… but Nona here is exactly that.

None is a 2 year old Collie mix weighing around 40lbs who was rescued along with her puppies from Ohio. It appeared that they were living outside, and she gave her all for those pups. She was emaciated, filthy, covered in fleas and ticks, and Lyme positive. She was absolutely terrified and knew nothing about life besides neglectful treatment, and she still learned to trust those who were trying to help her.

Nona is crate trained, potty trained when on a consistent routine, and walks wonderfully on a leash though she needs a little reassurance in new places. Her foster dad says she stays very close to him on walks and looks to him for comfort when she is unsure. She is cat neutral and pretty scared of dogs so an only dog home would be preferable, but she could probably co-habitate with a completely neutral very easy dog who will give her space. She is VERY affectionate towards people and loves to cuddle and play. She is very mild mannered and living with respectful children shouldn’t be an issue. This dog will steal your heart in an instant any anyone would be incredibly lucky to call her theirs!

If you’re interested in adopting Nona, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. Long distance adoptions considered at the adopters expense after a meet and greet in West Falls, NY. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

This sweet little Corgi Raksha is 3 years old and weighs 20lbs though we would like to see her gain a little. She is the mom of our pups Mowgli and Shanti, and after being spayed and receiving a clean bill of health she is searching for her forever home as well!

Raksha is very dog friendly, curious about cats but doesn’t pay them much attention after an initial greeting. She is crate trained, doing great on potty training when kept on a consistent structured routine, and is still learning about leash walking but is generally happy to follow wherever you go. She is very outgoing and friendly and wants cuddles and attention from everyone she meets!

If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Raksha, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. Long distance adoptions considered at the adopters expense after a meet and greet in West Falls, NY. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

Joplin is STILL searching for his forever home, and we cannot for the life of us figure out why. He is one of our longest residents from the KY hoarding situation. He has a temporary foster home where he is thriving and getting more individual attention, but his foster only has a schedule to accommodate a dog through the summer. We are begging someone to take a chance on this sweet boy!

A note from his foster mom:
“Joplin is a sweet, smart, loyal border collie / shepherd mix who was rescued from a horrible situation in Kentucky where he was chained up outdoors for his entire life until he was rescued! Vets estimate that Joplin is 6 years old based on his teeth, but he has a much younger personality (and could very well be younger!) Joplin has a true border collie personality with his herding instincts, and the intelligence of a shepherd. After a few short days of fostering, Joplin built a strong bond with both myself and my boyfriend. Joplin is cat friendly (and respects being “put in his place” by them lol) and LOVES other dogs. We have nicknamed him “Jumpin Joppy” for the way he happily hops around the house (sometimes even tossing dog toys around to himself)! Joplin can be skittish around new humans (seems he was abused at some point) but this does not deter your ability to do things with him! We’ve brought him to bar patios with live music and he just chills by our feet. Within 6 hours on a new (and scary!) sailboat, Joplin went from being nervous to jumping in the water after me and being able to get on/off the boat confidently on his own. As long as Joplin is around a person he is comfortable with, he will adapt to any situation - especially if there are other dogs around. Jops is the best walking or running buddy - he makes eye contact with you throughout the walk, showing you he is engaged and following your lead. In addition to all of these fabulous qualities Joplin has, he is the BEST snuggler! He sleeps through the night and is crate trained. Oh and despite his gorgeous fur, he does NOT shed nearly as much as it seems!”

If you’re interested in adopting Joplin please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt 🤍

07/15/2024

Axel is a 1.5 year old Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix weighing around 45lbs who never stops smiling! He was surrendered to us about a month ago after getting loose and killing the families chickens 😢

Axel is dog friendly and will match another dogs energy well, but he does enjoy running and wrestling with other playful dogs. For obvious reasons, he will not be a candidate for a home with cats or other small animals. He can be apprehensive when meeting new people, but once he learns to trust you he will be your best friend! He’s just a big baby who hasn’t been exposed to much. Older respectful children should be fine but no kids under the age of 10 for this guy.

Axel is crate trained, potty trained when kept on a consistent routine, and good on a leash but lacks confidence and needs more reassurance in new places. He is very smart and food motivated, and he’s going to make an excellent dog for someone patient who can give him a little guidance in life ☺️

If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Axel, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. Long distance adoptions considered at the adopters expense after a meet and greet in West Falls, NY. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

Another exciting adoption in the books! When Natalie put in an application looking for a pup who would be respectful of their cats, we knew Ducky would be a great fit! He is the 9th KY hoarding dog to find his forever home 🤍 Thank you for loving this sweet boy and welcoming him into your family 🥰

07/13/2024

Say hello to Keller and Beethoven! 🤍
These two 11 week old boys are Australian Shepherds saved from a puppy mill and are unfortunately the result of double merle breeding. Keller is deaf and visually impaired, and Beerhoven is deaf. Despite that, they have a great spark for life and are incredibly smart and ready to start their next adventures! We estimate that their adult weight will be 30-40lbs as we were told they are mini’s.

These puppies are both very dog friendly, cohabitating with cats, and love every person they meet. They are progressing with leash walking and currently sleep together in an open crate inside of a play pen. They sleep through the night without accidents 99% of the time and have never pooped in the pen - potty training should be a breeze!

Beethoven will need to be trained with sign language, and Keller will more than likely need to be trained with touch cues as he navigates his surroundings well but has a hard time focusing on moving objects and may not be able to differentiate signs from one another. PLEASE NOTE, if you do not have prior experience with deaf or deaf/blind dogs, it will be a requirement that you take classes with a trainer specializing in this type of training. We have one local trainer in the Buffalo area who has availability for in person classes, and another trainer who is available for virtual training sessions as well. It will be very important that their adopters set them up for success and learn how to properly communicate with them. You will need to provide proof of enrolling them in training before the 3 week foster to adopt period is over and the adoption is finalized.

These boys will need booster vaccines and will be neutered by our vet in Hamburg, NY so we are only accepting local applicants who can bring them to these appointments at this time. If you’re interested in fostering or adopting these sweet pups, please submit an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have one on file! We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.

We’re a little behind on adoption posts but happy to share that Zen has been officially adopted! 🎉 Thank you so much Adi for welcoming this beautiful girl into your home. We are so happy for you both!!

Zen came up with the last round of KY hoarding dogs and was matched right up with a pre-approved adopter before we even got a chance to post her. We try to do this with several of our dogs, so if there’s a specific breed, age, temperament, energy level, etc. that you’re looking for don’t be afraid to apply today at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt and let us know! Once you’ve been approved, we’ll reach out to you if we save a dog who we think would be the perfect fit 💕

Officially introducing Pogo! 🖤🤍
Pogo is a 2 year old Border Collie mix (Anatolian Shepherd is our best guess to explain his double dew claws) weighing just under 40lbs. He was one of the sickest dogs saved by TLC Rescue from the KY hoarding case back in January. Found living in a small crate inside of a box trailer, completely emaciated (he has more than doubled his weight since), covered in mange. But despite the way he was treated, he is somehow still the sweetest boy and just wants to be loved.

Pogo can be a bit shy at first and needs some reassurance in unfamiliar situations. He is very dog friendly and curious but respectful of cats. He walks great on a leash, is crate trained, and potty trained when kept on a consistent routine. His only requirement in an adopter is love and patience - he will make an incredible dog for someone who can provide that!

If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Pogo, please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt or email us if you already have an application on file. Long distance adoptions considered at the adopters expense after a meet and greet in West Falls, NY. We DO NOT adopt outside of the United States.
