UPDATE: FOSTER FOUND! But there is always a constant need for fosters, so please still apply with us if it interests you!❤️

🚨 🚨🚨SOS🚨🚨 EMERGENCY FOSTER NEEDED‼️

We have a dog arriving TOMORROW on transport that HAS NOWHERE TO GO‼️‼️ The foster that originally committed to this sweet girl is no longer able to take her in so we need to find her a new foster home to avoid her going back to TX!

Here is what we know:
- Female
- 2 years old
- 104lbs
- Friendly with all sizes of dogs! (Even littles!)
- Gorgeous Mastiff mix
- Cat friendly
- Potty trained

There is a possibility that this sweetheart may be pregnant- but we do not know for sure!!

We will get her to the vet within the first few days to see if she is truly pregnant. If she is, we will find a maternity foster if you are not able to keep her.

All costs are covered by us! Help us keep this sweet girl safe in NY.

We have absolutely nowhere for Mona to go. PLEASE HELP‼️ She doesn’t deserve this🙏😩

Oakley
18lbs
7 months old
Neutered 1/6/25
Aussie Mix

Oakley may be small but he has a big personality! He loves to be around people and other dogs big or small. While playing with other dogs he can be very vocal and does like to get up close and personal in their private areas so would do well with dogs who don’t mind. He currently lives with a cat sister who he is pretty curious about but doesn’t understand why she won’t play with him so would be best with a dog savvy cat. Potty training is still a work in progress but he already picked up on using the bell at the front door! Little man is getting used to the cold ❄️ and does best outside with a sweater on. He is gaining confidence on walks with his two foster brothers and is getting better with wearing a collar and being lead on a leash. He is doing amazing with crate training during the work day and through the night when next to his dog brothers. He is a great co-pilot in the car (might get a little car sick but unsure) but does love a plain timbit for his travels. He loves when his foster mom makes his kibble extra special with a splash of water and loves to use slow feeders and food puzzles of any kind. Oakley loves to cuddle up and get snuggles, especially after a long day of play and walks. His foster parent’s favorite things about him are his two different colored eyes and his big ears ♥️

If you are interested in Oakley, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved.

Sushi
Shiba Inu/Corgi mix
Female (spayed)
Approximately 30 pounds
1-2 years old

☑️ Has a sweet tooth 🦷
☑️ Kisses on the first date 👅
☑️ Prances instead of walks

Sushi, AKA Sushi Queen 🍣👑, is a beautiful, energetic, Southern gal ready for her furever home.

Sushi is potty trained (piddles when she gets really excited) and crate trained. She loves all people, and while she is not currently in a home with other pets, it has been said that she is friendly with other animals. She does not react to other dogs on walks (she only tries to chase squirrels, bunnies, and deer 😂). There doesn’t seem to be a mean bone in her body, but she might be better with kids school-aged and up because she likes to play nibble and needs to learn her manners when it comes to jumping.

Sushi settled in quickly, not taking long at all to decompress. She is a very sweet & happy girl who tends to lack personal space. She loves to play with her toys, go for walks, and romp through the snow in her foster family’s fenced-in yard. She will be better suited in an active family or presumably even in a multi-pet home where she has a playmate.

Sushi’s foster mom’s favorite thing about her is her pretty face, soft coat, & wet kisses.

If you are interested in Sushi, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved.

Hudson
15 pounds
Lab- hound mix
D.O.B. 9/14/24
Neuter date 2/4/25

Meet Hudson, the ultimate cuddle companion! 🐾❤️

This adorable puppy is ready to snuggle his way into your heart.
As a gentle soul, Hudson is perfect for families with kids. He loves to play, but he's also happy to curl up for a snooze-a-thon. 🛋️ His favorite pastime? Napping after a play session, of course! 😴

Hudson is a quick learner, and he's already making progress with potty training. He's crate trained, sleeps quietly through the night, and will even use p*e pads when needed. 🚽

While Hudson gets along swimmingly with dogs, he's a bit afraid of cats at this time.

If you're looking for a low-key, loving companion who'll keep you company on the couch, Hudson is your perfect match! 📺❤️

Ready to welcome this snuggle buddy into your life? 🐾💕

Reese
3 years old- 9/19/19
58lbs
Male
Pitt bull/Terrier mix

Hi! My name is Reese, affectionately called Reesey Boy and Reeses Pieces since I’m as sweet as the candy! 🍬 Not only am I sweet as can be, my foster family tells me all the time that I’m the bestest good boy AND I’m also a great cuddle buddy 🤗 basically, I’m a real catch 😉 I like when my foster mom takes me on adventures to the pet store, Lowe’s and most of all WALKS! 🐾 🐾 I’m pretty good on a leash too! ✅ I walk best with an easy walk harness. I do pull a tiny bit as I get pretty excited when I see a nice fire hydrant or mailbox 📫 but with consistent walks I’m learning quickly that there’s no need to rush.

I have foster siblings- 2 hoomans (ages 11 and 14) and 1 doggo who looks just like me! The young hoomans make me a little unsure, but they are understanding and patient with me so I am confident we will become fast friends. I’ve even given out a few kisses to them 😚 I’m opening up more and more every day as I become more and more comfortable. My fur foster sibling is high energy, but that’s okay, I still like her. 🐶 I like it best when we run outside together and other than my favorite ball, I don’t mind when she plays with my toys 🦴

I’m house trained 🏠 and working on learning that it’s okay to rest in my crate when my foster family is at work or overnight 😴 My foster mom has to give me continuous reassurance that my crate isn’t a scary place and that I won’t be in there forever. Even then, I get a little anxious and cry/bark and lick my paws until I am let out. I am good when out of my crate overnight and have no problem sleeping on my own cozy bed 🛏️. I’m a pretty smart boy 📚 so I feel confident that with some patience and a little bit of time, I can learn any routine my forever family and I will have when it comes to using a crate or not.

I haven’t met any cats so I’m not sure how I’d feel about them. I’d do best in a home with no kids or older kids who will be gentle and patient with me as I am still unsure of them. Whether I’d be living with another dog- maybe one who is a little on the mellow side and not the Alpha type- or being any only pup, I’ll be happy just to love and be loved 😊 Spending time with you would make me the happiest! We can go on hikes ⛰️ , or play fetch out back-hopefully in a TALL fenced in yard 🎾 I sometimes get a little too curious about what’s in the neighbors’ yards 🙊 My foster family’s favorite things about me are my thousand watt smile 🤩 and my top notch cuddles❤️ I’m just a sweet and lovey dovey boy looking for a patient, understanding family of my own to give all my love and cuddles to. 🥰

Theodore
Male neutered
Lab hound mix
DOB: 3/27/24
Weight: 53 lbs

Hey y'all my name is Theodore. My brother and I heard that Buffalo is a great place to make friends.🧑‍🤝‍🧑Well my brother Simon and I hitched a ride from Clark county.🚐
I must say it's a bit colder here but that's okay.
I currently live with my foster mom and 2 fur sisters, and 1 small fur brother. Oh and also should mention a little furball called a cat🐱. I'm still trying to figure out what he is but he just stays away from us. My siblings are full of energy and we have zoomie races in the big fenced in yard.
My foster mom takes me on walks and I make sure I wait for her and don't pull.
I love toys,treats, and yes food. I will even wait for the cheese tax🧀 while you're cooking. My foster says I'm a gentle giant but somewhat clumsy.
I'm shy since this is my first time in a home, so I need patience and time.
Currently I am learning to trust humans so don't think I can't be your best friend. I'm house trained and will go in my crate but prefer to be at your side. My favorite toy is chew toys it helps me relax besides being with you. If you have another dog they can help with my learning. Just look into my 👀 eyes, and you will see I am a gentle giant.

He may give you those sweet puppy dog eyes when cuddling in bed but Nigel has been great with crate training and will sleep all night long without a p*ep or an accident!
He loves nothing more than to play with his toys and romp around in the backyard🤍 Nigel travels fantastic as a co-pilot in the car and loves to go on an adventure! Nigel is not all fun and games he does love to snuggle up for a good movie on the couch🥰

Eagle
Mixed breed
32 pounds
Spayed
D.O.B. 8/2024 (shelter guessed this we feel she’s older)

This majestic eagle in disguise is ready to soar into your life and heart. Eagle has already mastered the art of relaxation. After a brief “getting-to-know-you” stress fest she’ll transform into the epitome of calm.
After two weeks in foster care she’s shown her family the following:
Eagle is a -
Nap connoisseur
Toy enthusiast (she especially loves a few minutes with her bone)
Expert independent player
Yard runner solo or with her canine siblings
Feline friendly and respectful
Gentle treat taker
Crate sleeper
Couch snuggler
Her foster family thinks she may be older because her behavior is so good and she can hold a long time with no accidents. She doesn’t appear to be a puppy.
Her family loves her signature moves: a long content sigh as she settles in for a nap and her attempts at yoga. When she wakes up from one of her naps she does a lengthy downward facing dog!
If you’re looking for a low-key loving companion set up a meet and greet with Eagle.

If you are interested in Eagle, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved.

Asia
Female, spayed
6 months
42lbs
Pittie mix

Where are my pittie puppy lovers at?! Asia is a dream puppy who just arrived from
Alabama.

⭐️sleeps perfect in her crate
⭐️loves people of all ages
⭐️loves other dogs
⭐️cat friendly, her foster in AL had a cat
⭐️walks well on a leash

Asia is an A+ snuggler and has the perfect amount of puppy energy and chill, she’s so well behaved I forget she’s a puppy sometimes, until she finds the slippers! She sleeps through the night with no accidents in her crate. Asia is doing well with potty training and learning to alert us when she needs to go out. She is very food motivated so it makes training very easy and is easily redirected when needed. When she’s not snuggling and napping she loves to play some fetch and chew on all puppy toys.

If you are looking for a furry companion that will never leave your side and has all the love to give Asia is your girl!💞

If you are interested in Asia, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved.

Mexia (Mex, Mexi)
Est DOB: 7/15/2024
Breed: pitty mix
About 35-40 lbs currently at ~6 months

Mexia came from Alabama to Buffalo, along with two sisters that also moved here as well. Now that she’s been here for a week, it’s time for her first employ-er…foster review!

Clear Strength
- cuddle game is STRONG! She loves to curl up on the couch in the evenings, bonus if it’s with a human, and snooze for hours. ***we are not responsible for hours wasted on the couch with this cuddly baby***
- Dog friendly - she would be a perfect addition to a family that already has a dog- she is fostered with two bigger dogs, she is very submissive to both dogs but lets them know she wants to be their friend.
- Cat friendly - fostered with a cat and poses no threat. She’s curious and wants to play with the 🐱, but no concerns with being together with the cat.
* little kids are an unknown, but we can’t imagine she wouldn’t love them too.

At Standard
- Housebreaking - She’s only had a couple accidents. As long as the hoomans are paying attention - how long since she went out, water and food consumption, she knows what to do outside! Regularly being let out will help this become a clear strength.
- Crate - she sleeps at night in the crate, and sometimes crated during the day. She’s mostly quiet in the crate all night, a few whimpers at the beginning. Enjoys listening to music on Alexa at night.

Needs improvement
- All the standard puppy stuff - chewing on things she shouldn’t, nibbling on humans on occasion, learning commands. Nothing out of the ordinary for a 6 month old puppy.

Coop
Male
Lab/Hound mix
3 months

I’m Coop! I came from Alabama with my brothers to find my forever home. I’m just a baby and a typical puppy so I am taking in my surroundings and just learning the ropes! I go potty outside and am learning to sleep in my crate. I live with a grown dog and two cats! I am starting to come out of my shell and play with them all! I would love little kids, too! I’m a big snuggle bug and love to sleep on a warm lap. Being with my humans helps me feel reassured!

Knox ❤️💙
Male (Neuter Date 2/5)
Age: 3.5 months (estimated DOB 9/14/24)
Lab/Hound mix (best guess)
15 pounds

Dog friendly 🐶
Expect he would be ok with cats based on his age and demeanor 🐱
Good with kids 👧
Good on leash on walks with his foster siblings ✅
Food motivated 🦴
Good in the car 🚘

Knox is working on:
Potty training - he’s doing well with frequent trips outside and knows he’ll get a treat after he goes 🚽. He’s learning that when he rings the bell, he’ll be taken outside.
Crate training - he would probably prefer to sleep snuggled up with his humans, but does well in his crate at night and is now quiet all night until he lets you know he has to go outside in the morning💤. He’s good with going in the crate when his humans leave the house or need to be on a work meeting.

Don’t miss out on this gem 💎. Knox is the sweetest puppy rescued from Alabama with his siblings. He is a relaxed puppy who loves snuggling up with a human to chill/nap after some playtime or a walk. When he curls up on your lap and snuggles in, it’s impossible not to fall in love💕.

He enjoys playing with his foster siblings. He likes hanging with his foster mom in her office during the day playing with some toys or snoozing 😴. His favorite is napping on her lap while she works 🥰.

Knox would do well in a home with or without other dogs. With his gentle, loving personality, he would be especially great for a family with young kids 👧👦, but really anyone would be lucky to welcome this guy into their home 🥰. If you’re looking for a happy pup who enjoys playing, but especially loves to snuggle up with his human companions, Knox is the pup for you.

If you are interested in Knox, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved.
