Rescued Under Federal Fences - RUFF

Bonnie & Clyde - 5 mth old FS and MN Pitt Mixes, don't let the pictures fool ya these too are two tiny tanks along short in stature they are dense little meatballs but oh so sweet! Despite their start at life being abandoned with their dad, covered in mange, they have found their way to health, love, and direction with EARS. With a clean bill of health, new coat has grown back and they are growing into some amazing pups. As true brother and sister they have very opposite personalities. Clyde is more of the quiet intellectual type, sits nicely waiting to be petted, quiet, gently plays with toys of all varieties. Bonnie on the other hand is a sassy smarty pants, who loves to come barreling in for love and snuggles. She loves to rip apart toys, and prefers hard chew toys. She is doing well with commands and playing ball. They are spayed and neutered, crate and potty trained.
Either would be a great addition to the family, what's your preferred flavor of sour patch kid, sweet or sour 🐾

Ms. Robinson aka Diamond - 6yr old FS Cattle Dog Mix. We don't know what her story was before coming to us, but we know she didn't have it easy. She had mange, most of her front teeth are missing, and she was underweight; despite all of this Diamond is as sweet as pie. She has herding dog tendencies and can be pushy with other dogs and all small things (dog selective, no cats). She would be an excellent companion exploring new worlds as she is environmentally sound and takes new places and people in stride. Diamond is food motivated and likes to play with toys, she is crate and house trained. She has put on healthy weight, cleared from the doctor, and a good coat on her now so she is cleared for greener pastures.

Ms. Robinson - 6yr old FS Cattle Dog mix
Shout out to our geriatric girl Ms. Robinson, affectionately called Diamond in the program, not only because of the diamond shaped mark on her head but because the participants truly believe she is a diamond in the RUFF. She is excelling at obedience! Easy to lure and loves to play. Even at her age she enjoys the active life. She walks well on leash. She is unknown with cats and can be pushy with other dogs so a meet would be required.

Remus - 2-3 yr old MN Hound/GSP Mix
Remus has been looking high and low for his family! He has been in foster for over a year, and at no fault of his own. We brought Remus to the program in November to help show others what a good boy he is. He is crate trained and knows basic commands. He is good with other dogs. He enjoys long walks and a good nap to follow. Remus would love an adventurous family where he can spend time indoors and outdoors.
Our wonderful community partners want to see Remus find his home too and have sponsored him for the month of February!

Chester - is a 2yr old MN Beagle mix, Chester is special needs as he is deaf, he does need time to trust people but once he does he won't leave your side. Chester has learned sign language and has also been trained to a vibration collar for "check in" and come. He is as loyal as loveable. Chester would be a wonderful companion in a quiet home since quick movement does startle him. Chester loves to go for rides and would make a great travel buddy!

Ayda - 1 yr old female spayed, Boxer Mix, is an absolute sweetheart with a heart of gold. Although she has engaged a harsh and sorrow filled past, her only scars are having a shy and timid personality. Getting her trust is an endeavor, although that endeavor will pay ten fold, with the peace she will bring to your life. A quiet home will do wonders to bring it the shining calm personality that Ayda is reluctant to show. She is a gentle, loyal soul that will enrich the lives she touches.

After being left and abandoned in a home by someone she trusted to take care of her, to survive until someone spoke up and found her, to be so mistreated by humans and still love so unconditionally will never cease to amaze me.
Zora found herself in the caring arms of Empire Animal Rescue Society (EARS) and today in the arms of her new family, we are beyond happy for Zora, happy adoption day!

Archie 🐾

No April Fool's here

Archie is my feature pup for April. Not only has Archie been in foster care for waayy to long but he also is one of several dogs that are part of a prison program that EARS has gotten up and running.

Rescued Under Federal Fences - RUFF connects pups with prisoners for an amazing outcome. Archie has worked so hard to learn basic obedience through this program.

Archie is a 2 year old husky/boxer mix and would do well in an active structured home. Because of his size and energetic personality he would do best in a home with no young children. Archie would also do best as an only dog or with a non-dominate female. Archie would make a great hiking or camping buddy.

If you would like to learn more about Archie or apply to adopt go to empirerescue.org..... and remember I will be sponsoring the adoption fee for the perfect applicant throughout the month of April

Gracie is available for adoption through Empire Animal Rescue Society (EARS)! Read more about her here: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/gracie-60100491/ny/salamanca/empire-animal-rescue-society-ny1032/

Gracie and her friends would love to have some training treats sent their way! Using food as a reward is highly effective and is part of the reason this pretty pup so easily picked up on the skills needed to pass her test. Their wishlist can be found below! 😊 https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3NABPS71FYR2V?ref_=wl_share

Beginning late in 2019, after 6 years of planning and advocating EARS began an amazing partnership with a nearby prison to implement an inmate/foster dog program with the primary goal being more dogs saved, socialized, well trained, and subsequently adopted to their forever homes. This program has now has an animal behaviorist involved, and we could not be happier. We have graduated multiple classes of dogs. Each dog must master basic obedience, (many go on to more advanced levels), and must pass the Canine Good Citizen Test in order to graduate from the program. The graduate dogs are all primed to go on to even more training as therapy or service dogs, but they also make excellent companion animals to just the average family.
