Hello! They call me Queen, but I`m really not as bossy as my name indicates. I`m an adorable (almost) 4 year old pittie type, weighing in around 55 pounds. Yes, I’ve been at the shelter before. Someone adopted me, but they ended up having a heart condition and couldn’t take care of me anymore. Bummer! I learned a lot in that home though, so I’m hopeful it will help find me a new home soon! Other dogs can make me feel nervous and I don`t really want them near me, so I’d be happiest being your one-and-only. In the past year, I did make a couple of dog friends, with a lot of coaching. I did go to a home with a cat before and it was really fun to chase, but the human and cat didn`t appreciate that, so I’m thinking maybe I shouldn’t live with a cat. For the most part, I am equally happy to go for walks, play and sniff outside, or snuggle up to you! If you like to play, I`ll grab a toy and make silly noises while we play `keep away` or `tug`. If you`re not into games, that`s ok too, I`m pretty happy just sniffing around or sitting next to you in the sun. Honestly, I`m a pretty chill dog once you get to know me and I feel safe. I`m thinking that if I can get a little consistency in my life, I`ll be quite the happy family member! If you`ve always dreamed of rescuing a dog and you`re willing to learn alongside me, head to the shelter during open hours for the chance to meet me! You can also call or email ahead, if you`d like to learn more about me before you come. (607)257-1822 x221 adoptions@spcaonline.com (adoptions category: Purple)

As part of the process of selecting an SPCA pet, you will be asked to complete an adoption application. After the application is approved, we ask you to sign an adoption agreement promising to humanely care for your animal. All cats and dogs are altered prior to adoption.
ANIMAL HEALTH AND VACCINATIONS:
All dogs which enter the SPCA receive vaccines for
* canine distemper (Adenovirus Type 2)
* parainfluenza & Parvovirus (DPP)
* leptospira bacterium
* Bordetella brochiseptica (kennel cough) intranasal.
All cats which enter the SPCA receive vaccines for
* Feline Rhinotracheitis (Feline Herpesvirus - I)
* Calicivirus
* Feline Distemper (Panleukopenia)
If pets are old enough, they also are given a rabies vaccination (Required by NY State law). The SPCA has regular veterinary care available for all animals and makes every effort to ensure that the animals are healthy before being made available for adoption. Cats are screened for Feline Leukemia. Dogs and cats all receive general worming medication.
DOG LICENSING:
All canines over six months of age are required, by New York State law, to be licensed before they can leave the shelter. Licensing is administered by the individual towns but can be completed at the SPCA at the time of adoption. The charges for licensing are not refundable if the dog is returned to the SPCA.
AFTER-ADOPTION SUPPORT:
We hope that your new pet will be an enjoyable addition to your household. If you have any questions about pet care, please feel free to ask the shelter staff or your veterinarian. We also have many free pamphlets on caring for your pet available at the SPCA and can provide the names of local resources for training or behavior concerns.
