You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Nurse is ready to find her furever home! She was rescued from a hoarding case where she was living in dire straights, and without human interaction. But now she’s in a foster home learning all about the kindness of humans, comfy dog beds, and the joys of sliced cheese! Nurse is fast friends with all dogs, male and female, large and small. Dogs are clearly where she finds comfort, and she will need at least one other dog in her furever home. This playful pup prefers being outside, and her furever home should have a 6’ fenced-in yard so she can run and play with her doggie pals. Nurse pays no attention to the indoor cats, and avoids the outdoor kitties. She doesn’t dig or bark, choosing to spend her time romping with her canine buddies, or finding a nice spot in the grass for a nap. This gorgeous gal is learning quickly, and is already house trained, crate trained, and rides well in the car. She is timid around humans, as she just doesn’t know much about them, having grown up in a sea of only dogs. She is curious about people though, just too shy to approach just yet. We can’t wait to see her blossom in rescue and come out of her shell! With time and patience, this quiet, calm and independent pup will soon learn that humans come with snacks, hands equal pets, and that belly rubs are awesome!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102
Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
