My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi I’m Eggo!

I am a big 2yo pit bull mix and since being in a home where i can relax and learn how to be a pup i have put a couple pounds on and I was 76 pounds at my last vet visit. I am looking so handsome and my coat is shining. I am very gentle and relaxed most of the time but do like to play with my more energetic foster siblings. I mostly like to bring them a toy as a peace offering so they will stop fighting over the same bone, then typically i’ll curl up with one of my many fleece throw blankets. I am also living with a senior dog being the smart boy i am i just let her take her naps in peace like the queen she is.

sometimes when people come up to the fence i do let them know i am there with a bark or two, who else is going to let mom know amazon is here!!! But for the most part i let everyone else roam the neighborhood without yelling at them.

I love fresh fruits and veggies especially peas and carrots and the occasional blueberry or strawberry. i’m not very picky though i would eat mostly anything!

I am potty and crate trained. I will whine and bark for a minute when first crated but i calm down fairly quickly. I have been sleeping outside of my crate and haven’t had any issues (i really don’t leave the end of the bed once the lights are out). we are currently learning on how to walk on a leash right now (i’m a lot stronger than i think i am and just get really excited to adventure) i am a fast learner especially when there are treats involved. i do know sit and we are working on some other commands as well.

you see when i came to the buffalo animal shelter i wasn’t in the best shape, i was pretty underweight and i had some bad skin issues. i did also have surgery to correct a condition i had called cherry eye and i was such a good boy about wearing my cone the whole time even though my foster mom would giggle at how goofy i looked. it appears that i may have lived through some not so great times, that has never stopped me from being the gentle giant i am, all i want is to give kisses and snuggles to my people and friends. If you think id fit right in, apply at www.buffalounderdogs.com

Additional adoption info

What is your adoption process?

After our dogs are listed for adoption on Facebook and our website, you can apply online for the dog you are interested in meeting.

*Buffalo Underdogs Rescue does not operate on a “first come, first served” basis.

Our primary concern is that the dogs in our care go to the home that is best suited for them.* The foster parent of the dog will view all of the applications that are submitted for their foster dog. They will select the applicants that seem to be the best fit and call their personal and vet references. If your application appears to be the best fit for their foster dog, they will then contact you to set up a meet and greet at your house. They will also discuss the adoption requirements during this initial call.

*Note: All members of the family must be present at the meet and greet.*

If all goes well at the meet and greet, and the foster and family feel that this is the best fit, arrangements will be made to complete the adoption. In order to adopt, you must have an appropriately sized collar (or harness, if required), leash and a dog tag with your telephone number.

What happens at a meet and greet?

For every dog/puppy, we require a meet and greet in your home, with all members of the family, including cats and dogs, present. If you have any dogs, the foster will ask you to bring your leashed dog(s) outside to the edge of your property to meet on “neutral territory”. You will take a quick walk (in the neutral territory), so that the dogs are aware of each other’s presence. After the walk, you can let them sniff each other, and if all goes well, even let them play together if you have a fenced yard (leaving the leashes on). After a short while, if they are still interacting positively, then the foster will take the new dog into your home to see how your dog tolerates the new dog indoors. Sometimes, these relationships take time to build and dogs need time to find their place in the pack. If you or the foster are unsure whether this dog will be a good fit, a second meet and greet can be arranged. This is at the discretion of the foster, as they know their dog’s personality best. If this particular dog isn't a good fit for some reason, that doesn’t mean you cannot adopt a different Underdog!

What is required in order to adopt a dog/puppy from you?

Our fosters will not leave their foster dog in the new adoptive home until the new owners have a leash, collar/harness that fits and dog tag for the new dog with the new owner contact information.

More about this rescue

Who we are....
Buffalo Underdogs Rescue is an all-breed, volunteer-driven nonprofit organization. BUR saves dogs in Western New York as well as from a rural kill shelter in Eastern Texas. We pull dogs from shelters and transport them to their awaiting foster homes, in the Buffalo area. We provide a safe home environment for our dogs while they receive necessary vetting, begin the process of training and socialization and prepare them to become members of a loving family.

We believe with your help, these underdogs can become top dogs!
