Mocha is a sweet dog but he is a lot of dog for us. He has pit bull in him which was not revealed when we got him as a puppy. He will be a great dog for the right owner. He just just is not a good fit for our family!

Story
My Dog Luna, was adopted 3 years ago, she had been abused from a previous home and doesn't like males. She is very protective of children and treats them as her babies. She is sweet, and likes to be treated like a pri cess. She struggles with being scared sometimes and she reacts poorly when she gets that way. I Need her to be in a good home as, now ,my children are at an age where they are very loud, and zoom around a lot. Luna needs a calm home and someone to treat her as the princess I have these past few years. Feel free to text me at 585-474-3108

Story
This is Batman, he is a Shih Tzu mix. He has a great personality, is very loyal and loves people. He loves to play with other dogs! He has been an inside outside dog but would do well inside with a little training. I'm only rehoming him due to my new living situation and time constraints :( He is about 2 1/2 years old

Athena is a happy and energetic dog. She needs a family who can provide her with plenty of love, attention and exercise. She would love to have a fenced yard to roam and play in. She would thrive in a home where dogs are cherished and cared for. She knows how to sit, stay and come when called. She may needs extra patience as she adapts to her new home.

Story
Sweet, mellow tempered dog who loves to play. She will play rough with other dogs but is not aggressive. Loves to run. She loves cuddles and will want to sleep on your bed with you. If you don't have round handles on your doors you will need something to keep your bedroom door shut, otherwise she opens the door, pulls back your blanket and sheets and will sleep on your pillows. Responsive to her name, nicknames, commands, and cues. She understands not to pass the yellow grids on the sidewalk and will go when you say "cross" and stop at "wait". She pulls the leash but has gotten better. I have little time for her, which has caused her to take special interest in the sliding glass door where she'll bark at neighbors passing by. When we go on our daily walk she has a lot of energy, so she pulls, wants to smell everything, and does zoomies in the small dog park. I would like for her to have a yard to play in. She's not sensitive to the cold, but will need coconut oil for her dry skin.

Story
Say hi to Luna! Luna is an adorable smooth fox terrier mix who is approximately 4-1/2 years old & was sadly bounced around a fair amount at a young age. She currently weighs about 35 lbs, is tall & wiry, & boy can she jump! This little gal can jump five to six feet in the air from a stand still, & she is also extremely fast! We think Miss Luna would make a great agility dog if someone was willing to put in the time to work with her. Still a youngster, she is very playful, full of energy & smart as a whip! Luna loves spending time in the yard, running & playing both with the other dogs & by herself. She has a great time playing ball all by herself at times! Luna is a very sweet girl who loves everybody, especially kids! She also gets along well with other dogs. She is not a dominant personality, but is also not super submissive; she falls pretty solidly in between & easily submitted to our pack elders, but she isn’t afraid to correct a dog she thinks isn’t acting right! Luna is food motivated & LOVES treats! She is housebroken, crate-trained, & good on leash. She is also fully vetted (spayed, de-wormed, heartworm negative, up-to-date on all vaccinations) including microchip with lifetime registration. This silly, affectionate little girl is sooo ready for her forever home after being in our rescue for over three years for no good reason! A securely fenced yard & a young playful sibling are required for Luna’s adoption. Adoption fee is $150. Verbal interview, home check, vet reference & adoption contract required.
