Story
🐾 Meet Chunk! 🐾 Chunk is a just-over-a-year-old Pit mix with a big personality and even bigger potential. He’s full of energy, opinions, and goofy charm—and he’s looking for a home where he can be the center of attention. Chunk is smart and eager to learn, but he’s still working on his manners and would thrive with a confident adopter who can continue his training. He’s got lots to say, especially when he’s excited or trying to get your attention—and he loves his toys, especially ones he can toss, chase, or chew. He needs a home with no other animals and no young kids, where he can have structure, patience, and time to grow into the amazing dog we know he can be. If you're looking for a dog with personality, playfulness, and a whole lot of heart, Chunk might be your guy! 🐶❤️ Visit the shelter Monday – Saturday from 12pm-3pm to meet our adoptable dogs.

Story
🐾 Meet Baloo! 🐾 This 7-year-old Golden/Great Pyrenees mix is the definition of a gentle giant! Baloo is friendly, sweet, and loves people—especially calm, older kids who give him space to be his easygoing self. Baloo can be independent at times, but he also enjoys affection and will happily hang out by your side while you relax at home. He knows some basic commands, gets along with some dogs (case by case), and is always up for a chill walk or just some quiet companionship. Sure, he can be a little stubborn, but his loyalty, big heart, and calm personality more than make up for it. Baloo is ready to find a loving home where he can be himself—and he might just steal your heart in the process! ❤️ Dog meets: Mon-Sat 12pm-3pm. *Baloo qualifies for a discounted adoption for Saratoga County residents 60+.

Story
Meet Molly! Molly is a 1½-year-old female with a shy but friendly personality. She may take a little time to warm up, but once she does, she’s incredibly affectionate, playful, and eager to connect with her people. She’s a smart girl who loves toys and treats and enjoys staying busy. Molly does well with other animals, though she can get a bit excitable around dogs — slow introductions help her shine. With people, she’s sweet, loving, and enjoys being close once she feels comfortable. Molly would do best with a patient adopter who understands that good things take time. In return, she’ll reward you with lots of affection, playtime, and love. Dog meets: Mon-Sat 12pm-3pm.

Story
Meet Mr. Mushroom, an adult dog with a heart full of love and a spirit brimming with energy. He's a sweet, friendly fellow with a curious nature that's as endearing as his goofy playfulness. Mr. Mushroom is always ready to explore new environments and make the most of every moment. His energetic disposition makes him a perfect companion for those who enjoy active lifestyles. However, he may do best as the only animal in the home and without young children, as he can easily become overstimulated. Despite his quirks, Mr. Mushroom's lovable personality shines through, making him a wonderful friend and companion. His adoption would mean a lifetime of laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. Give Mr. Mushroom the loving home he deserves, and he'll reward you with unwavering loyalty and affection. Visit the shelter Monday – Saturday from 12pm-3pm to meet our adoptable dogs.

So Bella is an amazing dog a real sweet heart I do have a male that getting older and they do get along but she can be very rough with him and he get back issues and he doesnt fight back or let her know when enough is enough. She is extremely affectionate, love to cuddle, fine with anyone as long as she is introduced in the house., she might be fine with a male that is more dominant or probably best she is the only dog.
