Story
Say hello to Ozzie, a seven month-old, 40-pound Golden Retriever-Aussie mix. With the face of a handsome little lion, Ozzie is a bundle of energy who loves two things in particular: attention and chasing after balls. Ozzie has some typical puppy behaviors that will need to be addressed with training, which makes him unlikely to be a good candidate for a family with small children at this point. He is cat-tested and may be fine with another dog. Ozzie is neutered and available at the shelter.  Here is the adoption process:   To adopt an animal you must complete an application and be approved. There is a $60 fee for any animal which needs to be cash or a check - NO CREDIT CARDS. If the animal is not spayed or neutered, there is a $35 deposit which will be returned upon proof of surgery. All dogs must be licensed before leaving the Shelter. Please note that public offices that issue dog licenses are not open on Saturdays and Sundays.

Story
Meet Scratchy — The Sweet, Soft-Spoken Island Girl Scratchy had a rough start to life. She was abandoned as a tiny puppy in Jamaica until a kind local man scooped her up and brought her to Negril Pup Rescue, where she finally found safety, food, and people who adored her. After Hurricane Melissa damaged ther rescue home, Scratchy bravely joined the relief flight to the Northeast to find her home. At 41 pounds and around 4 years old, Scratchy is healthy, vaccinated, fixed, and officially ready for good things only from here on out. Scratchy LOVES people — in that soft, gentle, “I would like to sit beside you quietly and admire your existence” kind of way. She can be shy at first, but not for long.. and once she trusts you, she gives the sweetest, most grateful affection. She's great with cats (they appreciate her polite energy), and she is wonderful with other dogs! Scratchy is the definition of a gentle soul. She’s survived abandonment, hurricanes, and the chaos of rescue life… and now she’s so ready for a loving family who can give her the calm, kindness, and stability she’s been waiting for. Adopt Scratchy, and you’ll gain the sweetest island companion — one who knows the value of love and will cherish every moment of it. Our adoption fee is $400 and unless otherwise stated all dogs and puppies have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, 4DX tested(if age appropriate), Put on heartworm/flea/tick prevention, age appropriately vaccinated, dewormed, vet checked and flown from Puerto Rico.

Story
Sadie is a great dog considering when she was a puppy. When I first saw her she was about 10 weeks old and the people who had her were kicking swearing and come to find out the young children were kicking and hitting her. It took 2 weeks for to trust me enough to pet her without biting me . She does get along with the other dog we have but she growls and bites her. I have tried to curve that behavior no success. She bit at my grand baby twice . I love her but I can’t take the chance she bites her and scares or worse . She comes with a crate and would be perfect for a adult couple because she really is a dog that loves to snuggle I know she’s a dr.jeckle and Mr hide with kids and other pets thanks

Introducing: Lucy Lou! 😍🩶 We met this sweet girl for the first time this week and she is an absolute dream come true. Here's what we know about her so far: 3 years old 3️⃣ She knows sit 🤓 She is so gentle & takes treats nicely ❤️ She enjoys play time 🧸 She LOVES being around people 🥰 Gives the best hugs and kisses 💋 She has the best ears! 👂🏻 Update 10/1/25 ~ Lucy Lou wa a spayed on this date and also she had bilateral entropian repair surgery done to both eyes. All went well and this should prevent her from having to undergo a lifetime of eye drops. So wish our girl Lucy Lou a speedy recovery, and hopefully someone will welcome her soon into their loving home. If you may be interested in adding Lucy Lou to your family, here is a link to our application that you can print out, complete and email (ocadoptions@aol.com) or text (585-752-2588) back to us as a jpg. http://www.friendsoftheocas.org/uploads/3/4/7/0/34700641/interest_application.pdf.

Story
Indigo is approximately 2 years old and another stray that was never claimed. We are still learning about her, but she seems to love people but can be very dog selective with her submissive personality. Also at this point, we would suggest older respectable kids for Indigo. More information will be coming but give us a call or send us a text if you have any questions or if you would like to apply to make Indigo a part of your family.
