Story
Ellie is a 6-year-old mixed breed. She is crate-trained and house-trained. She has a good understanding of manners off and on leash. Ellie is sweet and fun-loving. She loves to give kisses and get lots of pets. Walking, playing fetch, chewing on her bones, and sprinting around the back yard are just a few of her favorite things. Her favorite pass time is looking out the window and watching as people and cars go by (she won’t miss a squirrel, either). She is sweet to people of all ages but would do best in a home without young kids as she prefers predictability. She knows many commands including: sit, stay, place, come, leave it, crate, relax, release, and wait. Ellie has been trained with and without an e-collar. She does resource guard her food, toys, and bones and therefore does not get along well with other dogs. She has never been around cats.

Fairport, NY

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
If this 5-year-old social butterfly were a human, he'd be the ultimate people person. Treats, petting, playtime—Cedar loves them all and has the energy to keep going as long as you do! Cedar has a positive history with other dogs, so we would love to set up a time for him to meet any resident pups you may have in the home to see if they hit it off. His history with cats is unknown, but our counselors can provide guidance on slowly introducing him to feline family members that sets everyone up for success. Could Cedar be the perfect fit for your home? Come visit him! He would love to meet you—you might just find your new best friend.

Dallas

Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 3 yrs 3 mos
Fairport, NY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
If Dallas placed a personal ad, it might read like this: Energetic two-year-old is full of love, seeks new home with lots of opportunities for walks and playtime, treats galore and - of course - plenty of petting. Older children a plus. Canine and feline siblings optional. Dallas is a man of mystery. We asked him about his life before he arrived here at Lollypop Farm, but he's not talking. We do know that he loves people, especially because in his mind people = treats and attention. His love of treats means he'll be a willing pupil when it comes to training. He's already learned to sit and walk on a harness. Additional training will help him bond with his new family while learning the rest of his commands. Training and mental enrichment - puzzle toys and games - along with training and exercise, are all good ways to help him burn off energy, too. We think Dallas will do best in a home where any children are at least twelve years old. We'll have you bring the whole family here to the shelter to meet him so we can be sure everyone fits together well. We don't know how he feels about other animals, so we'd also like to introduce him here to any dogs who are already part of your family to be sure they start off on the right paw. If you're a cat household, ask your counselor for tips on at-home intros to encourage inter-species harmony. Could Dallas be the dog you've been searching for? We'd love to see you here at the shelter to meet him and our other available dogs. Who knows? You might find yourself traveling home with a furry brand-new family member.

Rowan

Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 3 yrs 8 mos
Fairport, NY
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Rowan came to us from another shelter after being found as a stray. His beautiful brindle coat makes him stand out in a crowd, so prepare to get noticed when you walk this big handsome boy through the neighborhood. Read on to discover some of the things we've learned about him since he arrived. Rowan is a high-energy kind of guy - which makes sense, since he's only three years old. Somewhere along the way he learned to walk nicely on a leash, though, which means you can enjoy helping him work off some of that energy by taking long walks together. If you're a hiker or a jogger, even better. He'd love to keep you company on your travels. No worries when the weather's uncooperative and the outdoors seems less than inviting. Puzzle toys, slow feeders and training are great ways to work his brain, and that will burn off energy, too. In fact, positive reinforcement training, using treats and praise, is a great way to bond with a new dog. Rowan is still learning his commands, so you can enjoy teaching him the ins and outs of good-boy behavior while you become buddies for life. We'd like to introduce Rowan to the whole family here at the shelter before he goes home. It might take him a few minutes to realize you're ready to be friends, but keep tasty treats on offer and you'll soon have him literally eating out of your hand. Based on what we've seen at the shelter, we are recommending that Rowan doesn't go home with any other pets - he wants you all to himself! Could Rowan be the dog you've been hoping to meet? Why not hop in the car and take a ride out here to Lollypop Farm to meet him and our other available dogs? You could find yourself heading home with love on the end of a leash.

Story
Meet Winry! Winry has so much love to give and is ready for a new home. This beautiful lady likes to take it slow, as she can be a little shy at first (cheese is the way to her heart). She's looking for a home that will give her the time and space she needs to get comfortable enough to let her amazing personality shine! Winry really enjoys the company of other dogs and cats but gets so excited that she can be a little pushy during play. We feel she would do best in a home that already has some pets (cat or dog!) since they help her feel confident! When she's around her people she also really comes out of her shell and is full of wiggles, kisses, and zoomies! Make sure you have stuffies galore of all sizes cuz this girl knows how to make you laugh while playing, or snuggling up in bed extra cozy while watching her favourite show Bluey (she might even be willing to share the tv with you and eat some doggy Himalayan popcorn on movie night!). Winry enjoys hiking in the woods where she likes to forge new trails and sniff to her heart's content. She’s even working on her recall on a long line so you guys can experience brand new adventures together! If you think you'd be a good fit for our lovely girl Winry, please email Carli at CCOYKENDALL@lollypop.org to inquire about her!
