Story
Kenya is 9 years young, full of energy, and loves splashing in mud puddles. One of PHS's long-time residents, Kenya is also a good girl looking for her forever home! As she is both animal and child aggressive, Kenya is looking for a single pet home with someone looking to remain child free. She can be people selective and territorial of her area with new people, so PHS believes Kenya would most likely do best in a quiet home with limited visitors. According to a previous owner, Kenya is crate trained and slept in her crate at night.Building trust with Kenya is the key element for finding her forever home. Kenya will need someone with loads of patience but someone who understands when to stand firm. Oh, and treats. Kenya will need someone with lots of treats. Multiple meet and greets may be required for Kenya, as she can sometimes take a little bit of time to truly warm up to someone. Once Kenya decides you're her friend, it is a lifetime honor. Due to her issues with children and other animals, she must go to a home with the understanding that Kenya must always been on-leash, unless in a fenced in area. This girl loves nothing more than water to swim in and balls to chase after. When she's nice and tired, Kenya has been known to settle in for cookies and some cuddles. PHS knows to some people, Kenya may seem like a difficult dog. However, Kenya has proven to be a volunteer favorite - PHS is confident that Kenya will make an amazing, forever addition to the right home.Interested in adoption? Contact PHS 315-265-3199

Story
Looking for a pit-mix smile to brighten your day? Come meet Nova. She's friendly, equally ready to flop down for a belly rub or do zoomies. Good-natured with everyone she meets - as long as they have two legs: she needs to be an ONLY PET in the house. She's got basic good manners and is ready to learn more. She does know she's the cutest thing you've ever seen, and when asked to "sit" she's happy to do a miniature version of a dancing circus horse. But she's learning the version of "sit" where her butt actually touches the ground and stays there, and we're working on "down." She does have a bad habit of dashing through doors, and if it's a door to the outside she's off and running. We're working on teaching her to wait at doors, but she needs a yard that is fenced so if she gets out ahead of you she's in a contained space.A lot of sweet dog in a pretty small package! Nice dog : )Interested in adoption? Contact PHS 315-265-3199
