Story
Hi, I’m Peaches! I’m the sweetest two year old American Bully looking for my forever home! I do well with other dogs and all humans. Since I’m pretty strong, I would probably do best in a home with no small animals or children. I was running at large on the streets of Lackawanna until some good samaritans took me in and called animal control and I have been hanging out here ever since. While I enjoy spending time with these humans (especially when they give me kongs, boy do I love me a good Kong) I would really prefer a home of my very own. I haven’t had much exposure to the outside world prior to my break out so the world can be kind of scary to me. I would do best in a home where my new humans would have patience with me and give me the opportunity to realize that the world isn’t that scary of a place after all. If you think you could be that person/family, get in touch with my current agents either through here or give them a call at 716-827-6412.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Beautiful Bria is ready for her new home! Bria came to us from Texas with her sister Baylor.  We are not sure what her mix is, possibly Chihuahua and she weighs around 14-15 pounds.   Bria and Baylor had a rough start before being rescued. They were found as strays, wandering the streets, pregnant, and also tested positive for heartworm. Fortunately, our partners in Texas took them in. They received heartworm treatment in Texas and they will require monthly heartworm prevention for the rest of their lives. Bria is an absolutely delightful little girl! She might be a bit shy at first, but once she gets to know you, her sweet and loving personality really shines through. Bria loves to be with other dogs and enjoys cuddling up next to them or just hanging out together. She is playful too but snuggling is her super power! She would be happy to have a furry friend in her new home to share adventures with! In her foster home, Bria seems to be housetrained, and having a fully fenced yard is a big plus—she adores sunbathing in it! Just remember that she might need a little time to adjust to her new surroundings and routine. Bria is working on her leash skills, and with some patience and encouragement, she’ll be walking right by your side in no time. She’s also crate trained and has a lot of fun with her toys and chewables. This calm girl really enjoys the cozy comfort of home, whether it’s snuggling on a soft bed or lounging on the couch. Bria is hoping to find a laid-back family who will love her and provide a safe, loving environment. She can’t wait to meet you! Bria is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and treated for heartworm.  Her adoption fee is $450 We require that a martingale collar be used at the time of adoption. If you do not have a martingale collar, you can purchase one from Pixie Mamas for an additional $10. This requirement is in place to ensure the dog's safety and security.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 2, 2025, 1:56 pm

Story
Hi, I’m Lila — a sweet, happy girl who’s always ready to make a new friend! I’m super approachable and love being around people. I`m always excited when it’s time to leash up and go for a walk . Once we’re out and about, I love exploring new sights and smells. I’m very food- and treat-motivated, which makes training fun and easy. I’m also interested in toys and enjoy playtime, but what I love most is getting attention and affection from people. I’m confident in new environments and settle down nicely once I’ve had some time to explore. If you’re looking for a loving, social companion who’ll bring warmth and happiness into your home, I’d love to meet you! Click PLAY to watch my video !

Story
Hi, I’m Storm E Girl! I’m a beautiful lady with a soft heart and a gentle spirit. I may take a little time to warm up to new people and new places, but once I feel safe, you’ll see my sweet personality shine. I love being outside — the fresh air helps me relax, and I’m happiest exploring the world at my own pace. I walk very nicely on a leash, and treats definitely help me build trust (I think they’re pretty great!). I’m looking for a calm, patient home where I can settle in slowly and be someone’s whole world. I do best as the only dog in the house, so I can bond closely with my person. If you’re the kind of person who understands that trust takes time—and you’re looking for a loyal companion to share quiet moments, outdoor adventures, and a lifelong bond—I think we could be a perfect match.
