Story
Meet Marley! 10-Year-Old • Female • Shih Tzu / Poodle Mix (Shi-Poo), 18 lbs MARLEY is a sweet-spirited senior FLOOF who’s ready to find her forever lap! At 10 years young, this gentle girl is the perfect blend of easygoing and outdoorsy—she’s happy to chill at home by your side, but she also enjoys long walks and hikes in nature (on leash, of course—those squirrels are very interesting!). She’s fully housetrained, walks like a pro, and travels well—whether it’s by car, train, or bus, Marley is a calm, quiet companion. She gets along with most dogs but isn’t a fan of big dogs who get too pushy in her space. She’s fine with kids, seems OK with cats, and really just wants to be where you are. Marley is more of a “people dog” than a social butterfly with other pups, and she would love to be your one and only. She’s a total lovebug, happiest when she’s in your lap or getting belly rubs. With her medium energy and mellow vibe, she’s the ultimate companion for someone who wants a loving shadow and a loyal best friend. Marley is a lovable FLOOF who deserves to be spoiled in her golden years—and she’ll return the favor with endless love.

Story
9 yr old Shih Tzu who is always looking for snuggles, cuddles, and attention. She is extremely sweet and just wants someone who can give her the attention she desires. She was recently diagnosed with diabetes and requires insulin injections twice a day, after eating. We are facing some issues with urination that my be due to her diabetes, but have found that with regular walking and timely administration of medication, it is better controlled. Sophie needs a loving home with an owner/owners who have the time and energy to dedicate to her and her care management.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet little Trixie! Trixie is a tiny little senior lady who traveled from Texas to find her home in WNY. See in Texas a dog like her would be overlooked simply due to her age. But we know that Buffalo loves their senior dogs, so we had to had help find a forever home. Trixie is a 10-12 year old shihtzu mix. Our best guess would be possibly mixed with Maltese. She has the Maltese howl when she talks to you. To get her to howl and come running, make sure to call her “pretty pretty girl”. She knows she's beautiful!    Trixie is everything we love about a senior dog. She is very laid back. All she seems to want is to take leisurely walks through the neighborhood, lie on the back of the couch or in a bed, and basically be anywhere you are. Trixie is crate trained, although a crate is not necessary for her. Trixie is perfectly content to sleep the day away in her bed while you are at work. She does appear to be mostly housebroken, but will not ask to go out, you will need to take her out regularly. Overnight, she will sleep in bed right up against you all night, until it’s time to get up and go outside. One thing we have noticed is that right after she eats, Trixie will poop. It is best to watch her eat and then take her right out. If you wait even 5 minutes, she will go in the house. That seems to be her only downfall.    When her foster family comes home, Trix is very excited to see them. She will run to them and ask to be picked up. That tail will wag so fast, you can barely see it. Trix is a total lap dog. Trixie does excellent in the car, so if you like to travel, Trixie is the perfect co-pilot for you.    Trixie gets along well with everyone she meets, dogs, cats, men, and women. She has not been exposed to small children at this point but we don’t think it would be an issue. Simply because of her age, slightly older kids (8+) might be better for her.    Trixie is heartworm negative and has been given a 12 month Pro Heart injection for heartworm prevention. It appears as though she has had a dental at some point and her teeth look great. We believe that she is spayed and can see what we think is a spay scar. There is no tattoo so we can’t be positive. The only way for us to know for sure is to open her up for exploratory surgery. At her age, we would prefer not to do that, since it can be traumatic for senior dogs.    If you think Trixie is a match for you, please make sure to apply today. She’s a great little girl who deserves a loving retirement home where she can get all the snuggles and treats she could possibly want.  Trixie is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm.  Her adoption fee is $400Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 17, 2025, 11:50 am

Hi, I’m Oreo! I may take a little time to warm up, but once I do, I’m all sweetness! Just like my name. I’m a quiet guy who enjoys the simple things in life: sniffing all the smells, relaxing in calm spaces, and munching on tasty meaty treats. I’m easy-going, observant, and have a gentle soul. If you’re looking for a mellow buddy with a big heart, then please come meet me to see if we`re a purr-fect match at APF between 12-4:15, Tuesday-Saturday!!!
