Story
Hello! They call me Queen, but I`m really not as bossy as my name indicates. I`m an adorable (almost) 4 year old pittie type, weighing in around 55 pounds. Yes, I’ve been at the shelter before. Someone adopted me, but they ended up having a heart condition and couldn’t take care of me anymore. Bummer! I learned a lot in that home though, so I’m hopeful it will help find me a new home soon! I`m a goofy, quirky gal who will make you laugh for sure! For the most part, I am equally happy to go for walks, play and sniff outside, or snuggle up to you! If you like to play, I`ll grab a toy and make silly noises while I show it to you by shoving it all over your body. If you`re not into games, that`s ok too, I`m pretty happy just sniffing around or sitting next to you in the sun. Some people say I`m kind of clumsy and giggle when I trip over things because I`m so focused on sniffing or chasing my toy. I don`t really get what is so funny but, whatever, I`m happy if you`re happy! Other dogs can make me feel nervous and I don`t really want them near me, so I’d be happiest being the only dog in my home (Queen of my castle, if you will). I`m perfectly happy without doggy buds, to be honest. I once tried living in home with a cat and it was really fun to chase, but the human and cat didn`t appreciate that, so I’m thinking maybe I shouldn’t live with a cat. Honestly, I`m a pretty chill dog once you get to know me. I`m thinking that if I can get a little consistency in my life, I`ll be quite the happy family member! If you`ve always dreamed of rescuing a dog and you`re willing to learn alongside me, head to the shelter during open hours for the chance to meet me! You can also call or email ahead, if you`d like to learn more about me before you come. (607)257-1822 x221 adoptions@spcaonline.com (adoptions category: Purple)

Story
Hello! I’m Xena (49 pounds). Let’s go for a walk and get to know each other; I can show you all the best spots to sniff and tastiest bits of grass to snack on. I was adopted from the SPCA as a puppy, but my humans had some complicated life problems crop up and they couldn`t care for me anymore. It was pretty scary to come back to the shelter, since I liked my quiet life with my humans, but I’m making a bunch of new friends now. I’m used to being home alone for the workday and hanging out in my crate. Cuddling my friends, playing fetch or tug of war, and getting a full-body scratch are some of my favorite things. I’m also a big fan of running laps in the yard, so I’d be delighted if my new home has a fenced yard. You won’t see me in the Adoption Center yet, but if you want to meet me, call the shelter at 607-257-1822 and set up a time. (Adoption Category: Purple)

Story
Hi there, they call me Silly Goose, and I think that`s pretty fitting! I was found tied to a tree with two other dogs. I am now the longest standing dog at the shelter, but I don`t get why! I love to sit in laps, play, both independantly or with friends and go for walks. Ok, some people say I`m a little too strong for them on leash. I guess I could see where that would be hard for some people. Maybe you have really strong arms or a fenced yard to help out with that? I can be a little bossy with other dogs but I do ok with some if the humans know how to help us get to know each other. To be honest, I think I am enough to keep anyone happy, even without another dog. If you ask me, I would make a pretty good new family member; if you don`t mind a 52 pound dog trying to climb in your lap! Stop by the shelter during open hours if you`d like to meet me, Silly Goose! I`m dying to find my new home soon! Tuesday-Sunday 12-4:30 PM (Thursdays until 6:30 PM) adoptions@spcaonline.com (607) 257-1822 x221 (adoptions category: green)

Story
Remus (43 pounds) was discovered roaming the streets of Caroline and was brought to the shelter by compassionate souls. He found a home somewhat quickly, but recently came back to us because his human family was having some personal issues. Some people think Remus looks intimidating but he is really a pretty big baby! As a young dog, he has a lot of playful energy and is learning how to contain himself when excited. With firm but gentle boundaries, Remus has been a joy for volunteers and staff. He is generally friendly with people and other dogs, but has had some bad experiences in the past that can make it hard for him to share with other dogs. If he`s going to live with or have playdates with other dogs, his humans will need to make a plan for safe feeding when it`s meal time! Remus LOVES a good neck scratch and will even flop down for belly rubs when he`s really into it. He knows some basic commands and will excel in life if he continues his training. As for toys, squeaky ones are his favourite! If you`d like to meet Remus, stop by the shelter during walk in hours Tues-Sun 12-4:30 (extended hours 12-6:30 on Thursdays). 607-257-1822 x221 adoptions@spcaonline.com (Adoption Category: Green)

Hello! My name is Isabella, but you can call me Izzy! I would do good in a home that has a nice comfy couch as I love to cuddle with my humans! That being said, I like the attention all to myself so I would prefer my home to have no other dog friends. I am a very smart girl that knows just the way to melt your heart with my cute face and adorable puppy dog eyes.
