Story
Meet Jack, a sweet and sensitive 4-year-old dog looking for a very special forever home. He was adopted from a shelter and was believed to be a stray, and he still struggles with severe separation anxiety. Jack needs an experienced adopter who can help him work through his behavioral challenges and provide the steady routine he depends on. He would do best with someone who is home most of the day—such as a retired person, someone who works from home, or a patient family with children. Jack loves exercise and would thrive with a fenced-in yard, as he can be a flight risk when nervous. He has recently begun having accidents in the home, which we believe are caused by anxiety and a schedule change. It truly breaks our hearts to rehome him, but we know he deserves the consistent care and attention we can no longer provide. We hope to find the person who will be his true forever home.

Story
Name: Luffy aka LuckyDOB: 12/13/25Breed: Shepherd mixSex: Male (neutered)Weight: 28lbs. Location: Buffalo Luffy aka “Lucky” as his foster family calls him, is a Shepherd mix puppy who was rescued from Kentucky. He was found as a stray with his sister and brought to Buffalo because his beautiful coat and sad eyes caught our eye. Lucky is a very shy boy so it takes time for him to warm up. Lots of people are scary right now and he needs someone to earn his trust. He follows his foster mom everywhere. Lucky loves to cuddle, to play with other dogs, chew toys, and is curious about cats. He does well in a crate with a bone. Potty training is a work in progress. He’ll do best in a home with another dog to show him it’s okay to “be a dog.”   Are you looking for a loyal lover boy to grow with your family? Please apply at https://www.716paws.org/adopt or message the rescue if you’re already pre-approved. ##2702885##

Story
Name: EmmieDOB: 12/12/2025Breed: Mixed BreedSex: FemaleWeight:  9 poundsLocation: BuffaloHi, I’m Emmie, a shy girl looking for a quiet home where I can learn to be a full-fledged dog. I would do best with another friendly dog in the home to help show me the ropes. I absolutely love my foster sister! I follow her everywhere, we sleep together at night, play during the day, and snuggle up for naps. It’s the best! Don't get me wrong, I snuggle my foster mom too. I try to keep her as warm as possible during these chilly evenings while we watch our shows. I’m just starting my vaccinations, so I haven’t explored the outdoors yet. I’m am trained to do my business on puppy pads, and I hit (or land right next to) them about 95% of the time, pretty good, right? I’m also learning commands and can sit for treats. My favorite snacks are cheese and beef lung (yum!).Crates aren’t really my favorite thing. My foster mom lets me roam freely during the day while she works, and when she leaves, and I’ve been a very good girl, I only chew on my toys. At night, I sleep in the giant bed with my foster mom and sister, with no accidents at all.My dream home would be a place that is quiet with people that are patient, preferably with kids 12 years or older. I am working on building my confidence, and have come a long way. I’d love a comfy space to relax, a person to snuggle on, another dog friend, and plenty of treats.If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle girl to spoil, train, and grow with, I just might be your Emmie. Note, I will be a small / medium sized dog based on my current size. If you are interested in adopting Emmie, please apply at https://www.716paws.org/adopt; or, if you are already pre-approved, please email us at info@716paws.org or private message the rescue’s page on Facebook. ##2681188##

Story
Meet Alex! Alex is a handsome 1 year old mix breed pup. He is friendly, fun loving and energetic. Alex seems to do well with the other dogs that he’s met at LHS. We are recommending older kids due to his exuberance. Alex will need some work on leash walking with and basic commands. His new owner should have the time, patience and energy to dedicate to him. Alex would be a great companion for an active owner. He would make the best walking or running partner. If Alex sounds like the one for you, please fill out our online application or stop in during open hours. Wednesday 6-8pm or Saturday 12-3p.

These pups are in Buffalo, New York too!

Story
Meet Charlie – Your Fluffy Adventure Buddy! 1.5 Years Old 50 lbs Possible Border Collie Mix Male Looking for a high-energy sidekick who doesn’t let a little rain, snow, or Buffalo wind slow him down? Meet Charlie — a fluffy, outdoorsy free spirit with a big personality and an even bigger love for sticks Charlie was built for adventure. Long morning walks? Yes please. Evening strolls? Absolutely. Road trip? He’s already in the car. He rides beautifully and is always ready to be your co-pilot on hiking trails, nature getaways, or scenic drives. This boy thrives on movement and connection. He’s not a “just let him out in the yard” kind of pup — he needs structured walks, outdoor time, mental enrichment, and a human who enjoys staying active. When his body and brain are fulfilled, he happily curls up nearby for a well-earned nap. Charlie is still learning to navigate the world with confidence. He can be reactive to dogs and people on walks, so he’s looking for an experienced, patient adopter who understands reactivity and is committed to helping him continue building skills at his pace. With very slow, intentional introductions, he has shown he can coexist playfully and peacefully with other dogs. Because he can get overwhelmed, Charlie would do best in a quieter home with no young children (older, dog-savvy teens could be considered). He’s looking for structure, patience, and someone who will help him feel safe and secure. And let’s talk about that fluff — when his hair gets wet, it crimps into an 80s rockstar vibe that perfectly matches his wild-child spirit. Charlie’s Highlights: Active, sensitive, curious & hilarious Loves sticks, cool weather & outdoor adventures Excellent car rider Dog compatible with slow, proper introductions Best in an experienced, active home He’s not your dog-park social butterfly — he’s your loyal trail buddy, your walking partner, your “let’s get outside” motivator. If you’re ready for a devoted, goofy, adventure-loving companion and you understand that the best dogs are the ones you grow with… Charlie is ready to meet you. (73)Buddysrescue.org   ##2666766##
