Dogs for Adoption in Alexander, NY: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

When Prada was first found, she had an ulcer in one of her eyes that needed veterinary care. Thankfully, she received the treatment she needed, and the ulcer has completely healed. It did leave a little scarring, but it doesn't affect her or her vision at all. It's simply a small reminder of something she's already put behind her.

Prada is one of those dogs who is just easy to love. She's sweet, affectionate, and seems to appreciate every bit of attention she gets. We'd love to see her find a family who will spoil her with all the love she deserves!

At 7 months old, Alia is still a puppy, so she'll need someone willing to continue teaching her all the things a young dog needs to learn. She's a great age to become part of a family and grow up with them.

Alia is ready to trade her Puerto Rican roots for a home of her own, preferably one with plenty of love, attention, and maybe even a doggie playmate!

And then there's his tail! Auggie only has a little nub of a tail, but don't let its size fool you. That little nub is almost always wagging, wiggling or moving! It's pretty much impossible to be around him without noticing how happy he is.

Auggie also loves other dogs and gets along great with his canine friends. He's a social little guy who enjoys being part of the gang and is just as happy hanging out with his buddies as he is getting attention from his people.

At 7 years old, Auggie is past the crazy puppy stage but certainly hasn't lost his sense of humor or his love for life. He's a really nice age for someone looking for a little companion who still has plenty of personality but doesn't need to be entertained every minute of the day.

Auggie is just a sweet, funny, lovable little dog who deserves a family of his own, a comfortable place to sleep and preferably a house with some really good sunny spots!

There is, however, one thing Kaylie may love even more than playing...

DINNER.

Mealtime is hands down her favorite part of the day. Kaylie is not the type of girl who’s going to turn her nose up at dinner and make you wonder if she’s feeling okay. If the food bowl comes out, Kaylie is READY.

At only about a year old, she’s still young, playful and full of fun, but she’s also very loving and enjoys being around her people.

Kaylie’s life may have started with someone leaving her behind, but we’re pretty sure her next chapter is going to be a whole lot better.

She just needs a family, maybe a doggy friend to play with...and someone who understands the importance of being on time with dinner. She will be here in NY at the end of October and we would love to have a family waiting for her!

Gabriel LOVES to eat. Treats, dinner, snacks, someone else’s dinner — he’s not particularly picky about the details. If food is involved, you officially have Gabriel’s full and undivided attention.

At only 8 months old, he still has plenty of puppy energy and silliness, but he’s also a really loving little guy who just enjoys being part of everything.

If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate dog who loves other dogs and will NEVER let you accidentally forget that it’s dinner time, Gabriel may be your guy! ❤️

Hugo does great with other dogs and really enjoys having canine friends around. Being part of a multi-dog household would be just fine with him. He's also doing very well with housebreaking!

Now, Hugo does have a couple of little quirks that we want his future family to know about.

He's a bit fearful of children and teenagers. We think he'd be happiest in an adult home where he can relax and feel secure. A home with older children who are VERY patient, gentle and willing to give him the time and space he needs could also work. Hugo just isn't the kind of dog who wants everyone rushing up to love on him before he's ready.

And cats? Well, Hugo thinks cats are GREAT fun to chase! We haven't seen anything to suggest he wants to hurt them, but he definitely thinks they should participate in his games, whether they've agreed to or not. For that reason, a home without cats would probably be easiest, unless the cats are very dog-savvy and his family is prepared to carefully manage introductions.

Hugo had a rough beginning, and we think some of his fears come from not having the best experiences early in life. But once he trusts you, he's such a funny, loving little dog.

He doesn't need a perfect family. He just needs one that understands he might take a little longer to feel safe, and that the goofy, affectionate little clown underneath is absolutely worth waiting for. ❤️

Enjoys playing and spending time with her people

Forms strong, loyal bonds with those she trusts

Pumpkin tends to connect quickly with women and is especially affectionate once she feels comfortable. She can also develop wonderful relationships with men, but does best with someone who has dog experience and understands the importance of patience and allowing her to build trust at her own pace.

For her ideal home, Pumpkin would do very well as an only dog or with a larger male dog who is compatible with her playful personality. Because she can be a little too enthusiastic during playtime, a home without small dogs or cats would be best.

What makes Pumpkin special is the devotion she has for her people. Once she trusts you, she gives her whole heart. She's the kind of dog who wants to be part of your everyday life, whether that means going for a walk, playing in the yard, or simply relaxing beside you.

Pumpkin has so much to offer the right family. She doesn't need a perfect home, just one with love, understanding, consistency, and someone willing to give her the security she deserves.

Pumpkin is spayed, vaccinated, 4DX tested, and on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention.

Pumpkin is ready to give someone her whole heart. We hope someone is ready to give her theirs. ❤️

After some activity, though, she’s happy to settle in nicely for cozy couch time with her people.
Millie does have a decent prey drive, so her future family should keep that in mind around small animals. She’s also respectful about her food and belongings with people, which is another wonderful quality.
Millie would thrive with a loving family who will give her time to settle in, appreciate her unique personality, and welcome her affectionate nature. If you’re looking for a cuddly, loyal companion with plenty of heart and a little delightful quirkiness, Millie might just be your perfect match! ❤️

Because Lola gets excited very quickly,

a home with older children is recommended

. Older kids who understand how to remain calm and follow directions will be the best fit for her.

One of Lola’s biggest challenges is

separation anxiety

. She becomes anxious when her person is not around, so she is looking for a home that can help her build confidence and learn that being alone is okay. A patient family who can provide consistency, structure, and gradual independence will be important for her.

Despite this challenge, Lola is a

sweet, energetic, playful, and curious girl who loves being with her people

. She is looking for a family who will give her the patience, guidance, exercise, and positive training she needs to continue growing into the wonderful companion she can be.

Lola would do best with:

Older children

who understand her energetic personality

A patient and understanding family

Someone willing to work with her separation anxiety

A family who enjoys

long walks and outdoor activities

Continued training and confidence building

Slow, controlled introductions to other animals

Structure, consistency, exercise, and positive attention

Lola may be petite, but she has plenty of personality!

She is ready to find her person and a family who will help her learn, grow, and enjoy life to the fullest.

We will sponsor training for her once we find her a foster.

Goose came to us as a stray and appears to have missed out on some basic training, but he is eager to learn! He is highly motivated by snacks. His leash skills are also a work in progress—there is just so much in the world for Goose to explore! With consistency and guidance, he is learning to focus on his person and become the best walking buddy he can be.

Because Goose is an active, curious young dog, he would do best in a home with a secure fenced-in yard where he can safely burn off energy, play, and enjoy some outdoor time. A family who can provide him with exercise, structure, and continued training will help Goose become the amazing companion we know he can be.

After some activity and adventure, Goose is happiest relaxing with his people and soaking up some well-earned snuggles. His sweet personality, goofy charm, and loving nature make him a wonderful companion for a family ready to help him continue growing.

Could Goose be the missing piece to your family?

Bernie absolutely adores people and forms strong bonds with those he loves. He is happiest when he's close to his foster mom and is the type of dog who wants to be wherever his people are. Whether he's following you from room to room, curling up nearby for a nap, or gently asking for pets, Bernie's favorite place is by your side. He is incredibly affectionate and always ready to share kisses with anyone willing to accept them. His loving nature makes it impossible not to fall in love with him.

This sweet boy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys having canine companions to play with. He loves romping around with his dog friends, but he's also perfectly content entertaining himself with toys when playtime is over. Bernie has a fun, playful side and often finds ways to keep himself busy while waiting for his next cuddle session.

Bernie has not yet been tested with children, but based on his gentle and easygoing personality, we do not anticipate any issues. He approaches life with a soft, loving demeanor and has shown himself to be a kind, patient dog.

Bernie is crate trained and walks on a leash. He is doing very well with house training when provided frequent opportunities to go outside and also uses pee pads. Because he was found as a stray and initially ran from people trying to help him get to safety, a secure, physically fenced yard is strongly preferred for his forever home. While Bernie has settled in beautifully in foster care, his adopters should understand the importance of taking extra precautions during the adjustment period to ensure he remains safe and secure. As with any newly adopted dog, accidents may happen as he adjusts to a new home and routine.

The wonderful thing about Bernie is that he is eager to learn. He is very food motivated and responds enthusiastically to positive reinforcement, making him an excellent candidate for continued training. Every day he gains a little more confidence and learns a little more about what it means to be a cherished family member.

As a non-shedding dog, Bernie will require regular grooming throughout his life. Since he likely went without proper grooming in the past, he is still getting used to the process, but he's making great progress. His future family will need to commit to routine grooming appointments to keep him healthy, comfortable, and looking handsome.

More than anything, Bernie deserves a family that will shower him with the love, patience, and attention he has been missing. After a difficult start, this happy little boy is ready to leave his past behind and begin the life he's always deserved. In return, Bernie will reward his family with endless loyalty, constant companionship, gentle kisses, and a heart overflowing with love. He has waited a long time for his happily-ever-after, and now he's ready to find it. ❤️

Bernie is neutered. up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm. His adoption fee is $550

Suki is a happy girl, even if she is still a bit shy. While she doesn't yet seek out affection or cuddles, she happily allows her foster family to pick her up and handle her. Her little wagging tail lets you know she is content and quietly enjoying the world around her. With time, consistency, and love, we know her confidence will continue to grow.

Because Suki has always lived with other dogs, she would do best in a home with another small, friendly dog. A canine companion will help show her the ropes and give her comfort as she learns about life in a home. She is already discovering the joys of toys, chewies, and treats, and she especially loves little snacks. While she may be hesitant at first, she will eventually take treats from your hand once she feels comfortable.

Suki is making progress every day. She knows what to do when she goes outside and can navigate stairs going up on her own. She is currently learning to go down stairs independently and continues to gain confidence with new experiences. She is not yet housetrained and has not learned leash walking, but both skills will come with patience, routine, and one-on-one guidance. Because she is not leash trained, Suki will require a securely fenced yard in her adoptive home.

Suki is respectful of cats and generally ignores them, aside from an occasional curious bark. She has recently been groomed and will need regular grooming appointments to keep her beautiful Bichon coat looking its best.

Every day brings a little more confidence and personality from this lovely girl. Suki is already showing us glimpses of the wonderful companion she's destined to become, and we believe she will truly thrive in a patient home that understands her past and celebrates her progress.

Suki is spayed, microchipped, up to date on core vaccinations, and negative for heartworm.

Adoption Fee: $500

If you're looking for a gentle soul to nurture and watch blossom, Suki may be the perfect addition to your family.

To help keep our dogs safe, we require a martingale collar at the time of adoption. If you don't already have one, Pixie Mamas has them available for $10.

Like many Poodles, Kenny is incredibly smart, loving, loyal, and adaptable. He quickly became his foster mom's little shadow, following her from room to room and often announcing his presence with the classic "poodle poke" of his nose against her leg. Kenny is a happy boy who absolutely thrives on attention and affection. Whether he's cuddling on the couch or simply keeping his favorite person company, he is happiest when he's close to those he loves.

Kenny gets along wonderfully with the other dogs in his foster home and enjoys snuggling up with his canine friends. He is also respectful of the resident cats, showing curiosity about their daily routines without causing any trouble. Gentle children would be a great match for Kenny as well.

He is doing an excellent job learning the ins and outs of living in a home. House training is still a work in progress but is coming along nicely, and he is making great strides with crate training too. With continued one-on-one guidance, he is sure to master both in no time. After all, he's poodle smart!

Kenny is not leash trained yet, so a securely fenced yard would be ideal while he continues building confidence and learning new skills. Given his intelligence and eagerness to please, we expect him to pick up leash walking quickly.

Kenny has been professionally groomed and looks absolutely stunning in his beautiful red coat. Like all Poodles, he will require regular grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best.

At the end of the day, Kenny is exactly what many people dream of in a companion: a sweet, loving lap dog who wants nothing more than a soft couch, a devoted family, and a forever home to call his own. ❤️

Kenny is neutered, up to date with core vaccines, microchipped, and tested neg. for heartworm. His adoption fee is $550.

Max is making great progress with his housetraining, but it is still very much a work in progress. As a breeder release, living in a home is a completely new experience for him, and he's learning more every day. Since being neutered, we've seen noticeable improvement, and he continues to move in the right direction. That said, his future family should be prepared to continue his housetraining routine and understand that patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement will be important to help him succeed. With continued guidance, we have no doubt that Max will keep making excellent progress.

Max has an amazing disposition and loves everyone he meets. He's the perfect mix of playful and loving, and we know you'll fall head-over-heels for this adorable boy! ❤️

Max was recently professionally groomed and looks absolutely adorable. He will require regular grooming to keep his coat healthy, soft, and looking his best.

Max is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, flea treated, and dewormed.

His adoption fee is $475.
