1. Regina Red
Regina AKA Reggie was born around February 27 2019 and weighs about 45 pounds. Reggie is with us because her human could no longer care for her. Reggie is an absolute doll and we all fell in love with her instantly. Reggie gets along well with other dogs, cats, and kids of all ages. She loves walks and is wonderful on leash. She is house trained and affectionate. Her favorite thing in the whole world is snacks/food and snuggling with her humans!
Some nuances that we've learned about Reggie in foster care:
Read more about Regina Red
*She is obedient and knows basic commands.
*Reggie seems to fear getting into cars. In order to have her jump into a car, we throw a treat onto the seat and she'll jump in the car to get the treat (sometimes takes some coaxing). Once she's in the car, she lays down and rides nicely.
*She walks beautifully on leash with no pulling. When I stop for a second, she comes running back to me and sits/pushes up against me. She's either seeking safety/comfort or was trained to do this, but we reinforce this good behavior by telling her "Good girl to place".
*Reggie will "likely" stay with you off leash, but we "play it safe" and leave her on leash as she is very interested in the deer, squirrels etc.
*Reggie does not and has never gone "potty" on walks. She holds it until she gets home. She's 100% housebroken and does her business only when running in her fenced in yard.
*She really really loves her treats and food and eats her meals too fast, so we feed her with a slow feeder bowl that slows her down and will go with her when adopted. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $450.00

2. Jax Allen
Jax was born around April 15 2017 and weighs about 55 pounds. Jax is with us because his owner could no longer care for him. Jax rides well in the car and walks ok on a leash. Jax has been around children of all ages, cats, and dogs and does well with everyone. Jax has a lot of energy and is very smart! We will be looking for a home that can meet both his mental and physical exercise needs since his world is fast and fun! He is a smart boy and learned the dog door quickly, but for some reason he thought he had to BURST through it instead of walk. It's just how Jax rolls and he surely doesn't act his age. He has learned how to swim and LOVES it even though he is still a bit splashy with his front legs. He is a very funny boy. We've also discovered that he loves to play fetch and does bring the toy or ball back for you to throw again. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $450.00

3. Ricky Ras
Ricky Ras was born about January 26, 2025 and weighs about 10 lbs. When a dog comes into Rochester Animal Services in poor condition or has a potential behavior issue they deem the dog "Rescue Only" and when I saw this sad looking soul come through in an email saying second request and time was running out I felt the urge to offer him a soft place to fall. It was wonderful that a RAS volunteer met me in Dansville for the tradeoff. The story goes that Ricky had been on the run in the CITY of Rochester for some time and terribly fear protective and had to be caught with a net!!! I can't imagine how frightened he was and he was acting badly upon entry to the shelter. There are notes that within 2 days he was "eating well, shy but not aggressive" so he was settling. The poor little guy had fleas so bad there was hair loss and a very itchy secondary bacterial infection and several nasty mats. This would make most of us a little snarky! He came here a couple weeks later and was easy to handle upon being removed from his transport crate. He did ride well in the car on the two hour trip not making a peep. He is doing very well with the other dogs here. House training seems to be doing well and he has learned to use the dog door. With any of these small dogs floor potty pads being available just makes life easier. He has been fine with us humans but we've given him space and time - he's been through A LOT! He did nip his foster Dad as he was picking him up to go to the vet to be neutered. Is it possible he knew where he was going and for what??? Well, this was quite the story and as he continues to heal both physically and emotionally, we look forward to an application from someone willing to give him a forever home where nothing bad will ever happen again. Update: Ricky has grown a GORGEOUS fluffy, wavey, coat of fur and enjoys being brushed. He particularly loves one person here and shows her just how much love and affection he has been starved of for however long we've no clue. When picked up and held against her chest he licks her neck, snuggles in, and wiggles and wags - ADORABLE for someone that is willing to give him the time he needs and someone that understands he may not be ok in a high stress/social environment such as a Petsmart for a very long time, if ever. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $_350.00__.

4. Gizmo Chia
Gizmo was born around August 1, 2024 and weighs about 6 pounds. The reason Gizmo is with us is very perplexing. He ended up being given away or purchased, we are uncertain, on a Facebook group by a young family with a small child and a baby about a year prior. We were told he had bitten including the woman and the child so we were very cautious at first and accepted Gizmo knowing he may be unadoptable and he'd be able to live here as a sanctuary dog. We gave him space for a couple of days and then he came to us happily desiring our attention and touch. We saw an incredibly sweet little Chia emerge and it's been a few weeks and we genuinely ADORE him! He showed no signs of aggression so we decided to send him to show and tell at Petsmart with a capable handler just in case. The report back was glowing and that he did beautifully with all humans who approached him and even the kids, although we don't want to put him in a home with little kids so nothing more negative happens to him. One thing his foster mom noticed was when she bended to pick him up he was very uncomfortable and squiggled away and was hard to "catch". This behavior has subsided and she has to believe the child was not handling Gizmo appropriately or kindly and so the problems arose. Gizmo has been wonderful with the other dogs and even plays with them, we are told he is great with cats too. He has discovered the split antlers and enjoys a good chew fest. We are told Gizmo is house-trained but be prepared for accidents with big life changes and floor potty pads are always handy for these little guys. Gizmo rides well in the car and LOVES to cuddle under blankets. Gizmo has slight luxating patellas, but they don't bother him, and he runs, plays and jumps with no issues. So, here is his story and this is what we've discovered about this tiny, tan, love bug! The Adoption Fee for this dog is $350.00
Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability. In general our fees include spay/neuter, all age appropriate vaccines, Home Again micro-chipping & registration, worming & flea control - a "complete" pet. We accept CASH or Visa/Mastercard ONLY.

5. Koda
Meet Koda! Born around June 19, 2025 and may top out 25–30 pounds, This handsome boy came into our care after his previous family faced unexpected financial difficulties.
Koda is an absolute social butterfly—he loves other dogs and is great with cats! While he hasn't spent much time around kids yet, his gentle nature makes us think he'd do wonderfully with respectful children. He’s also a fantastic travel buddy who rides beautifully in the car and is doing well on his leash training.
Did we mention how smart he is? Koda already knows "sit" and "down," and he loves a good game of fetch. But once playtime is over, he instantly transitions into the ultimate cuddle bug. He’d love nothing more than to snuggle up next to you while you read a book or cheer on the Bills.
And let’s be honest—have you seen that face? He is absolutely ADORABLE, and that little white tip on his tail is just the icing on the cake. This sweet, fun-loving boy is ready to find his forever family. Could it be yours? We are truly guessing at breed mix because "fox" isn't a choice.

He is an exceptional love bug and does enjoy playing with the other dogs. We feel he is doing well on house training, but encourage our small dog adopters to have potty floor pads handy as it just makes life so much easier for everyone.

8. Big Al
Meet Big Al!
The 65-Pound Best Friend You Didn't Know You Needed!
Born August 12, 2020, Al is a 6-year-old Standard Poodle with a BIG heart of gold. And we mean BIG! This handsome guy is currently 65 pounds of lean poodle perfection and is working on putting on a little weight.
Al has never met a stranger. In fact, we're not entirely sure he understands the concept of personal space.
Everyone is his friend. EVERYONE.
The dog snarling at him from across the room? Friend!
The cat who's hissed at him 20 times and finally resorted to throwing paws? Still a friend!
The squirrel across the road? BEST FRIEND MATERIAL!
Read more about Big Al
Al is socially blind and unintentionally pushy. He takes friendship VERY seriously and believes that if he looks at you, you are now personally responsible for being his buddy until someone else comes along. Pets, attention, and affection are always on his agenda! Be prepared, he’s a BIG leaner
A little more about Al:
Dog friendly, including small dogs
Cat friendly
Kid friendly
Potty trained
Kennel trained
Ball enthusiast…when the spirit moves him
Gentle with his toys (more of a casual nibbler than a destroyer)
Low-energy overall and an oversized lapdog at heart
Loves attention and affection
Currently does great with professional grooming
Bed HOG
Al does have a few quirks and things his future family should know:
He's a bit of a puller on walks and will need a head halter or martingale collar while you continue working on that
He's an alert barker, especially at loud noises or people passing his gate. He'd really like them to come over and pet him, obviously!
Counter surfing is one of his hobbies. Keep those snacks out of reach!
He may occasionally bounce around and attempt to initiate a game of tag with a squirrel. The squirrel is generally not interested.
Let's talk Poodle maintenance!
Al is a Standard Poodle, and that gorgeous coat doesn't maintain itself. His hair grows FAST, and he will need professional grooming approximately every month to keep his coat clean, healthy, and mat-free, along with regular nail care.
He currently does wonderfully with professional grooming, so haircuts and nail trims aren't an issue for him. However, his future family needs to be prepared to either learn to groom him at home or budget approximately $80–$200 per month for professional grooming.
If you're looking for a sweet, goofy, affectionate companion who believes everyone he meets should immediately become part of his social circle, Al might just be your guy!

11. FiFi
THERE’S NO FALSE ADVERTISING WITH FIFI!
She’s every bit as sweet, affectionate, and fun as she looks!
At just 2 years old and 12 lbs, FiFi is a little white creampuff of pure sweetness. She’s crate trained, fully housebroken, and about as easy to love as they come!
FiFi adores people AND other dogs, and she'd really love a home with other young, playful pups to run around the yard with, goof off in the house, and generally make life more fun.
Read more about FiFi
When it comes to her people, FiFi is a professional snuggler. She wants to be close, soak up all the affection she can get, and will absolutely let you know if she thinks you’re falling short on your cuddle duties.
She sleeps happily in her crate at night, but if you’re willing to share your bed, she’d be DELIGHTED to moonlight as your personal body warmer!
FiFi loves her walks and is excellent on a leash. She does have an adventurous side, though, so if she’s going to enjoy off-leash time in the yard, a securely fenced yard is a must. This little explorer likes to see what’s out there!
Honestly, what’s not to love?

Hi, I’m Percy! I’m proof that you can be ridiculously adorable and still make your humans question every life decision that led them to you.
Think training a Yorkie mix means you’re getting a cute little purse dog? HAHAHAHA. Nope! Have you seen The Hunger Games? More like that!
May the odds be ever in your favor.
I’m 11 pounds, 2 years old, possibly a Yorkie mix or terrier mix, and I come equipped with BIG energy, BIG personality, radar-dish ears, and ABSOLUTELY ZERO CHILL (well unless I’m the center of your love and attention!).
The rescue is genuinely worried I’ll never get adopted because I’m such a knucklehead. (Honestly?! Yup - Fair!)
Read more about Percy
I love people, toys, playtime, walkies, attention, and cuddles. I really am the sweetest boy!
But do I have manners? HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE .
I’m working on my leash skills, potty training, and general understanding of how to function in polite society. Think less purse accessory, more tiny chaos agent with absolutely no impulse control.
I need a family with consistency, commitment to training, a great sense of humor, and the patience of 47 saints. I’m a work in progress. A VERY cute, occasionally infuriating work in progress.
But underneath all that chaos is a genuinely sweet boy who wants to love his people with his whole heart.
PERCY IS LOOKING FOR:
A family ready for BIG personality
Continued potty training and leash-manners boot camp
Lots of love, patience, playtime, and cuddles
Someone who understands that CUTE DOES NOT MEAN EASY!
Come for the ears. Stay because you’ve fallen in love with the little shit.
Think you can handle Percy? The rescue has concerns. The odds are questionable. But someone out there is brave enough for this tribute!

13. Dolly
Meet Dolly - the little girl with the biggest heart!
Sometimes a dog comes along who just seems to appreciate everything life has to offer. Maybe it’s because Dolly was rescued from such sad and lonely beginnings… or maybe it’s simply who she was born to be. But that’s our sweet Dolly. ❤️
Dolly is a
1½ yr old, 34 lb
"pocket pittie." She's the perfect compact size, with a whole lot of love and playful energy packed inside. She absolutely LOVES other dogs and has so much fun playing with her four-legged friends. And as far as Dolly is concerned, everyone she meets - two-legged or four-legged - is simply a friend she hasn’t gotten to know yet.
Read more about Dolly
.
She’s also discovering just how big and wonderful the world can be. New places? She’s excited. Parks? She’s in! Water? Absolutely! ✨ Everything is an adventure to Dolly, and watching her experience these things for the first time is pretty special. She’s learning, growing, and becoming the wonderful little companion she was meant to be.
Dolly is already crate trained and leash trained, and she’ll head to the door to let you know when she needs to go potty. She’s off to a wonderful start - and now she’s looking for the family who will help her keep discovering all the good things life has to offer.
.
She wants a family who will take her for walks, explore new places with her, share in her adventures, and, most importantly, love her as wholeheartedly as she will love them.
Dolly has so much love to give. She’s ready to discover just how beautiful forever can be. ❤️

14. Luna
Luna is a 9-year-old spayed female looking for a patient family who will give her the time she needs to feel safe. While her past wasn’t always kind to her, once she trusts you, her sweet and silly personality shines through.
Luna loves leisurely walks, lounging on the back of the couch to keep an eye on everything, and surprising her favorite people with a gentle ear lick when she wants some attention. She’s happiest spending quiet time with the people she loves.
Read more about Luna
Because Luna can be nervous in new situations, she’ll need an adopter who understands that trust takes time. Once she settles in, she’s affectionate, loyal, and full of personality. She would thrive in a calm, quiet home. She would likely do best as the only dog or with a calm, older dog who will respect her space and let her adjust at her own pace.
If you’re looking for a companion who will reward your patience with unwavering love and plenty of quirky moments, Luna may be the perfect match. She just needs someone willing to give her the chance she deserves.

Adopting a dog in Canaseraga
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
