1. Willie Nelson
Young (1 year) · Male · Chihuahua / Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 10 mi from Harris Hill








HOWDY, Y’ALL! MEET WILLIE NELSON!
❤️ A LITTLE COUNTRY BOY WITH A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE TO GIVE! ❤️
Hi there!! My name is Willie Nelson, and I’m just a little dude at about 1 year old and only 20 pounds! I know I might look bigger in my pictures, but trust me, I’m a small guy with a BIG heart! ❤️
I can be a little shy when we first meet, but give me a little time to get to know you, and you’ll discover just how affectionate I am! Wherever you go, I’ll be right there beside you. Snuggling is my specialty because I always want to be in “touch” with the people I love!

I get along wonderfully with all my foster siblings, big or small. I’m an easygoing kind of guy who enjoys making friends. I haven’t met any kitties yet, but who knows? I might just enjoy having a feline sibling, too!
Now, let me tell you a little more about myself!
I’m housebroken and crate trained! The crate is okay, but if I had my choice, I’d much rather be curled up next to you.
I LOVE the great outdoors! There are so many wonderful smells for my nose to investigate, and I take my sniffing duties very seriously!
I enjoy my toys, chewing on a good bone, and, of course, I’m always happy when treats are involved!
️ I’m a good eater and an all-around easygoing little guy.
My foster mom has fallen head over heels in love with me. She says it’s really not hard to do! ❤️ But she also knows that I deserve a family of my very own, one who will love me, cherish me, and spoil me rotten for the rest of my days.
So, what do you say?
Could you be the one to give this little country boy his happily-ever-after?
I may be a little shy at first, but underneath that quiet exterior is a loyal, loving, snuggly little companion just waiting for someone to call his own.
I’ve got plenty of love to give, and I’m ready to find my forever home!
DON’T LET THIS COUNTRY BOY PASS YOU BY!

Young (1 year) · Male · Australian Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 10 mi from Harris Hill









Hi there! I’m CJ, and I’m looking for my forever family!
I’m an Australian Shepherd mix puppy with a big personality, lots of energy, and plenty of love to give! My favorite things include playing fetch, going for walks, enjoying car rides, and, of course, snuggling up with my favorite humans after a fun-filled day. I’m a happy, playful guy who loves being part of the action, but I’m just as happy soaking up affection from my people. ❤️
I’m a smart cookie, too! Since I’m food-motivated, learning new things is lots of fun. I already know
sit, paw, lie down, and high five!
Read more about Cj
I’m still working on my puppy manners, including walking nicely on a leash and keeping all four paws on the floor instead of jumping up to say hello. My foster parents remind me to “down,” and I’m trying my best to be a good listener. Hey, I’m still a kid, after all!
I also have a canine foster sister, and I think having a doggy friend is pretty great!
I’m looking for a family who will enjoy my playful spirit, help me continue learning, and give me plenty of opportunities for exercise, fun, and cuddles. If you’re looking for a clever, affectionate, adventure-loving companion who will keep you smiling, I might just be your guy!
Think we could be a perfect match?

5. Cloud
Puppy (4 months 22 days) · Male · Australian Shepherd (long coat) · 10 mi from Harris Hill







☁️ Hi, I’m Cloud! A One-of-a-Kind Puppy Looking for My Forever Home!
Hi everyone! My name is Cloud, and I’m a happy, loving puppy who is eager to learn and ready to find my forever family! I came all the way from North Carolina to Buffalo, and I’m hoping my journey ends with a family who will love me exactly as I am.
I’m a little unique because I have one BEAUTIFUL eye. Sadly, I lost my other eye after an unfortunate incident with my dad over food. But having one eye doesn’t slow me down one bit! I’m a happy, playful boy who is ready to experience everything life has to offer.
Read more about Cloud
I absolutely LOVE other dogs! My foster home has two resident male dogs—one big and one small—and I love running, playing, and having fun with both of them. I also do wonderfully with children. There’s a little girl in my foster home who I think is pretty special. I love following her around, giving her lots of kisses, and, of course, keeping an eye out for any food she might accidentally drop along the way!
I LOVE toys and treats, and I’m already proving that I’m a pretty smart boy. I know sit, paw, and stay, and I’m just waiting for someone to give me more opportunities to learn. I’m eager to please and think training is pretty fun when treats are involved!
I’m doing well with my potty training, too. When I need to go outside, I’ll make sure my people know! I’m still working on my leash and crate training, but I’m a puppy, and I know I’ll continue to improve with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement.
I also have a little obsession with something that smells absolutely AMAZING… your shoes! ❤️ There’s just something about the smell of my people that I love. I’ll happily carry your shoes to my bed and snuggle up with them. I’m still learning that shoes are supposed to stay on your feet, but hey, nobody’s perfect!
I’m sweet, affectionate, playful, social, and full of puppy love. I’m looking for a family who will continue teaching me, give me plenty of playtime and adventures, and, most importantly, love me for the special boy I am.
So, what do you think? Could I be your perfect match?
My adoption fee is $600.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, one-of-a-kind puppy with a heart as big as his personality, I’m Cloud—and I’m waiting for you! ☁️

6. Dallas
Adult (7 years 9 months) · Male · Dalmatian (short coat) · 10 mi from Harris Hill




Hi there! I’m Dallas, and I’d love to tell you a little about myself. ❤️
I’m a pretty special guy who is just beginning to discover what it really means to be a dog. I came from a breeder, and for the first part of my life, things looked very different. Now, I’m learning about all the wonderful things I get to experience as a beloved family dog—and let me tell you, I’m loving every minute of it!
Read more about Dallas
I’m crate trained and potty trained, and I’m working hard on my leash skills. I’m still learning, but I’m doing pretty well! I love going for runs, exploring new places, and taking in all the exciting sights and smells the world has to offer. And when it’s time to relax, I’m perfectly happy curling up with my favorite bone for some very serious chewing.
I’m a sweet, friendly boy who absolutely loves attention. Belly rubs? Yes, please! Cuddles? Absolutely! Tell me how handsome I am while giving me lots of pets? Well, I could definitely get used to that!
I’m also a pretty easygoing guy. I get along well with other dogs, cats, and kids, and honestly, I’m happiest when I’m with my people. I enjoy hanging out inside, relaxing in my crate, or stretching out on a comfy bed and showing off my impressive couch-potato skills.
I’m still learning about all the little things that make life wonderful—cozy beds, favorite toys, adventures, cuddles, and having people who love me just because I’m me. But I’m ready to keep learning.
What I’m really looking for is a family who will be patient with me, help me continue discovering the world, love me unconditionally, and maybe spoil me just a little. In return, I promise to give you plenty of love, companionship, cuddles, and those adorable “I’m your dog now” looks.
I’ve waited a long time to discover what it feels like to have a family of my own. Could you be the family I’ve been waiting for?
If you think we could be the perfect match, please apply to adopt me today at www.buffalocares.org.
I can’t wait to meet you! ❤️

7. Albert
Puppy (7 months) · Male · Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 10 mi from Harris Hill










Hi there! My name is Albert. I’m a Black Lab mix searching for my forever family! Don't let the "Lab" part fool you—I’m a pint-sized little guy weighing in at just 20 pounds of pure love and puppy energy. I’m a total sweetheart who loves going on outdoor adventures, taking smooth rides in the car, and discovering new things. I’m also a certified foodie who eats like a champ and will do just about anything for a good treat! After a fun day of exploring, my favorite thing in the world is cuddling up right in your arms to fall asleep—if you listen closely, you might even hear a few tiny puppy snores!
Read more about Albert
When it comes to making friends, I’m an absolute social butterfly. I adore playing with other pups and get along great with every dog I meet! I haven't officially met any cats yet, but since I'm still just a young pup, I should do great with them if we take things slow with a proper introduction. Whether we're wrestling in the yard or sharing toys, I’m always ready to bring playfulness and fun to the party.
I’m a smart little boy and I’m already working hard on my big-dog manners. I am fully crate trained and sleep like a dream all night long without making a single peep! I do pretty well on a leash, though I’m still learning not to get too distracted by all the exciting scents out there. I’m also making progress on my potty training; I’m not quite 100% there yet, but with a routine and a few tasty treats, I know I'll master it in no time. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and adventurous sidekick to complete your home, I’m your guy!

8. Chubby Checkers
Adult (4 years 1 month) · Male · American Bulldog (short coat) · 10 mi from Harris Hill





Watch Chubby Checkers's videos (2)
Hey there! My name is Chubby Checkers, and if you're looking for a big personality wrapped up in a handsome American Bully package, I might just be your guy.
I'm about 65 pounds of love, energy, and enthusiasm, and I'm searching for a forever family that understands dogs like me.
I love going for walks, playing with my toys, working on enrichment activities, and chewing on my favorite treats. After a busy day, you'll usually find me curled up in my crate with my beloved blanket. It's my safe place, and honestly, I think every dog deserves a cozy spot to call their own.
Read more about Chubby Checkers
My foster family says I'm playful, goofy, affectionate, and always ready for an adventure. I love being with my people and forming strong bonds with those I trust. Because I'm a strong boy with lots of excitement for life, I do best with someone who can provide structure, consistency, and clear guidance.
I'm fully potty trained, crate trained, and have been working hard on my leash skills.
Now, let's talk about what I'm looking for. I'd do best in a home with teenagers or adults only. I need an experienced adopter who understands that I can get excited and sometimes jump up when I'm happy. I also have some resource guarding tendencies with food and toys, but with proper management and leadership, it's something I continue to work on successfully.
I may do best as your one-and-only canine companion, though I do enjoy yhe company of my canine foster brother who is a calm, neutral dog who respects my space. A cat-free home would be best for me.
I have so much love to give and so much life left to live. All I need is someone willing to see the amazing dog behind my big personality. If you're looking for a loyal companion, a best friend, and a dog who will make you laugh every day, I might be exactly who you've been searching for.

9. Bernie
Young (1 year) · Male · Poodle (unknown type) / Shih Tzu / Mixed (long coat) · 11 mi from Harris Hill



Bernie is a 1-year-old, 14-pound mixed-breed pup, possibly with some Shih Tzu and Poodle in his family tree.
Bernie was found running in traffic, scared, neglected, and covered in painful mats that had clearly been growing for a very long time. The mats were so severe that he needed to be completely shaved down. It's obvious that life hadn't always been kind to him, yet Bernie has never let his past dim his spirit. From the moment he arrived in foster care, he showed everyone just how gentle, affectionate, and forgiving he truly is.
Read more about Bernie
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

10. Suki
Adult (2 years 11 months) · Female · Bichon Frise (long coat) · 11 mi from Harris Hill


Meet Suki, a sweet little Bichon girl who is just beginning her journey of learning what it means to be a beloved family pet. After spending her life as a breeder dog, everything about pet life is new to her, and she is looking for a patient, understanding family that will allow her to blossom at her own pace.
Read more about Suki
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.

11. Kenny
Adult (2 years) · Male · Poodle (Miniature) · 11 mi from Harris Hill


Kenny is a 2-year-old, 14-pound Miniature Poodle with a gorgeous deep red coat and an even more beautiful personality. As a breeder release dog, Kenny may not have experienced life in a traditional home before, but you would never know it. From the moment he arrived in foster care, he settled in as though he had always been part of the family.
Read more about Kenny
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.

Adult (3 years 7 months) · Male · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (long coat) · 11 mi from Harris Hill



He's doing fantastic with leash training, and we were so impressed with how quickly he caught on. Max is also fully crate trained and settles in nicely.
Read more about Max
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.

13. Artie
4 Years · Male · Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 11 mi from Harris Hill


Say hello to little Artie! This 4‑year‑old, 20‑pound terrier mix has had a rough start to life, but he’s finally getting the chance to shine. Artie was surrendered locally to a shelter, and when he arrived, he was in tough shape. He was covered in fleas and missing a lot of hair, but with care and time, his coat has been coming in beautifully. He’s turning into quite the handsome little guy. Artie does receive drops for dry eyes and may need to continue them, but he’s a champ about it.
Read more about Artie
Artie loves to play in the yard with his foster siblings and fetches a ball like a pro. He enjoys his little stuffies and will happily snuggle next to you on the couch, though he has a special love for his dog bed. He is crate trained but has the run of the house when his family is home. Artie does have a sensitive tummy — and yes, he can clear a room! He doesn’t get people food, but he does enjoy mealtime and uses a slow feeder to help pace himself.
He enjoys going for walks and is learning not to pull so much. His foster mom calls him Houdini because he can find the smallest space to squeeze through and explore. For that reason, if Artie has a yard of his own, it must be fully fenced and absolutely secure. He would also do well in an apartment as long as he gets regular walks and exercise.
Artie is a fun, sweet, playful little guy who’s ready for a fresh start. If you think Artie might be the perfect fit for your home, apply today!

14. Dusty
Puppy (6 months) · Male · Pug / Beagle / Mixed (short coat) · 11 mi from Harris Hill




Dusty is an adorable 5-month-old Puggle who is ready to find a family of his very own! Recently released from a breeding program after aging out of being sold, Dusty is discovering how wonderful life can be as a cherished family pet. He currently weighs under 20 pounds and is expected to mature into a small-to-medium-sized dog, around 25-30 pounds.
Read more about Dusty
Every day, Dusty's personality shines a little brighter. While he was initially unsure of people due to his limited exposure early in life, he is becoming noticeably braver and more confident with each passing day. He's learning that people aren't so scary after all, especially when treats are involved! Watching him build trust and seek out attention has been incredibly rewarding, and we know his new family will love being part of that journey.
Dusty is doing well with his training and is eager to learn. He is very food-motivated, which makes training sessions both fun and productive. He's become quite happy to go into his crate now because he knows good things happen there, usually in the form of treats! Crate training has become an important part of his routine and should continue in his new home.
Leash training is coming along, but it remains a work in progress. Dusty will need continued patience and practice as he learns that walks are meant for strolling rather than stopping to investigate every interesting smell. The Beagle side of this handsome boy definitely shines through when he's outside. Nose to the ground, he loves exploring the world one scent at a time.
Dusty absolutely loves being outdoors and taking in everything around him. When he's faced with something new or unexpected, he isn't afraid to give a classic "Beagley" bark to let everyone know what's happening! It's one of the many charming traits that makes him such an entertaining and lovable pup.
Dusty does well with other dogs and enjoys their company. He has always been with his brother, Sawyer, so his adopters should expect there may be an adjustment period as he learns to navigate life independently. With patience, consistency, and reassurance, we expect him to settle in nicely and continue gaining confidence.
Housetraining is improving every day, but like any young puppy learning a new routine, he will need ongoing guidance and understanding in his new home. Consistency will be key to helping him continue to succeed.
And can we talk about that face? Dusty is absolutely adorable. His sweet expression, gentle nature, and growing confidence make him impossible not to love. He may need a little extra patience as he adjusts to all the new things life has to offer, but the reward will be an incredibly loyal, loving companion. We truly believe Dusty is going to make an amazing family dog for someone willing to give him the time, understanding, and encouragement he deserves.
Dusty is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, flea treated, and dewormed.
His adoption fee is $475.
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. ❤️

15. Tootie
Young (1 year 1 month) · Female · Shih Tzu / Mixed (long coat) · 11 mi from Harris Hill




Tootie is a 1‑year‑old Shih Tzu mix weighing just 9 pounds, and she is every bit as sweet as she looks. This little lovebug is affectionate, playful, and happiest when she’s close to her people. She’s the kind of dog who melts into your arms, follows you from room to room, and lights up the moment she sees you.
Tootie did wonderfully with kids and enjoys playing with other small dogs. Big dogs can make her a little nervous at first, but once she knows she’s safe, she warms up quickly. She loves toys, chewies, and snuggle time — she’s a perfect mix of playful energy and cozy companionship.

She’s crate trained and doing well with housetraining, though she’ll need a bit of patience and consistency as she settles into her new routine. Tootie is learning her leash skills and improving every day. A fully fenced yard (no invisible fences) is preferred so she can explore and play safely.
This little sweetheart rides beautifully in the car, was recently professionally groomed, and will need regular grooming to keep her looking and feeling her best.
Tootie is ready for a family who will adore her, spoil her, and give her the safe, loving home she deserves. She’s a gentle, joyful, loyal little girl — and she’s so ready to be someone’s whole world.
Tootie is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm. Her adoption fee is $550
To keep her 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

16. Millie
Adult (4 years 11 months) · Female · Border Collie / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat) · 14 mi from Harris Hill







Meet Millie!
Millie is a sweet, lovable 5-year-old girl who was found locally as a stray and is now ready to begin her next chapter in a forever home. She may be a Border Collie/Lab mix, but whatever her breed, Millie is full of charm, personality, and love.
She’s crate trained, housebroken, and dog-friendly, making her a wonderful companion for the right family. Millie can be a little quirky when meeting new people, but she warms up remarkably quickly. Once she feels comfortable, her affectionate, snuggly side shines through, and she’ll happily soak up every bit of love and attention you’re willing to give.
Millie loves adventures and going for walks, making her a fun companion for exploring and enjoying the outdoors.

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! ❤️

17. Lola
Adult (5 years 9 months) · Female · American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed · 14 mi from Harris Hill






Meet Lola
Lola is a
petite black Pit Bull with a big personality and an even bigger heart!
She is a fun, curious girl who gets excited about the world around her and loves experiencing new things.
Lola is an active girl who
enjoys long walks
and exploring with her person. She also absolutely
loves playing in the sprinkler!
She is very social and curious.
Chickens, rabbits, squirrels, and other dogs
can all catch her attention and get her excited. She will need a family who understands her enthusiasm and is willing to continue working with her on appropriate introductions, impulse control, and calm behavior around exciting distractions.
Read more about Lola
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.
18. Goose
Young (1 year 2 months) · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 14 mi from Harris Hill










Meet Goose!
Goose is a happy-go-lucky, handsome boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This lovable guy is friendly with everyone he meets and has a wonderful, affectionate nature.
Goose is dog-friendly, but because of his young age and enthusiastic play style, he would do best in a home without small dogs or cats. Goose has had a difficult experience in the past and was previously attacked by another dog, so dog introductions should be slow, thoughtful, and allow him time to feel comfortable. With patience and proper introductions, Goose has shown that he can enjoy the company of canine friends.
Read more about Goose
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?

If you are interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application at www.sadiesrescue.org Please keep in mind there are many factors to consider when choosing the right match for a dog, so an application cannot guarantee adoption. Nor do we work on a "first come first served" basis, but rather strive to find the best match for the personality of each dog.
As part of our adoption process, references both personal and veterinarian will be checked. Sadie's also requires a home visit before we adopt any of our dogs out; therefore we only adopt to our local WNY region. Please only apply if you are serious about adopting as placing each foster dog in the best home takes time and effort by our volunteers.

Please keep in mind there are many factors to consider when choosing the right match for a puppy, so an application cannot guarantee adoption. Nor do we work on a "first come first served" basis, but rather strive to find the best match for the personality of each dog. At the time of adoption, the puppy will be current on vaccinations and deworming. He or she will come with a pre-scheduled appointment at our vet to be spayed or neutered that the adopter is obligated to keep. The puppy will also be microchipped at this time. Please consider the time and effort it takes to raise a puppy. Foster puppies are typically NOT potty trained. They require time and patience from their adopter. If you are NOT serious about adoption and have not discussed the possiblility of adding a new canine to your home with ALL live in family members, DO NOT APPLY. Volunteers spend countless hours reviewing applications, calling references, and scheduling home visits. Please be sure you are ready to add a puppy to your home BEFORE applying. Our puppy adoption fee is $400 plus a $50 training deposit, which is refunded to the adopter when he or she provides proof of having completed a basic obedience class with their puppy. As part of our adoption process, references both personal and veterinarian will be checked. Sadie's also requires a home visit before we adopt any of our dogs out; therefore we only adopt to our local WNY region.

Adopting a dog in Harris Hill
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.
