Adopt a pet

The Chipmunk pups are ready for their furever homes, just in time for the new school year! These chipmunks are the most adorable fluff balls, with their puppy love brimming to the top. At their current age, these pups love playing with each other as well as playing tag with their foster siblings. They have all gotten a jumpstart in puppy pre-school, all being superstar students learning everything there is to know about being the most pyrfect puppy. These pups will be placed with an older canine in their new home to learn from and a secure fenced yard to play in. Alvin here sports his funky hairdo with confidence, and he is sure that he can be the mascot of some punk rock band in the near future. This little boy is in charge of entertainment in the household; he can often be found inventing funny games or making silly moves to everyone's entertainment. Take one look at Alvin, and you cannot help but smile and join in the fun with him, whatever that may be. This little boy is such a sweetheart with so much love to give; we are pawsitive Alvin will be your best buddy for years to come!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
