Adopt a pet

This adorable young boy is Clyde and he is such a great pup! He is so sweet, very social and so happy to play with all of his new dog pals in rescue. Clyde is still a growing pup, and he is on track to be a very big boy when full grown. He is a silly, playful boy who loves attention and affection. Clyde came to rescue in Georgia when he was dumped by his farm for playing too rough with the goats. As we typically see, these poor guys are purchased to be livestock guardians, they receive no training, and they are dumped the moment they are not perfect. We are so happy to have Clyde in rescue! He is such a friendly boy, he loves other dogs and loves to play. Clyde is such a smart boy and learns so fast. He has already learned to walk on leash and he will be working on house training next. Clyde would love a companion dog to play with in his new home with a secure fenced in yard to run around in. He is good with everyone he meets and should be a nice fit for any lucky family. His foster mom says he is a wonderful boy, happy and fun-loving as well as sensitive and sweet. We are all happy Clyde is safe now in rescue and ready to find a family of his own who will love him furever!

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.

We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQ for an application and information about our fostering program.
