Adopt a pet

If you are looking for an outgoing girl to be your next adventure sidekick, Frida may be the pyrfect girl for you. This active girl is born to venture outdoors, be it exploring some secret corner of the backyard, or hiking in the woods to look for critters, Frida is eager to take the lead. Frida is the ultimate fun-initiator in the pack, as she is always the one inventing different sorts of games for everyone to play. Despite her desire to be always-on-the-go, Frida is also more than happy to chill and nap by your feet, as long as you are willing to give her some much deserved belly rubs and ear scratches :) With a thirst to learn and eagerness to please, Frida will be a most pawsome partner. Frida will do best in a home where she will have adequate physical and mental enrichment activities to channel her energy in a pawsitive manner, another canine companion to help show her the ropes, and a secure fenced yard to play in. In time, we have no doubt Frida will mature into the most loyal and affectionate companion you have ever wished for!

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.
