Adopt a pet

This sweet 'lil thing is Lucy, and she is ADORABLE - both literally and figuratively. Lucy is a bundle of joy and full of life; it is impawssible not to have a good time when she is around. When it comes to playing, Lucy is not shy about initiating play with her foster siblings, and she will no doubt impress you with her moves. Play bows? You bet! Tail wags in supersonic speed? You'd better catch that in slow motion! Her most impressive move is to "tag" a friend then run away as fast as pawssible so they can give chase in whirlwind speed! When it comes to food or treats, Lucy loves them all, in fact, she is contemplating applying to be a sous chef when she grows up :) This lovely girl is as sweet as can be; we are pawsitive she is the ray of sunshine you didn't even know you were missing!

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.
