Adopt a pet

Sweet, gentle Luna is looking for a home with a playful doggie companion (or more :), and a loving family who has plenty of love and attention to give! Luna is a young Pyr mix with a beautiful badger face, a long soft coat and a loving personality! She walks nicely on a leash and will sit and give her paw for a treat :) Bonus- she will gladly jump right up into the vehicle to go for a ride with her person(s)! Luna came to rescue when her family was unable to take her when moving out of the country—she was very much loved and, understandably, was very scared when she left her family. Therefore, she may be a littler nervous when first meeting, but with patience she will quickly be your new best friend! Luna is very relaxed when crated and is happy in or out of the house—she just wants to be where the other dogs and people are! Luna is also great with cats, allowing them to approach her - she seems to enjoy their company. Children in the home should have large breed experience and be on the calmer side. Luna is a friend to all dogs who she loves to run and play with. This girl’s true personality shines when she has a friend to play with! Lunas new home MUST have at least one dog who enjoys playing, a cat would be a bonus, and of course a secure fenced yard. Once this girl knows you she will greet you with a big smile and plenty of tail wags - Luna will make a wonderful addition to your home!

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 FAQfor an application and information about our fostering program.
