Adopt a pet

This baby-faced boy with the long, full, soft white coat is Tiger, and he’s seeking his furever home! Tiger was rescued from a hoarding case where he was living in dire straights, and without human interaction. But now he’s in a foster home learning all about the kindness of humans, comfy dog beds, and the joys of sliced cheese! Tiger is fast friends with all dogs, male and female, large and small. Dogs are clearly where he finds comfort, and he will need at least one other dog in his furever home. This handsome guy prefers being outside, and his furever home should have a 6’ fenced-in yard so he can run and play with his doggie pals, and then sprawl out for some chill time and a good nap. As far as cats go, Tiger acknowledges them, but is uninterested. He doesn’t dig or bark, choosing to spend his time romping with his canine buddies, or lounging in the tall grass. Tiger is timid around humans, as he just doesn’t know much about them, having grown up in a sea of only dogs. With time and patience, Tiger will soon learn that humans equal pets, and that belly rubs are awesome!

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.
