Story
Meet Hydrangea, the sweetest, most perfect pup you could ask for! This 1-year-old mixed breed weighs around 16 lbs and is as lovable as they come. She’s house-trained, happily hangs out in her crate without a peep, and adores both people and other dogs. Playful, affectionate, and incredibly smart, she learned “sit,” how to do stairs, and how to walk on a leash—all on her first day! She’s even mastered waiting her turn for meals. Hydrangea is a total gem, ready to bring endless joy and love to her forever home! Approved adopters interested in Hydrangea can email adopt@hbrdogs.com for more info. If you’re not approved yet, apply today at hbrdogs.com.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi   My name is LuckyCharm or Lucky, for short! I am a 4 month old Chihuahua mix. I am a very sweet, affectionate girl who loves to snuggle and be with my people. I also love to play with toys and wrestle with my siblings. I am currently living with my 2 canine siblings, 2 fur foster brothers and 3 kids. I love everyone I meet   I am working on potty training and my foster mom is very impressed with me so far! I sleep in my crate at night and only cry if I have to go potty. Then it's right back to bed for me. I am very food motivated which will help with my training.  If you are interested in making me a part of your family, please complete an application at  buffalocares.org Adoption Fee: $475.00 RR 48 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All dogs come fully up to date on shots, microchipped, heart worm tested, de-wormed, on flea and heart worm preventative, and spayed/neutered.  If interested in learning more or adopting please fill out an application on our website at www.buffalocares.org.

Story
Elke is an adorable German Shepherd mix who is 1-2 years old. She's a bit underweight at 40 pounds so she's getting lots of healthy meals and treats so she can add another 8-10 pounds. She's a charming and happy-go-lucky girl with a medium energy level which makes her easy to live with. She'll be a perfect addition to a family who love the Shepherd breeds and prefer a medium sized girl. Elke is a very smart and sweet and loves everyone she meets and also enjoys playing with other dogs. She's great on car rides and walks well on a leash. She's totally healthy and up to date on all her vaccinations. She has so many great things going for her...all she needs is a loving adopter who can give her a happy home! We think she'd love a fully fenced in yard too so she can romp and play. Reach out to Long Road Home Rescue today (lrhrescue@gmail.com) to get more info on sweet Elke today!

Oyster is full of bursting energy, she grew up with a dog and a cat so she is well acquainted with other animals. She also gets along with children and loves to cuddle. Unfortunately I am unable to keep her due to my busy schedule and so I won’t be able to give her the attention that she deserves. She will be a wonderful addition to your family.
