Story
Rocket has been with us since he was a baby and he’s recently had to move around a lot due to financial reasons. We are looking for someone that can provide him stability. Somewhere he can be comfortable and be loved. He gets very attached and is an absolute sweetheart. We’ve given him only the best, natural dog food and frequent check-ups at the vet. He is well trained and listens to most commands.

Story
Floki is a purebred almost 12 year old senior German Shepherd dog. We adopted him 4 years ago from the animal shelter where he has been a wonderful addition to our family. Floki is food motivated and has typical GSD traits like being super protective of his family and enjoys people’s company. Unfortunately Floki has a very high prey drive and is dog aggressive he cannot be around any other dogs, animals or small children. As our family is growing and we’re expecting a baby in June (this month) we are looking to rehome Floki to a quiet home with an experienced owner where he can spend the rest of his days.

Story
Ziggy is a gorgeous dog with a lush white coat, a wagging tail, and a happy smile. He is a middle-aged gent (7 years old/50 lbs), who has been professionally trained. Not your average dog, Ziggy is our 'unicorn' who when he loves, loves with his whole heart. Ziggy will need slow introductions to new people especially in his home. and he likes to be the protector of his person/people, so it's always necessary he be put in another room when new people enter the home. Ziggs takes time to warm up to new people, although he can sometimes make a snap judgment that yes, you're his kind of people and it's love at first sight. Ziggs loves his walks, is housetrained, is wonderfully affectionate with 'his' people, loves to play fetch (he's a pro), and can also amuse himself for hours playing with a ball or two or four! A good roll in the grass, a belly rub, showing off his sit, paw, and down for a treat, he's pretty amazing . Ziggy loves a car ride, and often goes for a ride with staff for a bagel! Well behaved when home alone, As stated. once he decides he loves you, his love has no boundaries! Ziggy also needs slow introductions to other dogs, but at this stage in his life, he's fine being solo. Our Ziggs is ready to find the person to devote his life to; he's neutered, up to date with vaccinations, microchipped. Ziggy is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, microchipped and ready to find his person to devote his life to Please fill in this application https://poshpetsrescueny.org/dog-application/

VERY ACTIVE DOG Hi, my name is MANGO and I am an adorable ONE-YEAR-OLD FEMAL AMERICAN STAFFIE MIX. I weigh just 39 pounds fully grown so I am just the perfect size for living in the city or the burbs. My pointy ears and beautiful eyes will give you full attention as you tell me how sweet I am and how lucky we are to have found each other. I have a stunning black coat with unique sprinkles of white on my little face. I am with a trainer now learning all my basic obedience and he said he's never had such a smart pup as I learn what he was teaching me in two days. He said I need structure and exercise to be the best dog ever I will be great with people who jog or hike or understand I do need plenty of exercise and to keep me crated when not home for training purposes which I love and enjoy I love to run and play with other DOGS and like any typical young dog, and not a mean bone in my body with other dogs I am housetrained and Spayed with all my shots and Microchip Please fill out this application by copying and pasting a link into your browser https://poshpetsrescueny.org/dog-application/ Fostered in ROSCOE NY

Story
To say I’m mildly obsessed with this petite, feisty full of sass in my pants girl, well, is accurate🙃 She’s a typical small dog who is Deaf but has a large personality. And like most typical smalls, she wants it her way when she wants it, and won’t hear of it any other way. Pixie is one of those dogs who has to make the first move. She will allow petting, kisses, being picked up when she’s ready and she will let you know when that time is. she can be protective of you also She weighs maybe 19 lbs full grown , is selective with other dogs and has the best time when she’s lounging on the couch or her little doggie bed. She’s available for adoption for dog owners who have first-hand experience with behaviors like hers. Once your in though, you’re IN! Spayed and updated with all her shots Please fill out the application on this link https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/POSH/Dog
