Story
Scooby is our longest resident, and that’s because he is really not meant to be a shelter dog but has a hard time convincing potential adopters of that. He is a sensitive dog who gets concerned about stressful things in his environment. He has come such a long way with his anxiety and nerves with us in the shelter but what he requires is stability and consistency. He was in a temporary foster for two weeks and during that time he showed so much growth as he finally had a chance to settle in as a house pet. After some decompression, we found he wasn’t destructive, played with toys and puzzles, snuggled up on the couch, and even had some nice car rides (with only a little whining). Even in the shelter he is a gentle, friendly boy who follows commands, waits patiently for volunteers to leash him in his kennel, and is easy to walk. Although sometimes he does get spooked and wants to go back inside.What Scooby needs is someone with patience and a willingness to build trust with him once they bring him home and who can work constructively with him on his anxiety needs. We have a trainer who will help the new adopter transition Scooby into his new home. Everyone who knows Scooby, loves him!

Story
For Precious, age ain’t nothin’ but a number! At eight years old and fifty pounds, Precious is the Betty White of canines: sassy, spunky, and street-smart. She loves treats, toys, and adventure. Precious came in with her friend, Coco (also available for adoption) and another dog when her family could no longer take care of them. Precious is a proud member of the doggy playgroup and loves car rides and lower back scratches. We think she would do well in almost any home. Precious has a lot of living to do, and she knows that her best years are yet to come. She hopes she can share them with you!

Story
Larry is our resident, 65 pound, sweet boy who’s been with us over a year. He was picked up as a stray and, at first, he was rambunctious and not sure what leashes were for, but has since relaxed after getting settled and going through training with our volunteers. He still gets quite excited when he sees other dogs, but it’s just because he wants to make friends. Despite the development of food sensitivities and an antibiotic resistant ear infection he’s a happy and playful guy. He loves to go for walks and even runs. And in the quiet moments he practices his technique for sit and shake so that when he meets his forever family, he’s well prepared to greet them.

Story
Tanner is a true outdoorsman. He walks, runs, hikes, and even swims any and all hours. It’s a good thing he likes the water too because he’s been working on his baby seal certification and he’s so close to getting it! Tanner dreams of one day running a triathlon, but needs a little extra training so he doesn’t get overzealous and disrupt the competition. With the proper direction, Tanner is ready to take on anything. He’ll be your motivating force this coming winter to get out and move and meet those New Year’s Resolution fitness goals.

Story
Mocha is ten years old and is technically a senior, but don’t tell her that. Behind that sugar face beats the heart of a dog half her age. She loves adventures, treats, learning new tricks, and going for walks, but she also appreciates a soft bed, a cuddle, and a stuffed Kong. She’s dog selective and would do best in a home without cats. She came to the shelter when her family could no longer take care of her. Those who know her, love her, but at first glance, she may appear aloof. Don’t fall for it! Once she gets to know you, she’s your best friend and won’t let you out of her sight. Mocha has been a canine ambassador for the CNYSPCA and has visited a high school classroom. She did great - she loved the kids, and they loved her!She came to the shelter in May, and seems resigned to her lot in life. But there’s hope in her heart that her “furever” family is out there. Puppies are great, but there’s something very special about earning the trust and affection of a senior dog. Mocha is in the twilight of her life, but the love she has to give is endless. Give Mocha a chance. You‘ll be happy you did.
