Story
Hi, I'm Mia! I’m thrilled to have joined the Underdog family on May 4th! I was picked up by the City shelter in early April, and while I enjoyed doggy playgroup, being in a home is so much better! My DNA test shows that I’m 51% Rottweiler, 25% Boerboel, and 24% Cane Corso (Italian Mastiff), and I have a soft, velvety coat that’s as beautiful as it is cuddly. I’m about 55 lbs and was given a birthday of 10/5/22. I’ve already completed a 4-session training course for adolescent dogs, and I’m currently working through another one—I love learning new things! I walk well on a leash, know sit, paw, and lie down, and I’m fully housebroken. I sleep through the night, either in my crate or outside it, and I often retreat there just to relax. Playing fetch is one of my favorite things to do (especially in the snow!), and I’ve even been known to fall asleep with a ball in my mouth. I love to go on runs with my foster mom a few times a week. I am super playful so I’d be thrilled to have another dog to play with in my forever home!!   If you’re looking for an active, loving companion, apply to meet me at www.buffalounderdogs.com! ##2051701##

Story
I'm Molly, a 1-year-old pitty mix looking for my forever home. I am 65 lbs, already spayed and fully vetted.  I'm fully housebroken, crate-trained, and get along well with other dogs and cats, although a proper meet and greet is required. I love kids and adults too. I'm an active, well-behaved companion.  I enjoy swimming, playing fetch, cuddling, and going for car rides. I'm also excelling in obedience classes. I'm seeking a loving home that enjoys staying active and can provide me with structure. If you'd like to meet me, please fill out an application  at www.buffalounderdogs.com.  ##1710051##

Story
Mabel, a 5-year-old puppy mill survivor, is ready to find her forever family. After enduring a tough start, she has blossomed into a loving and gentle companion. Mabel's journey to healing has been made possible with the unwavering support of her bonded beagle sibling, Petals. These two adorable dogs are a package deal, as they share an unbreakable bond that has helped them navigate their world. Mabel and Petals were recently returned to the rescue through no fault of their own. Their previous human, facing unfortunate hardships, had to make the heartbreaking decision to part ways with them. Mabel thrives in the company of other dogs, and having Petals by her side brings out the best in her. They both enjoy playtime, cuddles, and the simple joy of being together. Mabel and Petals are looking for a loving family that can provide them with the stability and affection they deserve. If you have room in your heart and home for this wonderful duo, Mabel and Petals will reward you with endless love and companionship. Help them find the forever home they've been dreaming of. Adopt Mabel and Petals today!

Story
Hi there I’m Eggo! And I am indeed NOT a waffle, just a big lovable guy I am a 76 pound 2 year old pit bull mix, but most importantly I’m just a baby! I'm a big, gentle baby most of the time, but do like to play with my more energetic foster siblings. If they get rowdy and make noise, I do tend to bark to let them know I'm here and bring a toy or blanket as a peace offering so they will stop "fighting"   I love to curl up with one of my many fleece throw blanket (and in front of the fire if there's room available) for most of my days. I definitely know when to let my foster siblings have their space, but if they're napping, I'll curl up next to them in a cuddle puddle. I love fresh fruits and veggies, especially peas , carrots, and the occasional blueberry or strawberry. I'm a fiend for peanut butter and I can hear the sound of a whipped cream can from multiple rooms away. I am potty and crate trained with no accidents in the house or pen while being with my foster parents. I appreciate an incentive snack to enter my crate, but I'm getting better at going in on my own! I sleep well through the night in my crate and like to greet my foster parents with a very "biiiiiigggggg stretch" every morning. If I sound like the perfect gentleman for you, apply to meet me, Eggo, at www.buffalounderdogs.com/adopt ##2161595##

Story
Hello! My name is Lucille, aka Lucy, aka Goosey, and I’m a 3yr old pittie mix with a heart of gold.  I love to go on walks and play with my foster people. I’ve shown interest in playing with my foster fur sister, but she’s an old lady who wasn’t interested in me. When it’s time to relax, I like to snuggle next to you on the couch.  I do a funny little bunny hop when I get really excited, like when my foster parents get home or when they throw a toy for me to chase. I can be a little bit shy around new people, but I warm up quickly and then will gladly roll over and show anyone my belly for rubs.  I’m fully potty trained and I happily go in my crate when my people leave or at bedtime and don’t make a fuss. I’m very well behaved while my foster mom works from home and don’t make a peep all day! I’m spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all my shots. Do I sound like the perfect fit for you?
