Some of our wonderful pets looking for forever homes.
We have some awesome dogs for adoption and would love to help you find your perfect companion. If there is a dog on our site that interests you, the first step is to put in an application here and let us know you are interested in a certain dog on your application.
You can also email us at rambini427@gmail.com for more information on a particular dog you are interested in.
As always our dogs are placed not on a first come first serve basis, but based on who is the best fit for the dog. It may take some time to go through all of the applications, so we appreciate your patience. A reminder that we do conduct home visits and therefore applicants must live within 50 mile radius of Albany, NY.
Thank you for helping us make these wonderful animals wag their tails in joy.

Chandler

Male, Coonhound, 55 lbs, 1.5 yrs old:
Hi, Monica, Ross, Phoebe, Joey, Rachel - are you looking for your Friend? Chandler is here to be your faithful sidekick on all your adventures in life. He is a very social boy - friendly, affectionate - LOVES kids and playing with other dogs. If you enjoy the outdoors and long walks, you would be a perfect match for this pup, giving him opportunities to channel his desire to explore new scents. This goofy, FUN pup would absolutely enjoy playing games with you in your fenced in yard. He has not had much opportunity to play with squeaker toys and we would love to see that changed. While an active pup, he definitely has an off switch and can cuddle and couch surf with the best of them. He would be the ideal candidate for those who love photographing their furfriends - he would fill your gallery with his soulful eyes and everyday would be a "Tongue-Out Tuesday." He is house and crate trained . Requires a 6 foot fence.
Medical: neutered, current with vaccines and heartworm negative and microchipped.

Faith

Female, Hound mix, 8 months old, 30 pounds:
Looking for a fun addition to your home who is also a delight to photograph with her unique heterochromia eyes? Faith is a youthful girl who plays well with other dogs. She is extremely smart - easy to train and is both house and crate trained. She did very well at a recent adoption clinic - meeting and greeting all sorts of strangers - especially children. She is both loyal and goofy. She would do best in an active home that will give her both mental and physical workouts. She would be a great addition to your walks and hikes, although additional training on leash would be advisable. Requires a 5' fence
Medical: very healthy, current with vaccines and heartworm negative . Spayed. Microchipped

Buddy

Male, Beagle Mix, 29 lbs, 3.5 yrs old:
Are you looking for a chill dog who would blend smoothly into your family's home? Buddy is an owner surrender and used to living in a house with young kids, dogs, and even 3 cats - all whom he got along with very well. His family ended up with a change in their home situation and they sadly were not able to keep Buddy. They did give him a wonderful home and kept up with his medical care. He has zero aggression and just wants to be your snuggle buddy. He is neither too playful nor too couch-potatoe - kind of the perfect mix. Of course, he is house and crate trained and quite a gentleman around the home. Can't you imagine having this tri-colored pup as part of your family???? Requirs a 6' fence
Medical: neutered, current with vaccines and heartworm negative and microchipped.

Sissy
Female, Yorkie mix, 1.5 yrs old, 15 pounds:
Looking for a smaller "apartment" size pup? - well look no further than our little Sissy - or should we call her "Sassy." Sissy is a playful, feisty Yorkshire Terrior mix pup who has had a sad start in her young life. She was rescued from a hoarding situation. This has made her uncertain at times - especially when she is alone. For that reason, we will only adopt Sissy into a home with another canine companion. As you can see from our photos, she absolutely loves other dogs - of all sizes - and looks to them for guidance. We are unable to adopt her to a home without another dog since she would be too nervous by herself. Like many terrior mixes, she has a very full, lively personality. She is intellengent and would do well in a home ready to provide her with mental stimulation and interactive play. We request a fenced in yard so that she can have freedom to let some of her energy out. In her hoarding situation, she did not get much outdoor space to play so we want to change that for her! She is naturally watchful and alert to her surroundings. She is of a perfect size for various living environments, but she is looking for a stable home with mature adults only (kids make her nervous) to snuggle on the couch after her rather unorthodox beginnings. She is both crate and paper trained, but is young and will need more training. Yorkie mixes often live to 12-15 years.
Medical: very healthy, current with vaccines and heartworm negative . Spayed.
Paco

Male, Cocker Spaniel-Chihuahua Mix, 24 lbs, 2.5 yrs old:
Paco is the cuddly, friendly, energetic, and super smart boy you were looking for!!!! There is honestly nothing bad we can say about this little guy except that he can not be around cats or small children as he has some definitely herding habits - think border collie. He is just the right size for a smaller home and is light weight so can be lifted with realitive ease. We would love it if he found a home with another dog for him to play with. He absolutely LOVES AGILITY and has some basic obedience skills - he is smart and would benefit from toys or treat puzzles. Very healthy, crate/house trained, but good loose as he is not at all destructive. He will only be adopted to a home with a fenced in yard - no exceptions, as he needs a safe place to run and play.
Medical: neutered, current with vaccines and heartworm negative and microchipped.

Mack (aka Bandit)
Adult Male German Shepherd Mix, ca. 60 pounds, approximately 5-6 yrs old:
Well - we are called Good Shepherd for a reason - this good boy is for all of you shepherd lovers. Mack has a sad story of neglect and abandonment before coming to our rescue. He has blossomed over the year that he has been trained and socialized by one of our patient and caring fosters. At first, he was hesitant to be around other dogs, but now has become truly part of a pack as you see him cuddling with other pups at the rescue. Mack is a gorgeous, healthy, and loyal German Shepherd mix. He is JOYFUL and ready to play fetch or ball for hours. He is not a family dog and will not be adopted to a home with children . While he is a perfect gentleman around his foster - he is on the alert and is unpredictable when there are strangers - we think a quiet, rural home would be best. He would need a physical fence - please do not apply if you do not have a fence. We would be happy to have a conversation with you about this deserving pup to see if you would be a good match. We know that there is a person out there who is patient and kind who will give this boy the home that he was denied earlier in life! All Mack needs is someone ready to give him a chance.
Medical: Mack is current with vaccines, heartworm/Lyme negative and neutered.
