My story
Here's what the humans have to say about me:
🐾 DENNY Milo is a great, handsome young pup and fully vetted. He's friendly, playful, loves people including kids, and is great with other dogs. Our volunteers reports he is SUPER food and treat motivated and ready to learn anything you want to teach him. He also basks in praise and good lovin'. He IS a sweetheart and is quite a velcro dog and would love to be in a home with someone who is around more so he can keep an eye on them - he's a little obsessed with being with his people. He does take a little bit to warm up to new people, especially men, but with some patience and our guidance on how to handle introductions, he does great. Denny also loves to take walks and is great on a leash! He LOVES toys but needs only supervised playtime with soft ones or he will eat them (ask how we know?!)! He takes treat so gently with his big squishy mouth. He does love to play with his foster doggy siblings in his current home in their fenced yard and will do so for as long as you'll let him. But he's down for a nice cuddle sesh once he comes back in - and "winter is coming". This guy will be like hot rocks on your lap! :D For cats, we've found he chases too roughly, so we think no cats would be a better fit.(He was returned after being adopted out as a young puppy because the older dog in the home wasn't doing well with him, through no fault of Denny's - heartbreaking for all involved)
👉 Adoption fee INCLUDES: all vetting to age (including deworming, flea & tick etc), spay/neuter and microchip (if the dog is under 6 months, alter and chip will occur after they're 6 months, covered in full at our clinic or reimbursed partially at a vet of your choosing). If the dog is older than 6 months and not yet altered, we will schedule ASAP (normally within 30 days) at our clinic . We also provide as an incentive a $60 rebate for completion of positive-based training classes. Adoption also includes lifetime support of the rescue.

✍ APPLICATION PROCESSING: We do most application processing virtually and dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS. We are not a shelter and are completely volunteer foster-based, so there is no central place to come see all of the dogs available.
📌 IMPORTANT NOTES: ** Housetraining with rescues is sometimes a work in progress and even if a dog is 100% in a foster's home, it should be expected there will be an adjustment period as a dog adapts to a new environment. This is even more true if the dog has not by chance had their altering appointment at time of adoption. ** Also, we highly recommend some form of 2-week shutdown and decompression for dogs going to a new home for best results. --> Lastly, breed guesses in rescue are just that (GUESSES!!) 99.9% of the time. We do not do DNA testing and our breed guesses are based on appearance and sometimes other traits, but we know the dog breed guessing game is a fool's errand even for those with LOTS of experience.
🗺 ADOPTION AREA: several hour radius of Rochester, NY (Canada within 3 hours IS allowed, except that young puppies need to be old enough to have gotten their rabies vaccination to cross the border - usually around 16 weeks)
