Meet Benz, a 1 year old, Neutered, Domestic Short Hair. Benz spent over 24 hours perched on top of a utility pole until the fire department came to his rescue and brought him to the shelter.

Meet Aussie, a 10 month old, Neutered, Shepherd mix. Aussie is a very affectionate and playful pup who is easy to walk on a leash, although he does pull sometimes when he gets excited. He loves to sit close and snuggle and watch what’s going on around him in the neighborhood. He’s a very smart boy who listens well, knows the Sit command and appears housetrained. He’s also good with other dogs. Obedience training is recommended for him so she can continue building confidence along with creating a strong bond with his new forever family. Rochester Animal Services Driv ing Instructio ns to RAS	Meet Achilles, a 2 year old, Neutered, German Shepherd mix. Achilles is a very happy, young boy who is looking for a loving forever family that will make him part of their daily life. He’s a very smart boy who listens well, works for treats and knows the Sit, Down, and Paw commands and appears housetrained. He’s also good with other dogs. Achilles has a case of Happy Tail. This means because he’s such a happy boy he wags his tail so much it hits the sides of his kennel so much that the tip of his tail bleeds. Rochester Animal Services Driv ing Instructio ns to RAS
Grass? What's Grass? Herkimer was born July 19, 2005 and weighs about 5 lbs. He is with us because a breeding facility had to reduce it's numbers and this lucky boy made the cut! Update from foster mom: Yup, it was pretty obvious that those groosely swollen feet had never touched grass, or a wooden deck, or a soft sofa. It was dreadfully obvious that each and every step was painful. Result of living on a wire bottom crate. Saves cleaning you know. But, we have come a long way baby! Herkimer not only craves attention, he demands it. Long way from hiding behind every piece of furniture he could get to. He does better every time with the groomer. Read More............. Joyful Rescues (716) 372-3661 Email Joyful Rescues Read About Puppy Mills	Meet Poppy, a 5 year old, Rat Terrier/ Chihuahua Mix. Poppy was relinquished due to a new people baby in the home. LOL, he actually is currently running on a treadmill to meet his weight reduction goal. He gets 2 workouts a day for 1/2 hour each on the treadmill. What a sport he is! The new owner will need to be vigilant with continued exercise to keep him slim and happy. He is about 5 years young and if you research the breed, you will learn that they have longevity up to 18 years. The foster mom has nothing but kind words to say about Poppy. He is good with adults, other dogs and grown children, but he torments the cat. He loves to snuggle, get belly rubs, and sleeps on a blanket on the sofa. Since he is fully housebroken, I have not had the need to crate him. He wines, barks or goes to the door when he needs to potty. He is VERY sweet and can't wait to find his forever home. Read More!

Meet: Buster, a male, Cairn Terrier Mix. Buster is 2 years old. Buster came to us with his "brother" Buddy. He does have a rather high pitched bark.

Happy Tails" Humane Society of Ontario County (585) 396-4590	Meet Lucy, a 1 yr old beautiful long-haired gray cat, who, as you can see, likes nothing better than to make herself comfortable wherever she can, even if its a tight fit!

Rudy's Rescue - Upstate NY Labrador Retriever Rescue 585-482-2211	G.R.A.S.P. Responded to a Hoarding Situation - Needs Foster Home Help or Donations GRASP was contacted about a hoarding situation. There were about 50 cats in a home and most of them were tiny babies. Fortunately they are all extremely friendly. GRASP has secured fosters and has been removing them from the home but we need more fosters for the cats/kittens rescued on a daily basis. We are also asking for donations to help with vet care for the cats removed from the home. All need to be combo tested, spayed/neutered, treated for fleas, de-wormed and vaccinated. If you think you could foster, please fill out and submit an online cat application. If you can’t foster but could make a donation toward their vet care, please do so via our General Fund Paypal account or mailing by a donation.

Animal Activism Alerts Tyson Foods allows pigs in its supply chain to be locked inside tiny "gestation crates," barely larger than the pigs own bodies, for nearly their whole lives. The animals are caged like this during their four-month-long pregnancy, taken from the gestation crate and put into another crate to give birth, re-impregnated, and then put back into a gestation crate so the cycle can repeat. It's hard to imagine a worse existence. Several other leading pork companies are actively moving toward more humane systems, but Tyson is lagging far behind. Tyson Foods is one of the nation's leading pork companies, and we need your help to move the company to do the right thing. Click here to Voice Your Concerns to Tyson
Cid has grown into a truly wonderful dog! This sweet boy's personality is as gorgeous as his markings. He walks beautifully on a leash, only pulling when he is VERY excited, but is easily redirected (especially if you have a treat for him!) He is fully house and crate trained, he hasn't had a single accident ONCE since being back with his foster family. He gets along wonderfully with his doggie foster brothers and sister, two of whom are 50 pounds and one who weighs in at only 10 pounds -- he plays very appropriately with all of them.

She has stolen the hearts of quite a few people through her journey to rescue! Read more. Pitty Love Rescue pittyloverescue@gmail.com
Meet Grover who is a super friendly, talkative kitty. He was born 6/21/2011. He follows his foster mom around like a dog and is very affectionate and playful. He gets along great with dogs, however, he is very aggressive with other cats. Therefore, he will not be placed in a home with other cats. Grover is also a "door dodger" (meaning he tries to get outside whenever the door is opened). Because of this, we don't recommend he be placed in a home with small children who tend to leave the door open a little too long. Another Chance Pet Rescue 234-0942	Meet Bugsy, an approximately 4 month old, Pitt Bull Terrier mix available for adoption at Going to the Dogs Rescue!

Hi again everyone, it's me Junior! I'm a 3 year old, neutered male, Basset/Beagle mix. This is my 3rd try at getting my forever home. I am such a wonderful dog, I pretty much love everyone!! I have gone to homes with other dogs, but I guess they don't appreciate how much I enjoyed their company. The kind people at the shelter feel its best that I am the only dog in my new home, since it has not worked out for me yet when there has been a dog. My wish list for a new family is one with children, oh how I love kids!!! I would love to have a few doggie friends that I can get together with for play time, since I really enjoy their company!! Available at Scottsville Veterinary Adoptions	Meet Mr. Chips! This cute little boy weighs 35 lbs and is 4 1/2 months old - we have neutered him and he has rec'd all his vaccinations. He is also micro chipped, housebroken and crates very well. We think he is a super boy and will make someone a nice companion. He is active puppy due to his breed mix and his age...so the best home would be someone who runs or goes for long walks. We would like the children to in the teens as he is a active dog and would do better with this age group. Email Lori @ Lmufford@rochester.rr.com. Duffy's Friends, Inc.
Tiny is a two-year-old male Shetland sheepdog/Pit Bull terrier mix who weighs 19 pounds. He just loves to run around, flop over and show you his tummy! We think that this little guy lived the first two years of his life in a home where he did not get to meet many people or other dogs or go to any new places. When Tiny first arrived at the shelter, he was very fearful and would not even walk on a leash. Through a lot of hard work, training, and time he is now a friendly, happy dog, but occasionally is still frightened by normal everyday things. Tiny will need a quiet home with patient people who are interested in continuing his training and socialization in order to help him be the best little dog he can be. This handsome fellow would do best in a home without young children. And, being very timid around other dogs, we will first need to be sure that Tiny will get along with any dogs currently in your home. If you think you can give Tiny, #15440410, a chance at his forever home, please email rlohnes@lollypop.org or call 585-223-1330 ext 258 to set up a time to meet him.

Bambi is a beautiful gray lady who was born in 2006. She is very petite with tiny feet. She is affectionate, but needs to get to know you first, so adoption has not been easy. Give her a chance and time, and she will blossom. Hearthside Cats, Inc. (585) 243-0873 vraschi@aol.com	Meet Scooby is a 1 year old, Pointer mix.
