Kasey is a nine-year-old female German shepherd mix who weighs 58 pounds. She found herself at Lollypop Farm when her family moved and didn't take her with them. Kasey has quite a lot to say when she's in her kennel, but once she's sure that you're there to visit with her, she quiets right down. This pretty lady walks very well on her leash, and enjoys exploring the courtyard. Kasey would do best in a home without young children. She should meet any dogs currently living in your home, just to make sure that everyone will be friends. Kasey is eligible for our Seniors-for-Seniors program. An approved adopter, age 60 or older, can bring this girl home at no charge. Can you give Kasey the forever home she deserves? If you would like more information about Kasey (#19476086), please call 585-223-1330 or visit Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester at 99 Victor Rd. in Fairport, NY.	Tara is a nine-year-old Domestic shorthair mix who was brought to Lollypop Farm when her family was moving. This lovely kitty who enjoys searching for just the right spot to curl up in. Show her some attention and she'll carry on a conversation with you! Give her a chance and she'll prove to you what a great cat she is. Tara is also eligible for Lollypop Farm's Seniors-for-Seniors program. If you're age 60 or older, and approved as an adopter, she can "follow" you home at no charge. Come and meet Tara the Tiger today! If you would like more information about Tara (#1076659) please call 585-223-1330 or visit Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester at 99 Victor Rd. in Fairport, NY.
Hardy was born about January 22, 2005 and weighs about 40 lbs. He is quiet, relatively calm, loving, happy as can be, totally non aggressive including being great with the other dogs. He does have an underbite that makes him all the cuter! Hardy is here because his human became seriously ill and could no longer care for him. Bugsy's Note: There is a video at this link of him on the third photo of him. Jo yful Rescues (716) 372-3661 Email Joyful Rescues	I'm "Nippy", but lovable! Mocha Keller was born about 11/8/07 and weighs about 10 lbs. This little guy is C U T E ! He's been good around other dogs and cats. He's said to be house trained but we need to caution with changes there may be an adjustment time and some of these little dogs have accidents throughout their lives and benefit from floor potty pads. He is good on leash and will hang with you off leash. Mocha does fine in a car. He is just adorable, loving and waiting for you!

Mambo is a 12 pound, 2 year old apricot poodle mix. Because of changes in his owner's work schedule, they were no longer able to give him the attention he deserved. Mambo is a spirited little guy who is full of energy and loves nothing better than to go for long walks. He has become his foster mom's exercise partner, as he can really move once he gets going! He makes it a point though to stop and greet everyone we come in contact with. He absolutely loves people! As can be the case in poodles and other small breeds, and is in fact quite common, Mambo has patella luxation in one of his legs. As can also be the case, this has not caused any ill effect or affected Mambo's mobility.

Boone is a ten month old Coonhound/ Shepherd mix. He weighs about 55 lbs but is very slender and leggy. Boone is rather shy by nature and takes a while to warm up to people, but once he does he loves them for life. He’s a good cuddler once he trusts you and feels comfortable with you. He is quiet and not much of a barker, but he will bark when he wants to go outside or when playing with the other dogs. Boone absolutely loves other dogs and is constantly playing with them, baiting them and laying with them. He would do best in a home with another dog. Read More.

Sunny has been at the rescue for a week and is coming along nicely. She is still a little reserved but after just a few minutes is willing to be your friend and even gives you a kiss. She is approximately 2 1/2 years old. She is house trained and crate trained. We feel with a little love and patience she will blossom. Sunny is scheduled for a vet check on May 3. If you have been looking for a small dog to be your companion, please consider Sunny. She hasn't had the easiest start to life and certainly deserves to be someone's love bug.

Carly is the apple of her foster mom's eye and brings much joy, laughter and kisses to her on a daily basis. This young lady, like her brothers and sisters, had a rough start in life. They were found extremely emaciated and full of worms. They gained weight only to fall victim to mange. Carly, like her siblings, has beat the pants off any illness that has come her way. She is 100% crate trained and house trained. She is very sweet and loving. This little girl can win your heart over in no time at all!! She has not met a dog she doesn't like. Carly comes on playfully strong when meeting a new dog, so she will need a relaxed doggie companion if you already have a dog. She also shares a bedroom with a crated rabbit and she is just fine!

She arrived at the shelter emaciated and with sores on her ears and tail from being in a crate that was way to small for her. She had ear infections and every time she shook her head her ears would be cut up on the bars...the same happened when she wagged her tail...and wow does this girl wag her tail!! She is now putting on weight and her sores and spirit are healing. She has the most gorgeous colored coat and beautiful brown eyes. She is fine with other dogs and curious about the cats but leaves them alone. She loves to sit on your lap and even smiles when you ask her to.

Davey (a 2 year old Hound/ American Staffordshire Terrier) came to us from Philly where he was found as a stray with a horrible case of demodectic mange (non contagious) which cost him almost all of his hair. He was on medications and his hair has almost completely grown back in, but he has had some allergy issues that have caused some set backs where he needed to be put back on antibiotics. He cannot eat 'cheaper' quality dog food. This boy is a SWEETHEART! He is smart, and great with my children (foster home) and other dogs. He has not been around cats, but he is not an aggressive dog, he may just play too rough for one. I have NO idea what his family history, but I can tell you that he appears to have hound mix in him. He has quite the howl (thus the hound label) and his coloring. We would like to see an application for him that has a fully fenced yard and able to take him to required obedience class. Going to the Dogs Rescue! Email	Nikkel, a Bichon Frise, is a senior boy who just wants a warm bed and a family to love. He is 12 years old and in good health. He’s neutered, up to date with vaccinations and friendly. Nikkel occasionally has trouble with hot spots, which is common in the breed. Other than that, you would never be able to tell that he is 12 years old. He loves his walks and snuggle time. He of course loves his tasty treats too! Nikkel is crate trained and housebroken. He would love to have a companion and friend of his own for the rest of his life. We can assure you that he will love you like he’s been with you forever. If you’re willing to give this sweet senior boy a forever home, please submit your adoption application today! Buffalo Pug & Small Breed Rescue Inc., Email Lindsay

He loves having other dogs to play with, and he runs like the wind around the yard chasing the other dogs and letting them chase him. He loves to go for a walk and walks well on a leash. In the house he enjoys sleeping, chewing on an Nylabone and being petted. He is eager to learn and very treat motivated. His “sit” is very good as is his “wait” which we use before feeding, going in and out of the house, and at the top of the stairs. We are working on “down” and “stay”. Read Much More!

Judy's comments on Toby. I have known and cared for him for 3 months, 8 hours a week. Meet Toby. (LOL Toby-Wan Kenobi - as volunteer Karen calls him.) Toby is one of the most handsome, playful, even-tempered 1+ year old males I have ever met. He has been in our shelter system since 5/25/12, when he was still (per photo) a wee man. A quirk of fate, has left him unselected as a kitten until now. He just never gets picked. He has rotated around and around the Humane Society of Wayne County. adoption centers In PETCO, PetSmart Victor, the shelter, and now at Webster PetSmart. Continued in next cube.........................	Toby defers to all other cats - after all he has lived with cats his whole life - I don't know if he ever had a house (home). No hissing, biting, fighting, a true man for all seasons. I love him because he is handsome, has gorgeous blue eyes, is a tiger, but has red understones to his undercoat, plays, plays, plays, and he made friends with Dixie - a cat who was rescued from an abuse situation and Dixie has a bad eye. Why hasn't he been adopted. I believe he wasn't as snuggly as some kittens when he was younger. He still doesn't want you to restrain him, but geez my boy Jerry (1 year old) doesn't want me to do that either. Wonderful, Wonderful boy. Does not need to go with Dixie, but man what a supurb adoption that would be. We want a special home for Toby -------- he is a great young man!
