    Who Are Pet Celebrities?   The wonderful pets featured below are recommended by volunteers based on the most need, special
    circumstances, or  simply overlooked and waiting in shelters the longest.  Please give them your consideration.  Many never get a home.

    Harper is about 2 years old, a Pit Bull / Labrador mix, and she weighs about 65 pounds. This big girl is very playful and enjoys going for walks with our staff. Our shelter cats say Harper might be a little too big and playful for them - we agree, she’d do best in a home without them. Harper must meet any resident dog(s) in a potential new home, to make sure they get along. Available for Adoption at the Humane Society of Wayne County, Lyons NY
    Mini is about 2 years old, she weighs just under 50 pounds, and let's be honest - it just doesn't get any cuter than this little girl! The best part is, Mini has the personality to match, loving everyone she meets. Mini enjoys going for walks, and playing in the fall leaves that cover the ground in our play yards. Mini can sometimes be grabby with her food and treats, so we recommend caution with small children while she's eating. Mini must meet any resident dog(s) in a potential new home to make sure they get along.   Available for Adoption at the Humane Society of Wayne County, Lyons NY
    Harper: 11 month old, very long haired, female, white with brown tiger markings that was dropped off at shelter.   Per shelter,  she's very shy, and has been hanging in shelter cat room, making baby steps but she's hoping with some extra attention we can provide in Webster, she'll improve.  She needs TLC and an experienced person who will make her feel safe.  Beautiful long haired cat.    Update 3/15:  She let me carry her to the bench and comb her.  Very pretty cat, but needs to gain trust in human interactions. Not sure if she likes other cats.

    Meet DOLLY (aka Llama), a 50-pound brindle beauty with a heart of gold and an abundance of energy. She is a smart pup who is crate and house trained, and knows her basic commands. She is working on leash walking and would benefit from ongoing training and exercise. Dolly's favorite pastime is zipping around a yard, splashing in pools, and chasing her favorite ball. She is full of energy and would thrive in an active home with a fenced-in yard to expend all that energy. Dolly is a natural swimmer and loves nothing more than playing in the water.    Second Hand Dog Rescue   (585) 305-5111

    Meet MUMBLES! Mumbles is a 3 year old cattle dog mix. He is such a affectionate pup but does require an owner who understands the needs of his active breed (heeler/cattle dog). Mumbles is still very much a puppy and is VERY active, he can jump high so we do require applicants to have a fully fenced in yard 5' or higher for him. Mumbles is very unsure of other dogs, so he would do best in a home where he could get all the love and attention for himself. Mumbles LOVES his humans, loves to play and would love a home to cuddle up by your side after a nice run in the yard. He does great with kids, responds to recall, and listens to commands. Mumbles is very obedient and eager to please his humans. Second Hand Dog Rescue   (585) 305-5111
    Meet Bessie the Bobtail!  Bessie came to us as a Mom of 3 kittens. She was the BESTEST MOM there could be. Despite her swatting at us we believed we could teach her to trust us. She is not the cat to pick up yet but you can pet her and say HI and she will love on any of your other cats. She is protective to all the little ones who come in and seems to be the girlfriend of all the older ones. She has such a sweet spot for every kitty here in the rescue. We would love to find that perfect home for Bessie so she does not have to spend her life here at the rescue. A home where she can wander and find her spot in the sun and maybe your heart too!  Mr. Grey's Strays

    Victoria (Long haired beauty) 4Victoria (Long haired beauty) 4Victoria (Long haired beauty) 4Introducing the one and only Victoria! This queenly kitty is a fluffy, 2-year-old ball of love just waiting to be adored. She'll purr up a storm and soak up all the love and attention you can give her.
    But let's rewind a bit and fill you in on her story. This tough cookie had a pretty rough start, fending off male cats on the streets and raising litter after litter of little ones. When a hero finally saved her from this tough life, she was in bad shape, underfed and caring for six little ones.  Now, her little ones are all grown up, and Victoria is ready for her own happy ending. We're looking for a special family who will treat her like the royalty she is. A home with just one other kitty friend would be perfect, but absolutely no dogs or kiddos under 12. Are you the one who can give Victoria the happily ever after she deserves?  Ferals and Kittens and Cats Oh My –

    Chunkey Monkey   My name is Chunky Monkey and I'm 5 yrs old. I'm a gorgeous man, if I do say so myself, with a luxurious, soft coat of fur. I also sport a Phantom of the Opera half mask, which makes me look like quite the distinguished gentleman. I'm a gentle and affectionate guy who loves ear and head scrooches. I'll reward you with my best roll and maybe even display my curly tummy.  is a wonderful senior cat available at PetPride of NY
    Nancy is a petite, affectionate cat that was abused before being rescued by one of our members. She has a gorgeous coat with stripes that almost look like polka dots.  Nancy enjoys playing with toys and other cats. Cat & Dog friendly.  Pet Adoption Network,  Rochester NY   585 338-9175 PENNY was a last minute addition to our latest transport from Georgia death row - we saw her wagging tail and we walked by the kennel and hopeful look and smile and talked to the staff who said she was super sweet and a really nice dog, and we could not let her die. She's young like maybe just a year or so old and some kind of lab terrier mix maybe? Medium sized and a friendly pup.Second Hand Dog Rescue   (585) 305-5111
    Gracie is a gentle, reserved little girl who came from a hoarder house. She had a very bad eye infection where she came from that resulted in her needing surgery to have the painful eye removed. She’s all healed up and it doesn’t impact her one bit. She gets along great with other cats and will need a buddy to feel safe and secure. She has a few pals like Blake or Lucille who she loves to snuggle with. Come and be a part of rescue and consider giving this deserving little lady a home to finally call her own.    Habitat for Cats Meet Pablo just one of the wonderful cats available at   Habitat for Cats  We know that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner so figured what a PURRfect time to introduce a stunningly handsome boy named PABLO.  You surely will not be lonely with a gorgeous hunk like this by your side.

    Maximus came to us as a very friendly stray who craves love and attention. He also loves food!! He’s a big gentle mush at 16 pounds.  Max is neutered, vaccinated and feline leukemia negative but FIV positive. FIV cats live very long of lives indoors! In foster care, MAX bonded with ONYX, another large docile male. The two have blossomed together and very bonded - we cannot part them! Onyx is an all black sweetie, fully vetted.    Habitat for Cats Lennon is an adorable little guy! He is shy at first meetings, but he does warm up after he gains your trust and loves to play! A quiet and patient home would be best. Looking for a pair? Lennon has several littermates also available, including Celine, Whitney, Sonny, Elton and Ringo. His mama is Mariah.  Animal Service League, Rochester, NY
