👑 HIS ROYAL FLUFFINESS, KING BONGO, IS SEEKING STAFF 👑

Not a pet owner. Not a dog parent.
Staff.

Bongo is accepting applications for a full-time personal assistant, snack provider, and professional admirer.
At 7 years old, this distinguished Pomeranian gentleman has developed a refined appreciation for the finer things in life:
✨ Personal space
✨ Quiet surroundings
✨ Being approached respectfully
✨ Meals served privately
✨ Men (they seem to be his favorite subjects)
✨ The ability to choose when affection happens

Think of Bongo as a cat who accidentally downloaded himself into a dog body.
Will he smother you with kisses the second you meet him? Absolutely not.
Will he demand constant attention? Also no.

Will he slowly decide you're worthy of his trust and then grace you with affection when he feels like it?
Now we're talking.

Bongo came from a difficult past that left him unsure about the world. He's still learning that leashes aren't scary, people can be kind, and life doesn't have to be so hard. Because of this, he's looking for an adult-only home where things move at his pace.

His ideal household would include:
🏡 A calm environment
🏡 Someone home often
🏡 Humans who understand that relationships are built, not rushed
🏡 Respect for his personal dining preferences (he likes to eat separately from other pets)

The shelter sees a cautious little dog. His foster family sees something more:
❤️ A dog who seeks attention
❤️ A dog who is learning to trust
❤️ A dog who wants connection, just on his own timeline
Bongo isn't looking for everyone.
He's looking for his person.

And if you're patient enough to earn a spot in his royal court, we think you'll discover a pretty special little dog hiding beneath all that fluff.
👑 Apply within. Royal references preferred.

(Bongo is currently in foster, please call the APF to set up a time to meet him! 518-374-3944.)

Sweet Grace is a seasoned orange tabby who has mastered the art of relaxation. At 10 years young, she's looking for a calm, loving home where she can enjoy cozy naps, quality cuddle time, and the simple pleasures in life. Grace has a gentle, affectionate side and would love nothing more than a warm lap and a peaceful place to call her own. If you're searching for a low-key companion with plenty of love to give, Grace may be your perfect match. Come visit her and fall in love, Tuesday- Saturday 12-4:15pm.

A huge thank you to Steve Caporizzo & Steve Caporizzo's Pet Connection for welcoming us to the studio yesterday and helping us film a special promo for Woofstock!

Steve has been a longtime friend to animals in our community, and we are incredibly grateful for his continued support of the Animal Protective Foundation and the pets we serve.

Now it’s almost time!

Join us this Sunday, June 7, for Woofstock at the Lions Pavillion at Collins Park in Scotia. The day kicks off with our 5K Run/Walk, but you don’t have to participate in the race to enjoy the fun. The festival begins at 11:00 AM and is open to everyone!

Come enjoy food trucks, vendors, live music, pet-focused activities, adoptable animals, and a great day celebrating the human-animal bond.

Whether you’re running, walking, shopping, eating, or simply spending the day with fellow animal lovers, every dollar raised helps support the homeless, abused, neglected, and abandoned animals that depend on APF.

We can’t wait to see you there!
