Have you ever seen a happier dog!? 😁

Millie is a 4 year old Bernese Mountain Dog and was found as a stray (seriously, we can hardly believe it!) and never reclaimed. Since arriving at the shelter, she's made it her mission to spread happiness wherever she goes. This girl is all tail wags, belly rubs, and unconditional love. ❤️

Toys? 🧸 Meh. Treats? 🍪They're okay. People? OBSESSED. If Millie had it her way, she'd spend every second glued to your side soaking up attention and handing out kisses. 🥰

She was found running with another dog, but we'll still need to test her with other animals. As for kids? 🤸‍♂️ Absolutely! Millie would be thrilled to have tiny humans to cuddle, follow around, and shower with affection. 💞

If you're looking for a best friend who's basically a walking ray of sunshine, Millie is ready to brighten your life. ☀️🐾 518-828-6044

Greg is only 3 years old, but he’s already experienced so much heartbreak. 💔 After the passing of the only owner he ever knew, Greg came to our shelter scared, shy, and unsure of the world around him. 😔

Little by little, day by day, he’s beginning to come out of his shell. We’ve been watching his sweet personality slowly shine through. 🥰🐱 Greg gets along well with the other cats and would love nothing more than to find a loving home where he can feel safe again. 🐾

✨ All adoptions will be FREE during our Open House on June 6th! ✨

Do you love a spunky Pitbull? Perfect! Jerzey is waiting for you 🤪🐾

Jerzey is guaranteed to keep you smiling with her silly personality and nonstop antics. Just LOOK at her. 🤪

Looking for a small dog with a big personality? Meet Nova! 🐾 This 5 year old Jack Russell Terrier mix weighs just 24 pounds, but she’s got plenty of sass and spirit packed into that little body. 🤭

Nova was surrendered to us when her owners moved and couldn’t take her along. She’s looking for a quiet, adult-only home where she can settle in and be the center of attention. 🥰 We’ll be testing her with other animals soon!
Interested in meeting Nova? Give us a call! 💜 518-828-6044
