716 PAWS Saving lives, one bark at a time. Rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding forever homes for dogs. We help both local and out of state animals find homes.

716 Paws is a group of avid animal advocates who knows its our responsibility and passion to help both families and animals find their perfect match. We are a volunteer-based animal rescue group founded to facilitate the placement of animals into their best-matched forever home. Our goal is to reduce the overall euthanasia rate amongst canines and to give both dog and human alike a forever companion. Transitioning to life with a new dog can be challenging for an owner, and in the same respect, transitioning to a new home can be challenging for an animal. This is why 716 Paws offers programs for adoption-adaptation. We work tirelessly to make sure that each dog’s new home is their forever home.

🐾 ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM A LACK OF SOMEONE NEEDING YOU CONSTANTLY? 🐾

Are you newly retired? An empty nester? Do you have teenagers who only acknowledge your existence when they need money, food, or a ride somewhere?

HAVE I GOT THE DOG FOR YOU! πŸ˜‚

Meet ANTHONY β€” a handsome, hilarious, slightly oversized puppy who is ready to become the center of your universe. And unlike your teenagers, he will actually be excited when you come home. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. ❀️

Anthony has been searching for his forever family for OVER SEVEN MONTHS, which is frankly ridiculous considering his qualifications:

🐾 Professional Snuggler: A+ rating. No personal space required. Your couch is now our couch.

🐾 Fitness Enthusiast (Within Reason): Enjoys three short walks a day, some backyard adventures, and the occasional hike in the woods. He's active, but he's not training for a marathon. Neither are you? Perfect.

🐾 Social Butterfly: Loves other dogs and would happily share his home with canine siblings. But he's also perfectly willing to be your one and only. He doesn't judge.

🐾 Entertainment Specialist: Runs like a complete goofball, occasionally chases his own tail (still hasn't caught it), and enjoys a good game of fetch. Unlike most teenagers, he actually returns things when asked.

🐾 Excellent Travel Companion: Loves car rides! No complaining about your music, asking how much longer, or requesting a drive-through stop every 20 minutes.

🐾 Good Listener: Knows some basic commands and is learning more. He may even listen better than your spouse.

🐾 Creature of Habit: Loves a consistent routine. Walks, meals, playtime, naps, repeat. Honestly, he's basically a retiree with fur.

Now, let's address the elephant (or rather, the adorable dog) in the room.

Anthony has a history of seizures. We suspect this has made some potential adopters nervous. But here's the good news: He hasn't had a seizure in over FIVE MONTHS! πŸŽ‰

His condition is currently well managed with medication and a special diet. And administering his medication? Easy. Just add peanut butter or cheese. Anthony considers this a gourmet dining experience and has absolutely no idea he's receiving medical treatment. πŸ§€πŸ₯œ

A few things about his dream home:

Anthony would do best in an active, loving home without small children or cats. Other dogs? Absolutely! No other dogs? Also fine! More attention for Anthony!

He needs someone who appreciates a routine, enjoys a few walks, and doesn't mind having a furry shadow who thinks they're the most fascinating person alive.

And really, when was the last time someone thought you were THAT interesting? πŸ˜‚

So, if your kids have stopped hugging you, your spouse is tired of your attention, or you simply have room in your heart for one more lovable goofball, ANTHONY IS ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS. 🐢❀️

He doesn't need a perfect home. He just needs HIS home.

🏑 PLEASE SHARE! Somewhere out there is Anthony's person, and we'd really like them to stop dragging their feet. Seven months is long enough!

Demi
Breed: Mixed Breed (possibly Corgi/dachshund)
DOB: 10/5/2020 (6 years)
S*x: Spayed Female
Location: Buffalo

** Must have fenced in yard **

Meet Demi! Demi is an absolute peach! πŸ‘ This sweet little girl is calm, quiet, and respectful of her surroundings, making her a wonderful addition to just about any home.

Demi enjoys the simple things in life, like a nice, soft pillow by the fire and being close to her favorite person. ❀️. She likes being near her person, but doesn’t necessarily need you to pick her up so she can be close. She also has an independent side and is perfectly content doing her own thing while still enjoying your company.

Demi is potty trained and gets along well with other dogs and cats. Demi is working on her leash skills at this time and will need patience from her adopter as she gets used to this concept.

If you’re looking for a gentle, easygoing companion who will happily keep you company during a cozy evening at home, Demi might just be your perfect match! πŸ’•

If you are interested in adopting Demi, please apply at www.716paws.org or message the page to get on her list if you are already approved.

Name: Helena
DOB: 10/21/2023
Breed: Chihuahua
S*x: Female (spayed)
Weight: 6 lbs.
Location: Buffalo

Hi, I’m Helena! I may be small, but I have a huge heart full of love to share. I’m looking for a forever home where I can snuggle up on the couch with my special someone and enjoy being part of the family.

I’m a curious, playful little girl who enjoys exploring my surroundings and discovering what life has to offer. When I’m done exploring, I’m happy to curl up beside you for some cuddle time!

I get along well with other dogs and children, and I’m crate trained. I haven’t been tested with cats, so we’re not sure how I would do with a feline friend. At just 6 pounds, I’m the perfect little purse companion!

If you’re looking for a sweet Chihuahua full of charm and affection, I could be your girl!

If you are interested in adopting Helena, please apply at www.716paws.org/adopt or message the rescue if you’re already approved. I can’t wait to meet you!

Location: Buffalo

Hi, I’m Posie! I’m a sweet, petite girl looking for a forever home where I can feel safe and loved. I can be a little shy at first, so I’ll need some patience while I get comfortable and let my adorable personality shine.

Once I warm up, you’ll find me snuggling beside you on the couch and sharing gentle kisses. At just 6 pounds, I’m the perfect little companion to keep close by!

I’m great with other dogs and children, and I’m crate trained. I haven’t been tested with cats, so we’re not sure how I would do with a feline friend.

If you’re looking for a tiny sweetheart and have the patience to help me blossom, I could be your girl! If you are interested in adopting Posie, please apply at www.716paws.org/adopt or message the rescue if you’re already approved to adopt. I can’t wait to meet you!

Name: Hank
DOB: 04/05/2026 (est)
Breed: Terrier Mix
S*x: Male (neutered)
Weight: 25 lbs.
Location: Southtowns

Hi, I’m Hank and I came here from Texas to find my forever home. I already love WNY - running around the yard with the resident dog, laying in the sun or napping next to her on a dog bed. I also have fun playing with all her toys (I have been known to hoard them, even after just a few days) and then cuddling with my foster parents and their dog watching TV. It’s so relaxing (other than sometimes when they’re watching the Sabres game. I haven’t experienced a Bills game yet, but they told me to learn Go Bills!)

I am potty trained and I sleep in my crate all night without a peep. I haven’t met any kids but think I’d be good - I am very friendly and always looking for a pet or a hug. I met the cat and seemed fine, but she stays away. I’m not sure why because I’m the sweetest. I’m very food motivated so training should be easy. I’m already pretty good at sit.

My favorite things are following my foster mom and dog (I split my time so they both know I’m here for them), playing with toys, laying on the deck or having some zoomies with the dog then I’m ready for some heavy duty napping time. I also love in the evening when I can curl up next to my foster mom and dad and cuddle. It’s wonderful to feel warm and safe.

If you’re looking for a sweet Terrier mix to spend your days and nights with, I’m your guy.

If you are interested in adopting Hank, please apply at www.716Paws.org/adopt or message the rescue if you’re already approved to adopt. I can’t wait to meet you!

🚨Rocket is in need of a new foster home. His foster placement was only temporary to get him out of boarding while their work schedule could allow it. Unfortunately all the applications for him fell through and they decided not to adopt at this time. Rocket needs a pet free home or he will be forced to go back into boarding. Please, please, please open up your home if you can for this little couch snugglerπŸ’”πŸš¨

Name: Rocket
Breed: Mixed Breed
DOB: 6/9/2024
S*x: Male Neutered
Location: Buffalo

Meet Rocket! πŸš€ β€” A Whole Lot of Love in a 45-Pound Package! ❀️
Rocket is a little over 2 years old, weighs about 45 pounds, and is ready to find the loving forever home he deserves! This handsome boy is a little ham with a big heart who absolutely loves to cuddle. πŸ₯°

🏑 The good stuff about Rocket:
βœ… Crate trained
βœ… Potty trained
βœ… Does well on a leash
βœ… Food motivated (treats are definitely the way to his heart! πŸ˜‰)
βœ… Professional couch lounger and bone chewer
❀️ Certified cuddle bug!

Rocket would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can soak up all the love and attention for himself. He has not yet been tested with cats, so we don't know how he would do with feline friends.
You may notice that Rocket is looking a little too skinny right now. β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή He's been under stress in a boarding facility, but since coming into a home environment, he's acclimating well and beginning to settle in. He's showing us that what he really wants is a comfortable couch, his favorite bones, a safe place to relax, and someone who will love him unconditionally.

Rocket doesn't need a fancy life. He just wants to be somebody's boy. He wants to feel safe, be spoiled, snuggle up on the couch, and finally know what it means to be home. πŸ‘πŸ’•

Could you be the one Rocket has been waiting for? He has so much love to give and is just waiting for someone to give him a chance. Please consider opening your heart and home to this sweet boy. He deserves his happily ever after! 🐢❀️

If you are interested in adopting Rocket, please apply at www.716paws.org/adopt or message the page if already approved!
