My name is Winston (aka Winnie-the-Pooch!) and I am a happy-go-lucky, smart dog who loves walkies and naps! History I spent the first ~5 years of my life in an extremely abusive home. My male owner was often very violent to his girlfriends, and this was terrifying and horrible to witness. Sometimes I would try to protect the women and then he would beat me terribly.

Yes, 12+! Hi! My name is Quiche Lorraine, and I LOVE LIFE!!! History: I was adopted from a local SPCA in early May 2025. All that is known is that I showed up as stray, was adopted by a family who had several other dogs, and then was surrendered back to SPCA with no reason given. Then I got adopted by my current moms, and things have been much better for me! They have helped me start to trust humans, and feel safe with them, and they have introduced me to how fun life can be. I am very grateful. It turns out that their life situation isn’t going to be a fit for me long-term, but they are committed to…

She has been with us for about a month, and she is really blossoming! She arrived with a host of normal, senior-dog medical issues that needed attention—she was overdue on all vaccines, had a very bad UTI, was quite overweight, was limping and achey all over, and had several broken teeth and a mouth full of tartar and inflammation. We’re on it and making good progress! Her UTI is already mostly cleared up, she is less achey all over and is limping less due to helpful pain meds and anti-inflammatories. Her…

My name is Bailey and I am the most adorable, playful dog around! History I had a rough first year of life and was surrendered to Herkimer Humane Society before my current mom found me. I was very anxious at the shelter, apparently the people who surrendered me were NOT NICE folks, but life has been much, much better since I got adopted. Clearly, the people who had me when I was a puppy did not treat me kindly, which has left me very skittish with men until I get to know them. I have been in my new home for a year now and they have really helped me to become less anxious and to discover my fun side! The kids in the home…
