My name is Zazu, and I am a sweet, snuggly girl with a heart (and eyes) of gold! History I came to Ithaca, NY from a shelter in Virginia in 2020.

Quiche Lorraine

Breed: Labrador/Pitbull/Boxer Gender: Female, spayed Age: 3 year old Size: 70 pounds Good with… Dogs? Probably! With the right dog! Cats? Probably! See more info in Cohabitation section. Kids? 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…

(fostered with cat now and he is curious & respectful but she hides too efficiently for him to engage) Kids? We think so! 8+! History Meet Baba Voss! If the name leaves you scratching your head, check out the TV series “See.” Voss has been sight-impaired since birth. He can see some shadows and more out of one eye vs. the other. You’d never notice unless you were looking for this! We rescued him from a shelter in rural NC, where the amazing shelter staff advocated against his being euthanized. He was unlikely to find an adoptive home there, but we knew we’d be able to find him a great home in the Ithaca area! Personality…

Adopted: Bruce

Quick Facts: Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Gender: Male, neutered Age: 2 years old Size: 60 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Some cats! Kids? Yes! 13+ Hello! My name is Bruce and I am a sweet and loving boy who loves to relax in the sun! History I was adopted from a foster home in Texas and brought to New York in July 2022 to live with my current family. I had been with my foster mom in Texas for ~2 months and before that I had lived in a shelter. My early life is unclear, but it’s left me with some anxieties that make it hard for me to live with young rambunctious kids. I’m extremely sweet and loving and my family loves me deeply, but I think I will thrive more in a house without very small kids. Personality I am 90% a cuddly couch potato! I…

Adopted: Harper

Quick Facts: Breed: Pitbull mix Gender: Female Age: 7 Months old Size: 39 pounds (and growing!) Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? Yes! Hi I’m Harper, I love all people, new friends and old, men and women, children and seniors! History My background is sad. I was probably born with demodectic mange (the kind of mange that is not contagious to people or other animals). I had no medical treatment and was kept in a bathroom itching like crazy for months. This created a lot of infection and wounds on my skin and I had no relief. I was also very malnourished/super skinny and dehydrated. I got rescued and my rescuer immediately took me to the vet hospital, and they kept me for 3 days in order to get me stable. I am so grateful for that! But THEN…things got even better! I got to come home from the…

Adopted: Flissie

Quick Facts: Breed: Pocket Pittie Gender: Female, spayed Age: 6 years old Size: 40 pounds Good with… Dogs? See summary Cats? Unknown Kids? Yes, 12+! ***Flissie is not a CDR dog but please fill out an application and it will be forwarded to her rescuer!*** History, Personality, and Why I’m Looking for a New Home Flissie (an affectionate form of Felicity) we think has quite a sad story, even though she is an exceptionally joyful girl (we and her veterinarians have inferred her past based on her condition and her behavior). She probably spent the first two years of her life in a cage, almost all the time. She also must have tried to chew her way out of it based on her having only three remaining canine teeth (we got her the dental surgery she desperately needed). When we adopted her, she had no idea about how to be…

My name is Boss (aka “Chewie”….for my Chewbacca sounds 😊), and I’m a SUPER affectionate boy and a lover of ALL people, big small! History and Why I Am Looking for a New Home When I was about 1½ years old, I was just skin-on-bones, was heartworm-positive, and was about to be “put to sleep” the next day in a kill shelter in Georgia. But then…a kind young man rescued me and nurtured me back to health! But just a year later, his circumstances changed and he couldn’t take care of me anymore, so his mother became my foster mama. She loves me VERY much and would never willingly give me up, but she is changing jobs…
