Bailey

Quick Facts: Breed: Shepherd- Hound mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 2 years old Size: 60 pounds Good with… Dogs? Maybe! Cats? Unknown Kids? Yes! Hello! 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…

My name is Brook and I am the most adorable, friendly, playful puppy you could find! ***Brook is not a CDR dog and has not been evaluated by CDR. Willow’s Wings Animal Sanctuary and Rescue, near Binghamton, NY will make all decisions regarding her adoption.*** History, Personality and What I am Looking for in a Forever Home I was adopted as a small puppy by a fine person. I had a seizure and they started me on the proper medications, but that required follow-up bloodwork and they didn’t have the money for that so they stopped my medications, and then I had another seizure. Since they didn’t feel able to provide the ongoing medical care that I need, they very kindly surrendered me to Willow’s…

My name is Niu Niu, and I am the most adorable, smart, sweet dog around! History I was born in a breeder’s home in Maryland in Jan. 2017. My mom and dad brought me home when I was 2 months old.

When I was almost 2, I was in a very bad vehicle accident and barely made it out alive. So very scary and painful, but thankfully I got good veterinary care and help with rehabilitation and got to have my whole life ahead of me! I am in great shape now! I am…

History and Why I am Looking for a New Home I was adopted as a puppy by my current mom and have lived happily in my current home since. I’ve been a great girl, and have lived well with the male dog in my home, and also with the female dog in my current home until I came into heat. That was about 3 years ago, and since then, our fights have become more frequent, and more serious.

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…
