Gender: Male, neutered Age: 4-ish years old Size: 14 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? Yes! History: You could say I’m an international man of mystery!  It’s hard to say where I came from, but someone obviously cared for me at some point.  I was found stray in the Ithaca area at the very end of June and luckily one of the neighbors there offered to care for me until my owners could be found. They put the word out online via FB, reported me to the local SPCA, and had me checked for a microchip (there was none) but shockingly, no one ever came looking for me.  Cayuga Dog Rescue offered to take me into their foster program, and I get to keep…

In March, she fell and broke her hip and was no longer able to take care of us. Luckily, her son came and got us and took us to his home in Ithaca, where we have been ever since.

It’s very sad. I had to be kept in the garage for a…
