Kyra - ADOPTION PENDING

Kyra is a sweet, beautiful 4 year-old red merle spayed female. At 65 lbs, she's on the larger side. She is not really overweight, but she does needs some exercise to build muscle. Kyra is shy and startles easily, but she is quickly adapting to life inside a house.

She is low-key and quiet; she has not barked once since coming to her foster home. Kyra is good with the resident cats, in fact she is just a little afraid of them, though interested in them. She loves other dogs and quickly became attached to the resident dog.

She is low to medium energy, housebroken, and fairly high velcro. Kyra is friendly with people, but it takes her a little while to warm up. She is less fearful of women than of men. She is interested in children and though she has not yet met any up close, we believe she would be gentle.

However, because she is so easily frightened, she would be better suited to a home with older, quieter children.

Kyra is learning how to walk on leash, but needs a longer leash, as it makes her uncomfortable and worried to be followed too closely on leash. She is not interested in fetch, but she has begun to show interest in toys. She is crate trained, but she is trustworthy enough to be left loose in the house with the crate door open so she can curl up and sleep inside.

She had quickly become used to the comforts of indoor life, particularly since she learned how comfortable it is to sleep on the bed with her people. Kyra will take a while to settle into a new home, so her adopter must be understanding, patient, and gentle with her. She would do best in a home with another, more confident dog.

Kyra is fostered in Honeoye Falls, NY

Mr. Ernie

Mr. Ernie is a male red tricolored Aussie approximately 4 years old and 32 pounds who is learning what life is all about! He lived with 6 other dogs in an outdoor pen with little human interaction, so everything is new! Ernie does great with other dogs and dog savvy cats. He is medium energy and seems to do better with women then men.

He feels most comfortable outside and loves the other dogs at the foster’s house. He would make a great companion for a playful pup who needed a friend! He is very submissive and currently avoids most human contact but is learning that people are kind and can be givers of great treats/cuddles. A leash and collar make him nervous. With kindness and gentle handling he has made some progress with the leash and being with people. He crates extremely well and will sleep through the night. He doesn’t know what is and is not ok indoor behavior so it has been a learning curve which he is catching on too.

Mr. Ernie is fostered in Ontario, NY
