Viv here “celebrating” my 6 month anniversary of coming to the shelter. 😏
Hoping today's my lucky 🍀 day to catch someone’s eye again.
Been making lemonade out of lemons 🍋 for 6 months now, not complaining, not causing any trouble just being my sweet quiet self but that isn’t working so I’m here sending an SOS 🆘 hoping someone will give me a chance and let me get into a home 🏡 and show you what the volunteers know - I'm a wonderful dog!

Get in touch with my friends and they’ll tell you more about how to meet me!

⚠️ Attention little dog lovers!!⚠️

If you're looking for a small sized addition to your family, look no further than this little guy😍

Ollie is an approximately 18 month old chihuahua mix who was picked up by dog control officers after neighbors said he was living in the backyard of a vacant property that people had just moved out of. He is on the larger side for a small breed, and probably weighs between 16 and 18 pounds. Ollie has settled in a bit at the shelter, and has started to show his cuddly side. He's good with other dogs, but would prefer they match his calm personality so he doesn't get too scared or overwhelmed. Ollie would love a patient family who is willing to let him blossom in their home! 🐾

If you'd like to meet Ollie, please fill out an application here: https://friendsofcbas.org/adopt

Black dogs are often overlooked in shelters, but there a lot of great reasons to adopt a black dog! For example: they're easy to find in the snow, their fur is invisible on your black winter coat, and black is always chic!! We have a lot of wonderful black dogs at the shelter right now - they include Ranger, Nelly, and Raven 🖤

If you're interested in meeting any of these dark-haired doggos, apply at https://friendsofcbas.org/adopt today!

03/15/2023

Bailey is a sweet mix of pit and possibly smaller shepherd breed. He is approximately 1 1/2 years old and he does appear to be housebroken, but we always recommend patience during the adjustment period after adoption as the dog gets used to his new routine. This guy has a great combination of goofball and lover and is on the smaller side. He loves his squeaky toys, and he does not engage much with other dogs during introductions with us so far. If you are looking for an adorable new companion like Bailey, please stop in soon and meet this handsome pup!

Bailey will have a reduced adoption fee because he was already neutered before he came to us.

Happy from Roscoe!

Roscoe was surrendered to the shelter by no fault of his own and was pretty confused by the environment at first, but is coming out of his shell. This handsome guy has a beautiful coat and mesmerizing eyes 😍 and is estimated to be about 7 months old. He appears to be housebroken, walks great on leash and loves a good belly rub 🫶

Just a lil puppy from Mason to start your day 👅

Mason is an approximately 5 month old Heinz 57 mixed breed boy (your guess is as good as ours! We think maybe chow/mastiff?) who came to us a stray and was never claimed. We think he will be in the 70 to 80 pound range when he reaches full maturity 🐶

One of our volunteers recently spent time with him and told us that "This dog is SO SMART it’s ridiculous!! He would be super fun to do training with once he’s adopted!" He likes to be as close as possible with his human and has little regard for personal space. Mason has done well with other dogs and may benefit from having a confident older sibling to model himself after 💕

Puppies (especially non-bully breeds) get adopted quickly, so apply for this sweetheart ASAP at https://friendsofcbas.org/adopt👍

Good morning! Welcome to another edition of ! This week, we're featuring Heidi 🥰 Her mom writes:

"This sweet old dog was adopted in March 2011. She was Mary Jane at the shelter, and now is Heidi. We got her when my daughters were 1 and 4. She has been the most fabulous dog ever. We got her because she was gentle and so sweet. She would take food from my baby's hand so gently; she still does.

She had an adopted brother for three years. Her brother came from a horrible situation and was scared of everything. Heidi was the one that got him out of his shell, and even though he was only with us for three years, she was the reason those three years were happy. She now has a younger adopted sister who adores her. Even at 13 or 14, she still plays with her and lets the small dog 'win.'

She has meant so much to so many people. Everyone who meets her falls in love. What she has done for me is be there in a way I can never describe. I had cancer, and she was by my side in bed all the time. When I had surgery, she did not leave my side.

Heidi is the dog people dream of having. She never once had an accident in the house. She has trained us well and knows how to get bacon, walks, and all the snuggles. We are fortunate that a volunteer told me, 'I think I may have a dog for you.'"

Thank you so much to Heidi's family for choosing to , and for sharing your story of this amazing doggie 💕

If you'd like to be featured for a future , send us a message with your pet's story and photos! We love hearing about about all our 's 🐾

One of our resident ✨House Elves ✨is up for adoption!!

Sweet Pearla has the cutest face and happy wag about her. She likes to meet new people and is super excited when there are treats involved 😅 She does know sit but needs a refresher course so as not bypass it for her rewards. Due to her excitement when seeing a few cats at the shelter, we feel that perhaps a home without kitties might be best. She is happy to get out of her kennel and is looking for a furever human pal to take her in and give her the best life that she deserves.

If you're interested in adopting Pearla, apply at https://friendsofcbas.org/adopt

It's only one week until a favorite Buffalo holiday:
🇨🇮🍀St Patrick's Day🍀🇨🇮

In honor of this holiday, we wanted to share some of our Irish boys available for adoption at the shelter: meet Paddy, Sullivan, Flynn, Lucky and Chance (who became an honorary Irishman when his foster mom forced him to don a leprechaun hat 😂)

While we can't *guarantee* these lads have any Irish in their DNA, we can confirm they're all very cute and very adoptable 🥰

Is your lap feeling cold lately? 🥶Are you looking for an excuse to cancel plans and stay home? 🛋️ Please meet stage 5 clinger, Azora.

This little lady has been in a foster home since January and has impressed us all with her progress. She's crate trained, potty trained, has overcome some separation anxiety issues and is now ready for her forever home!

She's on the smaller side at 40 pounds, but has made herself right at home with her much larger foster siblings! She's done well at events and is overall just a super friendly and sweet gal.

Introducing Chief 😍😍

This handsome hunnie is Julian 😻

Julian is a young guy at about one year old, and is a bit uncomfortable in the shelter environment. He is inquisitive and ready to explore, but still a little awkward with humans. He has done well interacting with other cats at the shelter, and we think he would blossom in a home with a loving family 💕

If you're interesting in meeting Julian, stop by the shelter during our regular business hours (9-3 during the week, until 6:30PM on Wednesdays, and 9:30-2:30 on Saturdays) 😁

Let’s give a warm Buffalo welcome to our resident red-headed leprechaun, Lucky 🍀🍀🍀

This handsome guy is patiently waiting for his lucky day to find a furever home ☺️ Lucky knows sit and appears to be housebroken (but will have to adjust to a new schedule/routine in his new home 🏡)

Lucky can be a bit jumpy and mouthy at times but let’s face it, shelter dogs are so excited to get out of their kennels they sometimes forget manners, and just need some consistency and guidance to get it right!

Lucky has had some yard time with a doggie shelter pal having fun, but we always require a meet and greet with any resident dog. He appears to like toys so that is a great way for him to have fun and even help with training!

If you are also looking to add a little luck into your life this , perhaps you should stop down and meet this loveable guy 🍀🍀

Bear and Daisy- both City of Buffalo Animal Shelter Alums. We adopted Bear in 2018 as our first dog and year into our relationship. He's been through all the phases with us from apartment to apartment to now living in a house with a big yard to run around in! He loves to go on walks and insists on sleeping under the covers.

Daisy was adopted in 2021 by her mom while her dad was on deployment. She was so excited to greet him home! She is our little deaf dog that listens to us by our hands. She is the most cuddly dog you have ever met and insists on being as close to you as possible at all times.

Bear and Daisy are now certainly a bonded pair. They love to play and snuggle and they make our life so much fuller. They are excited to greet a new family member coming in May 2023!"

Thank you to Bear and Daisy's family for their service to our country 🇺🇸, and congrats on your growing family 🥰

Happy and

In honor of these special events, meet Murray 🙌

Murray is a friendly, sweet 2 year old brindle boy that came to the shelter in June 2022 with a fractured pelvis. He moved into a foster home in September where he has been entertaining his family with his comical personality 😅 But, despite his happy demeanor, it was clear to his foster family that he was in pain and wasn’t bearing weight on his hind leg. After months of medication and consultations with vets, it was decided that amputation would give Murray the best chance for improved quality of life. Murray is now a proud tri-pawd!

Murray LOVES people and has been friendly with everyone he has met, and has been wonderful with dogs of all ages, sizes and genders. However, it is recommended he go to a home without cats or small children.

Due to his past injury, Murray has some special needs, but these can be managed by the right family. Ideally, Murray’s family would have someone home with him most of the time.

If you would like more information about Murray, contact his foster mom at [email protected] and read more about him on his Petfinder page: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/murray-56428936/ny/buffalo/city-of-buffalo-animal-shelter-ny341/

Meet our resident Cookie Monster, Sq**rt 🍪 he wants ALL the cookies!

Sq**rt is a wiggle butt and has some energy to spare (by that we mean he could use some time to work on his leash manners once he is in his forever home and he’s sponsored with training to get you started!😄) He is a little thing, though, so he should be easy enough to handle in the interim. His preference for ALL of the cookies does help, because once he knows you have them he is very attentive. He has great markings and sweet eyes that will surely captivate you 😍

Sq**rt did well with other dogs in a play groups but a meet and greet is always needed with a resident dog to make sure it will be a good fit.

If you're interested in adopting Sq**rt, apply at friendsofcbas.org/adopt 🙌

Say good morning to Nelly 👋 This sweet gal has the cutest little powerhouse physique with a wiggle in her step and soulful eyes that will capture your heart 😍 She had a nice bath recently and loved it 🛁

Nelly behaved nicely at an event around other animals and was a perfect lady on the car ride! She loves some yard time to prance around and also enjoys chasing after a rope toy. Nelly knows how to sit and doesn’t mind getting some yummy treats as a reward. There is no doubt she will enjoy a comfy dog bed, a warm lap and a place to call her own along with some good ole training to make her the best dog on the block. Come on down and meet little miss Nelly and she could be your next best friend! The shelter is open until 6:30PM this evening 🙌

Rub a dub dub, a bunch of pooches in the tub 🛀 🐶💕

A big thank you to several of our dedicated volunteers, who over the weekend organized a “bath-apolooza” for our shelter doggies! With the messy weather we’ve had in Buffalo lately, some of our babies were desperately in need of a good scrub down, and these volunteers stepped up to the plate to make it happen. Overall, 12 pooches got baths!

If you’re interested in joining our volunteer team, (and we’re always in need of more help!), please email [email protected] and request a spot at an upcoming orientation. Volunteers are asked to make a one-year commitment to the Shelter 🐶😸

1/17/22 UPDATE - We’ve been told Ford has been adopted!!! 😊💜🎉

URGENT FOSTER NEEDED ASAP- This gorgeous boy is Ford; a long time resident at the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter. We need a foster so we can help him!

Ford is a 3 yr old, 60lb, sweet boy, who…
🔹loves people
🔹loves to play with other dogs
🔹is a snuggle bug who thinks he’s a lap dog
🔹is a good walker on leash
🔹is very smart & eager to please
🔹takes treats gently
🔸NO CATS for Ford
🔸is starting to struggle from being in the shelter for so long

Why has this sweetheart been at the shelter so long? Studies suggest people unintentionally overlook black dogs in shelters because lighter colored dogs tend to “stand out” more. That’s not fair!

Ford desperately needs & deserves to be in a loving home so his sweet nature can blossom. PLEASE help us help Ford!

Cleo is settling in great. She was terrified of the stairs but luring her with little pieces of hot dogs got her comfortable with them in no time. However I now have to sleep in .01% of my bed because her and her big sister stormy want to be as close to me as possible lol.
Thank you to everyone who purchased apparel and/or donated money for the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter fundraiser. Just over $300 was raised and it will be sent directly from the website to the organization in a few days. 🦬🖤

💕Vivian💕
This beautiful girl has been waiting for a very long time for a family to call her own. She is around 3 years old and would prefer to be the only dog in the house. If you’re thinking of adopting, please consider Vivian. She is available for adoption at the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter.
Consider adopting! So many sweet pups in need of a home at City of Buffalo Animal Shelter❤️🥹🙏🏼
Stopped by City of Buffalo Animal Shelter again today. Look at this sad face. Humans have failed these dogs. I look at dogs as angels on earth here to teach us all about loyalty, kindness and compassion. But who is showing that same loyalty to them? 🥺

Please consider adopting. There are so many wonderful dogs and you can bring your own dog to the shelter to have a meet and greet! ❤️

I would also like to add that the volunteers at CBAS are amazing and happy to answer any questions about the dogs!
