Picture
BAM BAM
Bam Bam is loves attention and always wants to know what’s going on. He also feels it’s his job to keep an eye on the dog.
Picture
BANDIT
Bandit does not like hoomans. But the second it's bedtime or you have eggs, bacon, or snack, she's ready for all of your attention. Be sure not to touch her, hooman, or she'll run away.
Picture
BOSTON
Boston is adopted with lots of medical issues but she's living her best life and enjoying snacks daily, she loves belly rubs, cuddle time, and full conversations.
Picture
BOWSER
Bowser, is an 11 month old bearded dragon, who enjoys staring out the window all day while munching on crickets and super-worms.
Picture
BREWSTER
​Brewster is an extra special rescue who helped heal our broken hearts after we lost both of our dogs to cancer in the spring of 2021. He came from a traumatic background, so this truly is a case of who rescued who. We love Brewster beyond measure!
Picture
BUD
​He loves to dress up with my nieces and play with his potato.
Picture
DRAGON
I rescued Dragon about 5 years ago from the SPCA, he's been my special little guy ever since. He's the kindest sweetest cat I've ever seen, and loves being carried and cuddled like a little baby. If he hasn't been pet enough, which to him is always, he'll tap you with his paw and pet his own head to show you he wants more. He's my best friend.
Picture
CHANSEY
Chansey is an axolotl, endangered in the wild, but silly and cute to have as a pet! Axolotls can live for up to 20 years and are exceptional at regeneration. If an axolotl is harmed it can grow back limbs, internal organs, and even its brain!
​
Picture
CHUCKY
Chucky is almost a year old. He loves his blue fluffy bed. We adopted him from the Humane Society of Schuyler County. 

Picture
DOUG
​Doug’s formal name is: General Douglas MacArthur the third, however, he’s not really a “formal” guy. He’s a cool guy who just wants to be everyone’s best friend, even if that means knocking you off your feet to show you how much he likes you.
​
Picture
ELVIS
​We lost our beloved Elvis in March of 2021, following a courageous 13-month battle with bladder/prostate cancer. Elvis was as beautiful inside, as he was outside & his smile could light up a room!
Picture
FIONA
​Fionna can literally herd cats! She has been the best hiking partner bar none. She is 15 years old, but a super senior who still garners the respect of all her four-legged housemates (a little controlling- but in the best way ;) Her mesmerizing BC eyes, confident intuitive way, focus on monitoring all the woodchuck holes on her daily walks, love of rolling in snow/making dog angels, and love of her family are just a few of the things that make her so special!
​
Picture
LIBERTY
If you’ve ever been on a conference call at FSS and thought you heard a cow mooing in the background, you are not alone! Libberty Bibberty has been mistaken for a baby cow mooing, on more than one occasion.
Picture
LITTLE LADY
She loves to hop around and be Daddy's princess. She a little baby doll with spice🔥.
Picture
LYLA
​Lyla is a 12 year old small black lab mix and is often referred to as "the forever puppy". She loves swimming, napping, and insists on sleeping in the same room as her 7 year old (human) brother each night <3

Picture
MATTEO
Matteo's resilience, endearing ears, quick mind, lack of spatial awareness, exceptional listening skills (with mom), way of demand barking & losing his mind when dad puts on his shoes, beyond enthusiastic behaviors around food, love for the game hide-and-seek, and exceptionally loyal heart, make for one special four-legged friend. Matteo was rescued by his friends at Finger Lakes SPCA as a fearful stray who spent several harrowing weeks living along I-86 -seemingly waiting for someone.
Picture
MILLIE
Millie’s happiest place on earth? Floating like a diva on not one, but two designated pool floats—she basically lives in the water and takes her pool time very seriously.
Picture
MADDIE
​Maddie loves lounging in the sunshine but draws the line at getting wet. She's a very good girl with very firm boundaries.
Picture
MORRIS
​Morris likes to sit in the bathroom sink. We don't know why. He is obsessed with my husband and calls for him when he's not home.
Picture
MARBLE
Marble is the Activities Director. He runs the show and lets us know when it's snack time or if the toys are all missing under the dresser. He has more energy than any cat should, still tries to fit into tight spaces to get toys, and his specialty is hanging awkwardly from the newel post.
​
Picture
MULLIGAN
Adorable Mulligan was adopted from the Finger Lakes SPCA as a little guy. His Grinch like feet, unusual sleeping positions, penchant for stealing food, stealth at moving under blankets (the blanket monster), quirky playful ways that make us laugh a lot, are just some of the things that make him such a special feline family member.
Picture
NOVA
​Nova is super smart! When Ryder is laying next to mom or dad, Nova will look out the window and bark at nothing. This makes Ryder get up to look out the window and then Nova will quickly take Ryders spot.
Picture
ONYX
​Onyx is full of energy and loves everyone.​
Picture
PEBBLES
​Pebbles loves to snuggle with dad but tends to be more serious most of the time.
Picture
PORT
Port is a blue and tan miniature dachshund. She will sit like a meerkat when she wants something.
Picture
ROCKY
Rocky is a puggle sharpei and he thinks he is part cat sometimes. He also looks like a puppy but is really actually 12 years old! He is very particular about his affection but quite the love when he wants to be.
Picture
RYDER
Ryder has a rock collection! He digs them up everyday and carries them around so he can scatter them across the lawn! :)
Picture
SAWYER
​Sawyer is a fun loving pup who loves people almost as much as he loves his pup shoes! He loves to explore, and will do so at any cost!
Picture
STANLEY
Stanley is our energetic and lovable rescue labradoodle. His whole body wags and he hops as he runs.
Picture
THISTLE
​Thistle is a hedgehog who loves to run, just like sonic!
Picture
WILLOW
​Willow is our big softie and she loves to pretend that she is a lap dog! She is very sweet, but occasionally has a wild side that Winnie brings out of her. Willow is a big cuddler and sometimes will not take no for an answer!

Picture
THOR
​Thor is 10 years old and has been a grumpy old man his entire life.
Picture
WINNIE
​Winnie is a feisty little furball. She loves to talk back and steal stuffed animals. She is always sneaking into the girls' room to take her prey and loves to flaunt it in front of everyone like it's her prize. She also loves to dare us to try to take it from her and it is very cute when she plays these games.
Picture
ZIGGY
Ziggy is a rescue that has enough energy to fuel a small army! If he isn’t stealing jewelry to hide under the sofa, he’s chirping at birds in the window.
