Leo came from the SPCA. I got him at 8 months old. He was a very social dog, but totally out of control and had no manners. I had to make a special application and talk to the Director of Training to adopt him and although we had a difficult first year, he is my best friend and a perfect companion.

Penny Lane was adopted from the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter. She was 7 when I adopted her about 2 years ago. I heard that she was on the "down list" for the next day as they didn't think she was adoptable at her age. (I put an application in when she was still on stray hold) She was one scared and neurotic dog, but time, patience and lots of treats has turned her into a wonderful companion.
