I adopted Suka from Big Dogs Big Hearts last August. He is now 3 to 3 1/2 years old. We don't know for certain what breed he is, but think he may be Shepherd/Husky or Malamute mix; Eurasier or Keeshond. He is an awesome dog! Not a barker, but a fantastic watch dog. He sits so beautifully for a snack and loves to play with his toys. We kept his name when we adopted him. It has some varied, interesting meanings, depending on the nationality. Google it for fun! He loves to splash around in the doggie/toddler pool! He loves to give kisses and follows me around the house like he's Velcro! Very loyal. He always looks like he is smiling and just a very happy boy!

Zoey is a 4-year-old Pomeranian/Chihuahua who is also known as "The Diva". She is a feisty, spirited girl who makes me laugh every day. She is also a Canine Good Citizen and certified therapy dog through Therapy Dog International. She brings joy and lots of kisses to the residents of an assisted living home that we visit. Her favorite toy is a pink bunny, and her favorite treats are Zukes; she gives "paw" for them.

Deuce is approximately 4 years old. We adopted him from a friend, who adopted him from the SPCA but couldn't keep him. We’re not sure of his breed, but he is definitely a poodle mix. His favorite toy is his Squeaky Skunkie. He loves cuddling with Mom in the morning, hanging with Dad in his fav chair during the day and waiting for Mom to come home from his perch on the front porch. He is happy to go anywhere with us, from concerts at Bidwell to the beach and any dog-friendly patio. He is our happy little companion, and we’re lucky to have him!

Sully is a 1-year-old Goldendoodle. I never wanted a dog due to allergies, but his fur does not make me sneeze at all. If my allergies did start acting up though, I would not even think of giving him away. He is part of the family now, and we love him so much! He is my shadow. He goes with me to nursing homes to visit. He is very laid back and easygoing and even allows my daughter to lay on him like a pillow, put dresses on him and just snuggle for hours!

Roxy is a 14-year-old German Shepherd, and she is playing momma to a 6-week-old German Shepherd pup that was abandoned and we adopted. The pup was getting smart with her, and momma went to put the pup in her place, and then the puppy saw momma coming back to her, and she quickly sat back and gave momma a kiss to forgo a scolding.

DJ turned 11 years old in April 2013. I adopted him from the SPCA in Tonawanda when he was 6 months old. His DNA breed analysis identified he is Collie, Shetland Sheepdog, St. Bernard and Italian Greyhound. DJ is known for hopping over fences. He loves to sunbathe. Since my sister and I didn't have a dog when we were kids, he was named after our first name initials.

I adopted Flash from the SPCA on Labor Day weekend 2010. He came from a home where he was beaten and neglected. We took him in and trained him to love, trust and enjoy the good things in life. I have never met a dog with a better personality, and he loves everyone, even though people did not always love him. He loves hanging out at the beach on these dog days of summer.
