Support New York State Bill to Ban Cat Declawing
New York state Assemblywoman Linda B. Rosenthal has introduced a bill, A.595
(formerly A.1297), that would make New York the first state in the
nation to ban cat declawing. Soon afterwards, New York state Senator
Joseph A. Griffo (R-Oneida County) introduced the companion bill
(S.3376) in the Senate, giving it a majority-party sponsor in the
GOP-controlled NY state Senate. The declawing bill would ban the
amputation procedure unless it is done to treat a medical condition
affecting the cat. The Paw Project is grateful to Assemblywoman
Rosenthal and Senator Griffo. We are proud to have introduced the declaw
issue to
|
Assemblywoman Rosenthal and to have helped in organizing support for the
bill. We are fortunate to have the help and support of the Humane
Society of the United States (HSUS), the Humane Society Veterinary
Medical Association (HSVMA), and Ethical Veterinary to pass the bill. We
will update this page when the bill is introduced in the coming
legislative session

Meet Holly:
She was picked up as a 6-7 month old puppy the week before Hurricane
Sandy in Long Island. Mayor's Alliance was asked to take her into their
rescue because everyone in the shelter would be euthanize because of
the pending hurricane and they would need space for dogs that were
displaced. She arrived in Rochester that year to be trained by Animal
Behavior Specialists because she was shy. She had a hard
time getting adopted because of her breed and color. She has been
waiting for a home for over 7 years. She is a nice dog, sweet and likes
other dogs. She is shy but warms up after two days. Duffy's

Hey! You woke me from my nap!" This is Butterscotch.
He's a very friendly and talkative kitten, about 6 months old, and he
is really hoping to find his forever home very soon. Butter would be a
perfect companion for someone who fancies the art of conversation and
has a warm lap. This guy is all about love!
Hes definitely not your typical kitten. He isn't destructive or wild,
just very chatty and quite mellow. If you'd like to meet
Butterscotch, please submit an application at
rescued-treasures.com/cat-application and we can schedule a meet and
greet! :)

Meet
the lovely Athena, a Southern belle. Everyone she meets is a new friend
(kisses and a full body wag, anyone?). Athena enjoys playing with other
dogs, being brushed and going for car rides, although sometimes she
wants to be in the driver's seat! This pretty girl has a fondness for
marrow bones, chews and chips, and wishes that her furever family will
keep a lifetime supply! She is the sweetest dog in the whole wide world,
who just loves attention. She thinks she's a lap dog and will choose
"her special person." Like most Pyrs, Athena is determined to do things
her way, so she may need a little bit of coaxing if you're trying to get
her to go somewhere – simply put a leash on her and she’ll get up and
follow you wherever, especially if you’re going outside Read More.....

Parsley
was found as a stray on the streets of Rochester, NY. He would come to
one of the feeding stations on Janine's route daily. Every morning he
would run to her jeep to greet her. She promised him that one day she
would rescue him and find him a loving home. That day came about 2 years
ago. He went to live with an elderly gentleman who was looking for a
companion for another kitty that he adopted from Janine. Fast
forward to earlier this year and the elderly gentleman fell on hard
times and needed to surrender Parlsey and his companion Hermie. When
Janine went to pick him up his fur was all matted and some of his nails
had grown into the pads on his feet. Janine immediately remedied the
situation and took him to the vet for a complete physical and to have
his nails cut and groomed. He is a big guy and really needs someone who
will motivate him to move around and monitor his food intake. He
is now in foster care and looking for a forever home again. He is a
sweet boy estimated to be about 4 years old. He is a bit shy at first
but warms up quickly. He just needs some loving and to feel safe again.
He does NOT have to be adopted with his companion Hermie. |

This sweet, lovable girl is Allie! Allie
weighs 55 pounds and is about a year and a half old. She is still
a youngster, but is learning fast and working hard to please. She
has learned basic obedience commands and is crate and house
trained. Allie is reactive with other dogs and a strong puller
when leash walked, and we are working hard with her to get her
socialized and develop good walking manners. Continued education
will help Allie to be all she can be as she matures. Her favorite
things are running, playing with toys and snuggle up with her people on
the couch. Nuts

Allie has been waiting a long time.

Gandy
is a 3 year old pure Boxer. He was abused in his previous home and can
be very anxious around people he doesn't know. Once he gains your trust
he is happiest sitting with his head on your lap, cuddling in bed and
playing ball in the yard. He is dog selective and seems to do best with
females or small dogs. He will need a fenced in yard (no exceptions)
and an experienced adopter willing to show him patience and
love. SusieQ

castle so no other animals or small children please Brindle Posse Rescue, Inc. brindleposse@gmail.com |
Meet
Thor! That name is Danish and suits him since it means “God of Thunder’!
He is 4 ½ and if you are looking for a big, handsome, loving, smart,
well-mannered boy, look no further. Thor is a mix of part Pyrenees and
maybe Great Dane. He's 81 lbs. and should be considered as full grown.
Thor comes already trained. Yes, he"s a dream on a leash, politely sits
and waits when asked, is housebroken and doesn’t mind the crate. Next Cube More.... |
Thor plays well with other dogs but is not a fan of cats. Thor"s coat
is a bonus if you’re looking for low maintenance! He"s a pretty quiet
boy but does come to life when you throw him the ball. Like any boy he
loves to play! Don"t let this thunderous boy fool you though, he can be a
softie when he shows his affectionate side...he loves to give kisses to
show his appreciation :) One thing, he does request a tall fence to
accommodate his statuesque size. Thor would be happy to share his home
with a playmate or be an only dog, too. This big boy is more than ready
to become a part of your family!) National Great Pyrenees Rescue. Contract Suzanne Phillips,

Danika was
born about September 19, 2009 and weighs about 12 lbs. Sadly,
Danika's only life until now is sitting in a cage until it was time to
be bred to create and raise adorable puppies until it was time for them
to hit the pet store shelves. During spay surgery Danika had 2
small mammary masses removed that had thick liquid in them appearing to
be clogged milk ducts. Please carefully consider adopting a
previously used puppy mill breeder dog as the only life this dog has
known thus far is being shut into a wooden shack with no heat or cooling
and no light of day and cages stacked on top of cages Joyful Rescues 716 372-3661 joyfulrescues@hughes.net

Sweet, mellow, and laid back are a few ways to describe Rosie!
Rosie is
a gentle senior and is looking to be your best friend. She enjoys short
walks, and naps on the porch! Rosie loves to lay in her bed with a
chew toy, but her favorite thing is to take a car ride! Rosie is
being fostered with four adults and loves everyone she meets. She
has been around children and was also very good with them. She
does like to keep her people close by! She does well with most
large dogs, a meet and greet would of course be required. Rosie
does need a home without cats or small dogs, as she does like to chase
them. Rosie is fully housetrained, but accidents can happen as she
adjusts to her new home. She is a well mannered girl without any
bad habits. There is no counter surfing or chewing of shoes happening
with this girl!! Black Dog Second Chance Rescue, info@blackdogsecondchance.org

My name is Cherry, I am a 4 month old Aussie mix, female puppy. (See
Momma in cube to right). My mommy is an Aussie/border collie mix, my
daddy is most likely a boxer. I was found as a stray in Texas with my
mommy and siblings. I am a lovable and smart little girl. I love to play
fetch. I am actually doing very well with my potty training and with
crate training but in short increments as I am still a puppy. I get
along great with other dogs, and I very much enjoy play time and quite
snuggle time. I will need a family where I will be with another dog, as I
have never been without that companionship. I can have a bit of an
attitude though, and sometimes I like to be left alone, I think a family
with small children MAY NOT be the best fit for me. I do not interact
well with cats. I would love to find my furever home. I will require a
family with ample time to dedicate to my love and care. I would
prefer a home with a fenced backyard. If you would like to be considered
to be my mommy or daddy, please submit an application. Buffalo

snuggle, and is very affectionate. He walks well on a leash and takes
correction well. He just loves other dogs and is great at meeting

Adopt Evan and Elliot - two youngsters who need a home together (info in next cube)
|
Evan and Elliott
are two very cute black and white kitten brothers that have taken some
time to get used to humans. After Elliott was neutered he had a medical
issue (the vet thought it was a blood clot) and he was unable to move
and in a lot of pain. With supportive care (fluids and force feeding) he
was sitting up within a week. As he felt better, he realized that his
foster family was super nice and he began to seek out attention,
cuddling, and purred often! His brother Evan then needed to learn to
trust humans too and in time came around to enjoy spending time with his
foster family. Evan and Elliott are still a little timid at first, so
we feel it would be best if they went to a quiet home with no dogs or
very young children. As well, Evan and Elliott must be adopted together.
They are very bonded and have been through a lot in their young lives.
If you are interested in adopting a sibling pair, pick Evan and Elliott!
They will definitely continue to learn to love and trust their new
family! As our Featured Cats, Evan & Elliott's adoption fee
has been reduced to $150 (No other discounts apply).

 Brownie
is gentle and quiet. She has lived with other cats and children, though
her shyness makes us think older kids might be best. Poor Brownie lost
her home due to her family’s financial troubles, and she doesn’t
understand what happened. She will need someone willing to give her a
little time to get comfortable and blossom. This pretty girl just wants
to be loved. Adoption Network, Rochester NY 585 338-9175

Meet Nolan. This Maine Coon mix had been on his own for some time before
coming to P.A.N. He’s doing well in his foster home and we’re working
on grooming. It’s amazing to us that these rough looking guys, after a
week or two, climb into an available lap. He must have had a home at one
time, Nolan is a big guy, with an very unique voice. He’ll need a bit
of patience, but he sure likes attention! He’d probably do best as an
only pet. Adoption Network, Rochester NY 585 338-9175

Jet is very shy around people,
perhaps there is a cat whisperer who can gain the trust of
this timid boy. He runs and hides when he is scared, he
doesn't swat or bite. Jet prefers playing to being petted.
He enjoys the company of other cats.. Pet
