Adoption Details: Bubba is up for adoption at the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, open Monday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Society is quickly approaching overcapacity.

Simba deserves another chance to love and be loved.

Leo would like to have a female kitty friend or a calm male kitty friend. It is unclear how he would enjoy being with dogs as he has never met one.

Name: Klaus
Gender & Breed: Male Pitbull mix
Age: 6 years old
Organization: Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, Menands
About: Klaus is a bundle of love who only chews bones, is house trained and will greet you at the door with a full body wag from head to tail. He loves nothing more than a belly rub, to lean against you while you scratch my neck or to look out the window and watch the world go by.
Klaus gets overly excited when he sees other dogs, so he should be in a home that does not have other pets. He is also part of the Hidden Gems program, meaning he has been at the shelter for over 100 days.
Adoption Details: Klaus is up for adoption at the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, open Monday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Society is quickly approaching overcapacity. As a result, adoption fees have been reduced to $100 for all animals younger than six months and $50 for all animals 6 months and older. More information can be found on the shelter’s website at mohawkhumane.org.

Age: 4 years old

About: Violet is the best girl. She is often found playing with her stuffed box or bobbing for tennis balls in the pool. She has a fun personality and is social but also has her moments where she is very independent and will do her own thing, coming back every once in a while to check in with you.
Violet loves all her friends at APF but will need to go to an only-pet home.
Adoption Details: Violet is up for adoption at the Animal Protective Foundation in Schenectady, open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 4:30 p.m. Adoption fees, process requirements and more can be found on the APF website at animalprotective.org.

Name: Maddie
Gender & Breed: Female Beagle
Age: 9 months old
Organization: Homes For Orphaned Pets Exist, Saratoga Springs
About: Maddie is a super sweet puppy. Being that she is a beagle, she does have a strong beagle bark. Maddie can be nervous with new people at first, but if she has canine role models to show her that people are okay, she will be fine. She is a sweetheart once she is comfortable. She is a very curious girl and will try to get into things if given the opportunity.
Maddie does enjoy the company of her people so she would do best in a home where she is not left alone for extended periods of time. She will also need a fenced-in yard since she is so curious.
Adoption Details: Maddie is up for adoption at Homes for Orphaned Pets Exist in Saratoga Springs. Adoption fees, applications and arrangements to meet her can be found on the organization’s website at hopeanimalrescue.org.
