Ayres Memorial Animal Shelter

This poor guy was found hunkering down on someone's porch on Veeder Rd in Fonda NY until he could make his way to us.

He's obviously not had a great go of things, but if anyone might know who he belongs to - please contact the shelter here or at 518-673-5670.

Friends!

We are in need of some items for the dogs and cats calling Ayres home!

From essentials and fun stuff like yummy treats for the dogs, canned food and churos for the cats, to the not fun stuff like cat litter and everything in between it seems!

Our greatest needs right now are laundry soap and clumping cat litter, and both cat and dog canned food - we aren't stuck on any certain brands - anything gets the job done! The only thing we are particular on is kinds of kibble we give - so kitties do best with Purina Complete Cat Chow and thanks to lots of amazing people - or main dog population is stacked with the food the majority uses to keep their bellies full. ♥

Meet Luca 🐾

Around 2 years old, Luca is a pittie mix with a goofy personality, a heart full of love, and a smile that could most definitely cure bad days.

Luca loves people, enjoys hanging out with other dogs, has lived with cats, and does well with kids too. While he can occasionally be a little shy when first meeting someone new, it doesn’t take long before his silly, lovable side comes bursting out.

He’s the kind of dog who’s happiest just being included in life — whether that means car rides, outdoor adventures, lazy afternoons, or simply following his favorite people around with that big happy grin on his face.

Honestly, Luca is just a go-with-the-flow kinda guy. A sweet, goofy ding d**g who wants to love everyone and enjoy every moment along the way. 💛

🐾 Luca’s Facts
