BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo Animal Shelter does a wonderful job of helping animals that have nowhere else to go. However, sometimes other organizations step in to help out.

That's the case this week with Teressa. This Staffordshire Terrier is being taken care of by the "Black Dog Second Chance" organization. This organization takes dogs off the hands of the shelter and places them into foster homes while they await adoption.

Teressa is 2 years old and has a zest for life! She loves being with people and is great with kids. She enjoys playing with other dogs and will always be there for you.

If you are interested in adopting Teressa, you can send an email to her foster mom here.

2 Your Pet airs every week on Daybreak Saturday.

Visitors to nearby London, Ontario, will have two interesting events to check out over the weekend of Aug. 18-19, when Pawlooza and the Fanshawe Agricultural Fair create a fun festival atmosphere.

Pawlooza, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 18, is the quirkiest, whackiest and most ridiculously fun festival anywhere. Held on International Homeless Animals’ Day, it's a festival for dogs — 6,000 of them, in fact. And joining them will be approximately 25,000 animal lovers, 150 animal-related vendors, and 55 animal rescue and welfare groups from across Canada. It's the most dog-friendly event that you'll ever attend! 

The new Board of Directors of the Niagara County SPCA has finally spoken.  It was announced earlier this week that Amy Lewis, who has been serving as interim Director, has entered into a 1-year contract.

Although we have made some progress toward our ultimate goal of achieving a No Kill Niagara SPCA, in many ways we are right back to square one.  Despite the public urging the Board of Directors to pursue an open application process in order to attract and identify the very best candidates for Executive Director, the Board decided to completely ignore these requests, to circumvent a proper candidate search and to settle for the interim director who had been put in place by the former, discredited Board of Directors and their handler, criminal defense attorney, Paul Cambria.
