Founded in 1998 and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) no-kill rescue organization in 1999, Duffy's Friends is dedicated to saving homeless and abandoned animals, primarily from overcrowded high-kill shelters. Operating through private foster homes in Western and Central New York, the organization provides medical care, socialization, and thoughtful placement into permanent loving homes.
Duffys Friends Inc serves Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse areas (New York).
Past pet ownership history with positive veterinary reference, homeownership (no rental situations or students), no children under 12 years old, traditional physical fencing (wood, vinyl, chain link; no electric fences/tie-outs for dogs), and mandatory spay/neuter by 6 months for young pets.
Interested adopters submit an application, which is reviewed alongside other applicants to find the best match. The process includes a veterinary reference check, potential home visit, and an opportunity to meet the animal at a foster home or public showing event.
Adoptions through Duffy's Friends are restricted to the Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse areas in New York.
Applicants must have a positive vet reference from previous or current pet ownership, live in a non-rental situation, have no children under 12 years of age, and have a traditionally fenced yard (wood, vinyl, or chain link) if adopting a dog.
Pets are cared for in foster homes and showcased during weekend adoption events at locations such as Country Max in Spencerport and PetSaver in Greece, or via scheduled meet-and-greets for approved applicants.
