A firefighter in Buffalo, New York, ended up adopting a puppy after the injured animal was dropped off at his local fire station and needed a new home.

A puppy rescued by firefighters in Buffalo, New York, has a forever home thanks to one of the men who saved her from the streets. 'I may have adopted her, but my whole crew helped save her,' Anthony Pulvino, 30, of the Buffalo Fire Department, told Fox News Digital. Pulvino said two teenagers showed up last month at the firehouse doors of Engine Co. 19 with a puppy in their arms — and said they were looking for help.

left my phone number and said if nobody claims her, I’d love to take her,' Pulvino said. 'I had told the guys, ‘I really want a puppy.’ And they said, ‘Yeah, you could bring her to the house any time.' A week later, Pulvino’s wish came true when he got a call from the vet, asking if he’d like to adopt the pup. 'She just kind of fell right into my hands,' he said.

When Pulvino picked her up, the dog was missing a leg. 'She fractured her back right leg and had brush burn from the road,' Pulvino said. 'So, they did have to take one of her legs.'

'You would not even know she has three legs.

She's great with kids. Great with other dogs. I have cats, too, and she’s even good with them, but they don't really like her.' Pulvino said he’s glad he was at the right place at the right time. 'The fire department's there to help people, and we love it,' he said. 'If an animal is hurt, people should call animal control. But if they don’t have anywhere else to go at that moment, we'll help them figure it out from there.
