Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Nitro! He is a big, beautiful black shepherd mix adult dog estimated at under 5 years old. His head is about hip high and he weighs in at 84 lbs. presently but he is incredibly easy to walk on leash without pulling. Being an adult, he is out of the puppy stage so no worries about house training or chewing. He loves human attention, cuddles and seeks to please, very good at "sit", takes treats very gently, loves to play with balls and toys and is dog friendly and learning quickly how to interact with cats! He is presently in Texas in temporary foster and coming to New England December 16th, just in time for the snowy, cozy Holidays up north! If you are interested in learning more about him, adopting or even just helping out as a temporary foster for him until he finds his forever home in New England, please reach out as soon as possible to Village for Paws Rescue at villageforpawsrescue@gmail.com for more information and/or to fill out an application.
