STOP SCROLLING. THE BIG GOOFY BOY OF YOUR DREAMS HAS ARRIVED. Meet COOPER Cooper is 66 pounds of young, happy, lovable energy wrapped up in one very handsome package. He’s only 9 months old, so he’s still got that big puppy personality… except somebody accidentally gave the puppy REALLY long legs. This Mountain Cur mix is active, incredibly smart, loving and ready to be somebody’s best buddy. He’s the kind of dog who would love a family that wants a sidekick for walks, adventures, playtime and whatever else the day brings. And Cooper isn’t just a pretty face. This smart boy already knows all his basics AND is housebroken! He’s been putting in the work and now he’s just missing the most important piece… his family. If your house could use a little more laughter, a lot more love and approximately 66 pounds of goofy best-friend energy, Cooper would like to submit his application. 9 months old Mountain Cur mix 66 lbs Housebroken Knows his basics Smart + loving Active, young & FUN Professional big goofy boy Looking for his forever family Cooper is ready.

Story

Meet Cooper! 🍂🐾 Cooper is a sweet, sensitive boy who is ready to fall in love with his forever family! He can be a little nervous when first experiencing new people and places, but once he feels comfortable, his playful and affectionate personality begins to shine. One of Cooper’s favorite things? Other dogs! Having a canine friend around really helps him feel brave, and he loves spending time with his four-legged buddies. He’s also very food motivated, so treats are a great way to win his heart and help him build confidence. Cooper is an active guy who enjoys being with his people and is already house trained, crate trained, and knows some basic commands. He can be sensitive to loud noises, so he’ll appreciate a family who will give him a little patience and reassurance as he settles in. Cooper is still new to Baypath, and we’re learning more about him every day. He may also have hip dysplasia, but that doesn't slow him down! With a little time, plenty of treats, and ideally a friendly canine pal to show him the ropes, we think Cooper will blossom into a wonderful companion. If cozy evenings, crisp fall walks, and a very sweet pup by your side sound like your kind of season, come meet Cooper! 🍁

Story

Meet Bane! 🍂🐾 Bane is ready to fall in love with his forever family! This adorable, happy-go-lucky guy has the cutest underbite, a tail that never seems to stop wagging, and his signature full-body wiggles whenever he sees someone he loves—which is pretty much everyone! Sweet, friendly, and always ready for fun, Bane loves people and other dogs. He’s an active boy who would love an adventure buddy to enjoy all the best parts of a New England fall—crunchy-leaf walks, weekend hikes, trips around town, and plenty of cozy time together afterward. Bane approaches life with a whole lot of enthusiasm and an even bigger heart. He’s the kind of dog who makes every day a little more fun just by being his happy, wiggly self. If your fall plans are missing four paws, a ridiculously cute underbite, and a constantly wagging tail, Bane might just be the perfect addition. Come meet him and get ready to fall head over heels! 🍁

She’s food motivated, eager to make friends, and loves spending time with other dogs. Tabitha is still new to us, so we’re learning more about her every day.

Story

Maggie is a sweet and gentle five year old German Shepherd dog whose owner died in the snow storm of 2026. We have been fostering her over the summer, but we need a new loving home for her. Due to physical limitations , we can no longer care for her. She is protective and loving and loves to play fetch! Right now she plays off leash in big yard. Follows basic commands and is housebroken. Shes's pretty mellow for a gsd, but is protective and barks to alert if any strangers or mailman is approaching- which we love.Serious inquiries only.
