Story
Peggy is a 9 year old basset hound mix. She has a great personality and loves humans. She is a little iffy with other dogs especially dogs bigger than her. She is missing a hind leg but that does nothing to hinder her. Although she is about to turn 9 she has puppy energy and loves to play and run around. She is house trained and is extremely food motivated. She has had no health issues thus far. She is spayed and microchipped. I think she would do well in a home with mostly adults, she has not had experiences with babies or cats.

Story
MEET CHANCE!Chance is a goofy pup who originally came to us from the south! Since then, he`s grown a ton in size. While he is as big as a horse, he doesn`t quite realize it and thinks he`s still a litle puppy, so he will need some very very strong owners to keep up with him! He is hoping to find a home that can help him with his training as well so he doesn`t knock over potential new friends on the street or at the dog park. Could you be the right fit?Chance is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.For more information on Chance or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.

Sky was found heavily pregnant living on the streets of Texas. Animal control took her to a local kill shelter. The shelter spayed her and left her without her babies :( this poor dog is so depressed and scared of new things. Can you help her trust the world again? She will need an experienced adopter. She is very submissive and prefers to stay in her crate due to fear . With time and patience she will blossom into a dog that trusts again. Aplaceforace.org for application
