He is a beautiful boy with endless energy and a silly personality. Sully needs to be introduced to strangers, he is very protective of his family. He needs a home with a huge yard, or an active family, preferably someone who can teach him to hunt and to just be a Chessie.

Gordo is located in Providence , RI Gordo is an energetic two-year-old who will soon be three years old. He loves playing catch and tug-of-war, going to the dog park, and cuddling. Gordo gets scared of people wearing hats and hasn't been around children. Gordo gets very excited by new people and will bark but is easily redirected. Gardo listens to commands: sit, come, drop (in toy), bedtime, go peepee. Gordo was rescued along with his litter, his shots are all up to date. Gordo needs lots of space to run and likes lots of attention/cuddles as he is still a puppy (He will be 3 years old on May 5th). If you would like to learn more shoot us a text or call.

Hazel

Husky German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
Essex, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Hazel is a 2 year old beautiful, affectionate dog who loves her people, is smart, professionally trained, food motivated, and enjoys the outdoors. She comes when called, does her tricks, does well on+off leash, loves attention from all people, and has excellent house manners. She has been a loyal and quiet work from home companion. She would just as happily sleep in and sit under the desk of her person as go on a long hike or run. She lives with a cat who she is friendly with. Due to her early life before adoption, Hazel is protective of high value toys and food and guards against other dogs, which can be negated by removing said item. Hazel’s response to new dogs when not under leash or voice command can be unpredictable. Unfortunately, Hazel’s prey drive and inexperience with babies has led us to look into rehoming. She would do best in a home with no babies/toddlers. She would love to have outdoor access and an active owner with patience/comfort with her response to new dogs.
