Story
I'm 1 year-old! I am very energetic and my mom says I'm super smart. I was rescued from a very bad shelter in Alabama with my other five brothers and sisters, by another good rescue in New York. My current mom brought me to Massachusetts when I was 12 weeks old. My mom now needs surgery and just can't take care of me. She says I need a big yard, not an apartment. And maybe some other doggie brothers or sisters. People and dogs are my favorite things...well, my bones and my stuffed baby, too. I have had all my shots, heart worm, tick and flea and am neutered. I am a good listener and know a lot of good stuff. I walk really well on my leash, too. I know there is a loving, kind family out there somewhere who would love me. Because, I'm very loveable, so my mom says. HOUSE TRAINING: Tenshi is MOSTLY house trained. However since my heath issues, I have been unable to take him down the three flights of stairs more than 4x a day. But then he uses a puppy pad.

Story
Hammond aka Archie is a 2.5 year catahoula leopard mix with lots of puppy energy left in him. He absolutely loves walks and running zoomies around a fenced in backyard. He loves to play fetch with a ball outside or tug of war with his toys inside. He will bring toys to you to let you know he wants some attention. He loves other dogs. Is always happiest at the dog park. With cats, he isn’t great. He has a bit of a chase drive with them. He is completely house trained and crate trained (loves his crate actually). He still needs some more work with other house etiquette (likes his bed but prefers the couch). Hammond aka Archie is such a good boy. A fun dog who loves kids, loves his people. He is up for a car ride adventure, a hike in the woods, some peanut butter on a spoon and a cuddle on the couch. He is located in Framingham, MA and he is looking for a foster home, or even better would be a forever home.

Story
Ellen is a lovable, goofy 12 month old Hound mix. She is a riot to watch because she’s still trying to figure out how to use her legs without being so clumsy. Everything is new to her so she is very curious when she encounters unfamiliar sounds and people, but she’s definitely intrigued. **She does have a lot of energy once she feels comfortable and a fenced yard where she can run around would be best. She will definitely need patience and a family that is energetic and active. If you work from home, even better** She loves other dogs, big and small, and may be ok with a dog savvy cat that’s used to putting a dog I. Their place. Her favorite thing so far is going to the dog toy bin and taking out each and every toy to test. She loves running around and playing with her foster sister in the back yard. She is really giving our Catahoula a run for her money. After playing outside, she is ready to come in and take over the couch or bed. She also likes to go for car rides and sits nicely to look out the window, although she is still learning how to jump in and out of the car. She would do great in a house with or without another dog. She would be great for a family that enjoys the outdoors and wants a pup to hang out with on adventures. She is just learning to walk on a leash and is currently being crate and house-trained so patience and consistency will serve her well. She is so deserving of the best home. Please consider adopting Ellen and submit an application today. She is available in MA for a meet & greet.

Story
We recently adopted Bruno to accompany our 4 year old male golden retriever. Our human family is also growing and feel guilty that we can't give both our Goldens the love and attention they deserve. Bruno came to us with some great training - sit, stay, lay down, come, go outside, go for a ride, and more. He is your typical golden retriever- loves people, dogs, snuggles, car rides, walks, and belly rubs. Please let us know why you think you'd be a good fit!
