Story
Meet Gizmo and Shylo, a sweet bonded pair of beagle mixes who are looking for a home where they can continue their lives together. Gizmo is a 1-year-old female, and Shylo is a 3-year-old male. These two are especially close, and Shylo can become quite stressed when he is separated from Gizmo, so they will need to be adopted as a pair.Gizmo and Shylo are happiest keeping their own company and enjoying life together. They have a history of living successfully with cats and children and absolutely love them. While they can be reactive to other dogs while in care, their home history shows that they have lived well with other dogs. They would do best with a family who understands their individual needs and can give them time to settle in and feel comfortable in their new surroundings.Both Gizmo and Shylo are housetrained and have plenty of love to give. Shylo can be vocal when left alone, but he has not shown any destructive behaviors. They do have a strong prey drive toward small animals outdoors, and Gizmo is usually the enthusiastic instigator, so they will need to be supervised around small animals and kept safely managed on walks and in the yard.When the day is done, these two are all about comfort. They love snuggling up in cozy blankets and relaxing together. If you are looking for a pair of affectionate, entertaining companions who have a special bond and will keep each other company, Gizmo and Shylo may be the perfect match for you.

Story
Meet the Spice Girls 2026 - Ginger Spice and her sisters Posh Spice & Sporty Spice! This ridiculously cute girl group was transported to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded shelter in Tennessee. Ginger Spice (approximately 24 pounds) is a super sweet little lady who loves all the things - people, toys, playing with people and toys, food, snacks, dogs, and whatever new thing she discovered this morning. Ginger Spice enjoys playing with other puppies and she has a blast running around our fenced-in play yard. Ginger is outgoing, social, & friendly - she is always ready to make new friends of both the human & canine species. This baby girl is going to have SO MUCH FUN learning about life in New Hampshire with her new person or family! We suspect that Ginger Spice will be 70-85 pounds when full grown, but this is not an exact science, so please take the estimate with a grain of salt ;) Come down and meet the Spice Girls today - they love greeting their fans!If you'd like to meet Ginger Spice and all her friends at the New Hampshire SPCA, please visit our Adoption Center during our open hours: 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day except Wednesdays (closed). Plus, this summer, we will be open until 7:00 p.m. on Thursdays! Have questions? Call (603) 772-2921 ext. 110 or email info@nhspca.org today.
