Story
Meet Daphne! - Shepherd Mix - Female - 2 years young - 41lbs - Spayed - Up to date on all vaccinations Daphne was rescued from a high kill shelter where she was next in line to be euthanized. When we saw a picture of how terrified and scared she was we knew we couldn’t let anything bad happen to her again. Daphne is very nervous and scared and we are assuming she was abused in her past as she cowers low when people walk by quick. She is really starting to open up in her foster home and getting more and more comfortable each day. Daphne needs and adopter who will be patient with her and show her that she is worthy of your love. She’s so unsure on who to trust but we can see that she wants to trust so bad. She gets along well with other dogs and sleeps through the night in the crate. Do you have enough love and patience in your heart to give Daphne the best life possible? If so, she’s desperately waiting for you! To apply to adopt this beautiful girl, please fill out an adoption application located on our website. www.aplaceforace.org

Story
Maci is a lovely lady with a big personality! She is a growing girl who is super smart and loves to learn new things! Maci enjoys playing and running around, she is often happy to just toss her toys around and keep herself entertained. She loves the outdoors and could make a good hiking buddy one day. Maci had limited experiences before coming to the shelter so new people and places can be a bit overwhelming at first, so she is looking for a family that can help her settle in at her own pace. Maci has done well playing with dog friends while at the shelter, so we think she could do well with a confident canine companion who can keep up with her. If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm – no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs. Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog that’s a good match! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new dog or puppy the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources. For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/ Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they’re interested in - and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.

Story
Meet Ripley, a sweet 4 year old German Shepherd who is ready for his new home! This handsome boy loves to go on walks or adventures just as much as he loves to snuggle up at home for belly rubs and some quality couch time. While he is still working on his housebreaking skills, Ripley loves snacks and is happy to train with you! He could go home with a well-matched dog, or possibly with a dog-savvy cat as long as they are given a slow introduction. He could do well with children that are old enough to help out with his management plan.Ripley is ready to bring joy, loyalty, and fun to the right family. Could that be you? Come meet Ripley today and see what a loving and loyal friend he can be! If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment or application needed. Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through.

Story
Meet Mia, a sweet, smart, and cuddly girl. She loves nothing more than a good game of fetch and will happily chase after the ball for hours so is looking for an active family! She is a determined dog looking for a patient and understanding adopter who is willing to adjust her environment and management plan in real-time to help her succeed. With proper training and management, Mia has the potential to learn new behaviors. Flexibility and observation are key as Mia`s new family supports her growth. In the beginning, Mia will benefit from a controlled environment, to help her make the right decisions during her transition. Mia is looking for a patient adopter who is excited about training using positive reinforcement. An adopter who understands or is eager to learn how to read dog body language and respects her petting consent will be key. Mia prefers to be the only dog in the household and will thrive in a home that can offer her the structure and patience she needs to flourish.

Story
Loki is a very energetic, very smart, very attached 1 year old purebred German Shepherd puppy. Unfortunately, Loki doesn't get along with our other dog and it is causing a stressful living environment for both dogs. He would thrive in an only dog household and with someone who is experienced with working breeds. He loves going for walks, playing fetch, and especially loves using his nose to find hidden treats. He did do a 3-week bootcamp so he is fairly good on commands/recall but would benefit from continued training. And even though he is a high energy dog, when it's time to settle down there's nothing better than him resting his head on your arm at peace.
