Story
This is Loki He is a 2.5 year old neutered male American Pitbull Terrier. Loki would need to go to an experienced home. With a family/individual that has the time to give him the training, structure and exercise he needs. He is energetic and at times stubborn. He gets anxious when there are storms, wind, or loud noises. He does not like to be restrained for routine care or vet care (thrashes around and panics). When we are out on walks he seems reactive to other dogs walking by (especially smaller dogs). We have tried obedience training but was easily distracted by other dogs. He has also previously gone to doggie daycamp and has even been boarded and played with other dogs. However, on leash he behaves differently. Loki can be rambunctious and still gets mouthy sometimes, even with us. So a home with older/teen children would probably be best for him. He is a huge love bug and would love to cuddle on the bed/couch. Can take the crate, dog food and dog toys we have for him.

9 month old birthday is Feb 19th Very adorable awesome dog!!! Had him since he came out of momma! He has tried going to a new family but they were scared of him because he kept barking and supposedly “being aggressive” but I believe he was just showing aggressiveness because he was in a new home, with people who he did not know at all :( he’s such a good dog has never did no harm! He just needs a owner who can understand that’s he’s still a puppy and needs some time to get comfortable it don’t just happen in that day you get him :(

Story
Benji is 3 years old his birthday is Christmas eve. Hes a dog that needs a job/exercise. He does really well around female strangers but men make him nervous. He is crate trained knows basic commands. Hes not a dog that can be gifted to a child he doesn't know his own size he avoids infants but will play with children. He likes to relax and just be around you. He has OCD and when not properly tired will hyper focus on his tail he knows to grab a toy instead of his tail but will go in circles as if hes chasing his tail.

Story
*see my video!* Chance is a happy, playful, and energetic 2-year-old pit bull who’s always ready for an adventure. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or just zooming around the yard, this guy has energy to spare! He’s also house trained and has lived with kids as young as 4, though his enthusiasm might be a little much for smaller kids who could get knocked over in his excitement. Chance would thrive in an active home that can keep up with his need for exercise and playtime. He hasn’t had much experience with other dogs and doesn’t do well with them, so he’d be happiest as the only animal in the home. He can walk past other dogs without a fuss, but he’s not one for socializing with them. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, people-focused companion who’s always up for the next big adventure, Chance is ready to meet you! If you're ready to adopt now and want to learn more about, meet, or adopt this pet, you can start the process in one of two ways: Come on in during open adoption hours Tuesday - Saturday 12:30-3:00! For in-shelter pets (not in foster care) coming in ASAP is the fastest way to adopt. **the below two methods are slower than visiting us** Call us (413-781-4000 x 1) or email us (springfield@dakinhumane.org) for more information about a pet. We are often on the line with another client, but we return voice mail and emails within 24 hours. All adult dog adoption fees include; -spay/neuter -rabies and kennel cough vaccinations - heartworm test -current parvo/distemper vaccines (may need additional boosters with your veterinarian) -microchip implanted & registered to adopter

Story
Lyla arrived at TJO a little worse for wear, but with no shortage of sweetness. She's still currently working on gaining weight and fixing up some skin issues, but she's a loveable gal who has more interest in people than toys, and loves getting to play with other dogs! She can be intense with her food, so it's important that she's left alone while she eats to avoid any unnecessary sense of conflict. OTHER PETS: Lyla got along with other dogs and invited play appropriately, but she doesn't quite understand when other dogs aren't interested in joining her. She can get overexcited, and that can be overwhelming for some dogs. Her best match would likely be another dog that can match her energy level and play style, while also being tolerant as she learns how to interact. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone who has experience with dogs with skin issues that can be dedicated to maintaining Lyla's health would be ideal in order to keep her comfortable throughout her life. [Some Experience] KIDS: Lyla can be mouthy when being scratched and is intense about her food. She would do best in a home with children that are old enough to respect her boundaries and allow her to approach when ready. [15+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Lyla is a sweet, wiggly girl who would be a great partner for walks around the block! While she loves hanging out with her people, it's important for her to get both physical exercise and mental enrichment to make sure she doesn't create unsafe entertainment. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: Lyla arrived at TJO with an ear and skin infection that she's still being treated for. It's likely that her skin issues are the result of allergies, so it's possible that she may need on-going medicated baths or a restricted diet to maintain her coat health. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Lyla is still at the beginning of her positive reinforcement training journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer both patience and support while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Lyla not only learn her basic cues, but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself while bonding with her guardian! [Moderate] GROOMING: While Lyla has short fur, she may require medicated baths every so often to maintain her skin health. [Minimal]March 13, 2025, 5:56 pm

Story
OTHER PETS: Einstein is excited with dogs and showed some rude behavior towards other male dogs. He would likely do best with a tolerant, confident, female dog who will help him learn appropriate dog to dog behavior with proper monitoring and supervision. As with all our dogs, Einstein should meet any dog he would be living with prior to adoption. [Case-by-Case (Must Meet First) **NO CATS**]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Einstein is uncomfortable with some handling, intense about his food & has shown pushy/rude behavior toward male dogs. His best fit would be with a person who has experience building confidence in dogs and supporting them while they learn appropriate behavior with positive reinforcement. [Some Experience] KIDS: Einstein gets excited during play, becomes intense & does not always settle appropriately afterward. He is also uncomfortable with some handling, intense about food & has a high activity level. Einstein's best fit would be in an active home with older teens and no cats. As with all our adoptable dogs, Einstein should meet any minor humans he would be living with prior to adoption.[15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Einstein is a smart, playful dog with energy to spare. He would do best with multiple daily walks and positive reinforcement training to continue building his confidence and skills. With appropriate positive training, he would be great at dog sports or being an adventure companion to his humans. A combination of mental enrichment and playtime will help meet his needs without overstimulating him. [Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Minimal] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Einstein bond with his new owner, build his confidence, learn basic cues and skills, possibly help him feel more comfortable with other dogs, and play with humans politely, and open up a variety of activities for exercise and recreation. Einstein is observant and catches on quickly even though we believe he has not yet benefitted from positive reinforcement training. [Moderate]March 13, 2025, 5:56 pm
