ADOPTED ON 12-10-16 - Left to fend for themselves, Tris and her siblings were abandoned on a walking trail in a cardboard box. This person might have thought they were being kind leaving these babies where they were sure to be found and taken care of, but what they didn’t consider was what else could have happened. Not only were they vulnerable to wild animals and some maybe-not-so-nice humans, but the burden placed on the kind-hearted person who does help the pups is a genuine one. Luckily for Tris and her brother and sister, there are those who don’t consider that burden too large to intervene.
Today, this beautiful German Shepard mix is a happy, healthy puppy. Tris plays, naps, then plays again all day long. Despite being left at only 4 weeks old; way too young to leave mom; and not even having teeth to chew even if she was able to find food, Tris is growing quickly into a gorgeous girl with beautiful markings. As with any puppy, Tris needs lots of exercise, playtime, and love. She gets along with everyone, including all the other foster friends she lives with. The wonderful thing about puppies is, with a lot of love and patience, they can be raised to adapt to your household. Tris deserves a loving forever home after her very rough start in life. If you have a large yard, lots of children, and a spot in your heart, please consider giving Tris a home where she can grow into the loving companion she was meant to be.
Personality and temperament aren’t cast in stone at birth. Puppies come in to this world with a clean slate and we stand back and wonder how they are so trusting and forgiving. Tris and her siblings don’t have to forgive but they give is their whole heart to their family. I bet you can’t fit that in a cardbord box.
This dog cannot be adopted to Massachusetts residents due to new laws regarding rescue dogs being prohibited from adoption. Please contact Patricia Cabral at: 617-626-1786 or Mike Cahill at: 617-626-1794 for questions regarding what dogs you are allowed to adopt
