Story
PLEASE NOTE: This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to Massachusetts shortly with no additional travel costs. Roughly 90% of our dogs are adopted prior to their transport up to MA and 10% are adopted locally.Meet Riddle! Riddle is approximately 5 years old, 22 lbs at the moment, and he may have some Border Collie in his mix. In his foster home, Max is doing great with his house-training, crate-training, and working hard on his leash walking. He could join households with kids 10+, other dogs, and dog-savvy cats.His foster says, `Riddle is very sweet and eager to please! He loves his dog friends and leaves the cats alone as they please! He doesn’t care much for toys in the house but would love to chase after a frisbee! He knows how to sit, but struggles to do so when he is so excited to see you and his friends! He needs a confident K9 friend who will play with him until they both get tired and can cuddle to their hearts content! He can be vocal some when first put in his crate, but he settles down rather quickly and is quiet the rest of the time! He even does well with towels and beds in his crate and has not made any messes in his crate or in the house. He would love to be your next best friend, but even more your lonely dog who needs a friend!`He is available for adoption in N Dartmouth in 11/9.

Story
PJ is a good boy. His dog dad died four months ago and he's in need of a loving home. He knows basic obedience commands, like sit, down, paw, loves, and out. He is food driven! For the right treat he'd do just about anything! While he's grown up around cats he has learned not to mess with them! He's playful and loves to chase tennis balls.

Story
These adorable puppies are looking for their happily ever after! Duncan and siblings were brought to our sister rescue in Louisiana after being born to a Border Collie mama. Their dad is unknown, but we do know that these little ones are full of puppy love, curiosity, and plenty of cuddles! They are 9 weeks old and are ready to start their next chapter with loving families. There are 4 males and 3 females in the litter, and they will be available for adoption September 14, 2026, following their health exams. If you’ve been dreaming of adding a puppy to your family, one of these little hearts may be the perfect match. Interested in adopting?

Story
Lilly-- What you dream of in a fur baby's story! Lilly is a perfect size fur baby that would be a great addition for someone who wants an active already trained good to go type of dog! She is six years old and ready for her next adventure. She has been loved her whole life and taken excellent care of, but her current environment is no longer one she can thrive in. The young babies and toddler make her to nervous and anxious and it's just not fair to Lilly. Lilly is SO smart, loyal, affectionate, and fun. She is the kind of dog who just wants to be wherever her people are. She loves being included and is happiest when she can hang out right alongside you. Some of Lillys favorite things: Snuggling in bed Going for walks Hiking and exploring Running around and having room to roam Peanut butter Long car rides — she is an absolute champ Being near her people Her crate — she has always genuinely loved her crate and sees it as her safe space Learning and training — she is incredibly intelligent and has been very well trained Being OFF leash and getting to explore — she has been trained for this and absolutely loves it She is house trained; crate trained and comes with her E-collar and everything she needs to continue her training. We truly believe Lilly was made for a home with space, structure, adventure, and someone who wants a best friend by their side. A child-free and ideally dog-free home would probably be her happiest fit, not because she's horrible, but because she prefers to be an only dog and offers so much to someone that a second dog isn't necessary. She would thrive in an environment where she can soak up all the attention. Lilly loves adventure and has been in so many social situations that she is amazing. The best way to begin a potential adoption is to directly EMAIL STORKWOODS@COMCAST.NET and request an application.

Story
He requires a lot of attention, he’s very smart. I’ve taught him some tricks. He’s good with the right trainer to teach him to be good with other dogs. I prefer him to be the only dog in home, previous owner told me that he was good with all other pets.
