Story
Ollie is a 12-pound Boston Terrier mix who came to WARL as a stray and is now looking for a home that will give him the time and understanding he deserves. He can be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, Ollie’s playful side shines—he loves to zoom around and happily blast through his toy collection.Ollie is close to being housetrained and is still working through some marking in certain spots, so a patient home willing to continue that training will set him up for success. He enjoys going for walks and would do best with people who are excited to make daily strolls part of his routine.Ollie may be able to live with another dog, but any potential canine housemates will need to meet him first. If there are kids in the home, they should be teens and up who can respect his space when he feels overwhelmed and will also need to meet him prior to adoption. With patience and consistency, Ollie will make a wonderful, fun-loving companion. He is already doing great spending time with staff and volunteers. *Ollie will have to return to the shelter later in the month for a surgery on his eyes, that WARL will provide at no extra cost to his adopters. We would be happy to tell you more - please email dogs@worcesterarl.org with questions.If you are interested in adopting Ollie, please come to the shelter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm during our walk in hours. If you are unable to come during those hours please email dogs@worcesterarl.org to check what other times/days may be available.

Story
I met Luna 2 and a half years ago. A couple I knew had her. The couple were in need of a place for them and their dog to go for a short period of time. I ended up asking them to leave due to normal couple issues but I kept the dogs for them till they found a place where they could have them. Long story short another friend took the male dog as it was to much for me to have both. Almost 2 years later and I still have Luna. I love this dog so much but I don't have the time or funds to give her what she deserves. All she wants is love and attention. She wears diapers as she drops urine regularly and if she barks more sprays out. Luna loves stuffed animals to suckle on at night and she loves food. She does get fearful and cowers if she has an accident in her and thinks she's in trouble, I do feel she was abused at one point. Luna just needs the vet care and unconditional love every animal deserves. She is loyal and loving and anyone who adopts her will be lucky to have a dog like her.

Story
Meet Zyon — the 20-lb soul who’s done pretending life with chaos fits him. At 7 years old, this Boston Terrier just wants calm. He spent years trying to keep it together in a busy home, but the noise and unpredictability of little kids were too much. Now he’s safe, healing, and figuring out what it means to actually relax. He’s housebroken, crate-trained, and loyal to the core. He’ll curl up beside you, follow you from room to room, and give his whole heart once he feels secure. But he’s not looking for playdates, toddlers, or dog-park drama — just someone steady who gets him. He loves food (bananas especially), car rides, and quiet companionship. Zyon’s not broken — he just needs a home that matches his energy: peaceful, patient, and real.  Is it you?   This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (Please note: Puppies under 3 months old may not be sterilized prior to adoption. If this is the case, your adoption coordinator will provide guidance on the process.)   To adopt or learn more about this dog, you must complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com.   PLEASE READ:     •    If a dog or puppy is listed, they are currently available for adoption. However, they may already be pending an adoption, and their profile may not yet reflect this.     •    All information is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the posting date.     •    Unless explicitly stated, Sandy Paws Rescue does not guarantee the breed of any dog. Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments.   Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well.   Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation.   For information on adoption fees, procedures, or FAQs, visit our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com.   The FIRST step in adopting from Sandy Paws Rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.   ##2564007##

Story
Meet Coco! A joyful almost eleven-year-old Boston Terrier mix currently living in Orange, NJ, whose heart is as big as her happy-go-lucky spirit and whose black-and-white patchwork coat is as charming as her playful personality. Coco starts every day with a dance, literally! She twirls in circles, tail wagging, eyes bright, and full of excitement for what lies ahead. Despite her senior status, this 40-pound bundle of energy lives life with the zest of a pup half her age. She loves exploring the yard, tossing around her stuffed animals, chasing rope toys, and finding the perfect sunny spot to soak up the day. Her goofy antics will have you laughing daily, whether she’s rolling on the grass or sneaking off to her crate for a nap with a blanket draped over her head like a little canine cave dweller! Coco is crate trained, house-trained, and a delight indoors. She's never chewed furniture or had accidents and knows commands like sit, stay, down, come, and leave it. She’s also quite affectionate and never misses a chance to hand out kisses or snuggle up on the couch! Coco has lived with her sister dog for years, but after a change in their living situation, tensions arose, and Coco initiated a scuffle a few months ago. Since then, they've been kept separate to ensure safety and peace. While Coco can be reactive around other dogs, she’s done well in structured settings like vet visits, grooming salons, and boarding facilities. Because of this history, she would thrive as the only pet in a home that can give her the calm and consistency she needs. What Coco needs is a pet-free home with guardians who can embrace her playful quirks, her lively personality, and her need for peaceful surroundings. While she doesn’t necessarily need a fenced-in yard, regular walks several times a day will keep her happy and content. She’s a low-maintenance companion who entertains herself, naps like a champ, and brings joy simply by being herself. Could your home be the cozy haven Coco’s ready to bring her happiness to?

Story
Meet Moxie! Moxie is approximately 4 years old, 26 lbs currently and she has some Boston Terrier and Bichon Frise in her mix! She was a local surrender due to persistent Urinary Infections which we have treated and it is now under control. She will need to be continue to be on a urinary diet and meds. In her local foster home, she is doing great with house training. She is reactive on leash so needs a fenced in yard or a very quiet walking route. She could go to a home with teens and needs to be an only dog. She has not been exposed to cats. Her foster says, `Moxie loves everyone she meets. She is super smart, comes when called, holds eye contact when dinner is placed down and waits for ok before diving in. She is the most patient girl. Super smart Moxie will quickly learn whatever she is taught. She is the best companion, affectionate and funny. She’ll follow you everywhere and will happily accept affection all day long!`She is available for adoption in Hopkinton by appointment.
