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 Roo! Roo is approximately 1 year old, 50 lbs currently and he might have some Boxer in his mix! He was found as a stray. In his foster home, he is doing great with house training, crate training, and leash walking. He could join households with kids 5+, and other playful dogs. No cats, please!His foster says, `Hi! My name is Roo because when I run I look like a kangaroo! Roo is a 1-year-old sweetheart with the cutest underbite you’ve ever seen and a personality to match. He’s good with other dogs (but no cats, please!) and has the best balance of energy. He loves all toys and is always happy to play, whether it’s tossing one around on his own or engaging in a game with you. When playtime is over, he’s just as content relaxing nearby and enjoying the calm. He would thrive in a home where he can be part of daily life — lounging nearby, going for walks, and soaking up affection. He’s the perfect mix of loyal companion and laid-back couch buddy. Whether you’re looking for a walking partner, a best friend, or a dog who will make your house feel more like home, he checks all the boxes.`He is available for adoption in N Dartmouth on February 27th or possibly late January. Please fill out an application on our website at https://www.browndogcoalition.com/adoptable as a first step.-Dogs may not be given as gifts or surprises.-Please thoughtfully discuss with your entire household the physical, safety, financial and emotional responsibilities of a dog BEFORE applying to adopt.- More information about our adoption process, application and adoption fees can be found at browndogcoalition.com

Story
Charlie was scared when he first arrived at TJO, but he found his bravery and found some friends! This 5 month old wiggle monster is looking for some humans who will help him grow and learn how to be the happiest dog ever. He is a puppy and will likely continue to get bigger (most boxers are 50lbs+ once fully grown.)OTHER PETS: Charlie is interested in other dogs and wants to play with them, but he did meet some dogs whose play style was too intense for him. He would do best with another social dog who is playful but not intense. As with all our dogs, Charlie should meet any dogs he would be living with prior to adoption. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone with experience owning a dog as well as with positive reinforcement would be best suited to handle the curveballs that come up with puppies as they learn new skills. [Some Experience] KIDS: Charlie is social, comfortable with handling, and has not engaged in resource guarding while at TJO. He is interested in human interaction and would likely get along with most humans; as with all our dogs Charlie should meet any minor humans he would be living with prior to adoption. [Likely (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Charlie still has lots of puppy energy and he will likely grow into an active dog, he would do best with regular exercise as well as plenty of mental stimulation and enrichment such as short play sessions, food puzzles, and games. Puppies also need a lot of sleep in between activities. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Minimal] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Charlie bond with his new owner while learning life skills and fun tricks, as well as building confidence and resilience.

Story
Meet Jojo 3–4 years old • Small mixed breed • Fostered locally We found Jojo at a local municipal shelter in need of some serious TLC. As a stray, we don’t know his past—but we do know he’s a survivor. Jojo was severely underweight when he was found, yet his resilience and joyful spirit have shined through every step of his recovery. Since joining the BTDR family, Jojo has been on a refeeding plan and has already gained 12 pounds—and counting! He’s now settled into his foster home, where he earns A+ reviews for being adorable, potty trained, and an excellent office buddy. Jojo is just a few pounds away from being ready for neuter. While he’s still filling out, he’ll remain a fairly small guy even once his body is fully back in shape. Sweet, resilient, and endlessly charming, Jojo is ready to find a forever home where he can continue to thrive. Interested in adopting Jojo?

Story
Basil has been with us for 47 days and hasn't had a single application...or phone call...or meet.We get it. She's a big lady. She's almost 80lbs which is a whole lot of dog, coupled in with the fact that she's very much still a puppy at just about a year old and she has all of that bouncy, goofy puppy energy and endless enthusiasm for everything? It's a lot to ask of anyone. We get it. We do. But this sweet girl is so, so worth it.Do you want a best friend? Check. Do you want a personal trainer AND a cheerleader? Double check. Do you want someone to look at you like you hung the moon and all of the stars in the sky JUST for them? CHECK. Trust us, no one will ever love you as much as Basil will love you and no one will ever be happier to see you than she will be. She's a certified silly goose, a hammy ham for attention, a true goofy goober, and will be an endless source of entertainment.Did we mention she's also a snugglebug when it's naptime? Basil is smart, eager to please, eager to LEARN, and has a natural zest for life that we could all learn from. She's an active, sporty girl that would love to join you on hikes or beach trips. She does best with submissive male dogs because she's a bit of a dominant diva and she seems to be afraid of cats. We would prefer kids 12+ but may make exceptions for the right family that has experience. She is a boxer/American bulldog mix so, since she's a "restricted breed", you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.
