Story
Meet the sweet and sensitive, Red. This girl has had a pretty rough past, but she`s ready to start fresh. Red came from an unsafe and unsanitary enviornment where she never got to practice being a `real dog.` This means that everything outside of her previous living environment is new(and therefore, frightening) to her. She is looking for a safe place to land where she can slowly come out of her shell at her own pace- without any expectations. She would benefit from a very quiet, predictable environment where no social pressure could be put on her.

Story
Arlo is a sweet 3 year old dog. He is intelligent, playful and sometimes goofy. He loves his basketball and will bop it with his nose to keep it rolling and chasing it or pick it up and goof around. He has a good disposition and has been well behaved with other dogs. Right now he goes to daycare twice a week and has done very well. He would thrive in an active environment. A farm or home with a backyard and a playmate would be ideal. Arlo has separation anxiety so he would need an experienced adopter who can be with him the first few weeks to work with him on staying alone. So far I haven't found anything that rattles him, he has not been bothered by fireworks, wheel chairs or sudden loud noises. He is curious and friendly his ears are usually pinned flat against his head when greeting you. The adopter will have to be able to afford to properly care for Arlo. If the right person comes along we can re-address the fee. Thank you.

Story
This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to New England shortly with no additional travel costs. The long distance adoption process includes talking to the foster they are living with in the south. Roughly 90% of our dogs are successfully long distance adopted and 10% adopted locally. **Please read Gin Spirits' entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Rounding out the SPIRITS litter is Gin Spirits, an 8-week-old Carolina Dog/Anatolian Shepherd mix, weighing 15 pounds (as of 1/30/26)! Gin was born born in Tennessee to nice, mellow medium-to-large breed dogs (pictured) which means as she grows, there'll be more to love! While her Momma is staying with their owner, Gin is ready to move onto bigger and better i.e. a classy New England home with you! Gin is a playful puppy who'll constantly keep you entertained with her antics and cuteness. But why keep her all to yourself? Gin is great with kids and other dogs, so you should definitely bring her to your next family picnic. Everyone will be so distracted by her friendliness, they won't even ask you about your depressing love life! It's a win-win! Gin would be great in a patient home where she can master puppy training and obedience school with tender loving care. She can't wait to grow and be the best companion for you! So don't be sad that your Bumble date ghosted! Gin will be right here with all the love you need! Adopt this cuddly girl today! All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be.

Roughly 90% of our dogs are successfully long distance adopted and 10% adopted locally. **Please read Patron Spirits' entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Patron Spirits, an 8-week-old Carolina Dog/Anatolian Shepherd mix, weighing 13 pounds (as of 1/30/26)! Patron hails from our SPIRITS litter and was born in Tennessee to nice, mellow medium-to-large breed dogs. While the owner is keeping Momma, this litter was surrendered so they could find a top-shelf fur-ever home in New England! The best thing about Patron is that he brings the fun of Mexico to you! He's an exuberant boy who's the perfect companion for anyone who needs a night out! Bonus points is that he also loves kids and plays with other dogs, so he'll be the most popular boy on your block! Even strangers will come up and ask to party with you (but you gotta check with Patron because you can't just invite any Joe Schmoe!) Since Patron is still young, he'll need some help with puppy training, crates and commands from his future family. In exchange for your help, he'll give you complimentary glasses from all the places he's traveled (mainly Tennessee, but hey! Have YOU been to Tennessee? If not, then take the win.) Patron can't wait to add some fun flavor to your family! Bring this sweet boy home today! All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption.

Story
CiCi is a super sweet, smart and resilient girl! She is about 2-1/2 years old, 55lbs and loving life in a foster home even though she is missing one back leg. This does not slow this fun loving girl down one bit! She runs and plays with the other dogs in her home and is only considers this change in her life when jumping up in her mom's truck or on a bed, which she achieves, but cautiously. Her foster mom says that "She smiles sometimes when you are talking to her and she is excited. Her personality is lovely as are her manners, even if she can be a bed hog! She enjoys walks and playing with all the other dogs, and loves to go for rides. She seems uninterested in cats and she is a really smart girl!" CiCi is microchipped, up to date on vetting, spayed, crate trained and house broken. If you would like to give CiCi the wonderful second chance she deserves and welcome her into your family, please email bigyellowgoose018@gmail.com for an application.
