Story
Fane is a happy, fun little fellow, 2 years old and weighs just 15 lbs. Just look at those big, dark and mesmerizing eyes… If anyone can get a treat from you, it’s sure to be him! Fane loves attention and playing outside (when it is warm enough) and would love a home with another young, small dog to romp around with since he absolutely loves playing with friends! He can be nervous around larger dogs at first and in any case a home with similar sized dog would be best for him. After play he settles down nicely and likes to cuddle too! He is a good boy that ended up at an overcrowded shelter in the south due to no fault of his own. He will be coming to New England in mid-December and is eager to start a new chapter of his young life. If think you might be interested in adopting, fostering to adopt or fostering this sweet little bundle of joy, please contact Village for Paws Rescue at villageforpawsrescue@gmail.com for more information or to fill out an application.

Story
Meet Elfie! Elfie is a sweet, gentle three-year-old pup weighing in at 22 pounds, and he’s officially on the lookout for his forever family. This little guy is as friendly as they come—he loves other dogs, does wonderfully with cats, and is great with kids. Elfie walks beautifully on leash and is always up for an adventure, especially if it involves a car ride. At home, he’s a total gem: fully house-trained, kennel-trained, and eager to please. If you’re searching for a loyal companion with a big heart and an easygoing personality, Elfie might just be your perfect match. He’s ready to fill a home with love, joy, and plenty of tail wags! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NAF/Dog

Story
Meet Dixie & Talia – a bonded pair! Dixie is a 12-year-old Chihuahua (nicknamed Piglet) who loves dog beds, plays hard, then naps hard. She’s mostly pad-trained, does well with a fenced yard, and takes Carprofen for mild arthritis but stays active. Together, these two are sweet, funny, and great with dogs, cats, and even poultry. They’d thrive in a home with a fenced yard to play and then snuggle. They come with beds, crate, toys, chews, meds, records, leashes, and collars. Adoption fee for the pair is $500.

Story
Mr. Buttons (aka Pancake) is a 7 yr old absolutely adorable 11 lb neutered male chihuahua. Mr. Buttons does well with other animals and kids in foster. He sticks with his pack outdoors and is housetrained. Mr. Buttons does not require a crate as he's perfectly fine out with the other dogs in the home. We're working on, 'sit' with him and leash walking as he's not super familiar with a leashes job. He's super snuggly if you sit down with him. He adores people and most people adore him. Someone is gonna get very lucky with this best boy.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 7, 2025, 1:44 pm
