Story
Hi, my name is Manny & although I look cute & cuddly as can be, do not be fooled! I can be the biggest jerk when you first get me home. I will try to establish dominance & resource guard my person. BUT here is the thing - put me in my place & I will be your BEST friend & your BEST snuggler! I NEED a home with an experienced dachshund owner. I am very loving & sweet with people & I love to burrow & cuddle with my people. I enjoy evenings or nap times burrowed under a blanket with my person on the couch. I also love to play with other dogs & hang out with them as well. I like other dogs but do not need to be placed in a home with one. I also do just fine with kitties - I ignore them. I prefer a fenced in yard as I have some energy that I would like to burn off or I need someone who will be committed to taking me on long walks every day! I am crate & house trained (like a dachshund!). No children please. I would do best also in a quiet home. I do not like a lot of commotion & can get a bit anxious. In order to set me up to succeed, my foster family has trained me to go into an xpen that they have set up in a bedroom for some down time if I get overstimulated. It works for me & keeps everyone safe. I have no issue being crated or in my pen. Right now I sleep in the pen at night but he I have 3 other foster siblings. I hope to be able to sleep in the big bed when I am placed in a home with one other pup, as I am a cuddler & would enjoy sleeping with my people. Manny is neutered, microchipped & UTD on vaccines. He has no known health issues. His adoption fee is $500. He is available for a meet & greet to an approved applicant. Manny will be coming with training as well. Please apply for him at coaldr.org if you are able to give him the home he needs.

He is an easy going guy who is eager to play, but equally happy in couch potato mode. Danny would fit into pretty much any home easily.Danny gets along very well with all the dogs he has met so far and enjoys playing with them. He would prefer a home without cats, but he has been around young children and did great with them.Danny is fully house trained and will settle happily in his crate when solo during the day, and also at night. He will need to learn his leash skills, but he is a fast learner.Danny has so much love to give and will make a perfect companion! Could he be the one for you?Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line.

Story
***seeking Foster-to-Adopt*** Meet Wally – 25 pounds of love and loyalty, wrapped in a handsome brindle coat. 🐶💕 At 12 years young, Wally is the ultimate cuddle connoisseur. His favorite hobbies include: ✅ Following his human like a very short, very hairy bodyguard ✅ Requesting (demanding?) belly rubs with zero shame ✅ Wiggling onto the couch like he pays rent there ✅ Being absurdly cute at all times Don’t let his recent foot surgery fool you – this little guy is still trotting around like he’s auditioning for a puppy parkour team. He will need his stitches out in about a week (from today 4/17/25). He also needs a dental, but don’t worry – he's available for a foster-to-adopt situation, so you can fall in love while he finishes his glow-up. 🦷✨ Wally is mostly house trained (he's trying, okay?) and gets along great with other dogs. Just a few oopsies here and there – cut the man some slack, he’s 12 and just had foot surgery! So if you're looking for a snuggle shadow who thinks belly rubs are a constitutional right, Wally’s your guy. Bonus: he’s part Dachshund, part Border Terrier, and 100% your next best friend. If you are interested in finding out more about Wally, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog Wally is being fostered in Clinton, MA.

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.

Story
We interviewed Porkbun for her adoption biography to help her find the perfect retirement home. This is how it went… GBP: “So Porkbun, what is your age and weight?” PB: “Well thats rude to ask a lady.” *followed by some displeased barks and rumbles* GBP: “alright we can skip that one and leave it to the adopter’s imagination” PB: “No one better be imagining I weigh more than I do. I need a nap I’m done with this interview!” *Porkbun scurries away at an impressive speed for such short legs. She then dives into a soft, cuddly bed in a room that is empty of people and quiet.* As you can gather from her interview, Porkbun isnt the most social old lady, but if you are someone she’s familiar with- she’ll show off her silly and spunky side with delight. Off the record, we’d guess she’s about 8-10 years old and weighs under 15 lbs. Sure she’s got a spunky side but she’s got plenty of great qualities that make her a true gem. Porkbun Highlights: loves her crate // ok being alone could live with cats tolerant of mature dogs food motivated  lower energy  likes a brisk leash walk reserved but silly once she is comfortable  Porkbun’s foster mom can’t say enough about how easy she’s been. She will make a great addition to a chill household. __________________Fostered in MA If you or someone you know is interested in learning more- submit an application to set up a phone call with one of our matchmakers Adoption Application Here www.galsbestpal.com/adoption Not ready to make the adoption commitment?  We are always looking for fosters!
