Story
Buddy is a sweet older dog who loves to cuddle and go on walks. He needs to be rehomed because his owner is moving to a memory care unit where pets are not allowed. He would be great with someone who has time to be with him and take him on walks. He has been with another dog for most of his life and if possible it would be great if they could stay together. Lily is the other dog in the photo.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Frankie!   At the tender age of 12, Frankie is as beautiful as she is affectionate. She's looking for a forever home where her alone time is kept to a minimum, there's always a soft lap available, and, of course, there's plenty of room for her in the big bed. Frankie absolutely loves attention—and, if we're being honest, she expects it! She would be happiest as the one and only dog in the home, where she can soak up all the love she deserves.  She does co-exist with the other small older dogs in her foster home, but no interaction.  High-energy dogs make her nervous. If you're looking for a companion to accompany you on every car ride, Frankie may not be the perfect match. Car trips just aren't her thing. What she does enjoy are leisurely walks—or more accurately, leisurely sniffs! Frankie loves exploring the world at her own pace, carefully investigating every interesting scent she finds. After all, sniffing is great mental exercise! Frankie recently had a dental cleaning and a senior wellness blood panel. Her bloodwork showed mildly elevated liver enzymes, and our veterinarian has recommended repeating the panel in December. Her adopter should be comfortable following up with this testing and understand that, depending on the results, she may eventually need prescription food, supplements, or other supportive care. Frankie will bark briefly when left alone, so a home rather than an apartment or shared-wall living situation would likely be the best fit. This sweet girl has experienced more change than any senior dog should. As far as we know, her current foster home is already the third home she's had. That's why we're committed to finding the perfect family—one that will cherish her for the rest of her life. If you're looking for a devoted companion who wants nothing more than to love you, be loved in return, and spend her golden years by your side, Frankie may just be your perfect match. Due to her dislike of car rides, we would like to keep home visits/adoption to within one hour of Taunton, MA Adoption Fee:  $300.00 Apply only at:  www.paw-affectionrescue.org  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 9, 2026, 10:34 pm

Story
🐾 Meet Sweeney! 🐾 Sweeney is a gorgeous 5-year-old long-haired Dachshund weighing just 9 pounds. This sweet little guy is a former breeder dog who is now ready to discover what it’s like to be a cherished family member. Sweeney has a gentle, loving personality and would do best in a home with another friendly dog to keep him company and help build his confidence. Because he’s happiest with companionship, he’d also love a family where someone is home more often than not. He gets along well with other dogs and would likely do well with cats, too. Due to his small size and gentle nature, we’d prefer a home with older, respectful children. Sweeney is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, microchipped, and current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. Adoption Fee: $800 If you think Sweeney could be the perfect addition to your family, please submit an application at coaldr.org.

Story
Lola is a cute 11-year-old black and white dachshund beagle mix. She is energetic and loves walks but can tire out easily. She is great with people but cannot be around other dogs, unfortunately. She is a small dog, around 19 pounds. She is smart, loving, and a loyal companion. She is so very loved but after a recent life change, she needs a more stable environment. She takes a twice daily pill for seizures but has not had one for over a year. She has been the best family dog for us for over a decade and we hate to let her go but it is the best decision for her. We are heartbroken. She deserves a good loving home to live out her last years. Thank you for considering this forever loved, beautiful, amazing dog.
