Story
Toast may be 10 years old, but don’t let her age fool you—this little Dachshund/Beagle mix still has plenty of spunk, personality, and opinions!Toast recently went through quite a lot. She had a full-mouth dental, was spayed, and had several mammary masses removed. Unfortunately, the masses were malignant, and because of her cancer diagnosis, Toast is now looking for a special hospice home where she can spend her time surrounded by comfort, love, and all the little things that make a dog happy.And Toast has made it very clear that she would prefer to be the only dog in the household. She doesn`t particularly enjoy sharing her space with other canine roommates, and honestly, at this stage of life, we think she deserves to be a little spoiled. What Toast does want is a person of her very own. Someone who will give her a cozy bed, tasty snacks, gentle companionship, and plenty of attention. She may be a senior, but she still has a playful, lively spirit and isn`t ready to sit quietly on the sidelines! She love, Love, LOVES her walks and would really like to live with someone who is home a lot and loves to curl up early at night.Toast`s hospice family will need to be comfortable monitoring her quality of life and working with their veterinarian as her needs change. Hospice isn`t about giving up—it`s about making sure Toast is comfortable, loved, and able to enjoy her good days for as long as possible. Veterinary hospice care focuses on comfort, symptom management, and quality of life for pets for however much time they may have.Toast has already been through enough changes. Now she`s looking for the best one yet: a home to call her own.If you have room in your heart (and on your couch) for a spunky little senior who would love to be your one and only, Toast is waiting.Toast is waiting for her new family in a foster home. If you would like to meet her, please reach out to foster@lowellhumanesociety.org to schedule a meet n greet!

Updated 9-10-26  LADY UPDATE: She’s a little shadow with a LOT of personality.At 4 years old, Lady knows exactly what she loves: her person, her walks, sniffing absolutely everything, kisses, and curling up in your lap for TV time.Her foster has gotten to know her really well, and we now have a much better idea of the home that would suit her best:Lady is an active girl who gets much more out of a good walk than simply running around a backyard. A couple of walks around the neighborhood each day, with plenty of time to sniff and explore, make her very happy.She benefits from having a crate as part of her routine. It gives her a place to settle and helps her regulate all that enthusiasm.Lady is extremely affectionate. She wants to be near her person, gets SO excited when you come home, loves giving kisses, and is perfectly happy climbing into your lap to watch TV.She does have a strong prey drive and loves investigating everything around her on walks.We’re recommending an adult home for Lady. She can be very mouthy when excited and sometimes gets overly interested in toys or things that aren’t hers, so a home without children will be the best fit for her.She doesn’t need a huge fenced yard or acres to run — she needs someone who enjoys getting out for walks, letting her use that nose, giving her some structure, and then making room on the couch.Lady is 4 years old, spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. ##2820682##

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 Blondie! She is approximately 2 years old, 15.6 lbs currently and she may have some Dachshund in her mix! She was confiscated from a hoarding situation and is very, very shy. In her foster home, she is doing great with her house training, but has no experience with crate training or leash walking. She could join households with teenagers, and other dogs. She has not been exposed to cats. She needs a special adopter who has experience working with shy dogs.Blondie needs a fenced yard and another confident dog to show her the ropes in her future home. Her foster says, `Blondie has been traveling a long road of learning people just wanna love her. She is very good at going outside to potty and loves being out in the yard playing. Though, all terrains are a playground for her with another willing participant. She is still young and not used to being an inside dog and is learning being held is kinda nice and some things are not suppose to include her teeth marks. She is very quiet except when she gets excited when playing and when you come home she will WoooWooo at you but not bark. I think if you have cats that would be just fine, she may want to play with them. Her fur is very low upkeep! She does not get on the furniture or jump on you.`She is available for adoption in N Dartmouth on October 9th. 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
