Story
Meet Gunnar! Gunnar is approximately 2 years old and 22 lbs currently and he is a Mutt with perhaps a splash of dachshund. Gunnar was found as a stray and was Heartworm positive. He has been treated and is now ready for his forever home. In his foster home, he is working hard on his house training, crate training and leash walking. He could join households with kids 5+, cats, and other dogs.His foster says, `Mr. T.M. Gunnar aka Tiny Man Gunnar is an absolutely amazing pup. He is happy no matter what is going on. From sitting on the bed with his cat sister and looking out the window, playing around with his lab foster sister Lady, going for long walks, playing with toys in the yard, to burying himself under the covers with you at night when it is time to go to sleep, Gunner does it all with the utmost enthusiasm. His spunkiness will keep you smiling all day. He loves to run and play in the yard, and will gladly perform the perfect squeekerectomy to any toy that needs it. He will bark to let you know that he needs to go outside to potty, and when it is time to feed him. Tiny Man Gunner has been through alot in his young life, and continues to show us everyday how to live life with love and joy.`He is available for adoption in Needham Heights or Hopkinton by appointment.

Story
DOB 12-7-2024 Wolfie is a gorgeous Red and White Long Hair! This beautiful boy loves everyone, likes to play with toys and his friends. He is neutered, heartworm negative and has received a Proheart6 preventative injection, up to date on shots and is now looking for a loving home. His adoption fee is 900.00 and his transport fee is 135.00. HEARTS is our transport, they run every 2 weeks. It's the best transport and the only one we will use.

We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

Story
Linus is a sweet, cuddly dachshund born in 2018 who absolutely loves being close to his people. His favorite things include going for walks, soaking up the sun, snuggling on the couch, and burrowing under cozy blankets. He’s also a loyal little protector who likes to keep an eye on the house and let you know when someone’s nearby. As much as we love him, our growing family (with a toddler and another baby on the way) has made it difficult to give Linus the environment he truly needs. He can feel anxious around a busy toddler, and we don’t feel it’s fair for him to spend so much time separated from the family. We are looking for a loving home where Linus can feel safe, relaxed, and get all the cuddles and attention he deserves — ideally a calmer environment without young children and other dogs. This is not an easy decision for us, and we want to make sure Linus finds the perfect match. If you or someone you know could give him a wonderful home, please reach out ❤️

Story
Meet Georgie! 🐾 This 3 month old Dachshund mix is just as cute as can be, with his short little legs and that adorable waddle that makes you smile every time he toddles by. Georgie is a fun-loving, happy puppy who enjoys playtime and being silly, but he’s just as quick to curl up and fall fast asleep once he’s all tired out. He has such a sweet, affectionate nature and loves being close to his people, whether he’s playing at your feet or snuggled up beside you. He’s a smart little guy and already doing great with house training. Georgie does wonderful with kids, cats, and other dogs, making him an easy addition to most homes. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find his forever family 💙
