Story
This is Xander! He's a beautiful tan and black Australian Cattle Dog/Shepherd mix. Xander has been in foster with a wonderful dog trainer for a year. He's now a charming, well-mannered and very well-behaved dog. He's got great recall, knows a ton of basic commands, does wonderfully off-leash, and his trainer has taught him loads of other useful commands. And, at such a young age, Xander still has tons of potential to become a great family pet, hiking companion, and/or travel buddy. If you think you might be interested in the perfect dog, please complete our adoption application at hsnb.org/adoptions. Xander's $200 adoption fee means he'll come neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 62 Age: 2yrs 5mths 0wks

Greetings, Simon here. I'm a happy, playful, fun-loving, dog waiting for an active person/family to come visit me & see how much joy & happiness I can bring into your lives. I get along with other dogs. I'm a good boy and love playing with toys and going on walks. I just get so excited and love to explore and may pull on the leash, but my wonderful foster has worked w/me on my leash pulling and manners. I'm ready for a safe and loving home. I know if you meet me, you will love me. If you come soon, I can go Trick or Treat with you. I promise to not eat all the candy. Simon says, please visit www.hsnb.org/dog-adoption-application and fill out the form, My $150 adoption fee means I will come to your home neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all my shots.

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Chance! He is about 5.5 year-old German Shepherd mix who came to the shelter as a stray in an extremely emaciated condition. But he's quite healthy now, weighing in at 95 pounds. Chance is also a very smart dog! He walks well on a leash and knows basic commands (sit, down, shake) and he waits upon command at a street or driveway for crossing. He enjoys playing fetch and even catches the ball in mid-air! With proper, supervised introductions, Chance would do fine in a home with a female dog friend around his age. Chance loves playing in yard with his best dog friend Ari (HSNB Alum). He acts like a puppy with her; staff and volunteers think its adorable. This sweet, funny, amazing guy has been at our shelter for over a year with very little interest and those of us who know Chance can't understand why. If you think you might want to give Chance a safe warm forever home, please visit our website at www.hsnb.org to fill out an adoption interest application. Chance's adoption fee will be discounted thanks to a generous sponsorship grant from the 15/10 Foundation! His fee helps us cover his neuter, microchip, and shots, including rabies. He's eagerly awaiting a best friend, could that be you? Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 95.25 Age: 5yrs 10mths 2wks

Story
This pouty-lipped girl is Lindsey, a beautiful American Pit Bull Terrier. At 55 pounds, she's the perfect size to take along on any adventure or cuddle up with on the couch. She does really wonderful meeting other dogs of all sizes, and she really loves playing with dogs of all sizes. She'd love to find her forever home with another dog, but adults and even kids are equally welcome. She loves meeting other dogs of all sizes, and she really loves playing with dogs her own size and bigger. Her foster parents agree! She walks very well on a leash and likes to visit her local dog friendly brew pub, but her favorite thing to do is romp with other dogs at the beach. She's a quick learner, house trained and knows many commands. She's super sweet, eager to please and ready for fun and adventure! Lindsey's $250 adoption fee means she'll come to you spayed, microchipped and up to date on my vaccinations. If you'd like to come meet her, please complete an adoption interest application here: https://www.hsnb.org/dog-adoption-application/. Hope to see you soon!

Story
Hi, I'm Freddy! I'm a super sweet and gentle Shepherd mix pup. When I first arrived at the shelter I was pretty scared of everything in the new world around me. Thanks to the patience of our awesome staff and volunteers, I'm really coming out of my shell! I've made a few other doggie pals here at the shelter too and love playing with them in the play yard. I would thrive in a loving home with a patient understanding and person/family. With the right touch I can blossom into the confident boy I was meant to be! Freddy's foster had this to say, "Freddy really blossomed outside of the shelter environment! While always on the shy side around people at the shelter, at home he just wanted to be near us and loved getting some extra rubs. He was happy to lounge around and snooze, but also found time to be curious and try out some new toys. He's also a quiet soul - he was calm and curious when someone came to the door, not a peep! And only made a few barks when he was letting us know he was ready to play. At night he was a perfectly behaved snuggle bud, sleeping in bed until it was time to get up in the morning. Freddy really thrived and was such a loving boy outside of the extra noise and action in the shelter environment."My adoption fee covers the cost of my neuter, microchip, and all my vaccinations, including rabies. Please come and meet me by completing an adoption interest form at HSNB.org. Hope to meet you real soon! Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 61 Age: 2yrs 10mths 0wks
