Story
This is Luna. She was found stranded and when returned to the owner, they refused to take her back. She has signs of abuse and used mainly for breeding. We are unknown of her age and believe she is a Boston terrier mix. She is the sweetest thing in the world and needs a home. Our landlord will not let us keep her and the only other option is the shelter and she doesn’t need to go there so she needs a good home as soon as possible to give her a better life.

Story
We have a purebred 1 1/2yr old female Boston terrier that needs re-homed. She does not get along with our other dogs and we cannot keep her as a family dog. We have tried everything. It is not fair to her to be caged or shut in a room. She needs a forever home with no other dogs or small children or possibly just a small dog to play with. She is super sweet and potty trained, all shots current and knows basic commands. It breaks our heart but we need to do what is best for her.

Available for Adoption in New England and the Midwest – Leo! Looking for a pup who’s equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle bug? Meet Leo — a 60 lb, 2-year-old husky mix with stunning good looks and a heart of gold! Leo is a happy, playful guy who loves people, adores other dogs, and is great with kids. He’s got that perfect mix of goofy and sweet, and he’s already mastered “come” and “sit” like a champ! (Seriously, he’s one smart cookie!) He’s not the best match for a home with cats though — he finds them a little too much fun to chase! As a young, energetic pup, Leo is always up for some fun — whether it’s a game of fetch, a long walk, or just zooming around the yard. He will benefit from daily exercise to keep him happy, but don’t worry — after playtime, he’s all about those cozy snuggles! Leo is house-trained, neutered, up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and microchipped — aka, ready to move in and steal your heart! If Leo sounds like your kind of guy, apply today at www.luckylabrescue.com — he can’t wait to meet you!

Story
Toppins Mcdublin 😀 is a beautiful fun and funny dog..He is only 11 months old. He got much bigger then originally thought. He loves to play fetch, but i can only do it inside the house. He really needs a great place to run and play, i just dont have the proper space for him.He is neutered. He visits the groomer once a month as well as regular vet visits. I Have a large sleeping crate😴, which he often goes to by himself at night, without saying,"bedtime". He comes with food, treats, toys and extras ready for his new home.He would love some open space to run, 💯 but he also loves to lay right next to you , or sit at your feet for some great rubbing and petting. He has spent the last week with a small shitzue dog here with us and they got along great, so another dog would be good...maybe a little bigger, because Toppins forgets hes a big boy.😁

Crosby is a beautiful sweet lover of a dog. He is gentle, affectionate and incredibly snuggly. We are rehomimg him because we do not have the time to give him the love and attention he deserves here at our hobby farm as foster parents on our busy schedule. Crosby loves to snuggle on the couch, play fetch, and romp around outside. He does well with our kids.
