Story

Pumbaa is a wonderful dog, he is a 5 year old goldendoodle that we’ve owned since he was 10 weeks old. I recently gave birth to my second child and living in a small apartment. I unfortunately dont have the time or space he deserves and we’ve made the decision to rehome him to a family that is active and enjoys an energetic dog. Pumbaa loves to play and is super loving.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Size

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter,

Story

Leia is so sweet, ridiculously smart, and loves to play and cuddle. She’s about 8-9 months old and fully spayed and vaccinated. We would love to keep her, but constantly encountering new people, smells, and experiences is proving too anxiety-inducing for her. Her ideal home would be with someone who understands or is willing to learn about reactivity and anxiety and who can give her consistency, time, and space (especially a backyard or an easily accessed, stranger free outdoor space).

ANGEL

Cane Corso

Methuen, MA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story

This chonky lady is Angel! Just like her name, she`s as sweet as can be. When Angel gets to know her friends, she`s wiggly and sweet! Angel`s still got her puppy energy, she loves to get zoomies and get silly with her friends. When first getting to know Angel, she can be very worried. She needs a gentle and patient family that can meet her where she`s at- once she feels comfortable you will see the other side of her! Angel absolutely loves her toys, but can be pretty intense with them. She`s going to need a home that can respect her space and understand how to interact with a dog that shows signs of resource guarding. Because of this behavior, Angel is looking for an adult-only home. Angel could possibly live with another dog with proper management around resources.
