Story
Oreo is a calm friendly dog who occasionally gets carried away with the zoomies. She is looking for a home without young children as she is deaf and will need extra time and respect of boundaries while she settles in. Oreo gets along well with people and the other dogs she has met, but there is always the risk of a startle reaction because she cannot hear what is going on around her. OTHER PETS: Oreo was calm while meeting other dogs. [Likely (With proper introduction)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone who has experience with larger breeds, deaf dogs, or both would best be able to care for Oreo.[Some Experience] KIDS: 15+ (must meet first)ACTIVITY LEVEL: While Oreo is calm, she does have a good amount of energy. Walks, standard or long, should be part of her daily routine; while she might also enjoy more intense exercise like hiking, running, agility or lure coursing.[Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: Oreo is deaf and has a head tilt; she would benefit from having a good lifelong relationship with her veteraniarian.[Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training can only benefit Oreo; it will also help her bond with her new family and learn how to safely participate in recreational activities.[Moderate] GROOMING:[Minimal]September 26, 2023, 5:37 pm

American Pit Bull Terrier

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Shadow is looking for a place where the water bowl is full and the tummy rubs are plentiful. He has a big personality and would benefit from regular physical activity for both health reasons and to get out some of his plentiful energy. OTHER PETS: Shadow did fine meeting other dogs but he has a `bull in a china shop` sort of personality and would do best living as an only dog or with a submissive female dog. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Shadow would do best with someone who is confident and comfortable handling larger dogs.[Some Experience] KIDS: While shadow is friendly, he is a lot of dog and pulls a lot when walking on leash.[15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Shadow needs to get his steps in![Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: Shadow has been treated for ear infections since arrival; while he continues to improve, it is possible that this is a chronic condition that will need lifelong care.[Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: We recommend going through at least a basic training course that utilizes positive reinforcement training to help Shadow be the best dog he can be. Training will also help strengthen the bond between Shadow and whomever is taking him to training.[Moderate] GROOMING:[Minimal] September 26, 2023, 5:37 pm

Story
Spotty came to TJO as a stray and wiggled his way into staff's hearts quickly. We don't know about his past but his future, with the right owner, is going to be spectacular.OTHER PETS: Spotty is a friendly dog who would likely get along with other dogs. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Spotty will need positive structure to be the best dog he can be, an owner with some previous experience would best be able to meet his needs.[Some Experience] KIDS: Spotty is friendly but has a lot of energy, smaller children could be accidently hurt if he bangs into them or jumps on them while he is still learning (with positive reinforcement training) how to behave.[Dog Savvy 10+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Spotty has a lot of energy and will need daily walks if not a more intensive form of physical exertion like jogging, hiking, agility, etcetra, to help keep him out of mischief. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED:We do not believe Spotty has had any training. A basic obedience course utilizing positive behavior training is recommended - further training would only benefit Spotty as well as helping increase the bond between his new owner and himself.[Moderate] GROOMING:[Minimal] September 26, 2023, 5:37 pm

KONA

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, adult
Springfield, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Kona came to us as a stray, so we do not know what sorts of adventures she has been on. She is a friendly dog, but she is also a very scared dog. Kona relaxes once she realizes she is safe, and because of that we would like potential adopters to be aware that our observations are of `Scared Kona` and that once she settles into her new home her behavior may be different.OTHER PETS: Kona should meet any other dogs she would be living with, she is initially fearful but relaxes when the other dog displays playful/social cues. [Case-By-Case] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Kona would do best with an owner that has had previous dog experience and is able to make her feel safe and secure at home.[Some Experience] KIDS: Due to Kona's high level of fear, she would do best in an adults only home. [Adults Only]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Kona has a good level of energy, daily walks would be ideal for her; as she settles in and feels safer she may reveal an even higher level of energy - which may necessitate more intense physical stimulation.[Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Kona would do best with some positive reinforcement training to help her bond with her new owner and ensure appropriate behavior.[Minimal] GROOMING:[Minimal]September 26, 2023, 5:37 pm

Marco

Boston Terrier Miniature Pinscher

Male, young
Springfield, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter,
Story
Marco is a wonderful and beautiful asset to any family. He’s kind, loving, enjoys affection and attention, and loves outdoors, as well as in. Very kid, friendly non-violent. Unfortunately, we’re not experienced in training dogs, so he still occasionally uses the bathroom inside the house, if not walked consistently. He also needs a leash while being walked. He’s very happy, healthy, athletic, and well taken care of. We’re moving soon, so unfortunately, he cannot come along. His birthday is February 19 and he was born 2019.

Size

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Neesy is about 6 years old. She is very good with adults and children. She likes to play with her toys during the day and snuggle at night. She's a sweet, gentle girl who is fully house trained. She is up to date on all her shots and vet visits (paperwork confirmation can be provided). She prefers to be the dominant dog so a single pet family will work best for her. She does not shed a lot either.
