Story
Meet Hulk! Hulk is a fun-loving, playful boy with a big personality and an even bigger smile. He absolutely loves being outside—whether it’s exploring the yard, playing fetch, or heading out for a walk. Food is one of his greatest motivators, and walks are one of his favorite adventures, though fair warning: Hulk is a strong and enthusiastic guy who’s very excited about where he’s going! This happy boy greets everyone he meets with a wagging tail, a joyful grin, and often a toy in his mouth, ready to invite you into a game of fetch. Hulk thrives on human attention and would love a home where he can soak up all the love for himself. He prefers to be the only dog in the home and likes to keep his food to himself, so a single-dog household would be his ideal match. He would do well in a home with teens and up. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s full of energy, affection, and personality, Hulk is ready to be your one-and-only best friend. Ready to Adopt?

Story
Meet Remy! This six-month-old long-haired Chihuahua is a playful, silly little guy with a big personality. Remy is friendly and social, gets along well with other small dogs, and has lived with children ages 4 and up. He absolutely loves to play and is always ready for his next adventure or game. Because he’s still a puppy, Remy is continuing to work on his house training and will benefit from an adopter who’s patient and consistent as he learns. He can be briefly shy when meeting new people, but that hesitation melts away quickly—once he’s comfortable, he wants to play, play, play! We do not have any history of how Remy does with cats. Remy would thrive with an active family who can keep up with his go-go-go lifestyle. If you’re looking for a fun, energetic little companion who will keep you laughing and moving, Remy might be the perfect match! Ready to Adopt?

Story
Meet Bruce, a 2-year-old Foxhound mix who is truly as handsome as he is lovable. He came to us from our friends at Northampton Animal Control with glowing reviews for his charming personality, and he has lived up to every one of them. Bruce greets each day—and every dog and person he meets—with a big, happy tail wag and a bright, joyful spirit. Bruce loves to play fetch, enjoys a good snuggle, and has a wonderfully sweet and gentle nature. He’s quiet, smart, and an all-around easy companion who seems to fit in wherever he goes. His affectionate personality and friendly demeanor make him a joy to spend time with. Bruce does have significant skin allergies that will require lifelong treatment and preventative care to keep him comfortable and healthy, so a vet reference is required for his adoption. We do not have any history of Bruce living with cats or children. If you’re ready to provide ongoing medical care and are looking for a loyal, loving best friend, Bruce may be your perfect match.

Story
Bella was adopted from a shelter. We have had Bella for about a year and a half. She is about 3yrs old. She lived with dogs when she was being fostered. She will bark at dogs on walks but is able to be walked if you give her treats. She knows her commands. House and crate trained. Loves to cuddle on the couch or in bed. Gets silly zoomies. Gives kisses. She will eat non food things if they smell like food or had food in them ( such as eating the bag the food is in ). You must keep things safely away from her. She is wonderful with my husband and me and other adults but not comfortable around our children. She does not enjoy being touched by children. She has bitten (nipped as there were no injuries) my youngest child twice in the face when she tried to kiss her. She had growled at my oldest child once when she pet her. She needs a home where she is the only dog and where she will not be around children. She is so sweet and loving but just isn't comfortable with kids.

Story
OTHER PETS: Neil was eager to greet other dogs and was comfortable going off and doing his own thing as well. Though he didn't seem interested in playing, he would likely do well with another social dog in the home that will allow him to have his own space when he wants/needs it. [Likely (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Neil is currently very grabby with hands, and will likely need a specific behavior management plan using positive reinforcement and counterconditioning, and not punishment. He has not shown any signs of resource guarding while at TJO, but he's fixated on hands. He would do best with someone that has experience and current knowledge of positive reinforcement training, but could do well with someone that has owned dogs before and is willing to learn as well. [Experienced]KIDS: Because of how mouthy he can be, Neil would do best with older kids that can understand how to interact with him and when to let him have his own space. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: While Neil doesn't exhibit a high energy level here at TJO, this could change in a home environment as he grows more comfortable. He would likely do best with various forms of mental enrichment to keep his body calm and his mind engaged. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: Neil arrived at TJO severely underweight, and is currently still working on reaching his ideal weight with a strict re-feeding diet. Otherwise, he seems to be in good health currently and will likely do well with routine vet appointments down the line. [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Neil has a habit of trying to grab people's hands with his mouth. He will likely need a specific management plan based on positive reinforcement as he continues to adjust to his environment and figures out how to politely interact with people. As he continues on his positive training journey, he will work best with someone that can be dedicated to helping him understand better ways to seek interaction, and can work with and understand positive reinforcement training methods. [Intense]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]January 12, 2026, 5:05 pm
