American Pit Bull Terrier

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Moose! This sweet, 6 year old pup is a shy guy when it comes to navigating new environments, so he’s hoping to go to a lower traffic home so that he can adjust and build confidence at his own pace. Once he’s warmed up, Moose loves to show off his silly side, be it playing with toys or snuggling up with his people! Moose has been worried when interacting with dogs in our care, so while he might be able to go home with a mellow dog companion who can respect his boundaries, he also might also like to be your one and only! Moose has no history of living with cats, but could do well with slow intros and complete separation to start.

JEFFERSON

Dachshund

Male, 12 yrs 3 mos
Centerville, MA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Jefferson! This sensitive guy came to us from a home with a few other dachshunds, and and he lived a bit of a sheltered life before coming into our care. New people, environments, and other dogs can be scary for him initially, so he`s looking for an adopter in a lower-traffic environment who is ready to meet him where he`s at and let him set the pace as he settles in. Jefferson would also benefit from getting started on a weight loss plan to ensure he is comfortable and healthy long-term! Jefferson could live with another mellow dog, potentially cats, and children who have great shy dog skills!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 3 yrs
Centerville, MA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Introducing Blueberry! This handsome hunk is quite stressed in the shelter, but he enjoys spending time outdoors and will make a wonderful adventure buddy once he`s had some time to settle in and relax. Blueberry is playful and smart, and will likely do best in a home where his family can help to keep his brain and body active. He`s got some manners to work on, but is a fast learner who is sure to shine with some structure added to his day along with a gentle approach to training!

DAKOTA

Jack Russell Terrier Catahoula Leopard Dog

Male, 11 yrs 5 mos
Centerville, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Dakota! This handsome, scruffy guy is a master of sniffy walks, and would make a good buddy for anyone who likes to explore the great outdoors. He`s on the shyer side of life, and will probably do best in a lower-traffic home without a lot of people coming and going--once he`s warmed up to his people, he`s a silly and very sweet guy, but Dakota often needs time to feel comfortable with new people petting him, so he`d love an adopter who can help be his advocate while he`s out in the world!Dakota briefly lived with a cat in his previous home, and may be able to live with a cat with separation to start. He doesn`t have experience living with another dog, but could potentially go home with a well-matched, mellow dog companion. Dakota doesn`t like sharing his food, so adopters should be ready to manage their environment to help him out when around other animals in the home!Dakota has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once he feels secure, he`ll reward you with endless love and loyalty!

INDIGO

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 8 yrs 3 mos
Centerville, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
If you are looking for the ultimate snuggle-bug, then look no further than Indigo! This 8 year old pittie is the perfect companion for someone looking for a calm, low-key, and affectionate pup. She can sometimes be worried when navigating new or busy environments, so Indigo would love to go home to adopters in a quieter spot, so she can relax and nap to her heart`s content! She could live with a respectful dog who understands her shy tendencies, would do best in a cat-free home, and is looking for humans who can practice calm, considerate interactions.Indigo is currently recovering from a surgery to repair her CCL (similar to an ACL tear in humans). As a result, she`s keeping it low-key as she heals up, including limited activity and not going up and down stairs, and she`s currently on medication to help manage her arthritis. Staff is happy to tell you more about her treatment and management plan!If you`re searching for a relaxed, loving dog who`s happy to take life at a slower pace, Indigo may be the perfect fit.

ARTHUR

Husky

Male, 3 yrs 1 mo
Centerville, MA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Arthur, a 3 year old Husky with a heart full of potential. We have limited history on him, but know that he was living in a bubble, meaning he was not meeting strangers or other dogs, and is very fearful as a result--Arthur can be shy and uncertain of the world around him, but with patience and gentle guidance, he is learning that the world is not so scary. As Arthur has an abnormal background, he is looking for an adopter who can offer him a calm, patient environment where he can continue to grow and learn. He will need someone who`s ready to teach him all the basics, such as housebreaking, walking on a leash, and general manners, using positive reinforcement training (Arthur loves snacks and is very smart, so he`s a great training buddy!). As Arthur is worried and has a lot he`s working on, he says no thank you to living with other pets for now, please!
