Story
* My adoption fee will be waived February 13-15 * Meet Alia! This striking lil&#8217: lady is both a great leash-walking and office buddy. She can be worried when meeting new people, so would like her social circle to be kept small as she&#8217:s adjusting to a new home. Once she&#8217:s warmed up, Alia has shown herself to be a loving and loyal companion. Alia is sensitive when it comes to veterinary visits and close handling (she says no thank you to being picked up without asking her first, please!), so she&#8217:ll need a gentle, patient hand and an owner that can be an advocate for her. Alia could potentially go to a home with older children that can follow her management plan and practice petting consent. In her previous home, Alia was able to regularly share space with another dog, but she generally prefers not to stop and say hi to dogs on leash. It&#8217:s possible she may be able to go home with a well-matched dog with a slow intro, but she may also prefer to be an only pup. She has no history living with cats, so full separation and a slow intro will be the best way to help her be successful! Alia may start off a little cautious, but give her time and a cozy spot to settle in, and you&#8217:ll see her personality shine!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 8 yrs 1 mo
Centerville, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
* My adoption fee will be waived February 13-15 * Indigo is currently in foster care &#8211: if you are interested in meeting Indigo please fill out this inquiry form and a member of our foster team will be in touch to coordinate a meet up! Meet Indigo, a sweet, slightly shy senior pittie who enjoys naps, calm companionship, and being close to her people. She&#8217:s an easygoing, affectionate dog who would do best in a quiet, low-key home. Indigo has a few manageable medical needs and will need a future knee surgery, but she&#8217:s otherwise a gentle, content companion. 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. If you&#8217:re searching for a relaxed, loving dog who&#8217:s happy to take life at a slower pace, Indigo may be the perfect fit.

CHUCKY

Doberman Pinscher

Male, 4 yrs 3 mos
Centerville, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
* My adoption fee will be waived February 13-15 * Meet Chucky! He&#8217:s a smart, active, silly guy who loves training and sniffy walks. Chucky is a foodie, and will happily settle down with a long-lasting chew after a nice walk or game of fetch. He walks great on leash with a harness, and enjoys zooming around our yards with his dog or human friends. Chucky has had mixed experiences with other dogs, and generally does well during supervised play but should ideally be the only dog in the home. If you&#8217:re excited about positive reinforcement training, have a good sense of humor, and don&#8217:t mind a bark that sounds *exactly* like a seal, Chucky could be the dog for you!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 1 yr 6 mos
Centerville, MA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
* My adoption fee will be waived February 13-15* Millie is a smushy young pittie mix looking for her new home! This sweet kiddo likes to hit the trails to explore and sniff around, and loves to wrap it all up with some snacks and couch time with her people. Millie can be a bit reserved at first when making new friends, but warms up quickly and is looking for a patient family who can give an adopted dog some time to decompress in the new home. Millie has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once she feels secure, she&#8217:ll reward you with endless love and loyalty!

Story
Meet Ricky! This low-key kiddo enjoys lounging arouund the home with his people. Ricky lived in a bubble in his previous home - he wasn`t meeting a lot of new people or animals - and can be pretty worried when navigating new environments or meeting strangers as a result. Once he`s warmed up, though, Ricky loves hanging out with his human friends for some low-key relaxation time (Ricky`s a couch potato, and loves nothing more than a good nap and a nice window view to look at!). He`s not ready for petting from people quite yet, but when he`s feeling calm and safe, Ricky likes to show his affection by sitting next to you and sniffing or licking your hand.Ricky has been a bit reserved meeting other mellow dogs at the shelter, but we think he could do ok with a canine sibling that is comfortable with a more calm friend. Ricky may start off a little cautious, but give him time and a cozy spot to settle in and you`ll see his sweet personality shine!
