Story
Marlo is 5 years old. Marlo is such a loving dog with nothing but kindness in his heart. he loves to cuddle, he loves to play, he loves to run around, he loves attention, he also loves giving attention. Marlo is a great & friendly dog, i’ve had him around friends, family, kids & he was always so great with them. Due to his last home, he had gotten into an altercation with another dog, so it’s best if he is the only dog in the house. given the circumstances, marlo is a great dog for me but i can’t keep him anymore. i work almost 12 hour shifts every single day & work almost 45 minutes away. So during the day he is left in the cage & no one is around to take him out for walks in the park & i feel horrible about it. i can’t give him the attention that he once had & i can see it in his face that it’s making him really sad. he needs a home where he has attention, can have a routine, and can be loved.

WOW! Look at sweet Missy! This sweet dog has been through the ringer but she has never let that phase her. Missy is the most sweetest pup around town! She is a 3 year old, female, lab/beagle mix that was rescued from the streets of Texas after she was dumped. Missy did ween her litter of puppies before she was rescued, which is why you will noticed her enlarged teats which will take a few weeks to go back to normal. So don't be alarmed! Missy is a lover of everything, a gentle soul. She gets along well with dogs of all sizes, everyone she meets and even children. She loves spending her time running in the yard and lounging in the sun. This sweet girl is just looking for her forever home that will never give up on her! Interesting in adopting the sweetest pup?

Story
MEET BRUNO! - Will you be his happily ever after?My adoption fee is waived!Bruno is a dapper, tuxedo clad prince who is looking for his Cinderella family. Let`s talk about his assets: he has great leash walking skills, he is quite the socialite with everyone he meets, and he is a quick study for picking up new skills. Not to mention, his personality and sense of humor are to die for! He makes us laugh with his silly sleeping positions and dramatic stretches. He sleeps through the night like royalty in his foster`s bed, and he loves to sleep in so don`t fear if you aren`t an early riser! OK, so what`s the catch? Well in order to snag this prince you will need to meet some basic criteria: no young kids or small/senior dogs, and you must be committed to positive reinforcement training to work on his manners and potty training. Lost your shoe running down the stairs to the castle? Don`t worry, Bruno will grab that for you, but good luck getting it back! This boy is as mischievous as he is handsome, and he will give you a run for your money! But if you are up for just a little bit of elbow grease in the beginning, we promise it will pay off and he will be your true prince charming.Bruno is looking for a home with teens and/or adults only due to his exuberance. Bruno is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been neutered, microchipped, and seen by our vet team.For more information on Bruno or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.

Meet Piper! She’s a beautiful 4 month old, female, whippet mix. Currently weighing in at 15lbs but will grow. She was rescued from a high kill shelter where her time was running out. She is your typical puppy and just loves playing and running. She will need training so she can learn all of the good habits as she continues to grow. Piper still jumps up with excitement but her current foster is working with her in that. She is ok on leash but will need some help knowing what it is! With any puppy, training is crucial and Piper is a very quick learning! Visit our website and apply today! www.aplaceforace.org
