Story
Nala is a very sweet dog! We rescued her from a shelter 1.5 years ago. She loves long walks and playing with any soft squeaky toy she can find. Nala loves mealtime but displays food aggression when other animals are present. For this reason Nala will need to be placed in a home where there are no other pets. She will need someone who is experienced with dogs who have a past history of fear induced aggression. She does have anxiety and is very wary of men. A female owner or a couple who will show her the patience that she needs is preferable. We avoid dog parks because she does not do well with smaller breeds. She is OK with some other bigger breeds but always use caution. Nala will thrive in an environment where there are no children and no other pets in the house. Nala would benefit greatly with someone to work on her training, also!

Story
We are looking to rehome Lucy to a single person, preferably an experienced dog owner (or previous owner). She is a 3-year old Labradoodle, originally from a breeder in NH. We got her at 8 weeks and have spent a lot of time training her. She is very smart, is energetic and loves to play. She’s very athletic and will jump in the air to catch balls. She can also play catch and bring the ball back. She is shy, timid, and very good with other dogs (she’s cautious at first, but warms up). Although she’s very good with dogs, she’s not good with multiple people in the house. We have to rehome her since she’s getting inconsistent training/messages from our kids, and because she’s nervous, she’s lunged at the kids to give the message of “stay away.” This doesn’t work for our family. She needs a consistent message, firm direction from her new owner, and even additional training to build confidence (agility).

Story
Hi! I'm Tootie, a 1.5-year-old female hound mix. I'm about 43 pounds and am up to date on all my vaccinations. I am playful and affectionate. I love giving kisses to everyone I meet! I'm great with dogs and love going to the dog park and daycare. I'd love to have another dog to play with me in my new house, but would be fine alone as long as you're around to play with me. My previous family loved me very much, but unfortunately I didn't get along well with their kitten. As a hound, I'm very prey-driven and like to chase cats and small animals. They're heartbroken to see me go but know I deserve a home where I can be my happy-go-lucky self! I hope it won't be long before I find my forever family. I'm available through Kitty Connection in Medford.

Story
My name is Kronos and I am a 2 1/2 year-old black nose/mountain Curr male. I’m a very friendly and happy-go-lucky guy when I’m comfortable in my surroundings. I have a great time playing with other dogs in the doggie park. I am a lovable and affectionate dog to my people and protective of them as well. I love their love and affection, I love going out on walks and being involved in outside activities. I’m a little overweight, so I need to get a lot more outside activity into my schedule. My dad just doesn’t have the time anymore to give me the activity and time that I need. I love to go on car rides because I am timid, meeting new people I am best with a dog experienced individual. I am available through Kitty Connection in Medford.

Major

American Staffordshire Terrier Husky

Male, Young
Medford, MA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Major is a handsome, 19 month old Pitbull mix. We adopted him at 13 weeks old. Major loves people and has never shown any aggression. He is a 'Velcro' dog, who loves being with his people. Needs regular exercise - two 20 - 30 min walks a day and a space to run. He had surgery in Oct to treat bilateral elbow dysplasia. The surgery was a success and he will have no restrictions moving forward. He needs a dog owner that is comfortable with high energy dogs. He is curious and loving. We are rehoming because he is just too much around our young grandchildren. He would do well with older children. He is highly trainable and will do anything for a treat! He loves chewing on bones. He knows several commands, sit, stay, down, wait, leave it, drop it, get in your bed, etc. Despite his energy during the day, by 6pm he is asleep for the night, we have to wake him up to have him come up to our bedroom. He is house trained and crate trained.

Pointer

Story
Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: Yes, with proper introsGood with cats: NoGood with kids: Kids 16 +Crate trained: YesHouse trained: YesLilac is a sweet, lazy girl who is looking for a quiet home where she can play some fetch and then curl up in the dog bed and take a nap (her two favorite things). Lilac is wonderful with other dogs when properly introduced, and she loves to play. She would love a fenced yard to romp in. She can be leash reactive to new dogs, and though she has improved with training, this will always be something she needs to work on. For this reason, proper intros are a must with her.  She is also ecollar trained. so her perfect home would continue this training with her. She excels with structure and routine.Where Lilac still struggles greatly is with meeting new people in the home. Outside the home, and even a the vet, she is generally fine. When people that she does not know very very well come into the home, Lilac should be crated, leashed, or muzzled. She needs to be slowly introduced to new people, but once she gets to know you very very well, she's all in and is the kissiest, snuggliest girl.  She is even very sweet to pretty much everyone while muzzled, so that's an easy fix to keep her safe.  When people she does not know come into the home, she can get vocal,  but when introduced while muzzled she does fine.  Because of her reactivity to new people, a single family home is the best fit for her. She would not do well in an apartment. Lilac has had a long road, and while she has come a long way, she is very much still a work in progress. With the right family she will do just fine.Lilac's issues have happened in the past when her intros to new people coming into the home were not controlled.  So I can't emphasize enough that she needs to take it slow with new people :) But she will reward you for sure once you get to know her.Please Note: All dogs are posted until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website at http://www.lasthopek9.org/ Questions?
