Story

Meet Mighty Mouse!Mighty Mouse is another pup that's going to need a very special someone that understands how particular, bossy, and sassy chihuahuas can be. Mighty Mouse is about two years old, absolutely gorgeous (as you can see) and also very, very deaf. VERY deaf. This means he can't really hear himself bark so he tends to bark loudly and incessantly when he gets riled up so shared walls/apartment complexes may not be the best environment for this shouty little man. He's a little under 14lbs but what he lacks in size he makes up for with an attitude the size of Texas. He takes a bit to warm up to people but once he does, he definitely plays favorites. He does well with other dogs but not with cats. He's sweet with people (once he likes you) and loves going for walks. He also loves his treats/snacks and likes to bury them and then forget they exist. With the right amount of sweet talking, Mighty Mouse will be your best friend...but you need to be willing to GO SLOW with him. He isn't the kind of dog that you can just swoop down and scoop up right away because he can and will throw hands while screaming vulgarities (probably). If you've had a difficult dog in the past and are used to the attitude and the judgmental side eye, Mighty Mouse might be the guy for you. We're looking for an adult only home (older teenagers should be fine as well) that has the patience and the drive to put in the effort with him...because he is incredible once you melt that icy Fight Club exterior.

Story

Meet Yukon!Are you in the market for a big doofy goofball? Look no further. Yukon is your guy.Yukon is a four year old lab mix and he's a big dude weighing about 70lbs. He likes to act super aloof and serious at first but he's no match for some good old fashioned lovin'. Once you start scratching him all over and rubbing behind his ears, he melts into a puddle of goo and will be your best friend from that moment forward, no takesies backsies. Yukon is a big baby that doesn't understand a lot of things. Wind is scary. Treats are confusing (hi hello what is he supposed to do with these???) Cats are weird. He had two cats cussing him out and he kind of just stood there like "friend???" so dog-friendly cats only, please. He seems to do fine with other dogs and is pretty indifferent to their comings and goings and is much more interested in, like, anything else. We would prefer older kids (10+) just because we don't know if he's ever been around smaller kids or even knows what they are. He's actually remarkably good on a leash for a young lab of his size and he's very, very smart with a whole laundry list of cues under his belt. He's food-motivated and food is the quickest way to his heart. He's a big ol' ham when it comes to getting attention and will melt right onto the floor so just keep doing what you're doing, please and thank you.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application.

Story

Meet Noir!Noir is a lab mix that originally came to us as a tiny pup all the way from Puerto Rico. He's juuuuuust under a year old (will be turning one in early January!) Unfortunately, his adopters' circumstances changed so he came back to us so we could find him the perfect home ðŸ’œ He weighs just over 41lbs and is (mostly) full grown at this point but may continue to fill out.Noir is your typical happy, silly puppy that would fit into pretty much any active home. He loves other dogs and is super playful with them, plus a canine playmate will help him burn off some of that crazy energy that he has! He's also good with cats and did live with them in his previous adopters' home. We would also be comfortable placing him with children because he's such a friendly, happy boy. The only thing we're really looking for is a family that will keep him active because, being a puppy, he's got what feels like endless energy sometimes.He's definitely an extrovert that has no qualms about jumping up on you to say hello as soon as he meets you. He's a well-rounded, well-socialized pup with decent manners and a good foundation for training. He knows his basics (sit, stay, come) and is relatively good on a leash except for when he suddenly gets the zoomies. He's a big ol' attention seeker that's always happy to socialize and hang out with his people.Noir does have some allergies and is prone to dry skin so our vet has recommended keeping fish oil part of his diet and to avoid topical flea/tick prevention and only use oral prevention.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application.

Story

Meet Honey!Honey is ridiculously cute and she knows it.This sweet girl is just about six months old and she's a lab/pyr mix. Right now, she weighs 36lbs but definitely still has time and room to grow and fill out so she'll be a big girl when all is said and done!Honey is your typical bouncy puppy that wants to say hello to everyone she meets and then immediately be best friends. She's a 100% certified silly goose, a purebred good girl, and she loves everyone she meets. She's all about jumping all over you to drown you in kisses, trying to climb into your lap, and being the most excited puppy on the planet. She loves her walkies but does still need some help in the leash manners department because she sort of just zigzags everywhere all at once but she listens to redirection very well. She is HIGHLY motivated by praise and is eager to please. She's also very, very smart and picks up on things quickly so training her should be a breeze if you do it right.Honey loves other dogs but does have A LOT of energy so any potential canine housemates need to be able to keep up with her or, preferably, match her wild child energy. She would be great with kids 8+ but would probably knock over smaller kids because she has no sense of personal space. Honey does NOT do well with cats. She thinks they're toys. Honey would be the perfect companion for an active family looking for an extra daily boost of serotonin. She will make you laugh every single day, shower you in kisses always, and be the perfect snuggle bug when she decides it's time to settle down for a nap.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application.

Maui

Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 8 yrs 2 mos

Fall River, MA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Maui!Maui is a super sweet, super smart senior gal seeking a soft place to land and live out her golden years in luxury ðŸ’œMaui is a nine year old shepherd mix that weighs in at a solid, sturdy 50lbs. Her previous home obviously put a lot of time and effort into her because she's even-tempered, mild-mannered, and incredibly well-trained. She walks like an absolute dream on a leash and will stay right by your side but she can be prone to typical old lady stubbornness and will dig her claws in when she's determined to sniff something out. It's fine, she's earned the right to stop and smell the roses. She can do whatever she wants.She's understandably a little anxious but it hasn't stopped her from being an absolute sweetheart. She likes to show off all of the cues she knows (and she knows A LOT) and she likes duck jerky, tennis balls, and plush toys. Despite her nervousness, she's always willing to engage and socialize with people though she won't be super lovey-dovey right away. She'll give you a few cursory sniffs and then move on to the next thing that interests her. You gotta work for her attention because she's a queen! Maui doesn't care one way or another about cats and would do fine with older kids. She probably wouldn't enjoy the quick movements and loud noises of smaller kids. We haven't tested her with other dogs just yet but another dog that matches her speed (ranges from dilly-dally to brisk walk) and temperament would probably be fine. She hasn't shown a single sign of aggression or resource guarding and is, overall, a very, very good girl.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application.

Story

Meet Ruby!Ruby is the kind of girl that you're going to have to work for. You're going to have to put in the time and effort for her affections. You're going to have to prove yourself because Ruby knows exactly what she deserves which is nothing less than absolutely everything. We love a girl who knows her own worth! Ruby is a four year old Doberman mix weighing just over 50lbs. She's a high energy girl that's going to need A LOT of exercise to keep her happy and healthy. She loves toys, especially balls and plushies, and is pretty good on a leash except for when she gets excited and then all bets are off. Strangers are tough for her and multiple meets to get her comfortable with you is going to be a MUST but once Ruby likes you? No one will ever love you better. Ruby does well with other dogs and would do best with a confident, outgoing pup that can match her energy levels but also knows how to disengage when she's had enough. She's very nonconfrontational and has shown that she'll choose to walk away over any other kind of reaction. She would do well with dog-friendly cats, but she's been pretty neutral in the face of a cat hissing/swatting at her. An adult only home with minimal strangers coming/going would be best to keep her stress levels to a minimum. Basically, Ruby is a gorgeous, strikingly smart, incredibly loyal girl that will completely devote herself to the people she loves.
