Story
UPDATE!!! We recently found out that Miss Dumplin needs to be in house with another dog in order for her to keep thriving,please consider her.  This Sweet girl was found alone in ARK, our rescue partner in ARK took her in, What we know about her is she is very sweet, timid, loves people and is Shy when first meeting you. She is good with other dogs and kids.  I was found hiding under a porch, really really hungry and scared to death, but now I’m ready to find a family to call my own. Ready to open your heart and home to this sweet girl? Dumplin has come such a long way since arriving in MA. This shy, calm, and incredibly sweet girl is ready to find her forever home. Dumplin would do best in a home with another dog to help build her confidence. She doesn’t require much exercise and would be happiest with a fenced-in yard, as she can be fearful of new things. Dumplin is 18 months old, house broken and up to date on vaccinations. Apply to adopt : fromalonetohomerescue.org ##2516249##

Oreo was found in a culvert on a busy hwy in our area with her brother.  We are guessing they were dumped there, now she is waiting for her furever home.  Oreo would love room to run or go on adventures with you. She is great in the crate. Ore wants you to know: I’m good with dogs and kids, which makes me the perfect buddy for playtime, adventures, and snuggles. I can already imagine my forever home… wagging at the door to greet you, joining family walks, and curling up after a long day of fun. She would love to find her person or people! please open your heart and home for this beauty, and apply fromalonetohomerescue.org ##2517802##

  Hi, I’m Cupid! Professional snuggler, chaos coordinator, and treat connoisseur. Smiles, tail wags, and kisses included! I’m crate-trained, leash-savvy, and love every bit of attention you throw my way. I love people and other dogs. Cats and chickens? Meh, I don’t mind them. I live for cuddles, chew toys (the really tough ones, please), and just having fun with my humans. I’m 10 months old, compact medium-sized, and perfect for snuggles and playtime. I need a routine to help me be my best self, and proper training to guide me. I can be a little defiant sometimes. I also play a bit rough with other dogs—I don’t always know my own strength, and I’m still figuring things out with my adolescent brain. My perfect home: A patient person who loves to train, cuddle, and play hard-toy games Someone who’s home most of the time, ready to stick to a routine I’d be happiest as the only dog, so I can focus on training and learning good habits I’m still working on potty training, but I’m doing much better and need someone who can help me be successful (and the crate helps too ) Other facts about me: Neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. If you’ve got love, time, and a couch ready for snuggles, I promise to bring all the joy—and a little mischief—you can handle! Are you ready to make me your best friend?

Story
This is Loki 🐾💙 He’s a big-hearted, goofy, and lovable pup who always keeps us smiling. Loki greets you like you’re the best part of his day (because to him, you are). He loves being outside, snuggling on the couch, and showing off his favorite rope toys. Loki is wonderful with kids, though he doesn’t always realize how strong he is. He loves attention, meeting new people, and being part of the action. He does okay with some dogs, but he would thrive best as the only pet in the home. I’ve done some basic training with him, and with a little more consistency and time, he’ll only continue to shine. Overall, Loki is very healthy, but he does have a few chronic issues—mainly ear infections, anal glands, and seasonal allergies—that will need a bit of ongoing care. Loki is truly a loving companion with so much joy to share, and he deserves a family who can give him the same love and energy he gives every single day. 💙
