Story
This is Fynn he is a 4 year old male mix. Adopted from cape Ann animal aid and has had severe fear since he was a puppy. Once he is comfortable he is a very very wonderful boy and likes to play and cuddle. He also likes to sleep in. Unfortunately he has never been trained but I truly think with the right training he would flourish. He has a bright personality and I would absolutely love for him to have a real chance. Right now he has very reactive tendencies and I do not want to continue to put him and myself in unsafe situations as I don’t know behavioral training techniques. He’s about 55 pounds and healthy otherwise. If you have any questions feel free to message me.

Story
Chico is a terrific little 10 year old terrier mix. We adopted him as a puppy 10 years ago from the local animal shelter. We have loved him ever since he first came home with us. Unfortunately, we are moving out of state to take care of some elder parents and are not able to take him with us. He is a funny little dog who is happy to lay around all day. He does not need a lot of exercise but gets very excited to go outside when asked. He likes long walks and is good on a leash. He is motivated by food. He is fine with children but does not like to be roughed up. Also fine with other dogs and cats. We think he might be a good companion for an elder adult, he generally likes to be near to us whenever he can be. He likes belly rubs when he can get them. Chico is healthy, he has had a full check up recently and has had all of the usual shots.

He’s an anxious dog that once you can gain his trust he’s very playful and fun. He has a hard time going to the vet and meeting strangers but with someone who can be patient with him he’ll do good.

Story
Meet Weevil! Weevil is a sweet and resilient 4-year-old special-needs pup with a heart full of love and a gentle spirit. Despite facing some health challenges earlier in life, Weevil has come a long way and is currently happy, comfortable, and enjoying life. When Weevil was younger, he experienced a severe parasite infection that was associated with a cough, likely due to parasite migration through his lungs. The good news is that he is not showing any respiratory symptoms now, and his lungs are clear. Because of his breed, Weevil may be predisposed to a condition called a collapsing trachea, where the airway can become compressed and cause coughing. If present, this condition appears to be very mild at this time and does not require treatment. His future family should continue regular veterinary care and discuss his medical history with their veterinarian to ensure he stays healthy and comfortable.Weevil is looking for a patient, understanding home that will appreciate his unique journey and provide him with the love and support he deserves. In return, he`ll offer loyalty, companionship, and plenty of affection. This special little guy has already overcome so much and is ready to find a family to call his own.Want to meet with Weevil?
