Story
Kiki is a sweet, energetic American Bully who has so much personality and love to give. She loves attention, treats, playing, and spending time with the people she trusts. Once she gets comfortable with you, she is very loving and affectionate. Kiki would do best with an experienced and patient owner who has the time to give her structure, consistency, exercise, and continued training. She can be reactive and overly excited around unfamiliar people, so she needs someone who understands strong dogs and is willing to continue working on her socialization, leash manners, and confidence. I’m looking to rehome Kiki because I can no longer give her the amount of time and attention she deserves. This is a difficult decision, and my biggest priority is finding her a safe, loving, permanent home where she can thrive. I want to be completely transparent about her needs so I can find the right person for her. She has a lot of potential and would benefit greatly from someone who is committed to

Story
Echo is a special pup. She is a little over two years old, loving, independent and very food and toy driven. When Echo is comfortable with someone; she loves hugs, karaoke (she can sing and howl all day long), and long runs. I got Echo from a family member who needed a home for her asap due to being rejected by her parents; she came home with me at six weeks old. She is reactive and not well leash trained. She is house trained and obedience trained, responds to some hand signals and was trained mostly in German and English. Echo needs a consistent and patient household with someone experienced in reactivity that will love her in the long term and give her a strong forever home.

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet our resident big boy Jason! His favorite things are sniffy walks, zooming around in a yard, his people, lounging in a comfy bed, and treats. Jason loves to play and is full of energy, and would make a great companion for a hiker, runner, or just an admirer of the great outdoors. While he has lived with kids in his previous home, he is a big rowdy guy, so kids on the older or sturdier side could be a good fit. Jason enjoys playing and spending time with other dogs, but we think he would be most successful as the only dog in the home - but once he is settled he could have friends with a well managed introduction!Jason has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once they feel secure, theyll reward you with endless love and loyalty!

WILLOW

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 9 mos
Methuen, MA
Size

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Willow! This bouncy girl loves playing with her toys and getting pets from her people. Willow can be exuberant, and has been working on her manners, so her adopters should be excited to continue working with her using positive reinforcement. Any children in the home should be able to assist with her training. Willow has been conflicted about meeting other dogs here at the shelter, so would likely do best as an only dog to start.

Story
Hi my name is Kairo with a K! I love running around playing with my dog friends. I am still young and learning so I could do well with an experienced, active owner who can teach me better manners. It may take me some time to decompress before my next journey so I would also like it if you could take things at my own pace. Once I’m comfortable I would love to be your new running buddy!
