Story

We adopted Koga when he was around 7 months old from a shelter. He is fearful of people he doesn't know, but once he knows you he is very sweet. He is now 9 years old and healthy other than his anxiety issues. His anxiety is something we have worked on non stop, however with our oldest child becoming a toddler his anxiety has started to affect other pets and our children. He needs a home with no children and no other pets. He also needs someone with patience as it takes him some time to get used to new people. His favorite thing to do is play fetch with a ball. He also loves neck and chest rubs.

Agatha loves to watch tv shows with animals such as animal planet or National Geographic, Mufasa and more. Agatha deserves a home and a loving family or someone with a large area to run and play. Agatha needs someone who has time to train and work with her so she can thrive and live her best life.

Sadie Mae

Mutt

Female, Adult

Lunenburg, MA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sadie Mae was a rescue five years ago. Our life circumstances and situation has changed, and it has been difficult for her. She no longer gets along with our other two dogs, and everyone’s quality of life has diminished as a result. Sadie is 5 years old. She is a mixed breed pup, but mostly Chihuahua and Australian Cattle Dog. She is spayed and up to date on all vaccines. Sadie has some allergies, which require a daily medication and a very minor special preparation of her food (her kibbles need to be kept on the freezer). She has additional as-needed skin sprays as well for flare ups. We would love for Sadie to be adopted by someone who owns their home, either a single woman, or a woman with older children. No apartments, no single men, and no families with young children. Sadie is overall good with kids, but can get overwhelmed easily. Sadie thinks she’s the size of standard Chihuahua. She’ll sit on your lap and lick you to death! She’ll want to sleep in your bed to be close.
