Story
A Sweet & Goofy friend.O’Shae’s story is a powerful reminder of how resilient and forgiving dogs can be. On the hardest day of his life, when he was left behind at a crowded shelter, he was terrified but never once unkind. Even frozen with fear, his gentle soul shone throughThe beautiful part? Every time a volunteer stopped to show him kindness—whether a walk, a cuddle, or just a little playtime—he’d loosen up and let his true puppy self peek out. Thanks to those amazing volunteers, O’Shae’s life was saved - just in the nick of time. Now safe and loved, this boy is blossoming into the fun-loving, goofy pup he was always meant to be. He’s a HUGE toy fan (seriously—tennis balls are his jam ), and once he feels comfortable — which doesn’t take long, his silly, playful side lights up the whole yard.O’Shae is looking for a family who will be patient, kind, and ready to cheer him on when he needs them dog friendly - fostered with dogs of all sizescrate trained & housebrokensweet old soul - curious puppy- like medium energy- loves hiking, running, beach, car rides altered, vaccinated & microchipped_________fostered locally in Lynn MA – apply today!!!Applications are on our website- galsbestpal.com *Please note: We're an all-volunteer organization, and incomplete applications cannot be processed.* If you're interested in adopting a GBP rescue PAL, please submit an application through the link below.

Story
Meet Brittany (Yes… like that Brittany — the beautiful girl everyone ends up obsessed with ) Brittany is a gentle, timid girl who is gaining confidence every single day — and she truly is such a special dog!! Quiet, incredibly obedient, and great in her crate, she absolutely craves affection once she feels settled in. She’s looking for a patient adopter and a more chill atmosphere where she can continue to blossom. And true to her name, once Brittany has you… you’re obsessed. Her foster absolutely adores her — and it’s definitely reciprocal. She walks well on a leash, though in busier traffic she may need a little reassurance. She’s shy at first, but once she warms up, she’ll start seeking out attention and love like the beautiful girl she is. Brittany already knows sit and go to crate, is dog-friendly, and happily initiates play with the dogs she lives with. She would enjoy another dog in the home but doesn’t require one, as long as she’s given plenty of exercise and attention. Easygoing and content, Brittany can entertain herself with bones, isn’t very interested in toys yet, and loves sitting in the yard watching the squirrels go by In the right home, Brittany would truly excel at anything you ask of her — and probably steal your heart while she’s at it. She’s ready for a patient, calm home — and a future that’s finally hers. 2-3 yo//35 lbs altered, utd vaccines & microchipped  ready for adoption 2/25 - apply today to be matched Applications on our website – link in bio *Please note: We're an all-volunteer organization, and incomplete applications cannot be processed.* If you're interested in adopting a GBP rescue PAL, please submit an application through the link below.
