Story
Teddie is a 7-year old pitbull mix who is happy to spend his days snuggled on a couch or splayed out on a sunny porch with his people. He is crate trained, knows his basic commands, and will listen to anyone with a treat bag in hand. He will lick your face off if you let him and loves car rides, his morning greenie, and sleeping in as the "little spoon". Unfortunately, Teddie has started snapping at our 1-year old daughter. Teddie has a single bite history and does not do well with other dogs. We would say these issues stem from irritability given a variety of medical ailments (anxiety, skin issues/allergies, a sensitive stomach, and likely joint pain). We love him dearly, but sometimes the boy just wants to be left alone, and we’re not able to control the environment enough to guarantee the safety of our newly mobile daughter. We are dreaming of a child- and dog-free home for Teddie with sunny decks, pillows, and car rides where he can live out his days in peace and comfort.

Story
Casper is a very active and rebel puppy, very high in energy and attitude as most Corgis, we currently live in an Apartment and we've noticed he's not quite happy here, he needs more space and more attention from his human companion, he is loved but we are also realistic and are trying to find what's better for him. He's very cuddly, sweet and sassy. He's been with us for a year now, we've had trouble training him due to lack of time, we both work a lot and Casper also doesn't get along with our child who is 11y old even when they've been living together for so long. We just want Casper to be happy and find a better home for himself, a family who would truly give him the attention he needs and are able to train him correctly. We got him from a Breeder, he is pure bred and his health is up to date, neutered and partially potty trained. He also got his rabies vaccine on January 2nd 2026. He is microchipped and registered with AKC. Adoption Fee is non-negotiable.

Story
I got June from Bee Pawsitive in TX animal rescue when he was 4 months old. He was born on April 02, 2023. June and I moved to Boston and currently live in Medford, MA Unfortunately, due to life circumstances and a family member I need to take care for who has allergies, I am seeking a new home for June. I am going to be relocating to California and am seeking a new home for him. June loves people and pets alike. He is highly energetic and a very happy and friendly dog. He is always excited to go to the park to run and play with other dogs. He is great with children and cats too. His vaccinations are up to date and he is a sweet boy well house trained. He is also crate trained. Preferably looking for someone with a house who would be able to take him on walks/parks. Also, if the house already has one dog, it would be really great for June to have a friend.

Luca is an 8-year-old, sweet and loving boy who has been house-trained since we adopted him at 8 months old from North Carolina. He's healthy with no medical issue and makes a great house guard dog.

Harley

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Adult
Medford, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Harley is a loving, energetic girl who enjoys walks, outdoor time, and relaxing on the couch with her people. She bonds closely with her humans and does best with routine and structure. She is house trained, leash trained, and has basic manners training. She does well on walks and enjoys regular activity. Harley must be the only pet in the home. She becomes overstimulated around other animals and is not suited to living with dogs or cats. While she loves people, she would do best in a home without small children, as she can be excitable and does not always recognize her size. The ideal adopter will be home most of the day (retired, flexible schedule, or working from home) and experienced with dogs. Harley can become over-excited with new people, including jumping or zooming, and benefits from continued work on impulse control and anxiety with clear routines. In the right single-pet home, Harley will be a deeply affectionate and loyal companion.
