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. Luca loves to cuddle and enjoys his walks, though he may bark when he sees other dogs. with a toddler now getting much of our attention, we are hoping to find Luca a new home with someone who can give him the time, love, and affection he truly deserves.

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, 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.

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.
