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. June loves people and pets alike. He is highly energetic and generally a very happy 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.

Story
Meet Milo 💛 Milo is a 2-year-old, 64-lb Bernadoodle who’s as sweet and friendly as they come. He came to us as a surrender from a home where he didn’t get the exercise and playtime he needed — but in just a week with his foster family, he’s already blossoming. Milo loves playing in the fenced yard, going for walks, and hanging out with other dogs. He’s awesome with people, gentle and affectionate, and his recent health check was perfect. He’s great in the car and quickly bonds with his person — the kind of loyal companion who’ll follow you anywhere. He can be a little timid when he first meets new people, but there isn’t a single bad bone in his body. He’s just learning what it means to be a happy young dog — and he’s doing beautifully. 💫 Add another furry brother or sister? Even better — Milo loves dogs!

Story
Owston is the sweetest boy, a 4yo male Shiba with a heart of gold. He is a goofy, affectionate, incredibly smart dog. He absolutely loves people-- snuggling, walking, playing, and making you laugh. He unfortunately is not getting along with my other dog any longer and is looking for a home where he can be the only pet. Owston was my husband's dog before we met. He brought him out of a dark depression after his first bout with cancer. Unfortunately, my husband's cancer relapsed and he passed away in 2024. He was definitely Owston's *person*, and the loss combined with the many changes to Owston's routine worsened his reactive behaviors toward other dogs, that we'd worked so hard to train away. It breaks my heart to be separated from him, but I believe Owston will truly flourish as someone's only pet. I would love to be able to receive occasional updates or photos-- he will always be my and my husband's baby boy. I only want what is best for him.
