Story

Maggie is a 10-year-old spayed female Chinese Shar Pei mix, about 50 lbs, living with her owner in Medford, MA. She is a calm, low-energy “professional couch potato” who gets along well with dogs but has a high prey drive and is not cat-tested. Maggie is wary of strangers, especially men with beards, and can be defensive in the home, so she needs a mature, quiet household with few visitors and respected boundaries. She is fully housetrained, can stay alone for a standard workday, but has separation anxiety and is not crate trained. Maggie is older, arthritic, and takes daily medication plus an estrogen pill to prevent bedwetting. She knows several commands and enjoys slow walks, sniffing, and relaxing on the stoop. Wary of homes with children.

Story

Luca is an 8-year-old, sweet and loving dog who has been part of our family since we adopted him at 8 months old from North Carolina. He is house-trained, healthy with no medical issues, and makes a wonderful companion as well as a great watchdog. Luca loves to cuddle, enjoys going for walks, and while he may bark when he sees other dogs, he is a loyal and affectionate boy.As our family has grown, we have come to the difficult realization that we are no longer able to give Luca the time, attention, and care he deserves. This has been an incredibly hard decision, but we want to find him a loving home where he can thrive and receive the affection he has always given us.We are committed to finding Luca the right family. If we are unable to find an adopter, we may ultimately have no choice but to surrender him to a rescue or shelter, which we hope to avoid. Our greatest wish is to see Luca placed in a safe, caring home where he can continue to be the wonderful companion he has always been.

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 loves being part of the family.She is house trained, leash trained, and has basic manners. She enjoys activity but is also happy to settle down and relax. She would love a home where she can spend plenty of time with her people.

She does best with calm guidance, consistency, and routine.She would do best as the only pet, as other animals can be overwhelming. She loves people and would do well with older children, but small children would not be the best fit.Harley is an affectionate, loyal companion with plenty of personality who is always ready for either a couch cuddle or an adventure.

Milo

Rat Terrier Chihuahua

Male, 6 yrs

Medford, MA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

My family is heartbroken about finding me a new home. They want me to be happy and have the life I deserve. They rescued me when someone was selling me at a restaurant. Life was great but a baby came and was a toddler when the second baby followed, and I’m having difficult time with it all. They are working with kitty connection to find me the home I deserve. I am a sweet, loyal 6-year-old mixed breed looking for a calm, loving home where I can truly shine. If you’ve been searching for a devoted companion who loves to cuddle just as much as he enjoys a good game of fetch, I might be your guy. Milo at a glance: • Age: 6 (Birthday: June 14th) • Weight: ~20 lbs • Breed Mix: Rat terrier/chihuahua mix • Neutered: Yes • Vaccines: Up to date • Health: Good overall health • Diet: Fresh Pet, twice daily • Shedding: Minimal • House Trained: Yes Personality: I am an incredibly loving and affectionate — a true velcro dog who wants to be close to my person, especially at night. I have a wonderful medium energy level: happy to play fetch and explore, but equally content to curl up and snooze in a sunny spot. • Loves to snuggle and be near his human • Enjoys fetch and playtime • Listens well and knows “sit” (and mealtime routines!) • Walks well on harness • Is friendly with visitors after the initial hello bark • Can be left home during the day without issue — and is always happy to greet you when you return I can experience anxiety with loud bangs (like fireworks), but calming chews help me through those moments. Ideal home: I have had a harder time adjusting to life with young children and would do best in a calmer environment. Best fit: • Mature home (no apartments or condos) with no children. • No other pets • Someone who wants a close, devoted companion • A home that can give me the one-on-one attention I thrive on I may bark briefly when people arrive and prefer a quieter living environment. The bottom line: I am a deeply loving, snuggly little guy who just wants his person and a peaceful home where I can relax, play, and be adored. In the right environment, I will be an incredibly loyal and affectionate companion.
