Story

Hi. Lizzy is a 5 year old girl who is a love bug. She is a little shy with new people but warms up quickly especially to a soft voice and attention and pets. She's originally from Maine. She was in a fenced in yard but has walking experience on a leash. She's very lovable with her person or family. We moved to MA and I am having trouble finding an apartment with her. Although it kills me to re home, I would do it for the right home. She is not jumpy or hyper active but also wouldn't mind a fenced in yard to run.

Story

Meet Iris! 🌸Hii! This pretty girl's name is Iris, and she is looking for her perfect forever home.Iris is the absolute sweetest girl. She is fully potty trained and will only bark to let you know she needs to go outside. She is also beautifully crate trained and will happily sleep soundly in her crate the entire night.Iris is purely motivated by affection! She loves belly rubs so much that she gives the softest, cutest little love-nibbles when she's happy.Because she is a typical enthusiastic Husky, she still jumps up to greet you when she's excited. We are working on this training, but because of her size and bouncy energy, she would do best in a home without very young children.She comes with a complete starter pack to make her transition easy:Large wire crateCurrent food & fav treatsToysFlea collar + preventative medicationsVet & recent vaccine recordsgrooming gearseatbelt+car coverIris would do amazing in an active home, big yard and secure 5Ft+ fencing with lots of walks

Female, Adult

New Bedford, MA

Size

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rylie is a 3 year old female and about 60 lbs.Crate trained when unsupervised.She loves people and has been around children her whole life. Due to her size and energy level, a home without small kids would be best. She is not good with cats. She has never hurt one, but she does chase them relentlessly. She would do well with another dog given the appropriate introductions. She is not aggressive, but does get fearful and anxious with new dogs until she gets comfortable with them. She knows basic commands and loves cuddling on the couch just as much as hiking and swimming. We are not looking for a fee, just an amazing home with a patient person willing to help her adjust.

Story

Meet Daisy! She was originally dumped on Christmas day here in town but despite that she is still full of love and does not let that effect her in any way. She does not seem to favor other dogs and has the drive to chase and prey on cats so no other animals for this girl. She would love all the attention on her anyways and we think is deserving of that given her story. She loves to play ball and really just wants to be with somebody in a home. Come meet her!!
