Cane Corso Neapolitan Mastiff

Male, Young

Watertown, MA

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet our gentle giant, a Cane Corso and Neapolitan Mastiff mix born April 26, 2024. At 150 lbs, he’s a loving cuddlebug who enjoys being close to his people, whether lying by your feet or rolling happily in the grass. He is fully vaccinated, microchipped, house-trained, crate-trained, and knows sit, stay, and heel. He can stay out of the crate alone without causing damage. He’s friendly with strangers, good with cats, and has attended daycare and puppy play camp. While sometimes reactive with dogs at first, he redirects easily and often becomes playful after proper introductions. We love him deeply, but cannot give him the space, time, and exercise he deserves. He would thrive with someone experienced with large guardian breeds who can continue his training and confidence. In return, he’ll offer loyalty, protection, and endless love. He’s ready for a forever family.

Molly

Dachshund

Female, Senior

Brookline, MA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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

Story

Molly is a very loving 8 year old dachshund/chihuahua/terrier mix. She enjoys relaxing at home in the sun or going for long hikes. She is somewhat quirky and is sometimes hesitant about new people, but loves them once she gets to know them. She is very food motivated and knows a few fun tricks such as whisper, crawl, and fist bumping! Molly has a lot of energy for an older dog, but is content lounging in the sun for long periods of time or relaxing on a porch. She is a capable hiker and enjoys long walks. Molly is house trained and is left uncrated at home when alone without issue. She is a bit of an anxious dog and is prone to shaking when nervous. She does not like thunder or fireworks. She does take a daily dose of medication to help her anxiety. That medication plus training has helped her become less reactive. Besides her anxiety, she has no other health conditions. We're looking to rehome her as Molly is not a fan of our new baby and it's causing us and her too much stress.

ANASTASIA

American Pit Bull Terrier Boxer

Female, 1 yr 10 mos

Boston, MA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Anastasia has two sides to her- sweet and cuddly, and rowdy and playful! She can be nervous with new people and will need a slow introduction, but once she warms up, her silly, cuddly personality shines bright. Anastasia loves to play with other rowdy dogs- she has a rough and tumble play style and would love to go home with a dog friend who can keep up with her. She may be slow to warm up, but with a patient, loving family to guide her, she’s ready to find the place where her heart finally feels at home. Anastasia can potentially live with a well-matched dog friend, a dog-savvy cat, and/or older kids who can participate in her trainings.

RAMZI

Mastiff

Male, 3 yrs 4 mos

Boston, MA

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Ramzi! Ramzi’s a sensitive soul who doesn’t know his own strength and will try to climb right into your lap to show you how much he loves you. He’s lived most of his life in a pretty small bubble- so new things can be spooky for this guy and he looks to his people for confidence and reassurence. Ramzi is very smart and while in the shelter, he has been excelling in positive reinforcement training. Ramzi could potentially live with another dog or a cat, but would prefer a life without children due to his training needs.

Boston, MA

Size

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Cuervo, a sweet, laid -back boy with lots of love to give. Cuervo enjoys short, sniffy walks around the block followed by an extended nap time. It can take Cuervo some time to adjust to new situations, so he’ll need a patient adopter to help him as he acclimates. Cuervo could live with dogs, cats, and older kids who can respect his boundries.
