Story
Turbo is a 7lb male Havapoo. He enjoys people’s company and will happily sit on your lap or near by you. He is blind in one eye and will sometimes need help navigating (stairs can be tricky). He is mostly calm natured and cautious but enjoys playing with his toys and getting belly rubs. He knows many commands such as come, sit, wait, off and up. Unfortunately Turbo does not get along well with young children and are looking to find him a good new home without young children. He has never bitten anyone but does growl and show teeth when children are near him. Turbo would do well with older adults as he is pretty relaxed and enjoys lounging.

Meet Cora, she’s a sweet dog and very cuddly but we have 4 active children and a lot of foot traffic in the house from their friends, etc, which is really hard for her as she can get anxious. She needs a quiet home with someone who can focus on her and love her.

Story
Finley is a lovely sweet dog. He’ll be happy to see you when you come home. He is very gentle with humans and kids. He hates cats after having been scratched by the neighbors cats who snuck into our basement. He is hypoallergenic and in good health. He loves running , usually in large fenced in parks as he gets very curious and happy and squirrel focused if not somewhat contained. He’d love a large back yard ideally, but if he can run off leash that would be awesome. He is super smart and not particularly food or treat focused. He adjusts his energy at home to your activity level and is happy to hang near you all day. Excellent rodent hunter so best not in home with rodent pets! Easy, simple diet. We have a double medical situation and haven’t been able to run him or give him the attention he needs. We don’t want to see him go, but we know it’s best for him. We’d love to see him go to a home where he will be appreciated!

Story
**My adoption fee is waived thanks to the generosity of a donor.** Chencho5 years oldAmerican Bully Have you ever dreamt of having your very own house hippo? Well dream no further! Chencho is the chunkiest house hippo on the block and is ready to dazzle you with his ample good looks and charm. This large couch potato would make a great companion in a variety of households as long as there are plenty of scritches available for him! He is not a fan of sharing his favorite things, so he would do best in a home without young children. He might be able to live with another dog with plenty of management. Chencho seems to have some allergies so it will be important to have a close relationship with a veterinarian to keep him feeling his best. Regardless, he promises to wiggle his way into your heart in no time! If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs. For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/ Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
