Story
Hi! My name is Tasha. I’m about 6 years old. I was rescued from Alabama in 2020, and now I live in MA. I’m in good health, all vaccinations current, up-to-date on Heartgard and Nextguard. I’m not comfortable or good with small children and can be reactive around other dogs. I’m generally well-behaved and loving with older kids and adults. I’m very loving and sweet. I’m food-motivated and know some general commands (Sit, Leave It, Place, Touch, Crate Time). I’m energetic, but I also like to hang out and snuggle. I’m playful, goofy, and can’t wait to find my new forever home. Requirements: No kids in house.

Willow is one of the most loving, affectionate, in-tune, gentle, loyal, and soulful dogs you'll ever meet. She bonds quickly and deeply with her people, and she's the type of dog who endlessly gazes at you like you're her whole world. She is the most in-tune, people-orientated pup. She is remarkably emotionally attuned to her people; she is so attentive and eager to connect. People stop her on the street all the time because she radiates such calm, sweet affection. She truly is a special, endlessly loving dog. Petite, 18-lbs, 17 months old Completely house trained, easy to care for Perfect, easy walker; no pulling, no reactivity Very adaptable energy level; easily settles, loves to lounge at home; but also always up for a walk or hike Fantastic with kids and all people Great with other dogs (friendly, playful) Very loving; would thrive in a home where she can soak up affection 6177945691

Shiloh

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
Chestnut Hill, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Affectionate, playful, and always up for a new adventure or challenge, Shiloh will bring lots of joy to his new home. I adopted him in April 2022, when he was 5 months old, as a little brother for my first pup, but have found the demands of raising 2 young working/sporting males in the city - and their behaviors together - to be more than I can manage as a single working mom. Shiloh is house trained, neutered, vaxed, and travels well in the car. Food motivated, he’s got great recall, responds to all the basic commands, learns quickly, luvs 2 please. Seeking active, dog-savvy family who love shepherds and are available most days to walk/hike, cuddle, play. Big enclosed yard and older dog/s (especially female) a bonus. Could also do well in quiet home.
