Story

Meet Gizmo 🐾 Gizmo is a wonderful 5-year-old Beagle who has been a deeply loved member of my family since he was a puppy. I brought him home from a family that bred Beagles, and I have had the privilege of raising and loving him for a little over five years. He has brought so much happiness, laughter, companionship, and love into my life, which is what makes the decision to find him a new home incredibly difficult. Gizmo is a fun, playful, energetic, and incredibly lovable dog. He loves being around people and is happiest when he can be part of the family. He gets along well with both adults and children and has such a sweet, affectionate personality. He is the kind of dog who loves attention, cuddling, playing, and simply being near his people. He would make a wonderful companion for a family, a couple, or even someone living on their own. I am someone who is a full-time college student and also working so I unfortunately have been struggling make time for him.

Story

Cecil is a 6 year old blue Merle Aussie. My parents got him as a puppy in 2020 but due to major medical setbacks in the last year, they can no longer keep him. He loves his humans and wants to follow or stay beside them all day. He is house trained and knows basic commands. He currently lives with another much older dog, and they are very close. He would rather go for a walk than play with a toy.Cecil is a very special dog with a quirky personality and is incredibly loyal and devoted to those he loves. He is also anxious in new circumstances, and we recommend experienced, patient dog owners with a home and yard. He is very cuddly and playful but takes time to open up to others. When anxious, he can whine, bark (loudly) and has occasionally nipped strangers that approach him too fast. He is also very trainable and does fine with other dogs and humans at doggy daycare. Cecil has a lot to offer for the right fit. Please reach out if you are interested or know someone that is.

Story

Meet Oliver (Ollie) our sweet 15 year old minimature poodle/chinese crested mix who is looking for a loving home where he can spend his golden years getting all the attention and companionship he deserves.Ollie has been our beloved family dog for over 10 years. He is incredibly sweet, cuddly, affectionate, and loves being close to people. He definetely has a stubborn side and knows what he wants (sometimes won't take a walk, will lay on the floor), but that is just what makes Ollie, Ollie.At 15 years old, Ollie does have some special needs. He is blind and has high blood pressure, which is managed with two medications a day. He also is quite stubborn so does have incontenence issues (he wears a diaper to pee) and does sometimes have number 2 accidents in the house. Despite his age and some medical needs, he is doing well and is a happy older guy who just needs a little more care, patience, and supervision we are unable to give with full time in person work and older parents.

ROONEY

American Bulldog

Male, 3 yrs 2 mos

Boston, MA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Rooney! Rooney is a sweet, more reserved boy looking for his next home. He has shown us that it takes some time for him to get comfortable around new people but once he is comfortable with you will make a great couch potato friend or friend to lay next to you while you work! We don`t have any history on Rooney so we are looking for adopters that are ready to take things at his pace and are excited to learn about his personality as he settles in. We think Rooney could live with another dog if starting out with complete separation, slow introductions and a dog that is into a more exuberant playstyle! We don`t know if he has lived with cats before but think he could do well starting out with complete separation and slow introductions. We don`t know if Rooney has lived with kids but think he could do well with children that can give him space as he settles in and once he is more comfortable will be able to help with his training plan!

CAYLEX

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 1 yr 4 mos

Boston, MA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet the endearing Caylex! Caylex is an adorable and sensitive guy who is looking for a patient adopter. New things can be overwhelming for him, but as we’ve seen at the shelter with some patience and time he is open to exploration. Caylex would do best in a quieter home with a patient family who is excited to ease him into a new routine at his own pace and start some basic training. Caylex could live with a confident dog friend who can help show him the ropes. Adopters would need to meet on campus with their dog before adoption. Caylex has a history of resource guarding so adopters should be ready to manage things like food and toys especially if introducing him to a home with another dog.

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

Details

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

Story

Large, 40 LBS, striking dog, grey coat, mixed - she is wonderful, but moderately high energy & smart (2 years~). Likely a better fit for a home with a yard and/or a moderately physically active household, read: will give her an outlet for her energy, she loves to run with other dogs, be with her people, and enrichment activities. Interested in placing her in a home with someone who understands dog behavior. She is shy and slow to warm. Off-leash: She is friendly with other dogs her size or smaller who are mellow, playful. Once she she warms up, she will run and play with other dogs. On-leash: She is skittish and has made a lot of progress, but a potential adopter needs to be aware that she has anxiety on the leash that is very different from her behavior off leash. For example, I will cross the street with her when I see a dog or person approaching us.note: She has gone through a couple obedience classes and is highly trainable, she knows recall, basic commands, sit/down
