Jules

Mutt

Wellesley, MA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Jules is a fun loving goof ball who loves nothing more in life than chasing his orange rubber ball all day long. He is more of a people dog than a dog, dog and is soon to be 10 years old but has the energy of a 5 year old. His place as king of the household has changed with two young sisters now running around and sadly he cares so much about them that he howls/whines every time they cry. He would be much happier to have another house to himself so he can chase his ball in peace.

Needham, MA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Gruff, an affectionate handsome male. He is a very good boy acquired from a noted breeder from the LA area (I drove across the country to collect him!). Gruff has enjoyed a large home with a generous fenced in yard for his life, however change in family circumstances find him now in my 5th floor apartment. He deserves more freedom and exercise. He needs to run! His personality is typical for the breed and requires an experienced large dog handler. He is a great family dog, a protector, and seeks a job...like parading around a yard. He loves his sister (a Frenchie) and they are best friends, often cuddling. However if you have another dog already, transition could be a challenge. With reservation, I offer him to a loving owner. I say with reservation as, other than because of my living circumstances, I would not surrender him. Yet, focusing on his best interests, I know it is best for him. Please inquire if you can offer him what I cannot. Thank you/Bill

Ben

Boxer

Male, Young

Brookline, MA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Adopted from SPCA in 2022 as a newborn puppy. Ben is sweet, smart and playful couch potato. DNA test showed primarily Chihuahua, but boy was that wrong! He grew from 5 lbs to 55lbs quickly! He was a wonderful puppy with a little anxiety. He learned quickly to play with other dogs and enjoyed time with our kids, but remained skeptical of others. Ben trained well and proved to be very smart and playful with the whole household. We moved from the suburbs to the city and Ben’s anxiety in the new location is showing up regularly. He is protective of us and reactive to others until he can greet under control. With two very active young kids in a new neighborhood, we have too much going on to allow him to get the attention he needs to calm down in this urban environment. Would love to find him a home in a calmer environment so that Ben can thrive again.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Fiona is a sweet, spirited dog who just needs a little time to feel comfortable. She can be nervous when meeting new people, but once she knows you, she absolutely loves getting pets and attention. Fiona has lots of energy and would thrive with someone who enjoys playtime, walks, and helping her keep learning her manners. And after all that activity? Fiona is more than happy to curl up and enjoy a good nap.

LOKI

American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, 4 yrs 1 mo

Boston, MA

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

The God of mischief himself- Loki! Except this squishy faced cutie isn`t all that mischevious. He`s a strong gentle giant that enjoys meeting new people and going on walks. While he means well, his strength can sometimes cause a bit of mischeif- perhaps pulling on leahs while excited or jumping up to greet new friends! With some proper training using positive reinforcement, we can turn this sweet boy into the perfect gentleman. He`s dreaming of a nice quiet oasis to call his home. Unfortunately for this boy, he does have some ongoiong skin issues that will require some support from a veterinarian. That doesn`t take away from his good looks though- look at that face! Loki would prefer a home and a lifestyle that does not involve other dogs- he wants to be the one and only! If you think this guy could be a match for you, please come meet him!
