Story
Scuba was originally found as a stray and wound up at a kill shelter in Georgia. A person adopted him in Boston, and Scuba was brought up North. Unfortunately, the person never showed up when it was time to pick Scuba up. He has since been looking for a place to call home. He’s currently housed at a daycare facility in Brookline. Scuba *predictably* has some hesitation when it comes to strangers. He takes a minute to warm up. Within 30 mins, you’ll be best friends. But initially, he’s scared, and may bark. He’s also a bit jumpy, and needs continued training to get basic manners down (he’s still young - right at 12 months old). He would thrive with a backyard and a pup friend to play with. He’s been passed around like a hotcake, and 3 families have returned him. He’s really starting to show stress from the lack of consistency in his life. He needs someone to actually give him a week or two to decompress and that will actually love him for who he is - a silly, quirky goofball.

Story
Kobe is a sweet older gentleman who is looking for a new home of his own. He enjoys a leisurely stroll where he can take in the smells of the neighborhood. Kobe was diagnosed with uveodermatologic syndrome, which affects the eyes. He had to have one eye removed and has decreased vision in the remaining eye. Kobe is looking for a patient home where he can settle in at his own pace and learn to navigate his environment with limited vision. Once he is comfortable he loves to be pet and get lots of treats. Kobe might be able to live with another low key dog friend who can respect his boundaries.

Story
Meet Bailey! This sweet senior lady is looking for a quiet place to call home! She enjoys a leisurely stroll and then cuddling up in your lap for a snooze! She would prefer a quiet neighborhood where she doesn`t have to see dogs at every turn. She can be worried meeting new people and is looking for a home that will advocate for her needs and help her meet people at her pace! She could potentially live with a confident dog-social and people social dog, potentially a cat friend and potentially children who will give her time and space to warm up as she settles in!

Story
Where for art thou, Romeo? He’s right here, waiting for his true love! This older prince is a little shy at first, but warms up quickly and is happy to receive snuggles from his new friends. He loves to chase toys, but also rabbits and cats so a home without the latter would be preferred! Romeo is looking for someone who is willing to respect his space and continue training with him to keep his manners and brain sharp! If you think that’s you, stop by our Boston adoption center to ask about him today!

Story
Meet Dalha! Dalha is a sweet, sensitive boy looking for his next home! Dalha grew up in a pretty small bubble and was not introduced to many people in his last home, so meeting new people can be scary for him! We are looking for adopters who are patient and willing to keep Dalha`s world small and expand his world slowly as he gets more comfortable, being his advocate in the process! Dalha has shown that he is uncomfortable with children and with other dogs, so he is looking to be your one and only with no expectations of interacting with children or other dogs! With lots of patience and attention we believe Dalha will steal your heart and be a great companion!
