Story

Princess is a great dog! She is a 45-pound, 9-year-old staffy who loves lounging around most of the day but also has tons of energy to play with toys and go for long walks or chase tennis balls at the dog park. She is very loving and loves to cuddle up at night under the covers. She loves her toys! She mostly ignores other dogs, but loves meeting new people at the dog park. She is in great health with no medical issues! The only issue I encounter is that I have a three-year-old daughter and Princess nips at her feet when she runs across the room. I am trying to find her a good home without small children or other pets.

Story

I got June from Bee Pawsitive in TX animal rescue when he was 4 months old. He was born on April 02, 2023. June and I moved to Boston and currently live in Medford, MA Unfortunately, due to life circumstances and a family member I need to take care for who has allergies, I am seeking a new home for June. I am going to be relocating to California and am seeking a new home for him. June loves people and pets alike. He is highly energetic and a very happy and friendly dog. He is always excited to go to the park to run and play with other dogs. He is great with children and cats too. His vaccinations are up to date and he is a sweet boy well house trained. He is also crate trained. Preferably looking for someone with a house who would be able to take him on walks/parks. Also, if the house already has one dog, it would be really great for June to have a friend.

Harley

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Adult

Medford, MA

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Harley is a loving, energetic girl who enjoys walks, outdoor time, and relaxing on the couch with her people. She bonds closely with her humans and does best with routine and structure. She is house trained, leash trained, and has basic manners training. She does well on walks and enjoys regular activity. Harley must be the only pet in the home. She becomes overstimulated around other animals and is not suited to living with dogs or cats. While she loves people, she would do best in a home without small children, as she can be excitable and does not always recognize her size. The ideal adopter will be home most of the day (retired, flexible schedule, or working from home) and experienced with dogs. Harley can become over-excited with new people, including jumping or zooming, and benefits from continued work on impulse control and anxiety with clear routines. In the right single-pet home, Harley will be a deeply affectionate and loyal companion.

Zaria happily entertains herself with toys or a romp in the backyard. She has lived with cats and has for the most part ignored their presence. Zaria loves her people and enjoys making new human friends. She can be an enthusiastic greeter and sometimes forgets her size, so older dog-savvy children would be best for her.

She knows a plethora of commands, and loves to learn new things every day. She is fully house trained and crate trained. Zaria enjoys relaxing in her crate throughout the day and sleeps soundly in it overnight. She is looking for an experienced and patient adopter who will continue to provide her with structure and routine so she can continue to be her best self. Are you the lucky family who gets to add Zaria to your bunch?Please Note: All dogs are posted until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line.
