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
Cami is a four months old with lots of love. She is very playful, friendly and cuddly. She loves her squeeky toys and her frozen carrot sticks. She is partially house trained - she is good with her crate, sleeps overnight, and is able to be by herself for a couple hours. She is still working on potty training, but is very good on a schedule. Cami has her basic commands down and is quick to catch on new trainings. She loves meeting people and dogs and then napping right next to her person (she will scooch closer to you if you pull away!)Willing to transport her to location.

Luca is an 8-year-old, sweet and loving boy who has been house-trained since we adopted him at 8 months old from North Carolina. He's healthy with no medical issue and makes a great house guard dog. Luca loves to cuddle and enjoys his walks, though he may bark when he sees other dogs. with a toddler now getting much of our attention, we are hoping to find Luca a new home with someone who can give him the time, love, and affection he truly deserves.

Story
I adopted June from Bee Pawsitive rescue in Texas at 4 months old (born April 2, 2023). We moved to Boston and live in Medford, MA. Due to a family member's allergies and my relocation to California, I'm looking for a loving forever home for him. June is a Husky/Great Pyrenees mix — a happy, high-energy boy who lights up every room. He loves people, dogs, cats, and children. Extremely friendly, even with strangers, and thrives on attention and affection. At the park he's in his element — running, playing with other dogs, and entertaining himself with a toy until he's tired out. He's curious and adventurous on walks. His ideal routine is an evening park session and a morning walk. Neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, house-trained, and crate-trained. No special needs, excellent health. He pulls on leash without enough exercise but walks well with regular play. Looking for someone with a house and yard who can give him love and exercise. A home with another dog would be a bonus.
