Sarge $399-In Foster

Pointer Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 11 mos

Springfield, MA

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Sarge, a medium-sized pointer mix who made the long trip from Alabama in search of a fresh start and a family of his own. He’s playful, silly, and wonderfully smart—the kind of dog who keeps you laughing and on your toes. Sarge loves chasing toys and then proudly parading them around the yard for everyone to admire. Once he’s had his fill of fun and exercise, he turns into a total cuddle bug who’s happiest snuggled up with his people. He’s an active guy who will thrive with regular physical and mental activity. Because he was found as a stray, we don’t have much history on his past, but his southern shelter noted that he did well with other dogs. If you have a resident dog, Sarge would love to meet them here first to be sure it’s a good fit. We do not know how he’ll do with cats or kids. He appears to be house trained. Sarge has some ongoing medical and behavior issues that staff can talk to you about. If you're looking for a bright, fun-loving companion who will reward you with endless affection, Sarge may be your perfect match! Ready to Adopt?

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

🐾 Meet Polo — Your Big, Lovable Shadow! 🐾 Polo is an 8-year-old gentle giant with a heart every bit as big as he is. This sweet boy is a total baby who wants nothing more than to be close to his people. If you’re sitting, he wants to be leaning against you. If you’re walking around, he’ll trot right beside you. Polo’s dream home is one where he can finally relax and feel safe with someone who understands him. Here at the shelter, Polo is feeling very stressed and overwhelmed, and it shows in some jumpy, excited behavior. He doesn’t always remember his manners, but with patience, routine, and kindness, he’ll absolutely blossom. He already knows sit, give paw, and lay down, and with the right guidance he can keep building on those good manners. Polo loves all toys, but rope toys are his absolute favorite! A good game of tug-o-war will make his whole day. He’s a big, strong guy and gets very excited on leash — he pulls with enthusiasm — so his adopters should be prepared for his strength and help him learn that walks can be calm and fun. Because he can be jumpy and easily overstimulated, Polo is looking for an adult-only home or a home with teens and up. He needs adopters who can provide structure, patience, and lots of time to decompress. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who will adore you endlessly, make you laugh, and always keep your feet warm, Polo might be your perfect match. He’s waiting for someone special to see past the shelter stress and discover the incredible dog he truly is. Ready to Adopt?

Ace

Details

Story

Meet Ace — your future best friend in training! Ace is a sweet 7-month-old Poodle–Labrador mix with a soft heart and an even softer coat. This handsome boy can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but with patience, gentle introductions, and a calm environment, he blossoms into a goofy, affectionate pup. Once Ace feels safe, his true personality shines—he loves to run, zoom around the yard, and entertain himself with toys. Because Ace is still young and learning about the world, he will benefit greatly from positive-reinforcement training in his new home. He’s smart, eager to please, and with the right encouragement, he’ll grow into a confident, well-mannered companion. As a Poodle mix, Ace will also require routine grooming to keep his coat healthy and comfortable, so his ideal family will be ready for regular brushing and professional grooming appointments. If you’re looking for a gentle, thoughtful dog who just needs a bit of time to trust, Ace may be the perfect match. With love, patience, and structure, this sweet boy will reward you with loyalty, joy, and endless tail wags. Ready to Adopt?

Meet Izzi, a 3-year-old chihuahua with a big personality in a tiny package. She’s sweet, friendly, and has a great history with kids and people, making her a wonderful fit for a family looking for a small companion with lots of charm. According to her previous owner, Izzi gets along well with other dogs and is used to using pee pads, which can make her transition into a new home a little easier.
