Story

Simba is over 100 pounds of wiggly love. He is such a good natured dog who seems happy to meet everyone. He loves to be petted and hang out with his people - he'll flop over for belly rubs and lean against you for attention. He seems to like other dogs and loves to play. He chases cats, so would do best in a cat-free home. He loves to chew on bones and play with toys. He can be a bit sensitive to the heat and will need a home with air-conditioning - during the super hot days, he'll prefer shorter walks. Ready to Adopt?

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?

Story

Are you looking for an adorable ball of energy? Tilly is a 6 month old Italian Greyhound/Labrador mix who may be a bit nervous when she is first coming into her new environment but once she is warmed up she will surely become your best friend! Tilly loves to play with tennis balls, squeaker toys, and anything really she can throw around and catch.

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 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. Because of this, Polo is looking for an adult only home or a home with teens and up that way he and everybody else are most comfortable! 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.
