Story

Meet Griselda, a sweet and resilient soul who is ready to steal your heart! This lovely girl came to us from our friends at Thomas J. O'Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center after being found as a stray. While we don't have any background history on her past, Griselda has proven to be a total delight—she has been remarkably social, affectionate, and friendly with everyone she meets since the moment she arrived. 👋 People Person: Loves meeting everyone and brings a warm, friendly energy to every interaction. 🐕 Pup Partner: May do well living with another calm canine companion after a proper meet-and-greet. 📖 New Chapter: Coming in as a stray means her backstory is a mystery, but she is ready to start her fresh story with you. 🏥 Care Package: Griselda has some chronic skin allergies and ear infections that we’ve started treatment for, but her adopter will need a relationship with a veterinarian to continue to treat those issues. She will also need a dental with your vet as she has significant dental disease. If you are looking for a gentle, loving companion to add to your family, come meet Griselda today! Ready to Adopt? You have two options: #1- VISIT IN PERSON Come during our open adoption hours: Tuesday - Saturday,12:30 - 3:00pm. You’ll be able to meet available dogs in the shelter. (Dogs in foster care are available to meet by appointment.) #2- ADOPT REMOTELY OR PLACE A 24-HOUR HOLD** If you’re ready to adopt without meeting the dog first, or you’d like to place a non-refundable $25 hold to reserve a dog for 24 hours, just call or email us: (413) 781-4000 x 1 springfield@dakinhumane.org. We are often helping other clients when you call, but we return voicemails and emails within 24 hours. **Holds are not available for puppies under six months, on Saturdays, or during adoption events.

Story

Meet Phoenix! This gorgeous 2-year-old pit mix is looking for a patient, understanding family to help her shine. Her foster said it only took a day or so for her to warm up and make herself at home, and then she was immediately asking for belly rubs! About Phoenix 💖 Once she trusts you, she is an absolute cuddle bug who adores belly rubs and affection. 🏡 House trained and enjoys a predictable daily routine. 🧸 Loves playing tug-of-war and going on peaceful walks. 🐶 Has done well meeting other dogs outside of the shelter environment! Her Ideal Environment 🤫 Needs a quiet, low-traffic home to adjust at her own pace. ♂️She is much more afraid of men than she is of women, and would prefer a woman-only home. ⚡ Sensitive to loud noises, new environments, and unfamiliar people, but adjusts well with time. She's even gone camping in a quiet woodsy spot with her foster and loved it! Adoption Process 👩‍💼 Phoenix may need multiple meet-and-greets to build trust with new people before going home!

Story

Have you had a shy and undersocialized puppy before? Tell us about them! 🛝 Play! Play! Play! This guy is seeking a home where he can have lots of outside time, learn how to walk on leash, and lots of mental and physical stimulation to keep his mind and body active! 🤗 Ultimate love bugs who love kisses and to give endless cuddles in between play time! 🐾 These guys have lived with other dogs before and seem to really enjoy running around and playing! They would likely LOVE a canine friend again in their new home. 🌱 Needs a Patient Guide: Because she wasn't socialized much to the outside world, walks and new places can feel pretty overwhelming to her right now. She currently does not know how to walk on leash at all and is going to need lots of patience, treats, and reassurance! 🛡️ Confidence Building: She needs an understanding adopter who will take things slow and help her feel safe as she learns the world isn't so scary. 🫈 This guy is going to be big and is seeking an adopter who can manage everything that comes with an active, adolescent, large pup! Ready to Adopt? Ready to adopt? Come visit during open adoption hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 12:30 to 3:00pm. Puppies in foster care are not available for in-person visits.
