Story

Unfortunately, due to an upcoming move, I need to find a new home for my dog. His name is Taz, and he’s 4½ years old. He’s a very sweet boy and doesn’t need much—just love, care, and affection. I’m looking for a responsible owner who will take good care of him and give him the attention he deserves. I can also provide some of his belongings to help with the transition, including bowls, collars, and other essentials. If you’re interested or would like more information, please reach out.

Charlie

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

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Charlie is a 5 year old Pembroke Welsh/Cardigan Welsh Corgi. He’s extremely intelligent, has great recall and off leash skills and is absolutely fearless. He can play fetch for hours on end without getting tired, so have plenty of toys at the ready! He is crate trained, though we rarely use it, and house broken. Caution: bite history. We are rehoming Charlie due to his behavioral needs and bite history. We are expecting our first child and after a few attempts at training, we’ve decided we cannot risk something happening. He is a one-person dog and resource guards. We have one other dog and a cat - he has occasionally picked fights with our other pup due to resource guarding. Sounds odd, but he has actually never had an issue with boarding, and have successfully boarded him with other dogs for multiple days without incident. He is very sweet when he wants to be, but also very independent. Hoping to find someone that can give him the care and attention he needs.

Gisele

American Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Female, Senior

Raynham, MA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Gisele – 7‑year‑old spayed pit/lab mix in Taunton, MA. Gisele weighs 50 lbs, is up to date on her rabies and distemper vaccinations and receives regular preventatives. Gisele’s previous family can no longer care for her, so she is looking for her forever home! Gisele is great with people. She’s spent time with a six‑year‑old child and older teenagers and was gentle and affectionate with both. She’s received tons of guests at her foster home and she loved everyone. She may bark to let you know someone is at the door, but she settles quickly and welcomes new friends. She enjoys leashed walks or playing in the yard, yet she’s just as happy napping on the couch. She's calm, house‑trained and crate‑trained (though the crate isn’t her favorite), and she can be trusted to free roam. She's dog selective and not good with cats so would do best as the only pet. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who’s happy to chill and hang out, Gisele may be the perfect match!
