Story

Meet Gizmo 🐾 Gizmo is a wonderful 5-year-old Beagle who has been a deeply loved member of my family since he was a puppy. I brought him home from a family that bred Beagles, and I have had the privilege of raising and loving him for a little over five years. He has brought so much happiness, laughter, companionship, and love into my life, which is what makes the decision to find him a new home incredibly difficult. Gizmo is a fun, playful, energetic, and incredibly lovable dog. He loves being around people and is happiest when he can be part of the family. He gets along well with both adults and children and has such a sweet, affectionate personality. He is the kind of dog who loves attention, cuddling, playing, and simply being near his people. He would make a wonderful companion for a family, a couple, or even someone living on their own. I am someone who is a full-time college student and also working so I unfortunately have been struggling make time for him.

Story

Are you looking for a best friend who’s always ready to be by your side? A loyal companion who hangs on your every word and just wants to share life’s everyday moments with you? Then you need to meet Molly. Molly is a 7-year-old, 30-pound Sheepadoodle with a heart as big as her personality. Her foster mom says it best: “This is one cool dog. Someone is going to be really, really lucky to get her.” And she means it. Molly loves being with her person. Whether you’re running errands, working around the house, or simply relaxing on the couch, she’s happiest when she’s right there with you. She’s attentive, connected, and ready to build a true partnership with her forever family. Because Molly has a strong herding instinct, she would do best as the only pet in the home — no other dogs or cats — where she can focus all her love and loyalty on her people. Molly is currently located between Rochester and Buffalo, NY, and she’s ready to start her next chapter. Could it be with you? Please fill out an adoption application before you contact the placement team. (https://membership.neoesr.org/OL-Adoption.php)

Stevie

Mutt Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult

Lincoln, MA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Stevie is an approximately 6 year old lab/corgi mix who was adopted four years ago. She is sweet, gentle, a little overweight (ok, about 15lbs overweight according to the vet). She is great with other dogs and kids. I listed "unknown" regarding cats - she will NOT hurt them in my experience but does enjoy a chase. She loves long walks and would be a happy girl in a farm setting, or in a home with land to roam. She is affectionate and snuggly! Unfortunately life has thrown a curveball and finding myself in a single mom situation isn't conducive to giving her the life she deserves. We'd love to see her being spoiled with a loving family where she has the support, love, time, and attention she'd thrive with.

Story

Lenny is a charming and happy dog, who loves cuddles and everyone he comes across! He does get anxious when left alone, so we do need a adoptee that has a space all for him. He loves to snuggle up to you or lay down calmly when he knows you are near.

Birdie

Shepherd (Unknown Type) Hound (Unknown Type)

Female, Adult

Arlington, MA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We are seeking a new home for Birdie, our sweet, snuggly, endearing and sensitive 7 year old Shepard/hound/staffie mix. This decision has not been an easy one to make, but our lives have changed and we are no longer able to give Birdie the kind of care and attention she needs and deserves. Birdie has the sweetest disposition, she’s gentle with children, and good with other dogs out and about outside of her home. She endears herself to everyone she meets with her shy yet kind disposition, and she is quick to warm to new people when they show her love. Birdie will do best in a home where she can be prioritized as her anxiety does take some care and patience. She truly thrives in nature and does not tolerate the stimulation of city life. Even the residential setting where we live can be tough for her, so she will do best in a rural setting. She loves to hike and swim, and she will be your best nature buddy.

Details

Story

Meet Milo 💛 Milo is a 2-year-old, 64-lb Bernadoodle who’s as sweet and friendly as they come. He came to us as a surrender from a home where he didn’t get the exercise and playtime he needed — but in just a week with his foster family, he’s already blossoming. Milo loves playing in the fenced yard, going for walks, and hanging out with other dogs. He’s awesome with people, gentle and affectionate, and his recent health check was perfect. He’s great in the car and quickly bonds with his person — the kind of loyal companion who’ll follow you anywhere. He can be a little timid when he first meets new people, but there isn’t a single bad bone in his body. He’s just learning what it means to be a happy young dog — and he’s doing beautifully. 💫 Add another furry brother or sister? Even better — Milo loves dogs!
