Story
Niko is a 3.5-year-old Blue Heeler mix with a wonderful, friendly personality. He's healthy, fully vaccinated, house-trained, and great with people and most dogs he meets. He's smart, loyal, and enjoys daily walks, playtime, and being around his humans. I've had him since he was a 6 month old rescue, and he has been deeply loved. I'm looking for a new home for him due to long-term life changes and increased international travel to care for family medical issues, not because of any issues with him. Rehoming him is one of the hardest decisions I've had to make. Niko would thrive with an active individual or family who can give him regular exercise, companionship, and a stable routine. He's an affectionate, intelligent dog who bonds closely and will make an incredible companion for the right home. He grew up in a household with cats and is great with them. Meet-and-greets can be arranged in the Greater Boston area.

Story
Hi! My name is Tasha. I’m about 6 years old. I was rescued from Alabama in 2020, and now I live in MA. I’m in good health, all vaccinations current, up-to-date on Heartgard and Nextguard. I’m not comfortable or good with small children and can be reactive around other dogs. I’m generally well-behaved and loving with older kids and adults. I’m very loving and sweet. I’m food-motivated and know some general commands (Sit, Leave It, Place, Touch, Crate Time). I’m energetic, but I also like to hang out and snuggle. I’m playful, goofy, and can’t wait to find my new forever home. Requirements: No kids in house.

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!
