Story

I adopted Blackjack from the Dedham Animal Rescue League of Boston in November 2023 when he was right around 3 months old. He is the kindest, most caring, and loving dog one could ask for. It has been an absolute joy to watch him grow up and he has been very easy to train. He is an incredibly kind and sweet soul. Unfortunately, I've developed an escalating allergy to Blackjack and have made the difficult decision to find a new home for him.

Story

Marlo is 5 years old. Marlo is such a loving dog with nothing but kindness in his heart. he loves to cuddle, he loves to play, he loves to run around, he loves attention, he also loves giving attention. Marlo is a great & friendly dog, i’ve had him around friends, family, kids & he was always so great with them. Due to his last home, he had gotten into an altercation with another dog, so it’s best if he is the only dog in the house. given the circumstances, marlo is a great dog for me but i can’t keep him anymore. i work almost 12 hour shifts every single day & work almost 45 minutes away. So during the day he is left in the cage & no one is around to take him out for walks in the park & i feel horrible about it. i can’t give him the attention that he once had & i can see it in his face that it’s making him really sad. he needs a home where he has attention, can have a routine, and can be loved.

Story

Riley is the sweetest Golden retriever mix. He is 1Y8M and he was found in a trailer park in Alabama as a stray. He has been in MA for few months. When he first arrived he was afraid of the leash as we believe he was never on one but now he is a total pro! He loves his walks and meeting other dogs. Incredible with other dogs, people, kids and so far even some cats! That surprised us as he does have a high pray drive for rabbits and squirrels but then again which golden retriever doesn’t? When he is not playing with his friend Pippa, you can find him cuddling next to you. His other favorite pass time is playing fetch! That he can do for a long time for sure 😃 He is looking for an energetic and active person or couple who can give him the exercise he needs. A fenced yard is a requirement for this young fellow If interested please apply on www.legacyrescue.org/adoption

Story

Major is a purebred English cream Golden Retriever who was bought from a breeder. Unfortunately, Due to unexpected personal circumstances the family decided to surrender Major to our care and to find him the perfect home. He is 11 months old and 73 lbs big boy. Pure love bug, sweet, kind. Due to his size people forget he is still a puppy and has lot of energy. He does know how to settle down though once he plays with his friend Lilly, several walks and some fetch. Extremely trainable, he is also somewhat of a Velcro dog. He loves being near people and definitely loves a combination of belly rubs accompanied by some treats 🤷‍♀️ He is looking for his next home so please only apply if you have the time and energy to dedicate to a young pup who need the exercise but also lots of cuddling and kisses.

Details

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

Story

Hi! I'm Tootie, a 1.5-year-old female hound mix. I'm about 43 pounds and am up to date on all my vaccinations. I am playful and affectionate. I love giving kisses to everyone I meet! I'm great with dogs and love going to the dog park and daycare. I'd love to have another dog to play with me in my new house, but would be fine alone as long as you're around to play with me. My previous family loved me very much, but unfortunately I didn't get along well with their kitten. As a hound, I'm very prey-driven and like to chase cats and small animals. They're heartbroken to see me go but know I deserve a home where I can be my happy-go-lucky self! I hope it won't be long before I find my forever family. I'm available through Kitty Connection in Medford.

Medford, MA

Size

Details

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

Story

My name is Kronos and I am a 2 1/2 year-old black nose/mountain Curr male. I’m a very friendly and happy-go-lucky guy when I’m comfortable in my surroundings. I have a great time playing with other dogs in the doggie park. I am a lovable and affectionate dog to my people and protective of them as well. I love their love and affection, I love going out on walks and being involved in outside activities. I’m a little overweight, so I need to get a lot more outside activity into my schedule. My dad just doesn’t have the time anymore to give me the activity and time that I need. I love to go on car rides because I am timid, meeting new people I am best with a dog experienced individual. I am available through Kitty Connection in Medford.
