Story
Ulli is a sweet 9-year-old German Shepherd who still has the energy of a puppy. I got her from the Czech Republic in 2018 while stationed in Germany, and she has been a wonderful companion. It pains me to part with her, but due to my military career and being single, it is difficult to give her the time and attention she deserves.Ulli is:• Sweet and affectionate toward people• High energy and loves to run and play• Spayed, microchipped, and house trained• Experienced living with other dogs (case-by-case basis)• Good with childrenI am looking for a loving home with owners who have property where she can play and who are active enough to take her on regular walks.💰 Rehoming fee: $0Includes: [List any items included, like her leash or favorite ball]

Story
Meet Saint, if you're looking for an active sidekick who gives unconditional love and maximum enthusiasm, Saint is your guy! 🏃‍♂️ Trail & Track Buddy: Saint is an energetic boy who would love to join you for daily walks, hiking, or any sort of playtime! Just be prepared to turn your walk into a run, because this boy is a strong puller who means business on the leash. 🧸 Toy Aficionado: He absolutely loves playing with toys and happily takes center stage as the star of the household—he adores being the absolute center of attention with his people! 👅 Master of Warm Welcomes: As a very social boy, Saint never misses a chance to make you feel loved. Expect to be greeted with an enthusiastic, big slobbery hello every single time you walk through the door! 🐕 Single-Pet Preferred (With Options!): Saint would prefer to be the only dog in his next home, but living with another pup could be doable with some close attention skills! Meets are required here for other dogs to make sure they're a good match. If you are ready for endless adventures, fun workout sessions, and a loyal friend who will adore you with everything he’s got, Saint can’t wait to meet you! Ready to adopt? Come visit during open adoption hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 12:30 to 3:00 pm. Dogs in foster care can be met by appointment. You can also adopt remotely or place a 24-hour hold for a non-refundable $25. Just call or email us at (413) 781-4000 x1 or springfield@dakinhumane.org. We return all voicemails and emails within 24 hours. Holds are not available on Saturdays or during adoption events.

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! Ready to give Phoenix the patience she needs? Talk to our staff about her today! Ready to Adopt?

Meet Sugar, she's ridiculously sweet and incredibly social. This adorable little lady is ready to start her next adventure! She loves to play, she loves to walk, she loves to cuddle. She does well with kids, but has no experience with cats. When meeting dogs she can be curious but nervous of high energy dogs. Would prefer a mellow pup playmate so we recommend a meet with resident dogs before adoption Ready to Adopt?
