Story
Ginny is a 14 month old catahoula mix. She is very energetic and quirky as can be! She loves taking long walks and does great at regular "doggy day care" visits at a facility in our town and loves other dogs. She does great with our kids. Ginny has gone through both group training sessions for basic commands, and has worked privately with a trainer. Ginny needs frequent exercise in conjunction with mental puzzles such as licky mats and sniffing adventures. Ginny should NOT be in a home with other cats. An ideal adopter would have an active lifestyle and/or work from home to give her the attention she craves. Her current human works from home and this is the lifestyle she knows. An adopter WILL have their references called, and you need to be established with a vet of your own or opt to continue with her current vet in Western MA (they're a part of a chain).

Story
Pepper is a sweet girl who loves to cuddle and play. She is also nervous and anxious and will need an experienced adopter with patience and time to let her adjust. She should not be with other pets or in a house with children. She would do best in a quieter home with one or two people who have time to walk and play with her. She is well trained, (walks well on a leash) house trained and crate trained. She is fun and silly and has so much love to give, we just cannot have her in our home with two young children.

Story
She is s a loving dog. She loves head scratches and running outside just like any other dog. She is a big breed and needs a lot of love, attention and training. She deserves a home that has time for her to grow and prosper. She was born some time in December ‘24 I’ve had her since March ‘25. She is still a puppy with a big heart. I have a busy schedule and she needs more time than I have for her right now. I moved, so I’ve had to work more to make ends meet. She deserves the whole world. She still has trouble making it outside on time to use the bathroom. She has accidents in her cage, but has been improving slowly. She gets along with other dogs, she is very playful. She gets along with my house cat. She’s just recently finding her “voice”. She’s now due for her rabies shot after a year. If anyone can provide the space, time, financial stability and training she needs please reach out. She needs a lot of help I haven’t been able to provide properly. Thank you.

Story
Dean is 5 years old and is a very sweet dog. He loves cuddling with people. He was my son's dog who moved and couldn't keep him. We have a dog of our own and the cost to maintain 2 dogs has just become too much. Dean has been around a variety of people and has done very well. He might be excited at first but settles down quickly. He walks well on a leash and would benefit from a secure fenced in yard where he can explore.

Story
My parents got Bonnie through a rehoming program she came up to New England from somewhere in the Soutern United States. I believe Bonnie is about 6 years old. Bonnie is a very loyal high energy dog that requires a lot of attention and exercise. A new owner should enjoy long walks and outdoor time.

Story
Are you looking for a partner-in-crime who greets every day with a wagging tail and boundless enthusiasm? Look no further than this Dude! ⚜️ Social & Loving: True to his southern roots, Dude is incredibly hospitable! He absolutely adores people and gets along great with other dogs. (Cats are currently unknown!) 🚀 Born to Explore: He thrives on outdoor adventures and playtime. He’s got that clever, classic Lab mischief that will keep you smiling (and maybe keeping your shoes in the closet). 🦖 Great with Kids: Dude is incredibly friendly and would love a big family to call his own. However, because his bouncy enthusiasm is unmatched, he might accidentally knock over toddlers—so older kids or dog-savvy families are best! 🏡 If you have an active lifestyle and plenty of love to give, this sweet southern boy is ready to pack his bags and join your pack!
