Size

Details

Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Truck was rescued from the streets of NYC and because his owner had to move I acquired him in Worcester ,Massachusetts. He is anxious at first but with patience Truck opens up to a smart, loving, funny, snuggly dog. He responds well to training and already knows sit, stay, touch, and leave it. He would do best with a household with no other pets or children to allow for his amazing personality to shine. He has been around other dogs and done well but does get anxious around huskies. He is great on leash and well Mannered. He would be a loving contributor to a special household.

Story

My dog has persistent health issues that I can’t afford to treat at the vet. She’s suffering from severe allergies that cause her skin to itch. I don’t have the time to provide her with the care she needs. Despite her loving and kind nature, she’s a great companion who sleeps with me and enjoys walks. She loves steak and is a good eater. I’m a young woman in college studying accounting. Balancing my studies and taking care of my dog is challenging. I’ve tried to manage her care, but it’s been difficult to find time for both. I thought getting her a new home would be easy, but it’s been a constant struggle with her skin issues. I want her to find a loving and caring home where she’ll have the time and attention she deserves. She’s good with kids and is very affectionate. She’s slept with me most of her life and doesn’t bark excessively.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hello, my name is Apollo! I’m around 7 years old and I still have a lot of love and energy to give. I prefer to be around many people and children but not cats and I am scared of other dogs sometimes. I would need some extra attention in that area to help me feel safe. Unfortunately, my owner passed away and ideally I would get along with someone active to run and play with me but I am also content when left at home during the day. I know all my basic commands and even more if I’m properly motivated by treats!

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

Details

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

Story

I adopted Kumi when she was a puppy, and she is now almost 7 years old. She is a loving, energetic girl who enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, and spending quality time with her people. As much as she loves being active, she also loves to cuddle and relax with her family.Kumi is great with children, although she tends to do better with older kids than with younger ones. She has a high prey drive, so she is not a good fit for a home with cats.Unfortunately, due to medical reasons, I can no longer provide Kumi with the active lifestyle she deserves. Even simple things, like taking her for walks, have become difficult for me. This is a very hard decision because I love her and want what is best for her.I am hoping to find Kumi a loving home where she can continue to enjoy long walks, receive plenty of affection, and be part of a family that can give her the time, attention, and care she deserves. She is just as happy going on an adventure as she is snuggling up beside you! ❤️
