Story
Madison is a bright and spirited six-year-old Boston Terrier mix with a bouncy personality and a busy-body charm that keeps everyone smiling. In her previous home, she lived happily with dogs her own size and within her familiar circle, though it seems she hasn’t had much experience meeting new dogs and can be reactive in care. With patience and proper introductions, she can continue to build confidence in new social situations. Madison has no known history with cats, so a careful, thoughtful introduction would be important if she were to live with them. She thrives on enrichment, activity, and mental engagement, making her a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys keeping their dog busy, happy, and learning. With the right mix of structure, exercise, and affection, Madison will shine as a lively and devoted member of the family.

Story
Joey (approximately 49 pounds) was transferred to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded shelter in Texas. This boy is pure happiness! His zest for life will make you laugh & most definitely keep a smile on your face. He is the epitome of a gangly teenager trying to fully control his lanky limbs while bunny hopping around to play with anyone and everyone...seriously, this boy loves EVERYONE! He also thinks that everyone loves him, which is usually correct but he might be a little too much for dogs that don't enjoy play time. But if you have a pup looking for a super fun, super sweet fur friend, you need to meet Joey! Our handsome boy doesn't want his human friends to feel left out either - he is always excited for human attention & snuggles, especially after he has played his little heart out. We suspect that Joey will weigh 72-89 pounds when full grown, but this is not an exact science, so please take it with a grain of salt.If you'd like to meet Joey and all his friends at the New Hampshire SPCA, please visit our Adoption Center during our open hours: 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day except Wednesdays (closed). Plus, this October, we will be open until 7:00 p.m. on Thursdays! Have questions? Call (603) 772-2921 ext. 110 or email info@nhspca.org today. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Cream Weight: 22 Age: 0yrs 9mths 1wks

Story
Chewy is a 1.5-year-old, 50-pound mixed-breed sweetheart with an easygoing, social personality. He loves other dogs and has lived comfortably alongside them, and he has also shared space with cats and chickens; he may give chase, but he’s otherwise respectful and manageable with proper guidance. Chewy is wonderful with children and friendly with every new person he meets. He’s crate trained and settles well, though he still has typical young-dog habits like exploring the trash, so continued enrichment and structure will help him thrive. He enjoys car rides, swimming, and being included in whatever his people are doing. Overall, he’s a loving, joyful companion ready for a family who will appreciate his energy, curiosity, and gentle nature.
