Story

Panini (approximately 53 pounds) was transferred to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded shelter in South Carolina. The staff at her previous shelter told us that this girl is wonderful, and they were right! Panini is the kind of dog who makes you feel special - she is affectionate, loving, and looks at you like you hung the moon whenever you return her love. She sits quietly in her kennel but will lift up a paw & place it on her kennel door as you walk by, as if to say "Pick me!" She is 100% house trained and never has an accident in her kennel, plus she is an easy walker and very good on leash. Panini participated in doggie play groups at her previous shelter and did very well with the other dogs there. She is a darling girl with the most winning puppy dog eyes - when Panini gives you the look of love, it is impossible to resist her. Come down & meet perfect Panini today - she is going to make someone very happy!If you'd like to meet Panini and all of her 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). Have questions? Call (603) 772-2921 ext. 110 or email info@nhspca.org today. Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 24.2 Age: 3yrs 0mths 2wks

Moose

Labrador Retriever/Coonhound

Male, Young

Stratham, NH

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Moose- a 6-month-old Labrador Retriever mix with a big personality and even bigger energy. He is a smart young pup who already knows how to sit and is fully house trained. Moose prefers being out and about rather than spending time in a crate, and he does best in a home where he can stay active and engaged. Like many puppies, he is not a big fan of trips to the vet, but with patience and positive reinforcement, he continues to learn and grow. Moose has lived with men and women of all ages and does well with adults. Due to his high energy level and playful nature, he may be a bit overwhelming for some younger children, so a home that understands puppy behavior would be ideal. He takes a little time to warm up to new visitors, but once he feels comfortable, he shows his affectionate and playful side. Moose does not have experience living with cats or other dogs, but he shows playful interest and curiosity when passing other dogs on walks. He would thrive in an active home that can provide him with consistent training, exercise, and structure to help him continue developing into a well-mannered companion. Does Moose sound like the match for you? Stop by the Adoption Center during open hours 11am-4pm Thursday-Tuesday (closed Wednesdays). Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Black Weight: 27.2 Age: 0yrs 6mths 1wks

Quick Facts Age: 5yrs old Kids: great with kids Dogs: great with large dogs Cats: unknown Training: could use an obedience refresher 1. My previous owner sadly passed away and some kind neighbors have been caring for me but they needed some help so IDGSR stepped in. I'm in the best foster home waiting to be adopted! 2.

I am great around little kids which basically gives me unicorn status in the Malinois world. If you have littles running around at home, with proper introductions we will be best friends. 5. I am extremely intelligent & will learn anything you can teach me. I already know several commands but it would be good to do an obedience refresher. 6.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Nala is a five year old lab that came to us very pregnant. The owners didnt want to deal with her or her pups. All of her pups went home in early January. Nala just was spayed and now is her turn. Nala is a silly goofy yellow lab. We did dna on one of her pups please see last photo for the pups lineage. Please visit our website for more info on our adoption process and adoption application www.barkdogfarm.org Please be sure all family members are in agreement to adopting and your family is ready to bring dog home now. Applicants must be at least 21 years old. We do not have blanket criteria regarding adoptions. Each applicant is considered based on many things including but not limited to breed experience, yard ( visible fence preferred) and other animals in home. We try to avoid dogs with same sex households as pyrs typically do not do well with the same sex. A volunteer will be in touch to discuss your application and the dog to determine if it is a good match. Your vet and two references will be called. A virtual home visit done. Once approved a meet and greet at the farm will take place. If all are in agreement an adoption contract will be signed and adoption fee paid. Adoption fees for dogs are $500. for adults over 12 months, $600 for puppies 12 months and younger as well as small breed dogs. Fees for seniors, special needs or harder to place dogs will be determined by our Board of Directors. All dogs will be altered when adoption is finalized. This may involve young puppies be given until a certain age to be altered. All animals are up to date on age appropriate core vaccines, negative for parasites, heart worm and lyme tested if 6 months or older, microchipped and have a current health certificate. Proof of a basic obedience course completed is part of our adoption contract within six months.
