Story
Simon is a super friendly, lovable dog. He is four years old and has been with me since he was a little puppy. He recently went through a two week long "board and train" training to help with his recall and leash pulling. He loves all people and all animals. He can still be a little jumpy so I wouldn't recommend him for a family with small children only because he will likely knock them over inadvertently. The only issue is he is very possessive of food and some toys. I think he really needs to be in a one dog household. If a piece of food falls on the floor it can quickly escalate to an all out fight with another dog. As long as there is no food or toys to be possessive about, he is a very submissive dog. With dogs his own size or larger he rolls right over on his back. I unfortunately need to give him up due to the food issue with other dogs.

Story
Odin, a plott hound from New England, is seeking a new home, as his owner is facing severe medical issues that require relocation for medical care & can no longer care for him. ISO a foster or adopter. Hes a great family dog! Plotts are good farm dogs tooUnfortunately, she has recently been diagnosed with cancer and undergone multiple surgeries, leaving her physically unable to care for him. Due to my own living arrangements, I cannot take him into my home, and we have no other family or friends available to help. Given the critical nature of my mother's illness and her urgent inability to keep him, this has become an immediate situation. We are seeking an urgent intake or foster placement to ensure he transitions safely to a good home as soon as possible.Odins a very sweet, friendly dog. Hes been around kids ages infant-11 years old & loves them! Hes very laid back & adores snuggles! Seeking his furever home 🏡

Story
Remmy is an affectionate people oriented dog who loves to be with his person. He will not leave your side and is ready to go on any adventure with you, days at the lake, a trip to Dunkin (don’t forget his pup cup or he will let you know what you forgot). He has been a wonderful 11 year old companion and he needs someone who is used to large powerful breeds and needs a good active lifestyle. Remmy is up to date on all his shots and just needs to find his person to take him through his retirement.

Story
Gretel **Currently Available for Adoption!** Good with Kids and Dogs! Meet Gretel! 4 mos./21 lb./Female/Terrier Mix Name: Gretel Age: 4 months Weight: 21 lbs Breed: Terrier Mix Status: Spunky little sidekick seeking lifelong adventure buddy 🐾 ​ About Me: Hi! I’m Gretel — equal parts playful puppy, cuddle bug, and professional eye-contact giver. Seriously… have you seenthese eyes? I’ve already mastered the “look up at you like you’re my whole world” move, and it works every time. I’m a happy-go-lucky girl who loves being near my people, exploring new things, and bouncing through life with puppy enthusiasm. I’m curious, affectionate, and always ready to join whatever you’re doing — whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a backyard zoomie session, or curling up nearby after a long day. I’m still young, so I’m learning all the important puppy stuff, but I’m smart, eager to please, and excited to grow up with a family of my very own. ​ Best Qualities: • Sweet, affectionate, and people-oriented • Playful puppy energy with a cuddly side • Expressive little face that melts hearts instantly • Curious and eager to learn • Loyal “shadow dog” potential ​ My Ideal Match: • A family ready for puppy fun and training • Humans who want an affectionate best friend • Someone who appreciates goofy moments and endless love • A home excited to help me grow into the amazing dog I’m meant to be ​ Deal Breakers: • Personal space? Never heard of it. I prefer “supervised at all times” • Will absolutely try to convince you that every walk is an adventure movie • If you leave socks unattended, I may assume they’re puppy property • Looking for a quiet, boring house? I’m probably not your girl — I bring puppy energy, laughter, and a little bit of chaos 💕 Fun Fact: My ears haven’t fully decided what they’re doing yet… and honestly? That’s part of my charm. 💕
