Story
Are you looking for a highly intelligent partner that loves to learn new things, is loyal and not only likes being told what to do but needs that? You won’t find that kind of love on Tinder, but don’t worry we’ve got you covered! Knox may just be the man you’ve been missing in your life. At just 10 months old, this guy is craving some love and stability in his new home. He has spent the last month in a training program, and has improved in some areas and straight up excelled in most. He is incredibly smart, making him a super fun dude for an experienced handler. He learns new skills at a rapid pace and is already leash trained, treadmill trained, crate trained, and is nailing his obedience training. We are always coming up with new tricks to teach him because he craves that mind work! He loves playing with other dogs and even showed great potential for living with a dog savvy cat if given the guidance he needs. He loves playing with dogs so much in fact that we are requiring another dog for him in his new home. His only area of weakness is his insecurity with strangers. We have made great strides in this area with regular controlled outings, proper leash skills and confidence building exercises. With the right handler, we truly believe that the sky's the limit for Knox! We would love to find his person so we can work hand in hand with his training so he continues to excel and becomes the best dog that we know he can be. He will do best in a calm, adult-only home with at least one other dog friend. If you are looking for that special someone to create a strong bond with, look no further and fill out your application to meet Knox today at www.pottersangelsrescue.org

Story
If you are looking for a new buddy in this world, look no further. Harley is officially available for adoption and looking for his forever. He is a 1 yr old, neutered male collie mix who had a rough start in life and is looking for that person he can attach to. He loves to go for hikes and walks and walks nicely on his transitional leash. He is a friend to all dogs he meets, big and small. He would love to have another dog friend to play with, but could also do well as a solo dog. He is house trained and crate trained and well-behaved aside from being a bit jumpy when he is excited to see his person. He would do best in an adult-only home as he can get mouthy and jumpy when overexcited. He loves to go for car rides and really do just about anything with his person. Right now, he is staying at Four Paws Inn in Barre where he has made lots of friends, but it's not the same as having a home. We are looking for a foster or adoptive home at this time so he can get the love and attention he has always deserved. If you are interested in meeting Harley, please submit a foster or adoption application at www.pottersangelsrescue.org

Story
Megan (aka the one who steals slippers!) is a 12 week old Pit mix puppy looking for her forever home. This spunky black and white, with a touch of brindle, girl is just as sweet as they get. Like all puppies, she will need loving guidance to become her best self. She does great with dogs, kids and cats, however her puppy teeth are sharp! Megan is a very good listener and strives to please. She loves to play and explore. And, she is THE best at snuggling. Fill out an application at pottersangelsrescue.org/adopt. I just bet she won’t last long ❤️

Story
Meet Mario! He’s a 1.5 yr old neutered male lab mix looking for a constant companion. Mario is a sweet natured, obedient boy that has some unique qualities and is looking for that perfect fit! He was raised in a shelter setting and although he struggles with being left home alone, he thrives in the shelter environment. He crates easily, is calm and quiet in his kennel and loves to play with all the other dogs at the facility. However, in a home he gets very anxious about being crated and left alone. He’s a pack animal that does not like being separated from his pack, which is difficult to find in the busy human world, but we know his home is out there! If you think you could fit his need for constant companionship, fill out an application at www.pottersangelsrescue.org to come meet him today. You will not be disappointed!

Story
Do you prefer brown eyes or blue eyes? Well, Buster Brown has a little something to make everyone happy. Buster is outgoing, medium energy and loves playing with his pals at doggie day care. He does not like to share his toys with his friends though, so he needs play time with toys to be a solo activity with his people only. He’s smart and very food motivated, so he has been quick to learn the routines in his foster home and he thrives with this structure. We think he would do best in a home with older children or no children to ensure his home has the time and energy to provide him with the structure he needs to be his best self! Buster is about 2 years old and 65 pounds. If you would like to consider meeting him, you can submit an application at pottersangelsrescue.org/adopt
