Story
Meet Wren! At just a year old, he was taken in as a stray here in Williamstown, VT and has now been vetted and is ready for his new home! Wren loves to play with other dogs his size and is very friendly with people. He is a hunting breed with strong instincts and should not be around small animals. He is crate trained and house trained. He is an adolescent and could use some training on the basics, such as leash walking, but he is a smart cookie and learns things quickly. He would do best in a home with older children, over 10, or no children as he can be a bit rambunctious at times. If you think you might be a good home for Wren, please submit an adoption application at www.pottersangelsrescue.org You will not be disappointed!

Story
Meet Bentley! Bentley is a 4-5 year old mixed breed dog. Bentley is house broken, crate trained, and loves car rides. He has yet to meet a stranger and loves a good snuggle on the couch. Bentley is very smart, is working on perfecting his leash skills, and is dog friendly. NO CATS for him though! Bentley LOVES kids. He gets pretty excited to see people and while he calms fairly quickly, very small children may not be able to handle all the love he wants to share at first, so probably no toddlers for this guy just yet. Fill out an application at pottersangelsrescue.org/adopt for sweet Bentley.

Story
Mouse is almost 6 months old and looking for his forever home. He has shown great strides, building confidence and he would love to be in a home where he can continue to grow. Fearful dogs, like Mouse, crave a home with guidance and structure. We think Mouse would do best in an adult only home and would benefit with having another friendly, easy going dog in his new home. If you think you could offer Mouse a good home, fill out an application at pottersangelsrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Oscar, is as regal as one of the statuettes that are awarded by the Academy. This Oscar is a stately 3 year old, 70 lb, Ridgeback mix. He is good with all dogs he has met ranging from 25 lbs and up. We don’t know how he is with cats. He is left loose at home with other dogs and is very well mannered. Oscar doesn’t do well with young kids and can take a minute to warm up to men. He is a very nice boy. Fill out an application at pottersangelsrescue.org/adopt for this Academy Award winner.

Story
Bonded pair in need of a home! Boomer (black) and Grady (white) have been inseparable for years and are now looking for a new home together. This may be tough to find, but it’s not impossible and we are going to try everything we can to keep them together. Boomer is 7 yrs and Grady is 6 yrs. Both are neutered males. Boomer is happy go lucky and friends with all he meets. Grady is a bit more nervous, but relaxes much more when his big brother is with him. They’re both well-mannered boys and friendly towards other dogs. Grady is a bit more reserved and tentative when meeting new dogs, but was much more relaxed once we added his brother to the yard. Boomer has been Grady’s rock for years and would be devastated without him. They’re both great with kids too. If you would be interested in meeting them or hearing more about them, please submit an adoption application at www.PottersAngelsRescue.org or email Heather at heather@pottersangelsrescue.org They’re a very sweet pair and we are hoping to keep them together!
