Story
Willow - Sweet & Mellow - potty trained, spayed, vaccinated and good with everyone! A delight!! Meet this beautiful girl who is finally getting the second chance she deserves! At approximately 3–4 years old and 50 pounds, this sweet girl has a story that will break your heart, but her future is looking so bright! She was found abandoned in the Dorado area of Puerto Rico, heartbreakingly skinny and desperate for someone to love her. When rescuers arrived, she couldn't wait to be saved. It was almost as if she knew her life was finally about to change. Since being rescued, she has gained much-needed weight, grown in confidence, and blossomed into the most wonderful dog! She is incredibly gentle, intelligent, calm, and SO loving! She gets along beautifully with other dogs and does wonderfully with everyone she meets. She has such a sweet, peaceful personality and truly just wants to love and be loved. While she's come such a long way, we know her past wasn't always kind to her. She's a sensitive soul who deserves a home filled with patience, encouragement, and gentle voices. We would love to find her a peaceful, loving family where she'll never have to worry about being yelled at or treated harshly again. She's not a difficult dog or one who needs a lot of work. In fact, she's quite the opposite! She's a wonderful, easygoing companion who just deserves people who will treat her with the same kindness she gives so freely. She will be fully vetted before adoption and is ready to find the family who will love her forever. After a life that started with abandonment and uncertainty, all we want for this beautiful girl is a lifetime of soft beds, gentle hands, kind words, and unconditional love. Willow is currently in PR and is available for FaceTime meet and greets! She will be sent to a home in the continental US (adoption fee covers transport) whenever a foster opens or she finds her forever home.

Story
Meet Sadie Sadie is a beautiful young Dutch Shepherd with a striking black-and-brindle coat and a sweet, playful personality. Sadie is a friendly, energetic girl who absolutely loves other dogs. She plays with multiple dogs every day and enjoys the companionship of both male and female dogs. Her ideal home would have another playful, dog-friendly companion who can be her buddy and playmate on a daily basis. While Sadie is very people-friendly, we believe having a canine friend would bring her the greatest joy.Sadie is fully crate-trained and has never had an accident in her crate. She has had limited experience walking on a leash, but she did well when given the opportunity. We don't know how Sadie feels about cats or children, as her foster does not have either cats or small children at home. Sadie would do best with a family willing to give her patience, structure, exercise, and plenty of opportunities to be part of everyday family life.Sadie is a wonderful dog who has so much potential. She deserves a home where she can finally experience what it's like to be someone's cherished companion. If you're looking for a playful, dog-loving girl who would thrive with a canine best friend, Sadie may be the perfect match for you. All known information about the animal is listed above.

Story
Hi! I’m Dutch! 🐾 I’m a sweet, loving girl looking for my next adventure and, most importantly, a family to call my own. I love being around my people, getting attention, playing, and of course settling in for some quality relaxation time. I have a big personality and an even bigger heart. I’m loyal, affectionate, playful, and I have plenty of love to give. What I’m really looking for is a safe and happy home with people who will include me in their lives, spend time with me, and love me just as much as I’ll love them. My family wants to make sure I find the right home, because I’m pretty special to them. I’m hoping there’s someone out there who will look at my face and think, “Yep… that’s my girl.” ❤️ Love, Dutch 🐾

Story
Meet Blue!This big, handsome boy is a certified staff favorite! He loves cuddling, belly rubs, and having all the treats he can get his paws on. He`s friendly with other pups and loves attention from people. He`s not a big fan of being alone, can be a little vocal, and would like to live somewhere with minimal stairs, so no apartments please! An adopter with German Shepherd/ big dog experience is a plus. If Blue sounds like the boy for you, come meet him at our Boston location.Blue is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.For more information on Blue or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.

Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: Unknown, likely yesGood with kids: Yes, dog-savvy kidsCrate trained: YesHouse trained: Yes Hercules is a sweet, confident boy with ears that stop everyone in their tracks and a personality just as impressive. He is a medium energy guy who loves playing with his foster siblings, going for walks, and then napping on his doggy bed or the couch when the day is done. He would be a wonderful fit for just about any home ready to give this lovable boy all the attention he deserves.Hercules has not met a stranger yet and runs over to greet every person he meets with pure excitement. He loves playing with other dogs and would do great with or without a canine sibling. He has not been around cats but his friendly and social nature suggests he would likely do fine with proper introductions. He is wonderful with kids and a great fit for a family of any kind.Hercules is a fast learner who is food and toy motivated, making training a genuine pleasure. He is fully crate trained and house trained on a consistent daily routine. He greets with great enthusiasm and is doing much better about keeping all four paws on the floor with a simple reminder. He walks well on leash, occasionally pulling but correcting easily with a little guidance.This big-eared, big-hearted boy has so much love and enthusiasm to bring into a forever home. Could Hercules be the one for you?Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line.
