Story
Our poor girl Salem is still waiting for a home after 8 long years. Though she can be shy at first, she longs to be someone’s loyal guardian, hiking partner, and best friend. Despite her severe hip dysplasia, she’s very active and LOVES to run. She’s so playful and full of life. Her inner puppy comes out when she gets to play with toys! Salem also loves cooler weather, though she can deal with summer heat by playing in the water. She’s great with other dogs, and loves to play with them! She’s amazing on and off leash. Salem is our special girl and we’d love to see her in a home where she can live comfortably and happily for her forever.

Story
Black Dog and Mystery need a home where their special bond will be accepted with open arms! They are a bonded pair that must stay together! Mystery, as her name implies, baffles us with her odd ways and behaviors. Though she loves our company and spending quality time with us, she doesn’t like physical affection and is terrified in new situations. Black Dog is her rock. They spend every moment together. Black Dog is a lazy guy, though he loves leisurely walks and exploring. Mystery is a bit more active and playful— she LOVES playing fetch! Black Dog does need a healthier diet and exercise balance that is hard to require in a shelter. We are trying though! Though Mystery is odd, she’s such a great dog and will make you laugh! These two have a lot of love to give and are waiting for their home. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Black Dog and Mystery, please email wynnefoa@gmail.com We'd prefer them to be the only dogs in the home just because they share such a strong bond!

Story
Meet Banshee — a 2.5-year-old German Shepherd with a BIG heart and even bigger love to give! 🐺 Banshee was surrendered due to a divorce — through no fault of her own. This amazing girl deserves a family who will never cast her aside again and will see her for the loyal, joyful companion she truly is. True to her breed, Banshee has lots of energy and absolutely lives for her adventures! She loves: 🌿 Outside “snifaris” 🚶‍♀️ Long walks 🧠 Sniff & find enrichment games Banshee does great with other dogs and especially loves a good game of tug-of-war. She is also 💯 house-potty trained — a big win! Banshee knows basic commands like sit, paw, and down, but when excitement hits (looking at you, UPS driver with cookies 🍪), all bets are off. She will need a committed adopter willing to invest time in basic obedience training to help her channel that enthusiasm. And yes… she will jump, hug, and kiss you whether you’re ready or not. Banshee is a powerhouse of love with absolutely no shame — she wants ALL the affection and gives it right back tenfold. ✨ If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, active best friend and are ready to put in a little training, Banshee will be your ride-or-die. 📍 Acton, Maine 📩 https://pprorg.com/ 📣 Please share — her forever family is out there, we just need to find them. Adoption fee is $475 If you do not hear from us within 7 days please email passion4petsrescue@gmail.com

Story
You won't find a more handsome, intelligent or silly boy than Sidney. He is about 3.5 years old and weighs 84 lbs. Sidney is a very intelligent fellow, he learns quicky and is anxious to please. He will do well with a job and/or a lot of stimulation, long walks and hikes. He will do well with an experienced dog person. Sidney loves meeting new people. He has done well with large dogs he has met, however he is would not be good with small dogs or cats. Sidney does show some barrier reactivity, however, when the barrier is removed (whether it is a crate, fence or car window) he shows absolutely no issues. Because Sidney likes a lot of activity, he will need a securely fenced yard (must be a physical fence, not an electric or invisible system) He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped and on monthly treatment for flea/ticks and heartworm prevention Sidney is currently located in the Middle TN area but transport is included in the adoption fee for approved adopter If you are interested in Sidney, email cox_ann@bellsouth.net for an application
