Story
Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: Unknown, likely yesGood with kids: YesCrate trained: MostlyHouse Trained: MostlySay hello to Skye — This happy, social pup has a heart as big as the open sky, ears that could catch a breeze, and a forecast calling for lots of love. Skye thrives on attention and will gladly soak up every cuddle, scratch, and compliment you have to offer. Skye loves stretching her legs on walks, making a splash in the water, and playing with her toys—basically anything that lets her spread her wings and have fun!She’s super friendly with other dogs and always ready for playtime. She’s also done wonderfully with kids ages five and up, making her a great fit for a family home, though she’d soar just as happily in almost any loving environment. She hasn’t met a cat yet, but with her sunny disposition and friendly nature, there’s reason to believe she could adjust well with proper introductions.As a young pup, Skye is still learning the ropes and is currently working on crate training and house training—but she’s making great progress every day. She enjoys her daily strolls and walks nicely on a leash, proving she’s already headed in the right direction.If you’re searching for a playful, affectionate companion who’s ready to brighten your days, look no further—Skye’s the limit, and she’s ready to take off straight into your heart.Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted.

Story
That face…♥️ how could you not fall in love? This handsome 1-year-old boy, hasn’t had the best start in life. Adopted at 7 months old, he went to a home that wasn’t prepared for the needs of a young, under-socialized German Shepherd. Without proper exposure or guidance, he spent much of his time isolated, living mostly in a basement. Deke is doing so well since he’s arrived in our rescue and already beginning to blossom. He’s warming up to our volunteers and showing us just how sweet he really is. He’s still a bit unsure at times, which makes sense given his limited exposure early on, but we’re already seeing his confidence grow. He loves exploring on his walks and has discovered just how fun toys can be. Every day he’s making progress and it’s so rewarding to watch. Deke is still young and has so much potential. With the right family one that will continue to gently expose him to the world and build his confidence he will thrive. A calm, easygoing, confident dog in the home would be a wonderful bonus to help guide him. This sweet boy deserves a second chance at the life he’s been missing. Please reach out to us @ (978) 443-2202 if you think you could be Deke’s second chance.

Story
Meet Roxie… This beautiful girl is really starting to come out of her shell, and her sweet personality is shining brighter every day. Roxie previously lived in a home with six children, ages 7 to 17. She especially loved the older kids, and enjoyed playing with them, going for walks, and of course, snuggling up close. Sadly, through no fault of her own, Roxie lost her home when her family’s landlord would not allow a German Shepherd on the property. Roxie did live with a small French dog and they got along well, but as she’s matured, we would want to carefully evaluate how she would do with a smaller dog now. We think after all she’s been through she would benefit as being the only dog in the home. Roxie would do best with an active family familiar with the breed… one that’s excited to continue taking her on lots of adventures, exposing her to new experiences, and building on her training. She walks nicely on leash and is a very well-behaved girl who just needs a family to help her keep growing and gaining confidence. Roxie is a loving, gentle soul who is ready for a fresh start with a family who will give her the stability and love she deserves.
