Story
It breaks my heart to do this; I no longer have the time that Valentina deserves. She is a beautiful, active, and very lovable German Shepherd who needs a home where she can receive the attention, exercise, and care she needs.Valentina is house-trained and does well in the home. She does need professional training, especially with leash walking, and she can sometimes become overly excited and difficult to manage. However, she is a sweet, playful, and affectionate dog who loves people and has so much potential with the right owner.We are looking to rehome her as soon as possible to a loving family or individual who can provide her with the time, training, and care that she deserves. If you think you can give Valentina a forever home, please reach out for more information.

Story
Meet Maya!! She is a sweet, loving 1 year and 4 months GS mix. Maya loves to play fetch, go on walks, sit by your side, and just please you! Maya is extremely intelligent and able to learn a new command/trick easily with consistency and rewards. We unfortunately feel that an apartment complex after living in a very large house would not be best for Maya as she is used to having her own space and yard. She plays well with other dogs her size, but enjoys any form of company! Maya's temperament overall is docile and inquisitive. She loves to stick her nose right into your face to let you know she is interested in what you are doing! Please only serious inquiries as this will be hard for us to do as is, so we'd like to only entertain serious adopters.

Story
Beaker’s Bio from his foster Location: Jamaica Plain Beaker lost his  mom just a day after he was born, but he has been learning and growing with the help of his foster families and littermates ever since! He is currently living with a patient older lab, who has been teaching him how to play. The city noises still spook him a bit, but his comfort zone is expanding every day. Bikes are still very confusing, but there is no dog or human that he doesn’t want to say hi to. Name: Beaker Born: 3/24 Diet: Solid food Training: Working on potty training and getting used to city noises; crate trained; not putting things in his mouth Personality: Playful and friendly Ideal home: Lots of attention and cuddles!
