Story
Rhea is a great dog. She was purchased from a breeder (not my first choice) during Covid. She did a great job being the “scary dog” for my kids when they were young. Unfortunately life circumstances have changed and I can’t give her the exercise she needs and it’s in her best interest to find her a new home. She’s never had a problem with kids, other dogs, etc. she has been boarded and never had a complaint from them on aggression or otherwise. She has formal training, with a shock collar. She knows sit, stay, down. no food guarding problems. Just looking to find her a home that she can stretch her legs and be someone’s best friend.

Story
Gally (Galaxy) is a playful, energetic, and snuggly 5 year old shepherd mix. She is 86 lbs, up to date on all shots and is spayed. She loves walks on & off leash, swimming, playing fetch, and cuddling on the couch. In a perfect world, she would spend her days outside playing and her nights curled up next to her owner getting tons of pets. She responds well to commands such as sit, stay, lay down, go, in, up, and down. Gally gets along well with most other dogs, particularly males. She is standoffish to new people at first, but as soon as you play or throw a ball, she is instantly your best friend.Gally is timid of loud, sudden noise and will often seek to run and hide when hearing things such as fireworks. She will growl at new people, but has never had a single instance of aggression toward anyone.We would not be trying to rehome our beloved dog, but have 2 small kids at home and simply cannot give Gally the life she deserves. She is perfect pup for someone looking for companionship.

Story
For Valentine's Day, the Friends of the Taunton Animal Care Facility will cover Bella and Chloe's adoption fee from 2/7 to 2/21. Come and visit Bella and Chloe during the shelter visiting hours and make this Valentine's Day a special day for them! Bella is a German shepherd amstaff mix. She was born on 9/11/21. She is spayed and very healthy. Belle is very affectionate and is good with other dogs including smaller ones. Not a dog for a home with a cat. She loves going for rides and swimming, hiking and generally enjoys being very active. Bella is great with children but can be overwhelming for younger children because she loves to give kisses. She's always been fed high end dog food such as Taste of the Wild, Fromm brand, and Stella and Chewy. She's also used to having somebody cook for her such as green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes and chicken. If interested call Taunton Animal Shelter at 508-822-1463 and ask for Rob Shelter Manager

Story
Meet Calliope!Are you looking for a sweet, chill, older lady to share your space with? Calliope is your gal. She's the kind of older lady that carries candy in her purse and gives you money every time she sees you, not the kind that yells at cashiers and waitstaff...just FYI.Calliope just turned seven years old and she's about 46lbs. Records from her previous owner have her listed as a German Shepherd mix - mixed with what, we don't know, but she's got an award-winning smile and perfect white socks on her front feet.Calliope is a timid girl at first but it's understandable - if a dog isn't used a shelter setting, it can be overwhelming. It doesn't take much for her to warm up though and once she does, she's a love that has no problem rubbing all of her itchy spots all over you...and she has a lot of those. We're working on getting her allergies under control and they seem to be seasonal/environmental rather than based on diet/food.Again, Calliope is just a chill, mature lady looking for a snugglebuddy. She likes her walks and likes investigating all of the different smells. She does well with other dogs but prefers to sort of do her own things. She previously lived with cats and did well with them too...again, just sort of did her own thing. We would prefer kids 12+ just because we don't know if she's ever been around smaller kids.She hasn't shown much interest in toys while she's been here but that could change once she gets more comfy with her surroundings and all the new people...or she could just be a cute, decorative couch potato that rubs her face on you for scratchies.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application.

Story
🐾 MEET BARAN! 🐾 This handsome guy is looking for a new home, and we know that with the right patient and dedicated family, Baran is going to make an incredible companion. ❤️ Baran is approximately 4.5 years old, 60 lbs, and full grown. Without a DNA test, we can never say for certain what his breed mix is, but our best guess is Lab x Shepherd, possibly with some Black Mouth Cur mixed in as well. 🏡 A Little About Baran’s Story Baran is actually a familiar face to us! We originally adopted him out as a puppy in 2022, and he has spent the last several years being very loved by his family. Unfortunately, due to changes in their living circumstances, they are unable to bring Baran with them. This is certainly not the outcome his family wanted, and they absolutely love and adore him. We will be working closely with them to find Baran the right home where he can continue the next chapter of his life. ❤️ What Is Baran Like? His family describes Baran as a medium-energy and loving!
