Story
We rescued Zoe 4 years ago and truly love her. Unfortunately things have changed in that we now have grandchildren and we don't feel comfortable with Zoe around young children. Zoe has become very protective of me and doesn't like to share me. She is very well trained but has that initial anxiety reaction to people and other animals.

German Shepherd Dog

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Willow! This bouncy girl loves playing with her toys and getting pets from her people. Willow can be exuberant, and has been working on her manners, so her adopters should be excited to continue working with her using positive reinforcement. Any children in the home should be able to assist with her training. Willow has been conflicted about meeting other dogs here at the shelter, so would likely do best as an only dog to start. She could potentially do well with a dog that is tolerant and able to ignore her while she settles in. A dog meet at the shelter is required for any potential canine siblings.

Story
Juno is 1 of 4 siblings that we saved from the shelter. All three of his siblings have been adopted but Juno is still waiting! It is absolutely WILD that this boy is still in his foster home. He is an absolutely amazing family dog and currently lives with younger and older children, multiple dogs, and a tortoise! Juno is medium to high energy, crate trained, and walks beautifully on leash. He is super easy to train, loves to run around with his foster siblings, and has a calm and adaptable demeanor. He is the whole package and there is no way that he should be growing up in foster. Inquire about Juno today!

Story
Maple is a beautiful girl with lots of love to give. While shy and unsure at first, she will warm up in time. Maple is everything she is supposed to be, she is intelligent, curious, hardworking and protective of her people. Maple was born to adventure. She loves exploring new places and has even driven (well, rode!) across the country! She is a CA girl. ☀️ Maple loves, and when I say “loves”, I mean LOVES, a good belly rub. Maple will be five on October 29, 2026. Maple would like to be the only pet in the house. I know, diva! She should not be around cats or children. If you need an adventure buddy with the most beautiful brown eyes, Maple is your girl. As much as it hurts, we are rehoming Maple because she does not get along with our other pets. We have completed training with behavioral professionals and she cannot be trusted around cats or children. Please reach out with any questions. The adoption fee will go to a charity of your choice.

Maya

German Shepherd Dog Mutt

Female, Young
Lynnfield, MA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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
🚨 URGENT — SCHEDULED TO BE KILLED! 🚨 💔 Rex Is Out of Time and Out of Chances 💔 Rex came into the shelter as a stray, and somehow, after all he’s been through, he’s still one of the sweetest souls here. This handsome boy just wants to be loved. He walks beautifully on leash, greets everyone with gentle eyes, and enjoys the company of calm dogs. You can see the hope in his face — he’s trying so hard to hold on. 💔 Shelter life is no place for a dog this loving. He deserves to feel safe, to curl up on a warm bed, and to finally belong. 🐾 Rex is friendly, gentle, and ready for his forever family. He just needs a chance… and time is running out Please don’t let Rex be another name on a list. PLEASE HELP — his life depends on it. 🆘💔 TEXT KAREN 4136298152
