Story
Meet Toffee. Toffee is 1-2 years old, and is petite, weighing in at just over 30 pounds. She was dumped at a high-kill shelter in Southern California when she was just a puppy. She was saved from the euthanasia list by a la rescue in Southern California, and she has lived most of her life in a kennel. We would prefer to find her a couch and a bed! Her brother was recently adopted, and now it's Toffee's turn. She is being fostered locally in Massachusetts in a home with large & small dogs, cats, and older children (11-15). She is good with men and women, and all the dogs. However, she displays fear aggression in unfamiliar situations, and will growl and snap at strangers, especially younger children. We are looking for an experienced home for Toffee. She needs someone who will give her the structure and security she needs to flourish, and who is patient and won't expect too much of her too quickly. She's gone to training and knows simple tricks, and is housebroken.

Story
MEET SAVANNAH! - I am in a foster home, please contact the shelter to meet me! Savannah is a gorgeous combination of a doe and a shepherd: alert, bright, agile, and food driven. A wonderful companion for experienced dog people and/or a family with teens. In the morning, grab your coffee, a bucket of balls, and gear up to practice your pitches in your fenced in yard, she is an expert catcher. Be sure to alternate your arms so your muscles stay symmetrical. If you run back into the house for more coffee and take too long, she will cleverly open the screen door to make sure you get an extra big cup. Fill up your fanny pack with treats and lace up your hikers for sniff walks in the woods or on quiet roads. She is nervous around new people she meets along the way and likes her space. While she is reactive toward other dogs when on walks, she has had success meeting and playing with one dog in a supervised, contained, setting. Don’t worry, she is wonderfully cuddly, playful, and house-trained. She will curl up in a quiet spot in your home and enjoy music, sound machines, and the low hum of fans or air conditioners. She’ll sense when you’re stressed while watching an intense show and will check on you to ensure you’re okay. Sometimes she’ll lean in further to get as close to you as possible to help your body regulate. Sav has been with two long-term foster volunteers and they are looking forward to supporting her success in her loving home. Check out her fetching skills! Savannah is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY however, we are unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.For more information on this or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston please visit us during our adoption center hours: Wednesdays-Sundays from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, Tuesdays by appointment only from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, closed Mondays & Holidays.For information about our adoption process

Story
Introducing.... drum roll please....dadadada... BACON!! This energetic, fun-loving boy will always keep you moving. Bacon is a German Shepard mix that we rescued a couple of years ago as he was at a high kill shelter and we know how that goes for so many loving pets. With intentions to rehome him sooner after saving him, he has just been so much fun and a wonderful friend to our other rescues, but now with a growing family we just don't have the time to give to Bacon with all his boundless energy and hoping to find that loving home that can give this boy a run for his money....literally run run! Bacon always loves to play ball and fetch with any kind of ball you can find, especially a nice football or soccer ball, that he will likely POP!. Bacon just looooves to chase little animals, including little dogs, so he is suited for only medium to larger dogs if you have other dogs at home. And of course he is such a snuggle bug on the couch, and he will happily take over your entire bed!!

Story
Ellie is a sweet, incredibly smart 7yo, 60lb German Shepherd mix who has been part of my family for six years. Her story began in Arkansas, where she was found frightened in a live trap and at risk of being euthanized. She was extremely fearful when rescued, but after years of training, patience, and love, she has grown into an affectionate, playful, well-trained companion with a huge personality. Ellie loves learning, knows many commands, and even communicates using buttons to tell you what she wants! She is still a sensitive soul and can be frightened by loud, unpredictable noises. She spent most of her life thriving in a quiet suburban home, but after moving to Boston, it became clear that city life is stressful for her. I’m looking for a loving home in a quieter suburban or rural setting. Ideally, I’d love an open adoption where we can stay in touch, and I’d be happy to remain part of Ellie’s support system, including helping with dog-sitting when needed.

Story
Balki’s story could have ended very differently for him when he was picked up as a stray and brought to a busy, municipal shelter. At the time he was suffering from kennel cough, and with the shelter overflowing with other animals, he was a dog with limited time and an uncertain future. Fortunately, he was able to go to another shelter who eventually adopted him out to a loving owner. Since his adoption, Balki has been a loyal and loving companion to his owner and the family’s resident female dog. But over the past year, the owner’s circumstances changed and the owner came to the difficult and heartbreaking decision to rehome him. When meeting him, we knew he was a special dog who was deserving of a bright future! Happily we found a wonderful foster that provided Balki the time and care he needed to prepare for his eventual forever home. At almost six years of age, Balki is at the stage where he’s young enough to enjoy physical activity and play with his people including walks, hiking, playing ball (ball is life!), going on car rides, and building on the training his former owner gave him. He’s also more than happy after a busy day to just relax with his people – happily chewing on a bone, playing with a squeaky toy, or just laying about watching over the household. His foster mom said he loved spending time in her office and while she worked, Balki and the family’s resident female GSD would lay close and nap. Balki’s foster parents introduced him to their extended family including adults and children. Balki especially enjoyed meeting the kids and loved playing in the backyard with one of the older children – more ball playing! Balki is especially good on leash and walks calmly on a loose leash next to his GSD packmate. He’s an affectionate dog and loves physical interaction, extending a paw to encourage a pet or two. Balki is looking for a home that would enjoy and value his steady personality, his love of the outdoors, his calm demeanor around people and other dogs, and his joyful, silly playfulness – especially when a ball is part of the play!

Story
Meet Kiba Kiba’s journey began overseas when she was a puppy in Rwanda, where her owner first welcomed her into the family before bringing her to the United States. Over the years, Kiba has been a loyal companion, but life circumstances have changed. After planning to relocate to the South and raising two young children, her owner found that she no longer had the time to provide Kiba with the attention and companionship she deserves. Wanting what is best for her beloved dog, she reached out to GSRNE to help find Kiba the loving home she needs. At 9 years old, Kiba is the perfect blend of adventure partner and devoted companion. Calm and well-mannered in the home, she is happiest simply being near her people, whether you’re relaxing in the living room or spending time outdoors. She loves affection, enjoys being part of the family, and has a quiet, gentle presence that makes her an easy housemate. Fully crate-trained and respectful of household routines, Kiba has all the wonderful qualities that come with maturity. When it’s time to head outside, Kiba is always ready for an adventure. She walks beautifully on leash, responds well to commands, and loves exploring with her people. Her favorite outings involve water—whether it’s a trip to the beach, a stroll along a river, or splashing around on a warm day. She also enjoys car rides and is always eager to be your co-pilot. Highly intelligent and eager to please, Kiba is easy to train and enjoys learning new things. She does have a natural prey drive and enjoys keeping an eye on squirrels, rabbits, and other small critters, but she is responsive to her handler and redirects well. On walks, she is generally content to ignore other dogs as long as they do the same. Kiba is looking for a family that will appreciate the loyalty, companionship, and steady temperament that only a mature dog can offer. She still has plenty of life, love, and adventures ahead of her and is hoping to find a forever home where she can once again be a cherished member of the family. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend with a kind heart and wonderful manners, Kiba may be the perfect match.
