Story
Meet Blitzen, a bright, bouncy teenage pup with energy to spare and a whole lot of love to give. This active girl lives to play and is as smart as she is food-motivated, which means she learns fast and enjoys training when treats are involved. Blitzen is still polishing her manners, both with people and around other dogs. She would benefit from having stable, playful, and tolerant adult dog friends, either in her home or among regular friends and family. She’s looking for a household ready to keep up with her fun-loving spirit and continue her training journey. Any kids in the home should be mature enough to participate in training and comfortable with her enthusiastic jumps.

Story
THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN A FOSTER HOME WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE OF OUR KENNEL IN WOBURN, MA. ONCE A POTENTIAL ADOPTER IS MATCHED WITH A DOG AND GOES THROUGH OUR REFERENCE AND INTERVIEW PROCESS WITH AN ADOPTION COORDINATOR THIS DOG WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO MEET BEFORE ADOPTION. IT IS OUR GOAL TO GET ALL LOCAL DOGS TO THEIR FOREVER FAMILIES WITHIN 7 DAYS ONCE MATCHED. **Please read Coco Rosie Spring's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Coco, a cheerful, affectionate, and playful 1 1/2 year-old German Shepherd mix (about 40 lbs) who is ready to be someone's most loyal companion. She's the kind of dog who will worm her way into your personal space just to give you love. Once she's comfortable with you, she is an absolute delight. Coco's journey started in the mountains of Puerto Rico, where she was found as a stray before making her way to New England. She was adopted locally, but a home with young children and a lot of household activity turned out to be a bit overwhelming for her, and she's now in foster care looking for her perfect second chance. She thrives in calm, peaceful environments where she can truly settle in and be herself. Her crate is her safe space, and according to her foster mom, she's been sleeping in it every night and doing really well. Once she's comfortable, Coco is pure joy. She loves other dogs and would thrive with a canine companion by her side. In her first home, she made plenty of friends at doggy daycare and has always gotten along warmly with people too. Outside, she absolutely comes alive, especially in the snow, where she goes all-in on a good game of fetch. And after burning off that energy? She's a champion napper. This smart girl has completed two levels of obedience training and has mastered sit, stay, down, and come. Her recall in particular has blown her foster mom away - she comes when called reliably and eagerly. She's learning great leash manners using a harness and is house-training well. Everyday life with her is genuinely easy and rewarding. Her foster mom immediately connected with Coco and her sweet nature. She is always sneaking over to get close and soak up as much love as she can get. Coco is healthy, happy, and ready to bring so much sunshine into the right home. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle companion who will love you with her whole heart, Coco just might be your girl.

Story
**Please read Sky's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application. Thank you!** The sky's the limit with this one! Meet Sky, a 5-year-old German Shepherd mix, weighing 70 pounds (as of 1/25/26)! This happy-go-lucky lady was found as a stray on the streets of Tennessee but hopes to liven your darkest days with her heroism and smile! This sweet girl is very smart and very trainable. In fact, she's preparing to join the Avengers on their next mission so Sky will need an active home where her owners will have time to work with her and take her on long walks or even hikes. When she's not fighting the forces of evil or saving helpless civilians, Sky is constantly on the search for her next job whether that's walking, being a hiking buddy or a cuddle buddy! Sky is eager to please her person and truly loves everyone she meets. While she doesn't have any experience with kiddos, we think she'll be fine since she loves her people. Sky has also lived with dogs of all sizes! She does tend to chase cats so she'd probably be good in a home without them. Sorry kitties! No hard feelings. Sky is great with leashes but isn't as fond of crates (it's basically her Kryptonite) but her foster says she doesn't need a crate as she does great and behaves well. Sky hopes to learn commands at her future home so she can fight against the forces of evil! The only thing Sky asks from her future family is patience as she adjusts to your home. Sometimes she'll pace and do laps in the yard when she first comes to a home, but she'll eventually settle down (which is common in German Shepherds). Think of it as her scoping out the area for any bad guys! Also, loud noises such as the vacuum will make her pace and be on the alert. Who needs a security system, when you've got Sky right at home! Sky does have a little stub of a tail due to it being amputated, but it just makes her that more adorable especially when she wags it! This girl's a fighter and she's happy to show off her battle scars. All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be. To adopt or learn more about Harper Lee, you must fill out an adoption application. To find the application, copy and paste this URL into your browser: WWW.GDRNE.COM/ADOPTION-APPLICATION [Adoption Fee: $495] ** This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to New England shortly with no additional travel costs. The long distance adoption process includes talking to the foster they are living with in the south. Roughly 90% of our dogs are successfully long distance adopted and 10% adopted locally.

Meet Silas, a soft-spoken gentleman with the sweetest manners you ever did see. He may be a touch shy when meeting new folks, but give him a little kindness and he’ll warm up faster than sunshine on a front porch. Silas tips his hat for every head scratch, loves a good romp and run in the yard, yet is just as happy settling down calm and easy at your side. Sweet as sweet tea and steady as a country sunrise, he’s ready to be your most loyal companion. Silas can potentially go home to kids and/or a dog-savvy cat.
