He could join households with kids 5+ and other playful pups. He has not been exposed to cats.No apartments, please!His foster says, `Natchez is a very playful and loving puppy. He will roll right over on his back for all the belly rubs you can give. He will stick right with you and be your best friend for life.

She has not been exposed to cats.She has separation anxiety and needs a home where people and other dogs are always around.Her foster says, `Beep is such a friendly, loving, affectionate, playful girl. She loves a good ball chase, a game of tug, sniffing to find treats, or just a good cuddle session while watching TV. People and dogs are friends as far as she’s concerned. She is very smart and can easily be trained to do tricks and or agility type games. She would do best with a family that would love to just pet her and play with her and even sleep with her if possible.She is available for adoption in Burlington or Hopkinton, MA.

Meet Chase! 4 mos./17 lb./Male/Shepherd Mix Name: Chase Age: 4months Weight: 17 lbs Breed: Shepherd Mix Status: Wiggly, happy, and always ready for fun ​ About Me: Hi, I’m Chase — and yes, the name fits! I’m a bouncy little shepherd mix with a love for life, people, and basically anything that moves. If there’s fun to be had, I’m already on my way. I’m full of puppy energy, curiosity, and excitement, but underneath all that wiggle is a super sweet, affectionate boy who just wants to be near his people. I’ve got that smart shepherd brain too, so I’m ready to learn, grow, and become an amazing, loyal companion. Right now, I’m all about playtime, attention, and discovering the world… preferably with you right by my side. ​ Best Qualities: • Happy, playful, and full of personality • Super affectionate and people-loving • Smart and eager to learn • Confident, curious, and fun • Brings joy (and wiggles) wherever he goes ​ My Ideal Match: • A home ready for puppy energy and lots of playtime • Someone excited to train and engage with me • A family that enjoys an active, fun-loving dog • Humans who will give me attention, structure, and love • Bonus: someone who appreciates a dog with BIG personality ​ Deal Breakers: • Not ready for puppy energy and activity • Looking for a calm, low-energy dog • Not interested in training, structure, or engagement ​ Fun Fact: If you sit down… I will immediately assume it’s playtime (or cuddle time… or both) 💛🐾

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
That face…♥️ how could you not fall in love? This handsome 1-year-old boy, hasn’t had the best start in life. Adopted at 7 months old, he went to a home that wasn’t prepared for the needs of a young, under-socialized German Shepherd. Without proper exposure or guidance, he spent much of his time isolated, living mostly in a basement. Deke is doing so well since he’s arrived in our rescue and already beginning to blossom. He’s warming up to our volunteers and showing us just how sweet he really is. He’s still a bit unsure at times, which makes sense given his limited exposure early on, but we’re already seeing his confidence grow. He loves exploring on his walks and has discovered just how fun toys can be. Every day he’s making progress and it’s so rewarding to watch. Deke is still young and has so much potential. With the right family one that will continue to gently expose him to the world and build his confidence he will thrive. A calm, easygoing, confident dog in the home would be a wonderful bonus to help guide him. This sweet boy deserves a second chance at the life he’s been missing. Please reach out to us @ (978) 443-2202 if you think you could be Deke’s second chance.

Story
Meet Roxie… This beautiful girl is truly blossoming, and it’s been so rewarding to watch her confidence grow more and more each day. Roxie is not the same shy dog that first came to us, she’s affectionate, loving, and always happy to stop for attention and affection on her walks. It’s honestly impossible not to fall in love with her sweet personality. Roxie previously lived in a home with six children ranging in age from 7 to 17. She especially loved spending time with the older kids, and we definitely think she would enjoy a home with teens again. She loves being included, going for walks, and simply being close to her people. She walks beautifully on leash and does not pull at all. Roxie enjoys getting out and exploring, and she’s become such a pleasure to spend time with. Sadly, through no fault of her own, Roxie lost her home when her family’s landlord would not allow a German Shepherd on the property. Roxie would thrive with an active family familiar with the breed one excited to continue building her confidence, taking her on adventures, and giving her the stability and love she deserves. She is such a gentle, affectionate soul who has come such a long way and is more than ready for a forever family to call her own.
