Story
Meet Sonny! This little cutie made his way to us from Georgia, and though he`s only 2 months old he`s ready to take on the world! He`s a very sweet and energetic puppy, eager to run and play! He does well with kids and other dogs, and though he`s not met a cat before, he`s still very young and would easily adjust to living with one. Can’t resist those eyebrows? Apply today!

Story
Meet Pepper, a 7-year-old black Lab with a joyful spirit and a heart full of enthusiasm. Pepper is a wonderful example of a dog who truly defies her age—she has a higher energy level and often acts much younger than seven. She loves car rides, happily plays fetch, and enjoys romping with other dogs her size. Pepper is toy-motivated, loves to eat vegetables, and eager to engage with her people. She has previously lived with cats and did well, showing her adaptable and respectful nature. While she hasn’t lived with children, her cheerful personality suggests she might do well with them, they would have to meet first. Pepper would thrive in an active home ready to enjoy her playful, affectionate outlook on life.If you are interested in adopting Pepper, please come to the shelter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm. We may have other times available, please email dogs@worcesterarl.org

Story
Monte is around 7 years, his breed is not exactly know. He is originally from Italy however is now in the US due to family circumstances. He had to get his leg amputated so he only has three legs. He does have some behavioral issues mainly due to seperation anxiety and anxiety in general. He is currently on multiple different medications to help his anxiety. He needs to be in an only pet household. He loves to go on walks, and needs someone who is able to devote most of their time to him. While he may seem like an intimidating dog to adopt he is very sweet and if you are willing to put in the time and effort he would be a great partner to have.
