Story
Meet Simba – A Little Dog with a Big Heart! Simba is currently thriving in a loving foster home, where we`ve had the chance to truly get to know what a wonderful companion he is. His foster family has learned that this sweet senior boy is full of love, personality, and plenty of youthful energy!Don`t let his age fool you—Simba still loves to run, jump, explore, and soak up the sunshine. One of his favorite things is finding a warm patch of grass to stretch out and relax after a nice walk.Here`s what his foster family has discovered about Simba:• He absolutely LOVES to cuddle and be petted.• He`s wonderful on a leash and enjoys daily walks.• He`s very friendly with other dogs and currently lives happily with an older foster brother. The two enjoy going on walks together, and Simba is incredibly gentle—even if his foster brother tries to sneak bites from his food, Simba remains calm and passive.• He`s housebroken and lets you know when he needs to go outside by going to the sliding door.• He`s great with older children.• He takes his daily kidney medication with easeLike many dogs, Simba prefers being with his people. Apartment living wouldn`t be ideal for him as he can be vocal for a period of time when left alone.Simba does have a heart murmur that currently doesn`t slow him down or require medication, though it may need treatment in the future. He also takes lifelong medication to help protect his kidneys.Simba has settled beautifully into foster care, and now he`s ready for the next chapter—a forever home of his own. If you`re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who enjoys both outdoor adventures and cozy cuddle sessions, Simba could be the perfect addition to your family.For more information or to set up a meet & greet with Simba, please call 508-867-5525 or email fostering@secondchanceanimals.org

Story
Meet Molly, our sweet 11-year-old female Maltese who is looking for a loving new home. Molly is spayed, house-trained, well-mannered, and has a gentle, affectionate personality. She loves being around people, gets along wonderfully with children, other dogs, and even cats, making her an easy addition to almost any family. She enjoys companionship, cuddling, leisurely walks, and simply being part of the family. Molly is healthy, happy, and has so much love left to give. We are making this incredibly difficult decision only because apartment living has not been a good fit for her, and we want to find a home where she can be comfortable and thrive. She would do best with someone who is looking for a loyal, loving companion to cherish in her senior years.

Story
Ekko & Mimi's Story Ekko (black and tan, male, 15 lbs) and Mimi (tan & white, female, 11 lbs) are an adorable bonded pair looking for a home where they can stay together forever! These sweet pups are house trained, crate trained, and have an easygoing, medium energy level that makes them a great fit for many different homes. They absolutely love people and enjoy playing with kids of all ages. Friendly and social, they are not fearful or reactive and have wonderfully happy personalities. Their favorite pastime is romping around the backyard together and playing with their small stuffed toys before settling in for some relaxation time. Ekko and Mimi are easy to walk on leash and could do well in an apartment or home environment as long as they get their daily exercise and playtime. Theyre relatively quiet overall, though they may bark a little when they see activity outside the fence — but once outside, they are calm and content explorers. Like many playful dogs, they do enjoy chasing cats, so a cat-free home would be best for this duo. If youre looking for two loving companions who already adore each other and are ready to bring double the joy into your life, Ekko and Mimi may be the perfect match! Ekko and Mimi are both about 8-10 yrs old. They are currently being fostered in Houston, TX and are available locally or out of state to the Northeast. If adopted out of state, they would come to their new home via professional transport. Email info@joyrides.org to request an application!

Her medical bills are already nearly $400- and climbing. Please consider making a donation to help with her care and others like her. https://www.lowellhumanesociety.org/donate/
