Story
PLEASE NOTE: This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to Massachusetts shortly with no additional travel costs. Roughly 90% of our dogs are adopted prior to their transport up to MA and 10% are adopted locally.Meet Archie! Archie is approximately 4 years old and 11 lbs currently and he likely has some Maltese/Shih Tzu in his mix. Archie was surrendered after his person could no longer care for him. In his foster home, he is doing great with his house training, crate training and leash walking. He could join households with dog-savvy kids 10+, and other small, calm dogs. He has not been exposed to cats. He would not be a good fit for an apartment. Archie does have a chicken allergy and needs to be on prescription food and apoquel.His foster says, `Archie has been an only dog most of his life. He lived with an older person. He is an absolute joy. A Tiny Gentleman with a silly side. Perfect blend of snuggles and spunk. With his sweet and soulful eyes he can make every moment feel a little brighter. Archie is part fluff, a little Silly, and 100% irresistible. Life is always better with a little fluff and a lot of love.`He is available for adoption in N Dartmouth in May.

Zsa Zsa **Currently Available for Adoption!** Good with Kids & Dogs! Meet Zsa Zsa! 10 yrs./16 lb./Female/Maltese Mix Name: Zsa Zsa Age: 10 years Weight: 16 lbs Breed: Maltese Mix Status: Gentle, devoted, and ready for a love that feels like home ​ About Me: Hello, I’m Zsa Zsa — a sweet, soulful little lady with so much love still to give. At 10 years young, I’ve left the busy, chaotic days behind and found my rhythm in the quiet, meaningful moments… the ones that matter most. I’m the kind of companion who doesn’t need much — just a soft place to rest, a gentle hand to pet me, and someone to love. I’ll happily curl up beside you, follow you from room to room, and be your calm, steady presence through it all. There’s something really special about a senior dog’s love — it’s soft, it’s loyal, and it’s deeply grateful. I may be in my golden years, but my heart is full and ready to belong to someone who sees just how much I still have to offer. ​ Best Qualities: • Gentle, calm, and incredibly loving • Devoted companion who bonds deeply • Low-key and easy to care for • Finds joy in the simple things • A comforting, peaceful presence ​ My Ideal Match: • A quiet, loving home • Someone who values companionship and connection • A cozy space with lots of soft spots to rest • A family ready to cherish a senior soul ​ Deal Breakers: • A loud or high-energy household • Being overlooked because of my age • A home without time for companionship ​ Fun Fact: My favorite place isn’t a bed or a blanket… it’s right next to you. 🤍🐾

Story
DOB 6-11-2025 This gorgeous little boy named Natan is a sweetheart. He is a little shy, gets along with other little dogs, loves to play and is social. Natan is up to date on shots and a healthy boy! Natan's adoption fee is 900.00 and his transport fee is 165.00. Our transport is HEARTS LLC, they run every other week to their stops on the East Coast. They are the best transport and the only one we will use. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.
