Plott Hound puppies and dogs in Pittsfield, Massachusetts

🐾💗 MEET DONNA — THE FUN-LOVING, WATER-LOVING, SLIGHTLY MISCHIEVOUS GIRL WHO JUST WANTS SOMEONE TO PICK HER! 💗🐾 🥹 She's the LAST of her litter still waiting for a forever home. She's been overlooked for MONTHS, and it's time for Donna to finally have her happily ever after! Meet Donna, a gorgeous 10–11-month-old girl weighing 43 lbs. We suspect she may be a Plott Hound/Bull Terrier mix, although her exact breed is unknown. She's believed to be fully grown, which means she's the perfect medium-sized companion for someone looking for a little adventure, a lot of love, and plenty of laughs! But Donna's story is about more than her adorable personality. 💔 🏡 A PROMISE THAT FELL THROUGH Donna and her siblings were taken in by a kind facility when they were tiny babies because a rescue had promised to take them all. Unfortunately, that rescue never followed through on taking every puppy, leaving the facility to care for the little ones. One by one, Donna's siblings found homes. But Donna was left behind. She's now been at the sanctuary for approximately EIGHT MONTHS, watching other dogs get their chance while she continues to wait for someone to choose her. Our rescue has stepped in to help Donna find the family she's always deserved. ❤️ And trust us… this girl has SO much love and personality to offer! 😂 A LITTLE CRAZY, BUT THE BEST KIND OF CRAZY! Donna is a fun-loving, goofy girl who keeps life interesting! She's very food- and treat-motivated, which makes her a great candidate for continued training. She wants to please her people, and she knows when she's been a little naughty. In fact, when Donna realizes she's done something she probably shouldn't have, she'll look at you, waiting for the mom look… and then WALK HERSELF OVER TO HER BED like she's putting herself in time-out! 🤣 PLEASE. How can you not love that?! 💕 YOUR SHADOW, YOUR PEOPLE-PLEASER, YOUR BEST FRIEND Donna is incredibly sweet and loving. She loves following her humans around and being their little shadow. She wants to be involved in whatever you're doing, whether that's going for a walk, heading out for an adventure, or simply relaxing at home. She's also quite the self-appointed doggy referee! When other dogs are playing, Donna likes to jump in and try to supervise the situation. The only problem? Nobody seems to listen to her! 😂 She's got the heart of a helper, even if her management skills need a little work. 🚗 WHO'S READY FOR AN ADVENTURE? Donna LOVES car rides and would make a wonderful adventure buddy! Want to explore a new walking trail? She's in. Want to take a leisurely drive? She's ready. Want to enjoy a day out and then come home for a couch cuddle? That's her kind of schedule! She's leash-trained, crate-trained, and house-trained, so she already has some wonderful skills to help her settle into her new home. 💦 WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR ABOUT HER POOL PARTY TRICK! Donna LOVES water, and when the zoomies hit, all bets are off! She'll race over to the doggy pool, jump right in, put her muzzle underwater, and BLOW BUBBLES! Yes, actual bubbles! 🫧🤣 It is apparently the cutest thing ever, and we can only imagine the entertainment this girl brings to the sanctuary. Who needs television when you have Donna?! 🐕 HER IDEAL HOME Donna would love a home with another friendly, compatible dog. She enjoys canine company and would be a wonderful addition to a family ready for another four-legged friend. 🐱 She hasn't been cat-tested yet, but the rescue can arrange a cat test for an interested applicant. 👧 She is expected to be a great family companion for children, with appropriate supervision and introductions. 🏃‍♀️ She would love opportunities to run, play, explore, and burn off some energy. 🛋️ But don't let that fool you! Donna is also a certified couch potato. Her ideal family is a beautiful mix of active and lazy. She wants adventures and playtime, but she also wants to relax at home with her people. After all, somebody has to work off those extra couch-potato calories! 😂💗 ❤️ WHY HAS NOBODY CHOSEN DONNA YET? We honestly don't know. She's sweet. She's affectionate. She's playful. She's eager to please. She's got the funniest little personality, loves car rides, enjoys other dogs, and has already mastered important household skills. Yet she's been waiting at the sanctuary for eight months. Donna doesn't need to be perfect. She just needs someone willing to see how wonderful she already is and help her continue growing into the amazing dog she's meant to be. She's spent most of her young life waiting for her turn. LET'S MAKE DONNA'S TURN NOW. 🥹💗 If you're looking for a loving, goofy, adventure-ready best friend who will follow you everywhere, make you laugh every day, and happily curl up beside you after a busy day, Donna could be your girl. 🏡 PLEASE CONSIDER ADOPTING DONNA! And if you can't adopt, please SHARE her story. Let's get this beautiful girl out of the sanctuary and into the loving forever home she's waited so long for. Eight months is long enough, sweet Donna.

Clara is a 10‑month‑old, 40‑lb Plott Hound mix who truly beat the odds. She survived the shelter when her brother and sister heartbreakingly did not, and she’s determined to make her second chance count. Despite her rough start, Clara is pure sunshine — social, happy, and instantly in love with every person and dog she meets. She’s an adventurer at heart, always ready to explore, run in the yard, or proudly parade around with her favorite chew toy. Keeping busy makes her happiest. When the day winds down, Clara becomes the world’s sweetest snuggler. She’ll press her whole body against you, soaking up every bit of love she can get. Clara is vaccinated, spayed, and needs a new home immediately. A fenced‑in yard is highly recommended so she can safely enjoy the freedom she loves.

This big, handsome boys name is Mace! Mace is an approximately two year old Plott Hound who LOVES hiking and soaking up all the smells in the forest. He will need some basic obedience training but he is a sweet, young boy who has many Hound tendencies. Due to his history he has the tendency to guard his food however in the right setting he has potential to be a wonderful companion. He could possible live with a submissive dog with a proper introduction but his prey drive is too strong to live with cats. He would also do well with teenage children that are used to large dogs. Please visit the following link on our website to learn about Second Chance's adoption process. http://www.2ndchanceanimalcenter.org/adoption.html March 7, 2026, 12:07 pm
