Story
Meet Dulce!This little lady is so sweet that she'll give you cavities. There are less longing, yearning glances exchanged in Bridgerton than there are between Dulce and, like, everyone she meets. Dulce is rainbows and heart eyes and sunshine and wants to spend her days just gazing into your eyes lovingly while you scratch her ears and tell her she's the best girl in the whole world.Dulce is an eight year old Podengo and she weighs around 36lbs. She's a gentle soul and it shows in everything she does. She's gentle on a leash, gentle taking treats, gentle when she jumps up on you...and she WILL jump up on you. As soon as she meets you. She'll do the "run and jump" like it's Dirty Dancing. Your entire life will turn into a romcom if you adopt this dog. She'll want to be with you or on top of you or leaning against you at all times. Physical touch is definitely her love language.(Is food a love language? Because food is also her love language.)She has most likely had multiple litters throughout her life so we're looking for a family that will spoil her absolutely rotten the way she deserves. She did previously live with other dogs and presumably did well with them and, while we haven't officially tested her with other dogs here yet, we haven't seen any red flags. We aren't sure that she even knows what a cat is because one of our spicier cats (yes, Eclair...) hissed at her, she didn't even blink. We don't know if she's ever been around children so we would prefer kids 12+ but exceptions may be made for the right family. To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application. Once complete, you can email it to us at fpas1@foreverpaws.com or fax it to us at 508-677-9175.

Fallon

Podengo Portugueso

Male, 4 yrs
Medfield, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Fallon came to us after retiring from hunting. He loves other dogs, and we were told he is good with children. He is a shy pup, but much more confident outside. He is not completely housebroken because he has never lived in a home, but his foster family is taking him outside often, and he has had only a few accidents. His life has changed so much from being an outdoor dog kept in a small enclosure to now lounging on the couch, enjoying pup cups, playing with his Chihuahua foster sister, and even being featured on Fox25's FureverFriday spotlight. Podengos are known for being intelligent, playful, and loyal dogs, but can have an independent streak. Fallon was neutered and updated on his vaccines on January 15th, and is ready for adoption. The first step in our adoption process is to fill out an adoption application here: medfieldshelter.com/adopt If you are interested in adopting a dog, please fill out our dog adoption application here: http://medfieldshelter.com/adopt. Our adoption fee for dogs ages 7 months to 7 years is $450. Dogs 8 years and up are $250. Every dog we place is vaccinated, wormed, treated for ticks/fleas, and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. We send each dog home with a collar and leash. With very few exceptions, dogs are happiest and the most well-behaved when they receive daily exercise and ongoing training, so we always prefer to place our dogs with families who are willing to make a commitment to both. All adoption meetings are by appointment only as we only have two employees. Our manager or one of our volunteers will be happy to set up an appointment for you to come meet the pets, but please fill out the adoption application first.

These pups are in Fall River, Massachusetts too!

Story
Meet Mighty Mouse!Mighty Mouse is another pup that's going to need a very special someone that understands how particular, bossy, and sassy chihuahuas can be. Mighty Mouse is about two years old, absolutely gorgeous (as you can see) and also very, very deaf. VERY deaf. This means he can't really hear himself bark so he tends to bark loudly and incessantly when he gets riled up so shared walls/apartment complexes may not be the best environment for this shouty little man. He's a little under 14lbs but what he lacks in size he makes up for with an attitude the size of Texas. He takes a bit to warm up to people but once he does, he definitely plays favorites. He does well with other dogs but not with cats. He's sweet with people (once he likes you) and loves going for walks. He also loves his treats/snacks and likes to bury them and then forget they exist. With the right amount of sweet talking, Mighty Mouse will be your best friend...but you need to be willing to GO SLOW with him. He isn't the kind of dog that you can just swoop down and scoop up right away because he can and will throw hands while screaming vulgarities (probably). If you've had a difficult dog in the past and are used to the attitude and the judgmental side eye, Mighty Mouse might be the guy for you. We're looking for an adult only home (older teenagers should be fine as well) that has the patience and the drive to put in the effort with him...because he is incredible once you melt that icy Fight Club exterior.
