Story
Meet Rebel! Rebel is a sweet, playful young Pointer/Terrier mix who is learning all about the good life after a tough start. He and his brother, Rip,( also for adoption ) were found roaming in the woods after apparently being on their own for more than 10 days. Now, they’re discovering just how wonderful it is to have a warm home, regular meals, soft beds, and people to love!Rebel is a happy, affectionate boy who enjoys playing with other dogs. He absolutely loves kids and would enjoy having canine or human playmates in his new home. He rides nicely in the car and is becoming a pro at crate time—he and Rip actually enjoy their crates!Since everything about indoor life is still new to Rebel, he is continuing to learn his leash skills and house manners. His foster family has been working with him, and he is making great progress. He would do best with a family willing to continue his training and give him plenty of patience, playtime, and companionship.This loving boy has so much potential and is ready to trade his days of roaming for a family of his own. With a little guidance and a lot of love, Rebel is sure to become an amazing companion!All known information about the animal is listed above.

Meet Rip — A Sweet Boy Learning What It Means to Be Home.Rip is a handsome Pointer/Terrier mix with a gentle heart and a whole lot of love to give. After spending time roaming with his brother, Rebel (also available for adoption) Rip is discovering just how wonderful life can be in a safe, loving home.A little shy at first, Rip is coming out of his shell more every day as he learns that people can be trusted. He absolutely loves playing with other dogs and has done wonderfully with the dogs in his foster home. He is a big fan of the foster’s grandchild. Kids, dogs, and playtime? Rip is in!Rip is crate trained and happily settles in his crate while his foster is at work. He’s also learning to walk on a leash and is making progress with house training, although he still has an occasional accident. After everything he has been through, Rip is simply learning the basics of being a house dog—and he’s doing his best.Rip would love a patient family who will continue teaching him and give him time to build confidence. A home with another playful dog or children could be a wonderful fit for this sweet, playful boy.Rip has already learned that being safe feels good.

Hi! I’m HoneyBelle, a puppy with a heart full of love! I adore playing with other dogs and have a blast with kids too. Cats? They’re cool in my book! I’m super smart and friendly, always ready for a game or a gentle cuddle. My favorite thing is just going with the flow, whether it’s a quiet day indoors or an exciting adventure outside. I am working really hard on house training and am almost there with just a little more practice. I am good in the crate and am having fun learning to walk on the leash. You know what would be really fun, you and I sign up for some dog training classes together. I hear group training classes are a great way to reinforce important skills, learn some new tricks, and get some quality socialization time with other furry friends. Looking for a loyal friend who fits right into your family and brings joy every day? I’m your pup! Let’s make wonderful memories together!

Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: YesGood with kids: YesCrate trained: MostlyHouse Trained: YesMeet Sporty! Don't let the name fool you—while he’s always up for an adventure, Sporty is a mid-energy boy who’s just as happy to kick back and enjoy a quiet evening at your side. This handsome pup is looking for a loving home where he can come out of his shell and be the most loyal companion you could ever dream of.Sporty had a tough start to life and can be a little shy when meeting new people as a result. He may hang back at first and observe, but give him a few minutes to warm up and his sweet, affectionate personality will shine through. Sporty has been a rockstar with the kids he’s met, patiently welcoming their hugs and kisses! This gentle giant is even great with cats—he completely ignores them. Sporty LOVES other dogs, reading their cues well and taking comfort from their company. He would be thrilled to have a canine sibling in his new home to look up to as he gains confidence.Sporty is a smart boy and a quick learner. He is house trained (though like any dog he may need patience as he adapts to new routines). Sporty has been working hard on his crate training and is making great progress. He may whine for a few minutes after the door closes, but he sleeps in his crate overnight and will even choose to go in and hang out by himself sometimes. While Sporty doesn’t demand a ton of exercise, his favorite thing is going on long walks or runs with his trusted people. He would make an amazing walking or hiking buddy, with his quiet endurance and calm presence.If you're looking for a big, loyal, low-drama companion who will grow more devoted with every passing day, Sporty just might be your guy. What are you waiting for? Apply to meet him today!Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line.
