Story
Zeus is a 1-year-old Pit Bull who is looking for a very specific type of home. He is a high-energy, high-intensity adolescent dog who currently has zero manners and loves to play hard and rough. Zeus isn't a turn-key dog; in fact, he's more like a runaway freight train covered in fur. He needs an experienced, savvy handler who thrives on structure, consistent positive-reinforcement training, and setting clear boundaries to help him channel his big, chaotic teenage energy. 🚫 Adults-Only Home: Because of his intense, wrecking-ball play style, he needs a mature environment without kids (we do not want your toddlers used as bowling pins). 🐾 No Other Pets: Zeus firmly believes he is the center of the universe and refuses to share the spotlight with other dogs. 🛠️ A Project: He skipped every single day of manners school, so his basic training is starting from absolute square one. 🧠 Structure & Training: He requires a dedicated owner who will focus on teaching him that "stop" is a real word and that humans are not chew toys. If you have the time, patience, and dog skills to mold a wild teenager into a civilized companion, come meet Zeus today! Ready to Adopt? You have two options: #1- VISIT IN PERSON Come during our open adoption hours: Tuesday - Saturday,12:30 - 3:00pm. You’ll be able to meet available dogs in the shelter. (Dogs in foster care are available to meet by appointment.) #2- ADOPT REMOTELY OR PLACE A 24-HOUR HOLD** If you’re ready to adopt without meeting the dog first, or you’d like to place a non-refundable $25 hold to reserve a dog for 24 hours, just call or email us: (413) 781-4000 x 1 springfield@dakinhumane.org.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
IN FOSTERPeter was a bit underweight and nervous when he first came to TJO but after a good night's sleep and a few days of regular, nutritious meals, he was feeling a little better and a little braver. Since being in foster, Peter is at a perfect weight, and during his time in the shelter he made friends with staff and volunteers and quickly became a shelter favorite.OTHER PETS: Peter is mostly disinterested in other dogs but when uncomfortable will get irritated across the barrier with another dog. He would do well as an only pet. [Only Pet] OWNER EXPERIENCE: [First Dog] Experience with positive reinforcement or willingness to learn. Peter is pretty easy-going and enjoys the company of a human friend, some playtime, and opportunities to rest on a soft bed. Peter does not love giving up his toys, so to help him feel confident, trading up (with another toy or high value treat) is a a safer way to remove toys and will help him worry less about losing high value items. Since Peter has been in foster, we've learned that he prefers company during the day whenever possible, and needs more frequent outings to help is aging bladder. KIDS: Peter has been uncomfortable with some handling but tolerant of it, he does solicit physical interaction but arthritis makes him sore. He can be a little grabby with toys, unintentionally brushing teeth against fingers or knuckles when giving/taking toys; Peter would not be a good fit for younger children and should meet everyone he would be living with prior to adoption. Minors should always be actively supervised. [13+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Peter still enjoys being active but too much walking could aggravate his arthritis; he enjoys playing with humans and toys, sometimes getting grabby with toys and fixating on them occasionally. Peter would do well with a variety of mental enrichment activities - a combination of physical activity and mental stimulation will help meet his needs and keep him young; you can also speak with your vet about diet and exercise/physical therapy referals. [Good Yoga Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: Peter will need a good relationship with a vet to ensure his arthritis and seasonal allergies are optimally managed and he is able to remain active well into old age. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Peter bond with his new owner, build self-confidence, and new skills and fun tricks. Positive reinforcement is a great way to keep his mind engaged and active to fully meet his needs. [Minimal]GROOMING: [Minimal]July 8, 2026, 9:55 pm

Story
Butterscotch is an outgoing girl who unfortunately had to spend her first ten days at TJO under quarantine, now that she has recovered she is excited to meet new people and play with new toys. Butterscotch will need a human who has experience properly managing resource guarding using methods such as trading up, and building confidence.OTHER PETS: Butterscotch is intrigued by other dogs but is also uncomfortable interacting with them, and would do best as an only dog. [Should Be Only Pet]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Butterscotch's best fit would be with someone who has experience positive reinforcement and counterconditioning to help dogs who resource-guard favorite items. Resource-guarding is a normal behavior, but it can escalate if their body language and stress signals are missed. [Some Experience] KIDS: Butterscotch has engaged in resource-guarding with food while at TJO. Dogs who are worried their favorite items will be taken away can learn they don't have to feel anxious about favorite things. Trading up (offering a toy or food item of equal or higher value) will help build confidence and keep everyone safe. Butterscotch can also be sensitive with her tail, and may jump on counters if food is available and when excited. An adult-only home will be the best fit. For more information on resource-guarding please visit our website: https://www.tjoconnoradoptioncenter.com/resources/bringing-home-a-new-foster/adoption [18+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Buttescotch is very playful with both humans and toys and does settle after playtime. She would thrive with a combination of regular exercise and mental enrichment such as food puzzles, scent games, and learning new tricks. Positive reinforcement will help Butterscotch learn that good things happen when all paws are on the ground. [Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement will help Butterscotch bond with her new family and build confidence while learning new skills and fun tricks.
