Story
Meet Sky ☁️🐾 — a 2-year-old pitbull/husky mix with energy for days! This fun-loving girl is looking for an active home that can keep up with her adventurous spirit 💨🐕. Sky will need lots of walks, playtime, and plenty of toys to keep her busy and happy 🎾🦴. Sky can be a bit much for some dogs because of her high energy, so if there’s already a dog in the home, meet-and-greets should be done at the shelter to make sure everyone is a good match 🐶🤝. She also isn’t a big fan of vet visits 🩺, and future adopters should be prepared to help her stay calm and comfortable during appointments. If you’re looking for an active companion who’s always ready to go, Sky may be your girl 💙 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 not available for in-person visits.) #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. We are often helping other clients when you call, but we return voicemails and emails within 24 hours. **Holds are not available for puppies under six months, on Saturdays, or during adoption events. -------------------------------------------- All adult dog adoption fees include; -spay/neuter -rabies and kennel cough vaccinations - heartworm test -current parvo/distemper vaccines (may need additional boosters with your veterinarian) -microchip implanted & registered to adopter -treatment of fleas & ticks -veterinary exam and health certificate at Dakin -free vet exam within 30 days of adoption with participating veterinarians Most pets have also received other medical care while with us.

Story
**Danielle is a sensitive girl and is beginning to struggle in the shelter environment. She would benefit from getting a break in a foster, or foster to adopt arrangment. She will need patience and time to decompress** Danielle is a gorgeous, timid girl who will need lots of patience as she learns she is safe. Positive reinforcement and happy experiences will help her develop confidence as she blossoms. While nervous, she is curious, and is starting to show her playful side. OTHER PETS: Danielle is still young and bouncy, she went for a walk with a smaller, relaxed pup, and in no time she was walking happily with her new friend. She would likely do well with a playful dog who communicates well, and the ability to roll with her exuberent play style. [ (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: [First Dog] Experience with positive reinforcement or willingness to learn. While Danielle has shown some nervousness, including sudden movements and noises, that can greatly improve with patience, relationship-building playtime, and the opportunity to fully decompress. Once she realized she was safe she solicited interaction and began showing her sweet personality. GROOMING: [Minimal] KIDS: Danielle is young and very bouncy and could easily knock young children over. She would likely do best with older, respectful kids who know how to give her space. Danielle has shown very sublte signs of resource-guarding while at TJO (she sped up eating when approached), but if she learns she doesn't have to lose valuable items with 'trading up,' she will gain confidence. For safety, dogs should be separated during mealtime so no worries develop. She should meet everyone she would be living with prior to adoption. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Danielle was nervous initially, but with fun and encouragement she began to feel more comfortable playing with toys. With ample opportunity to decompress and feel safe, nervous dogs like Danielle often reveal, slowly, interests that are not seen in the shelter setting. She has been comfortable with most handling but will lower her body and sometimes go belly up (not a request for attention) when worried. She loosened up and invited play with a dog friend, but she may be a bit much for dogs who aren't interested in the antics of a youngster. A combination of regular physical activity and plenty of mental enrichment and games will fully meet her needs. [Active] VETERINARY CARE:. [Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Danielle bond with her new owner and build self-confidence in her new home while learning new skills and fun tricks. Positive reinforcement is a great way to keep her mind engaged and active to fully meet her needs. [Minimal]May 24, 2026, 4:24 pm

Story
***IN FOSTER--call to schedule a meet***Peter 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. Peter is at a more appropriate weight and has been making friends with staff and volunteers while he enjoys being safe and warm during all these snow storms.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. GROOMING: [Minimal] 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. [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 is 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]May 24, 2026, 4:24 pm
