Roughly 90% of our dogs are adopted prior to their transport up to MA and 10% are adopted locally.Meet Buddy! Buddy is a 10 year old, 12 pound dog who likely has some Shih Tzu and possibly Yorkie in his mix. He was surrendered after his family could no longer care for him. He is doing great on house-training, crate-training, and leash walking. He could join families with teens, cats, and other small calm dogs. He just has FHO surgery and will need some physical therapy for that. As a senior dog, he also has cataracts.No apartments, please!His foster says, `Buddy is a handsome senior fellow with spunk looking for a loving forever family/ human!Buddy is the total package, all around good boy.`He is available for adoption in N Dartmouth on November 9th.

Story
Meet Onyx!Where are our senior dog lovers at? Because this senior girl is PERFECT 💜Onyx is about twelve years old and she's a pretty standard size for a shih tzu at around 9lbs. Do NOT let her age fool you because Onyx has so much sass and spunk that she's easily mistaken for a dog half her age. While Onyx isn't too high energy and isn't in a constant state of chaos zoomies, she still definitely loves to play. Her favorite toys at the moment are human hands but she'll settle for plush toys if she has to. She's all about the play fighting - she'll hop at your hands and give little growls or drop into a play bow before mouthing at your hands. She LOVES her walks but make sure you have the time and the patience because she's a professional lollygagger and will make you stop and smell EVERY rose whether you like it or not.She's a social girl that loves being with people and would make a great addition to your garden club, knitting circle, or mahjong club. Onyx does well with other dogs, though we wouldn't place her with dogs much larger than her for safety reasons. She's also healthily wary of cats so would do fine with them. We would prefer kids 12+ - not because she is aggressive but because we don't have a history on her so aren't sure how she would be with smaller kids. She does have a heart murmur so will need regular vet visits and an EKG to stay on top of it. Other than that, there have been no major health issues noticed.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application. Once complete, you can email it to us at fpas1@foreverpaws.com.

Story
Jefferson **Not Available to Be Seen Until Open House on Wednesday 10/7** Good with Kids & Dogs! 2 yrs./15 lb./Male/Shih Tzu/Small Terrier Mix Name: Jefferson Age: 2 years Weight: 15 lbs Breed: Shih Tzu/Small Terrier Mix Status: Scruffy, smiley, and accepting applications for a new best friend. ​ About Me: Hi, I’m Jefferson! I’m 2 years old, 15 pounds, and bringing a pretty impressive combination of scruffy hair, happy smiles, and undeniable charm to the dating scene. I’m a little guy in the prime of my life, and I’m ready to find out what forever feels like. I’m small enough to fit nicely beside you on the couch, but I’m certainly not planning to spend my entire life there. I’d love a family to share my days with—walks around the neighborhood, hanging out at home, exploring new places, and whatever other adventures we can dream up. And yes, my hair occasionally has a mind of its own. I consider that part of the appeal. ​ Best Qualities: That smile: I have absolutely no poker face. When I’m having a good time, you’re going to know it. Scruffy in all the right places: Bedhead? Windswept? Distinguished gentleman? My look is versatile. Fun-sized: Fifteen pounds makes me an excellent little sidekick without being so tiny that I disappear between the couch cushions. Prime-time Jefferson: At 2 years old, I’m a young adult with plenty of fun ahead of me. I’m ready to skip the awkward first date and get right to building a life together. ​ Ideal Match: I’m looking for someone who wants a little dog with a big place in their everyday life. Walks, playtime, couch time, car rides, hanging around while you do absolutely nothing—I’m open to negotiations. Give me love, consistency, and time to settle into my new routine, and I’ll happily work on becoming your favorite little shadow. ​ Deal Breakers: If you’re looking for a dog who’s just along for the ride, we probably aren’t a match. I may be small, but I’m a whole personality in a 15-pound package and I want to be part of the family. And if perfectly styled hair is important to you, we should probably talk—my scruffy look has a mind of its own, and I happen to think it’s part of my charm. ​ Fun Fact: My signature look is somewhere between distinguished gentleman and “I just stuck my head out the car window.” I pull off both beautifully.

Story
Meet Rosie Rosie is a sweet, gentle, and sensitive girl looking for her forever home. She can be shy when meeting new people and will need a little time to feel safe and comfortable. Rosie is the kind of girl who needs patience, understanding, and someone willing to let her warm up at her own pace.Rosie is also sensitive about being picked up, so her new family will need to respect her boundaries and allow her to build trust gradually. She may take some time to come out of her shell, but once she feels safe and secure, we know her sweet personality will shine. Rosie does need a dental surgery, which is why she will be placed as a foster-to-adopt. Her dental procedure will be done through our veterinarian, and our rescue will cover the full cost of her dental care. Her foster-to-adopt family will simply provide her with a safe, loving home while she receives the care she needs.Rosie is looking for someone who understands that love and trust don’t always happen overnight. She may need a little extra time, but she is absolutely worth it. With patience, kindness, and consistency, Rosie has the chance to blossom into a wonderful companion.
