Story

Meet Mister 💙 Mister is a small dog with a big heart who is just beginning to discover how wonderful life can be. He came to us severely matted, but after a much-needed makeover, he’s feeling so much better and ready to start his next chapter. Mister is a nervous guy and is looking for a dog-experienced adult home where he can feel safe and supported. Because of his rough past, he can be unsure about handling at first, but with patience, kindness, and respect for his boundaries, he continues to gain confidence every day. Treats and toys are the way to Mister’s heart! With their help, he’s warming up to new people quickly and learning that humans can be gentle, loving, and fun. Once he’s comfortable, Mister shows his true personality — an active, playful, and very cuddly little guy who loves to be close to his people. Mister just needs a patient, understanding home that will give him the time and space he needs to blossom into the happy companion he’s meant to be. The reward? A loyal best friend who will love you deeply. 🐾 Mister will be neutered on Tuesday, 1/6, and will be ready to go home after that.

Story

Special Adopter Needed – Gentle, Sweet Soul with a Hard Past Fozzie is a 1 y/o, 18 lb. ShihTzu-Maltese mix who was abandoned in a rural area. He was rescued and sent to a foster home where we learned that he may have endured some abuse in his short life. This beautiful boy desperately wants to be near his human companions and will follow you around, eager to snuggle up next to you on the couch. Very affectionate and playful, he greets everyone he meets with joy (even the vet and groomer!), and loves his belly rubs and chew toys. He is fully house-trained and walks well on a leash. As a result of his prior likely mistreatment, his nervous system is a bit overwhelmed. This shows up in the way he protects himself and his things (toys/treats), and he has the ability to snap/bite if pushed past his comfort zone. *** He needs an experienced adopter who will give him time to settle in, read his body language, and teach him not to fear, but for that right person, he will be the sweetest, most loving little fellow. *** Fozzie will be best set up to succeed in a • A calm, adult-only home • An experienced, patient adopter who understands fearful dogs • Someone who is home most of the time as he has separation anxiety when left alone • A house, not an apartment (ideally with a fenced-in yard for him to run!) because he howls when left alone With structure, boundaries, and respect, he will be a loyal, loving companion. For the right person, he will be incredibly rewarding. For the wrong situation, he will be overwhelmed and we do not want to set him - or you - up for failure. If you think you may be the right home for Fozzie, please text/call Aly at 732-604-0625. We also have additional photos/videos to share. Thank you for caring about a pet in need! Please NOTE: Fozzie is currently located in the Boston, MA area. The adoption fee listed is in order for the rescue to recoup actual expenses from his vetting, transport, and care.
