Story
This adorable 12-lb/ @ 5-year-old schnauzer mix had a rough start to life—spending the first part of her life living in a yard, overbred and without proper socialization. Because of that, she can be shy when first meeting new people and will need time to feel safe. Agatha is just as sweet as she looks. But don’t let her initial timid nature fool you. With a bit of patience, gentle sweet talk and a treat or two, Agatha quickly starts to blossom. Once she trusts you, she transforms into the ultimate lap dog who wants nothing more than to be your very best friend. Agatha has been fostered with both dogs and cats and does well around them, but she would also be fine as an only dog in the home.  She’s looking for a calm, loving home that understands shy dogs and is ready to give her the kindness she’s always deserved. Thoughtful humans, slow introductions to new things, lots of love and a cozy lap are the keys to Agatha’s heart. needs a chill, small dog savvy home  would love to be the apple of someone's eye shy gal/a thinker best with slow introductions to new things!

Story
McGraw (aka “The Audacity in a Fur Coat” ) McGraw is a 6-month-old Schnauzer mix who radiates confidence, charm, and pure audacity. He’s cute — offensively cute — which is fortunate, because he’s also a bit of a menace. Honestly, he’s lucky he’s handsome. It’s the only reason we haven’t sent him packing for his unapologetic antics. He’s brilliant, but not in a helpful way. You can expect a constant stream of feedback—he’s nothing if not expressive. He’ll let you know exactly how he feels about everything— sometimes through barking, sometimes through grumbling, and occasionally through what we’ll call “constructive growling.” Don’t worry, it’s mostly just his way of expressing that you’ve mildly inconvenienced him. He’s the type of dog who’ll steal your heart and your spot on the couch, then growl when you try to take it back. He does well with kids, cats, and other dogs — assuming everyone understands who’s in charge here (hint: it’s McGraw ). He’s crate trained, picking up house training, neutered, vaccinated, and running entirely on confidence and misplaced self-importance. He’ll make you laugh, cry, and question your life choices , often in the same hour. McGraw will require an adopter with either a lot of experience or the patience of a saint — preferably both. You’ll need a sense of humor, low blood pressure, and a good understanding of irony. If you enjoy sarcastic commentary, mildly toxic relationships, and being bossed around by someone under two feet tall, McGraw is your guy. Apply now, or don’t— his self esteem will remain unaffected.

Story
Meet Cooper! Cooper is a happy, affectionate boy who truly shines when he’s out and about with his people. He loves going for walks and would be just as content exploring a hiking trail as he would be curled up beside you for a movie marathon. When Cooper steps out of his kennel, his face lights up with the biggest, brightest smile; and we know that smile will only grow once he finds his perfect fur-ever home. Cooper was adopted and returned after struggling with anxiety around unfamiliar people. With a little patience, structure, and understanding, he shows just how loving and loyal he can be. To help set him up for success, Cooper comes with post-adoption training support to help his new family feel confident and supported every step of the way. Cooper is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. He would thrive as the only pet in an adult-only home where he can soak up all the love he deserves. In the right environment, this sweet boy is ready to be an amazing adventure buddy, couch companion, and best friend!

These pups are in Boston, Massachusetts too!
