Story
Short legs, big head, and an even bigger smile… let Billy waddle his way into your heart with his grin and those eyes of his. Challenge- try not to smile while he is headed your way. It’s hard! This blocky little heartthrob is friendly, affectionate, and carries himself with that easy, “happy to be here” energy that just puts people at ease. He greets new people with warmth, leans into love without being pushy, and has a natural way of checking in with his person that is just so endearing. He’s got that built-in desire to please, the kind you don’t have to teach… it’s just who he is. Go watch Billy Blockhead Bestie Energy on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this low-riding lovebug. https://youtu.be/uDLmKvwuc-0?si=8sDslC0j-87mgWmm Billy is estimated to be 2 years old, weighs 49 lbs, and is some version of a bully- staffie… pittie…? Who knows? Not us with confidence. Our favorite thing about him, besides the winning smile, it’s that he is the sweet spot- happy to join you wherever but never looking to turn your living room into a racetrack. He’s house and crate trained, has lovely manners in the home, and knows how to settle without needing constant direction. He’s met kids and was exactly what you’d hope for… gentle, polite, no jumping, no chaos, just a friendly little guy keeping things calm and easy. The kind of dog who aims to fit into a home instead of flipping it upside down. With other dogs, Billy leans more “mind my business” than party host. He is thoughtful, cautious and even slightly unsure at first, but he listens well to guidance, takes corrections easily, and shows nice social awareness. He does well in playgroups with a wide variety of dogs but clearly has an affection for low to medium energy females. He has been in a foster him with another male dog and he shared toys and wrestled in the dog bed with him. Billy was introduced to our house cat and was curious but did show a respectfulness that makes us feel good that with guidance and a dog-savvy, confident cat he could join a home with a feline friend. Of course, if you are interested we are more than happy to arrange a Kitty Committee Slumber Party to get a clear view of his approach to cats. Also, although he has a wonderful crate routine, he can occasionally get a little vocal when he’s ready to be out and about, so a home environment (rather than apartment living) would suit him best. What really stands out about Billy is how easy he is to love. He’s soft, steady, affectionate, and just wants to be near his people, doing life alongside you without asking for much in return besides some yummy treats and belly scratches. A solid companion with a signature pittie grin and a body built for cozy corners and couch hangs… Billy is ready to be someone’s very good decision and dream bestie. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key best friend with a little extra character packed into a short-legged frame, Billy is ready and waiting for you! Apply today and welcome home your blockhead bestie! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69e56a86a51ccc94ad0ebd00 Questions?

Story
*Due to state laws regarding out of state adoptions, we cannot adopt to families in Massachusetts or Rhode Island.* Fred is an older gentle giant. We think between 5-7 years old. His adoption fee has been reduced due to age. He still has plenty of years of love to give and we would love to find him his forever family to finally go home to. Listed breed is an educated guess made by our veterinarian and is NOT a guarantee - this also means we have no way of knowing what a puppy's adult size will be. This dog is currently being fostered in Mississippi and will be transported via Barton's Barkers transport services upon adoption. Their adoption fee is $500 and includes spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, a nose to tail vet check, microchip and transport costs. Second Chances lists dogs as being available in White River Junction, VT because we transport our dogs to the area every 3rd week after they have been adopted. All of our local shelters have a high euthanasia rate due to overpopulation so we created our rescue group to primarily adopt to the northern states to help keep as many dogs as we can from entering our kill shelters.   ##2071717##

Story
Summit Snuggle Peak has his whole life ahead of him, and right now that life is pretty sweet. At 4 weeks old, his schedule consists mostly of puppy playtime, cuddling close, exploring a little bit more each day, and taking plenty of naps in between. Summit is a typical young puppy whose personality is still developing. Every new sound, smell, toy, and experience is part of him learning about the world, and watching him grow over the next several weeks will be half the fun. He will eventually need all of the usual puppy training and structure as he gets older. His adopter should be ready for potty training, teaching good manners, helping him build confidence, and giving him plenty of positive experiences while he grows. Summit is looking for a family ready for the full puppy experience: the goofy moments, the learning stages, the sleepy cuddles, and everything that comes with helping a little dog become a beloved family companion. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a8ee6e80fb77287a903f29c If you think Summit Snuggle Peak is amazing you should check out his profile and adopt!

Story
River Wildheart is only 4 weeks old, which means most of his days are currently filled with the very serious puppy business of playing, eating, sleeping, and being ridiculously cute. His personality is just starting to unfold, and there is so much more waiting to be discovered as he grows. River is a happy little puppy who enjoys being around his siblings and taking in everything happening around him. Like most puppies his age, he can go from playful and curious to completely asleep in what feels like about thirty seconds. He is at the very beginning of his journey and will still need to learn all the things that come with being part of a family. Potty training, manners, routines, socialization, and learning how to navigate the world will all come with time, consistency, and lots of encouragement. For someone who wants to experience every stage of puppyhood and watch a tiny personality grow into something completely his own, River could be a very special little companion. If you think River Wildheart is amazing you should check out his profile and adopt! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a8ee6ade25b09eb0c0e085f Questions?
