Story
Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: YesGood with kids: YesCrate trained: YesHouse Trained: YesLyra is a laid-back lovebug searching for her forever family to cozy up with. This certified couch potato adores snuggling and snoozing—just pardon her adorable snoring! But don’t let her chill vibe fool you—Lyra is anything but boring. When she’s not napping, she loves car rides, exploring the great outdoors, and chewing on her favorite toys.Lyra is wonderfully social and gets along with dogs of all shapes and sizes (her current BFF is a Great Dane!). She greets new dogs politely with a sniff and happily joins in if they want to play. If not, she respectfully moves on to find another buddy. She’s also been around kids ages 7 and 9 and was sweet and gentle with them. Cats? No problem—Lyra lived with felines in foster care and did great.Lyra's manners will impress you! She is house-trained, crate-trained, and has earned furniture privileges thanks to her good behavior. She loves her daily strolls and on leash, she’s a dream—aside from a little happy weaving when saying hello.Are you looking for the ultimate couch companion? Lyra is eager to claim her cushion in her forever home!Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website at www.lasthopek9.org.

Story
MY ADOPTION FEE WILL BE WAIVED 12/08-12/14!Meet Hazy! This sweet, spirited girl has so much love to give. She’s silly, energetic, outgoing, and incredibly smart! Hazy thrives with plenty of exercise, and in her previous home she enjoyed burning off energy by chasing balls, jogging, and even running alongside her family as they biked.She adores sniffy walks in the grass, playing with toys, soaking up pets, and meeting new people. Hazy would prefer to be the only animal in the home, but could be successful with kids who can participate in her training.Hazy can get a bit jumpy when she’s excited, so she’s looking for a family who will patiently help her learn calmer ways to show her enthusiasm. With guidance, structure, and lots of love, Hazy will make a joyful and devoted companion.

Story
Sonata arrived at TJO shut down and fearful. She was slow to trust, but eventually grew brave enough to venture outside and has been building her confidence every day since. She still has some amount of stanger danger, and will require slow introductions with anyone new she may be meeting. But given time and patience, she'll settle into your life like she's always been there.OTHER PETS: Sonata was relaxed when meeting one dog, but intense when meeting another. She is dog selective and would likely do well with another relaxed dog that will co-exist with her, but would also be happy as an only dog. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Sonata would do best with someone that has experience with positive reinforcement and nervous dogs in order to help her adjust to her new environment and the new people she may meet. She will do best with slow introductions introductions to the new things at her pace. [Some Experience]KIDS: Sonata is nervous and would likely do best in a quiet home without a lot of activity or foot traffic. She also has some pain in her hind end that makes her a bit sensitive to certain types of handling. She could do well with older children that can understand how to best interact with her and when to let her have her own space. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Sonata is a nervous dog that often prefers to keep to herself while curled up on her bed. While her level of energy may change outside of the shelter once she settles, she is currently content with short walks when the weather is fair. A combination of mental enrichment like puzzle toys or a treat-filled kong, and regular exercise, will help to keep her mind happy and healthy. [Couch Potato]VETERINARY CARE: Sonata is currently on pain medication for some stiffness in her back legs, which could be from a past injury or something related to her age. She will likely need above average vet care to ensure that she remains comfortable as she continues to age. [Above Average]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Sonata will do best learning with someone who can offer both patience and confidence while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Sonata not only learn her basic cues, but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner as well. [Minimal]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]December 8, 2025, 3:15 pm

Story
MY ADOPTION FEE WILL BE WAIVED 12/08-12/14!Star is a cute and fun lady who is ready to find a home of her own. She was surrendered with a limited history so we don`t know much about her life before her arrival, but she has been active and playful with shelter staff. She has been very quick to pick up on training and we think with some practice she will become a well mannered lady. Star does seem to have a bit of a prey drive, so we are recommeding she not live with cats or small animals. She can be a bit rude meeting new dogs, but might be able to live with a social and tolerant friend. Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog that’s a good match! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new dog or puppy the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources.
