Story
Meet Sailor! He is around 2 years old, and a rescue pit mix. I fostered him through the snow storm in January, and got a message shortly after returning him to the shelter that he was up for euthanization. The reason for this was due to “aggression toward another dog”. I have since adopted him and had him through several interactions with other dogs and he has been fine. He gets along well with my Chihuahua mix at home. Sailor is playful, vibrant, and always down for a cuddle on the couch. I am hoping to find him a forever home where he can be safe and loved. He is young and inexperienced, so he will require some patience and training, but he is extremely smart and has so much love to give! Please reach out if you think Sailor could be a good fit for you.

Story
Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: Yes, with proper introsGood with cats: Yes, dog savvy catsGood with kids: Older children only (13+)Crate trained: YesHouse trained: YesZaria is an affectionate, and loyal girl with a real zest for life. She is a medium energy dog who enjoys a play session, followed by a nap. She benefits from slow introductions to other dogs. She would also be fine as an only dog. Zaria happily entertains herself with toys or a romp in the backyard. She has lived with cats and has for the most part ignored their presence. Zaria loves her people and enjoys making new human friends. She can be an enthusiastic greeter and sometimes forgets her size, so older dog-savvy children would be best for her. Zaria enjoys going for walks around the neighborhood and looks to her humans for reassurance and guidance in new situations. Zaria is an intelligent girl and very eager to please. She knows a plethora of commands, and loves to learn new things every day. She is fully house trained and crate trained. Zaria enjoys relaxing in her crate throughout the day and sleeps soundly in it overnight. She is looking for an experienced and patient adopter who will continue to provide her with structure and routine so she can continue to be her best self. Are you the lucky family who gets to add Zaria to your bunch?Please Note: All dogs are posted until they are officially adopted.

He is a lovable, affectionate boy with a huge personality and an even bigger heart! This medium-energy pup has bursts of playful energy mixed with plenty of couch snuggle time. Hotch would do well in an active home to take him on fun walks and provide him with a lot of love.Hotch is very sociable and gets along wonderfully with other dogs of all ages and sizes. He would do well with or without a canine sibling. Hotch was curious about the cats in his foster home and would do fine with dog-savvy cats who don't mind a friendly sniff. He has done well with children ages 1 to 9 who are used to dogs, though he greets bigger and smaller humans alike, so he'd do best with dog-savvy kids. Hotch enjoys playing with stuffed toys and loves his walks around the neighborhood!This smart boy is eager to please! He is fully crate trained (sometimes just needing a little coaxing with a treat) and house trained. Hotch is crated during the day and overnight without any issues. He transitioned easily to potty training and has had zero accidents since coming north. Hotch is excellent on leash. If you're looking for an adventure buddy by day and snuggle buddy at night, then this goofy, lovable boy is for you!Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted.
