Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rocco is a young Pit Bull Terrier/Bull Terrier mix with a Valentine's Day birthday (Feb 14, 2025) — fitting, since he's got so much love to give once you earn his trust! We adopted him through Adopt-a-Pet.com. His previous owners reported conflicts with other dogs, especially over food, leaving him with some scars, and recommended he be the only pet going forward — a setup where he's truly thrived with us. Rocco is goofy, playful, and full of energy, loving long walks, runs, and lake swims. He can be reserved with new people at first, checking in with us before deciding someone's safe, but once he trusts you, he becomes the most loyal and affectionate companion. Despite unfair breed stereotypes, he's proven himself gentle, sweet, and endlessly goofy. We're sadly rehoming him since my husband developed a severe dog allergy. We hope his next home keeps him as the only pet and gives him the love and companionship he deserves. Adjectives: Loyal, goofy, playful, affectionate, energetic.

Story
Meet Marta,Marta is an energetic girl who has a lot of energy to burn! She enjoys lots of play time especially with her dog friends! She is still a puppy and has a lot to learn. She would benefit from positive reinforcement training as she is still a puppy and has not quite yet figured out hands are not toys. She needs some help working on her basic manners such as walking on leash, possibly crate training, house training and how to self regulate as she just wants to play all the time! She is a very food motivated and toy motivated girl who is too smart for her own good and learns quickly. She has taken to clicker training quickly and this will be a good tool for any future family. We all love Marta`s funny personality and you will too!Marta is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY however, we are unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.For more information on this dog or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston please visit us during our adoption center hours: Wednesdays-Sundays from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, Tuesdays by appointment only from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, closed Mondays & Holidays.For information about our adoption process click here

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: NoGood with kids: Older, dog-savvy kidsCrate trained: YesHouse trained: Yes Meet Drip! She is a playful and adventurous gal who is ready to join you in whatever you do!  This energetic and go with the flow girl will do well in a home with or without a canine sibling, as long as she gets all the pets and snuggles that her sweet heart desires.Drip gets along great with other dogs and loves to run around with her friends. She can get a little excited when she's playing, but she takes their correction well and adjusts. She would likely do best with older, dog-savvy kids given her affectionate nature. She focuses too much on cats (and chickens!) when meeting them, so she would do best in a home without any cats or other small creatures. She loves any ball or toy that goes squeak! After her playtime, she settles in her crate or will curl up with you for cuddle time. This good girl is fully house trained and crate trained. She loves her crate and runs in for a treat. She may bark or a minute or two if she still sees you, but will then settle right in. Drip loves going for walks and is great on a leash, but is still working on her manners as she gets very excited when she meets new people or sees rogue squirrels.  With consistency and patience she is sure to learn calm greetings. Drip is a sweet girl who would love a family to share all her love with. Could yours be the one she's been waiting for?*Drip is part of our Foster to Adopt (FTA) program for Apoquel.*Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted.
