Story
Meet Pippa!You will never meet a happier dog than Pippa. This girl is ALL smiles, sunshine, and rainbows.Pippa is a one year old pit bull weighing about 47lbs. She's still got plenty of puppy energy and a BIG personality without being completely overwhelming. She's a polite, respectful little lady that will still enthusiastically jump on you to say hello and announce her presence but she won't climb all over you or knock you down. She'll be your best friend from the moment you meet her and, yes, she absolutely DOES kiss on the first date. This girl is fantastic with other dogs. She's got great dog manners and can read their body language and boundaries like an expert. She goes all in with slaps and play bows but, if they aren't about that, she backs off immediately while still trying to entice them into playing with her with full body wiggles. She previously lived with cats and she's done well with cats here (meaning they hiss at her and she can't get away fast enough). She also previously lived with kids so kids 8+ should be fine as long as the family has dog experience. Pippa is an active girl that loves tennis balls, walks, zooming around the agility course, and socializing with everything that moves. She has the most smoochable snoot around and loves a good snuggle just as much as she likes play time. This girl was put on this earth to be someone's heart dog; we just need that person to see her.Since she is a "restricted breed", you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application.

Story
Meet Maddox!Now that Maddox has been with us for a little over a month, we're REALLY starting to see that personality shine through...and oh boy, is it a goofy one 🤦â€\x8D♀ï¸\x8FMaddox is a 7yo male pit bull mix that weighs in at just under 70lbs. He's a big boy and, like most big boys go, he's a tender-hearted, sweet summer child, sensitive soul. His face ALWAYS looks like he got caught doing something he absolutely should not be doing even though he's never done a single thing wrong in his life...ever.A nervous boy at first, once Maddox is pretty confident that you aren't going to eat him, he's content to just plop next to wherever you are and hang out. That's not to say that he doesn't get the zoomies because he definitely does, especially outside...see photo evidence. His favorite past time is rolling around in the snow (or in the gravel for some reason). He's passionate about tennis balls, outside time, and butt/back scratches.Maddox has some decent training under his belt and knows his basics (sit, stay, come, down, etc) and knows his name...and actually responds to it. He's actually remarkably good on a leash for his size and isn't prone to being pully unless he reeeeeally has to pee. We're looking for an adult only home where Maddox can be the only animal. He isn't bad with other dogs but he doesn't really know how to act around them and he's...well, he's socially awkward. No aggression, just "mom, pick me up, I'm scared" energy.Since he's a "restricted breed", you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application.

Story
Sunny is a pure, unfixed American pitbull male that we purchased from a breeder as a puppy. He is incredibly well- bred, beautiful and healthy. He has never had any health issues and is 3 years old. He is a high energy, high caliber dog with a strong drive. He is loyal, protective and loves his people. He is weary of strangers, however he is friendly. Sunny needs a very experienced owner who is also physically fit enough to handle his strength as he is strong. He needs land to run, no children and an owner that has the time for him as he’s very athletic and high energy. Sunny isn’t your average pet dog however he really is a good boy and a great best friend. He really wants to please his people and tries hard to be a good boy although he is impulsive and can be reactive. He would be amazing with someone who can meet his needs. He would also be great in sports etc if you are experienced to train him! I can get more in detail about him over the phone or in person to meet him.

Swansea, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
He was rescued at 1 year old from a nonviolent elderly gentleman unable to care for him. He’s currently 5 years old and still has springs in his feet. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and he’s a love bug at heart who is willing to be a lap dog if allowed. Loves food, loves car rides, hiking, boat rides, and running on the beach. He can swim but gets nervous in the water. He isn’t aggressive with other dogs, but sometimes gets overly excited and he doesn’t know when to stop playing. He has successfully cohabitated with cats. Needs daily walks/exercise to manage energy. Does extremely well with a remote collar. He will kiss all of your guests to death if allowed. Perfect for a home with school age or older children or an active retiree. Needs consistent activity and love. He is chipped and has never missed a vet appointment or shot.

Details
Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Basil has been with us for 59 days and hasn't had a single application...or phone call...or meet.We get it. She's a big lady. She's almost 80lbs which is a whole lot of dog, coupled in with the fact that she's very much still a puppy at just about a year old and she has all of that bouncy, goofy puppy energy and endless enthusiasm for everything? It's a lot to ask of anyone. We get it. We do. But this sweet girl is so, so worth it.Do you want a best friend? Check. Do you want a personal trainer AND a cheerleader? Double check. Do you want someone to look at you like you hung the moon and all of the stars in the sky JUST for them? CHECK. Trust us, no one will ever love you as much as Basil will love you and no one will ever be happier to see you than she will be. She's a certified silly goose, a hammy ham for attention, a true goofy goober, and will be an endless source of entertainment.Did we mention she's also a snugglebug when it's naptime? Basil is smart, eager to please, eager to LEARN, and has a natural zest for life that we could all learn from. She's an active, sporty girl that would love to join you on hikes or beach trips. She does best with submissive male dogs because she's a bit of a dominant diva and she seems to be afraid of cats. We would prefer kids 12+ but may make exceptions for the right family that has experience. She is a boxer/American bulldog mix so, since she's a "restricted breed", you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.
