Story
Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: Yes, with proper introsGood with cats: NoGood with kids: Older children only (16+)Crate trained: YesHouse trained: YesYou’ve heard of the Great Houdini, but without further ado, allow us to introduce the Great Santini!Unlike Houdini, the only trick Santini will pull is wiggling her way into your heart.Santini is a wonderful dog that has spent the last few months refining her training skills. Santini has excellent manners and is house trained and crate trained. She would love to show off everything she has learned including sit, stay, down, and heel (for a treat of course)! Santini is happy to fit into her humans' routine and picks up quickly on new commands. She is very accommodating, walks well on a leash, and corrects/redirects easily. Santini loves to play, but is also happy to hang out with her people around the house.Santini would do best as the only dog in the house with an experienced dog owner who can maintain consistent boundaries and expectations to help her succeed and feel reassured. She is an athletic gal who loves to chase after balls and show off her signature ‘hopping prance’. She would love to have a fenced in yard or a local fenced in area so she can show off her moves! When she has finally expended all of her energy you can find her searching for the best sunbathing spot to take a snooze in. Santini is a sweet, gentle soul who wants nothing more than to be loved and make you laugh with her goofy antics.Please Note: All dogs are posted 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.November 9, 2025, 11:56 pm

Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: Yes, dog- savvy catsGood with kids: Yes, dog-savvy kids (10+) Crate trained: Mostly (sleeps through the night in her crate)House trained: MostlyThis sweet girl is Lexley. Her adorable, expressive face and calm, soulful eyes make it easy to fall in love at first sight. She’s a big fan of curling up for a cozy nap but is always ready to spring into action when it’s time for fun. Whether she’s joyfully tossing around a toy or exploring her surroundings, Lexley brings a gentle, steady energy to every moment. Her affectionate nature and easygoing spirit make her a very special companion.Lexley gets along beautifully with other dogs, greeting new canine friends with enthusiasm. She is curious about new humans, and may take a few minutes to warm up to new human friends. Once she opens up, she is a sweetheart and will thrive with a patient family. She’s met cats on leash and, while a bit curious, is mostly more interested in the people around her - especially if there are pets or snuggles involved! Lexley would do best in a home with dog-savvy children over the age of 10 who will respect her space and give her time to warm up in her new environment. She truly thrives on love and connection, no matter who’s giving it.She’s still polishing her crate training and potty training and is doing really well on a schedule. Lexley does well in her crate overnight, but can be vocal during the day when her family is at work. Lexley is also quickly getting the hang of leash walking; she loves being outside and is eager to please, making every walk a joy.If you’re searching for a sweet, affectionate, and fun-loving companion that will deliver endless smiles to your home, Lexley is your lady.Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted.

This medium-energy pup enjoys her daily walks but is equally content lounging on the couch with her humans. Juliet's easygoing nature means she would do well in nearly any home ready to welcome her with open arms.Juliet gets along beautifully with other dogs and is respectful of their cues. She's fostered with other pups and adjusts her play style accordingly, so she'd do well with or without a canine sibling. She lived with cats in her previous foster home and coexisted peacefully with them. She would do fine with a dog-savvy cat in the home. Her friendly, gentle disposition will likely do well with children. Juliet loves her chew ropes and toys, and one of her favorite ways to show affection is with sweet face kisses!Juliet is a smart girl who's eager to please. She is fully crate trained and house trained. She is crated during the day and overnight without any issues and has had zero accidents since coming north. Juliet walks well on leash and is improving her leash manners. She may pull with excitement at first but settles in quickly as she navigates her new environment.This affectionate, well-rounded girl is ready to bring so much joy to her forever home.

She is generally pretty low energy, but she does enjoy playing in short spurts. She likes short walks but does not require high levels of exercise. When she needs some attention, she loves to wave her paw at you!Cherub gets along with other dogs after proper intros since she can be a little timid with them at first. She has lived with a cat at her  foster home and pretty much ignored it, so a cat in the home would be no issue. She would be fine with older dog savvy kids who will allow her to interact at her own pace.Cherub is house trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash. She responds to "sit" and "down", and has a pretty good recall.Cherub is a sweet girl with lots of love to give.

Story
MEET PONGO! - I am in foster, please contact the shelter to meet me!*My adoption fee is waived via Daisy`s Fund*Pongo is a loveable pup who is housebroken and a superstar with other pups and cats. In addition to his love for other animals, he loves to be around people and rest his big velvety head on your lap. In foster, he is doing excellent with crate training, and sleeps through the night in his crate like a champ. Since he is fearful in the shelter environment, he is awaiting adoption in a loving home environment where he is able to receive lots of training and playtime with other dogs. If you make an appointment to meet this sweetheart, you`ll get rewarded with so much love and unlimited scratches of his velvety-soft ears. We recommend a larger kid or adult only household as he still has puppy energy.Check out his video!Pongo is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.For more information on Pongo or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.
