Story
Scooby is a playful, outdoors-loving boy who truly shines once he`s had a little time to get comfortable. New faces can take a moment, but when he warms up, he turns into a total snuggle bug! He loves being close to his people, lounging beside them with a long-lasting chew, enjoying long, cozy naps, and filling the room with joy thanks to his sweet, loving personality. And his unique bark? Always good for a laugh. Tennis balls are Scooby`s absolute favorite thing in the world! Because they`re so special to him, he appreciates humans who understand his body language and respect his space around his treasured toys. Scooby is happy to trade items when offered, and this helps him feel safe and secure with the things he loves most. Scooby would do best with adopters who are patient, kind, and committed to positive-reinforcement training. He`s looking for someone who`s happy to move at his pace, let him enjoy entertaining himself with his toys, and then settle in for some well-earned cuddle time. With the right people, Scooby is a truly wonderful companion ready to bring lots of love (and laughs) into your life.*If going home with another dog, a dog meet is required on campus first

Story
Meet Sunshine! Sunshine truly lives up to her name. She`s a big, bright personality with so much love to give, and she enjoys being right in the middle of the action with her people. In the shelter environment she was shy at first, but quickly blossomed into a goofy girl. She loves to explore, play with stuffed animals, and soak up all the attention she can get! Sunshine has big feelings about the volume of other dogs here at the shelter, and is looking for a home where she won`t be required to interact with other dogs, or see many dogs in her environment. It`s a big ask, but when she looks at you with those gorgeous hazel eyes like you`re the only person in the world, you`ll know she`s worth it. If you`re excited about positive reinforcement training and are searching for your other half, Sunshine might be the girl for you!

Story
Marsha is a sweet and sensitive soul who may be a little shy at first—but give her a bit of time, and you’ll discover a social, silly, and snuggly companion underneath. Once she feels safe, her playful personality really blossoms, and she loves being close to her favorite people. Marsha is a big fan of treats and enjoys training sessions, especially when they come with tasty rewards and praise. She thrives on positive reinforcement and is eager to build confidence. New environments can make her a bit nervous, so she’ll need a gentle introduction to her new home and routine. With patience, understanding, Marsha is sure to become a loyal and devoted companion.*If going home with another dog, a dog meet is required on campus first

Story
Meet Chloe! This girly might be shy at first, but quickly blossoms into a friendly and playful buddy. She spent some time in a foster home before joining us at the MSPCA, where she enjoyed hanging out with her people and playing with toys of all kinds (stuffies beware - she`s a shredder!). She`ll happily settle down with some strong toys, or a frozen Kong filled with peanut butter. She`ll thrive with an adopter who`s excited about training using positive reinforcement, and able to manage some frustration while they workshop her space.*If going home with another dog, a dog meet is required on campus first

Story
We think Meredith is a Puggle mixed with an adorable bully breed. Basically… the recipe for maximum cuteness and fun. ‍ This adorable tiny low riding gal has the thick little trunk, a snooshy wrinkly face, and the cutest stubby legs. She’s truly one of those dogs that makes everyone stop and say “oh my gosh she’s so cute.”   Meredith is crate trained and absolutely loves other dogs. She’s active, busy, and FULL of personality and charm, so she’s looking for a home that can match her fun, boisterous energy. She would thrive with people who enjoy an active pup and maybe even another dog to play with. If you’re looking for a ridiculously cute, happy, upbeat and playful little companion, Meredith might be your girl. @1-3 yo//only 25 lbs crate trained and housebroken good on leash & knows basic commands active and upbeat personality altered, vaccinated & microchipped  fostered in Massachusetts  please remember we are all volunteers &  incomplete applications will not be processed Apply to FOSTER or ADOPT today & get approved to bring a dog home.

Story
Hi, my name is Sonny. I just turned 6 years old May 25th. I love to cuddle and I’m a great companion. I love chasing the ball, going for long walks and runs. I’m loyal and good to my humans. Sonny has been with us for 6 years. We adopted him from Aruba when he was 4 months old. He is a “canuco” but looks like a pitbull lab mix. He is 60 pounds and good with our children. He does not get along with most dogs and has bit two dogs before. We are looking to find him a good home where he can be a great companion with plenty of space to run and be free. He loves to cuddle and sleep in bed with you. He does not like the mailman and barks when mail is delivered. He bit our parents dog who lives next door twice and he can’t be trusted with other dogs. He is a part of our family but we need to make sure this doesn’t happen again. He is up to date on shots and is really a loving good boy. He can run for miles and also be lazy all day.
