Story
Hi, The dog is a Pitbull Terrier and he is being rehomed due to my mother being very allergic to him. We are very saddened to have to give him away since he is the nicest and sweetest dog we have ever had. That is why we are looking for family to adopt him (preferably with kids since he LOVES to play and is very active). We do not want any money for him just to find him the best home possible. We will not give him to anyone looking to turn him into a guard dog or with intent of making him aggressive in any way shape or form. In personality he is very timid and easily scared by new things and experiences. He requires a lot of love and patience since it takes him a second to get used to something new. He is house trained and will not go to the bathroom until taken outside. He recently turned 2 years and is in perfect health. We got him from a family friend whos' dog had a litter unexpectedly.

Story
Meet Miss Lola! Lola is a super sweet girl who adores human affection- both adult and children! Lola loves being near her foster mom and dad and enjoys being pet. Lola has a four year old (human) foster sister who loves her, and the love is mutual. She doesn't mind kids getting rowdy and she's so sweet and polite. Lola is very well house-trained and while she does not need to be crated, she does sleep in her crate at night. While Lola is a pretty good leash walker, she does have a tendency to pull a little bit on her leash. We believe with a harness this can be easily corrected. Miss Lola is diabetic. She is currently wearing a continuous glucose monitor that her foster scans every 8 hours for the vet to determine her optimal insulin dose. The glucose monitor is temporary but she will continue to take insulin twice a day. Lola has made administration of insulin an easy part of her day for her foster. While Lola came to our care underweight, we are working on helping her get to a healthier weight. When Lola was introduced to other dogs in her foster home she was generally indifferent to them. Lola is good at being crated with other dogs around, and will respect baby gates. She has shown no barrier aggression, and is not aggressive to the sight of other dogs. Still we recommend she is a solo dog in her home due to resource guarding with food that can become aggressive. She should not be in a home with cats. Lola is a loving dog and we know she deserves a happy life, will it be with you? If you are interested in finding out more about Lola, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: http://bit.ly/2JnZqK5 Lola is being fostered in Worcester, and her adoption fee is $150.

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.

Story
Adorable young Neo is super serious in pictures but such a happy boy in person. This 16 month old pup is looking for a home that will appreciate a happy, rompy boy like him. Neo has plenty of energy, and a very good natured personality. Neo may be able live with other gently playful dogs like him, but they would have to meet first. He would do best with older kids, as he is still a young, strong guy who can't wait to learn more from his new home. We are unsure about cats, as Neo did come to the shelter without a background of living with them. Neo has snuggled his way into the hearts of WARL staff, now he is looking for a new start. If you are viewing Neo, and interested in meeting him on a site other than worcesterarl.org, please head to that website and click on his photo to fill out the Dog Adoption Inquiry Form. That would be the first step in meeting this wonderful pup.
