Story
BRAD is a nervous boy who has been settling in with his foster, decompressing, and showing himself to be an affectionate pup. OTHER PETS: Brad was unsure meeting dogs at the shelter and would likely do best as an only pet. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER Brad will do best with someone who has experience with positive reinforcement while helping a nervous dog gain confidence. Brad has some anxiety going through doors, and meeting new people, so a slow introduction to new stimuli and the world will be essential in helping him feel comfortable in a new home and environment. While he has been nervous going through doors, barriers should be used while he is still nervous so he doesn't accidentally become startled and find himself lost. [Some Experience] KIDS: Brad bonds closely with his people as he becomes more relaxed. He is very affectionate and social, but young children may be frightening to him. He would be a best fit for teens and older humans that would be able to recognize when he needs space, and when he requests interactions. [15+ / Dog Savvy (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Brad enjoys playing in the foster's fenced yard, and so far is going on short walks as he builds confidence and takes in his surroundings. He is a combination of playful and affectionate, and will benefit from regular exercise, and plenty of mental enrichment such as food puzzles and games to help meet his needs. Mental stimulation is incredibly important for all dogs, and can help worried dogs cope with the world. Because he is nervous, a leash or fence will be necessary for all outings. [Couch Potato / Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: [Average]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Brad bond with his new owner as well as help him learn new skills and tricks. Positive reinforcement, and counterconditioning will help him create happy associations with things he finds scary. Helping Brad continue to blossom will mean letting him learn about new things at his own pace without being forced. GROOMING: Occasional brushing will help keep Brad's coat clean.

Story
Sonata arrived at TJO shut down and fearful. She was slow to trust, but eventually grew brave enough to venture outside and has been building her confidence every day since. She still has some amount of stanger danger, and will require slow introductions with anyone new she may be meeting. But given time and patience, she'll settle into your life like she's always been there.OTHER PETS: Sonata was relaxed when meeting one dog, but intense when meeting another. She is dog selective and would likely do well with another relaxed dog that will co-exist with her, but would also be happy as an only dog. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Sonata would do best with someone that has experience with positive reinforcement and nervous dogs in order to help her adjust to her new environment and the new people she may meet. She will do best with very slow introductions to new things, at her pace. [Some Experience]KIDS: Sonata is nervous and would likely do best in a quiet home without a lot of activity or foot traffic. She also has some pain in her hind end that makes her a bit sensitive to certain types of handling. She could do well with older children that can understand how to best interact with her and when to let her have her own space. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Sonata is a nervous dog that often prefers to keep to herself while curled up on her bed. While her level of energy may change outside of the shelter once she decompresses and gains confidence, she is currently content with short walks when the weather is fair. A combination of mental enrichment like puzzle toys or a treat-filled kong, and regular exercise, will help to keep her mind happy and healthy. [Couch Potato]VETERINARY CARE: Sonata is currently on pain medication for some stiffness in her back legs, which could be from a past injury or something related to her age. She will likely need above average vet care to ensure that she remains comfortable as she continues to age. [Above Average]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Sonata will do best learning with someone who can offer patience while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Sonata not only learn her basic cues, but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner as well. [Minimal]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]December 9, 2025, 4:03 pm

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Springfield, MA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Due to my father’s inability to care for him, Jasper is not getting the exercise or attention he needs. He only goes out to eat and use the bathroom, and this lack of stimulation has led to anxiety and destructive behavior around the house. It is me and my father living at home, he’s never been around children so i’m unsure how his behavior would be around them. Jasper would thrive in a home where he can get regular exercise, mental stimulation, and a stable routine. He needs a patient, experienced owner who can help him work through his anxiety and offer him the attention he deserves. Jasper is a 4-year-old dog. He shows food-related aggression toward other dogs and must be kept separate when eating if you have other pets. He is not aggressive toward people with his food. If you’re interested in Jasper, please reach out.

Story
Meet Morty — From Rags to Riches Morty’s story is one of resilience, healing, and heart. Once part of a heartbreaking local hoarding case, Morty arrived in our care in dire condition — battling pneumonia, dangerously underweight, and suffering from a severely infected leg injury that vets believe was caused by a stabbing wound. But thanks to the unwavering love and dedication of his foster mom, Morty’s transformation has been nothing short of miraculous. A True Survivor Morty received round-the-clock care, including daily steam showers, warmth, medication, and all the cuddles he could handle. Today, he’s thriving — full of energy, joy, and love. His spirit is unbreakable, and his tail never stops wagging! Playful & Adventurous Morty is an active boy who adores toys (especially squeaky ones!) and is always up for a walk or hike through the woods or reservoir. He’d love a fenced yard to romp around in and would be thrilled with trips to the dog park or doggie daycare. Cuddle Bug Extraordinaire When it’s time to wind down, Morty transforms into the ultimate snuggle buddy. He loves curling up in bed with his foster mom and soaking up every ounce of affection. He’s the perfect mix of playful and cozy. Great with Families Morty would do well in a home with or without another dog. He enjoys canine companionship but is just as happy being your one and only. What he truly needs is a family who will cherish him and continue giving him the love he deserves. Ready for His Forever Morty has come so far — from a life of neglect to one filled with comfort and joy. Now, he’s ready to find his forever family and live the life of leisure he’s earned. Apply Today!!! Don’t miss out on this incredible boy. Morty is ready to bring laughter, love, and loyalty into your life. Let’s give him the happy ending he’s been waiting for!
