Story
Pemi is wonderful - loving, joyful, healthy, and extremely smart and well-trained. She is adventurous and loves hikes, swimming, and playing. She is a great off-leash hiking companion with fantastic recall. As much as she loves adventures outside, she is equally happy curling up on the couch or by the fire, and spends most of her days snoozing. Pemi is extremely clever, knows a range of commands, and ignores distractions when focused. She loves to learn new tricks and is eager to please. As much as we love Pemi, she requires a specific environment to be her best self. She exhibits resource guarding with other dogs and needs to be the only pet in the home. Additionally, she is not suited for life with children. This became clear last month when, amidst the stress of a move to a new environment, she bit our newly mobile son as he approached her food bowl. Pemi is looking for an adult-only household where she can enjoy adventures and snuggles without the unpredictability of little ones.

Story
Hello hello from Kai! She is a 14 year old spayed female staffy, and boy does she have the happiest smile in the world! This frosted lady is looking for her forever home to live out the rest of her days in. She can be a tinge shy at first, but she warms up quickly if you give her just a little time- and she LOVES tennis balls!Kai needs to be the only dog in her home & does not want any canine friends. We are unsure how she may be with a cat, but she may be happiest as the only pet in her new home. As for kiddos, she may do well with a very dog-savvy older child.Our shelter is open Tuesday-Sunday from 12-4 (closed Mondays). If you are interested in this pet, please review our adoption process at www.lowellhumanesociety.org/adoption/#process so you`re prepared to adopt & stop by the shelter with the required information to take home this pet.
