Story
Introducing Emmy Our girl Emmy has been in foster for months + in that time she’s become family to her foster parents and to our whole team. She is one of those once-in-a-lifetime, extra-special dogs who steals every heart she meets. Emmy wants what every good dog deserves:A soft place to land,A loving family,A home to finally call her own. And the more time you spend with Emmy… the more you realize just how incredible she truly is. This brave mama was found last winter nursing her very fluffy puppies — DNA later confirmed she was indeed the mom to her adorable doodle-terrier crew! Her babies have all been adopted, while Emmy has spent her time healing both her body and her heart. She came to us with ear infections, itchy skin, allergies, and the aftermath of a painfully botched home ear-cropping. Despite all she went through, Emmy chose love. Today, she greets every person with a wagging tail, gentle eyes, and a whole lot of kisses. She’s the definition of a social butterfly. Emmy has been fostered with dogs of all sizes and would happily join a home with another friendly pup (or two!). She’s an easy, joyful companion who truly aims to please. Emmy’s Highlights: approx 3–4 years old / 50 lbs dog-friendly crate trained & housebroken & loves car eager to please food motivated medium energy affectionate, loving, loyal spayed, vaccinated, microchipped Fostered in MA — Apply to meet Emmy!She’s ready for her happily-ever-after… and she deserves nothing less. *Please note: We're an all-volunteer organization, and incomplete applications cannot be processed.* If you're interested in adopting a GBP rescue PAL, please submit an application through the link below.

Pemi

American Staffordshire Terrier Miniature Pinscher

Female, Young
Arlington, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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.
