Story
This cutest senior PAL Haze is a local dog with a sad story - he is looking for his happy ending. This is a courtesy post and he will have a reduced adoption fee.  Haze was surrendered to our Veterinarian because his owner lost her housing and she had nowhere to live. He is now currently being cared for by the vet staff and he is looking for a forever home to live out his golden years.  Haze is a incredibly sweet 11 year old terrier mix. He loves long walks on the beach, chew toys, and lots of treats. Haze has a perma smile on his frosty white face - he’s just adorable !! He is crate trained and is a smart & silly guy!  He really loves his people and we believe he would do best living as a single pet in the home. He has met some kids and done great, and has even lived with a cat!  If you have space in your home for this loving senior PAL, please fill out an application ASAP and we will connect you with the vets office @newburyport_veterinary_clinic ________________located in Newburyport MA 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
Reese is a 3 year old dog who we adopted from New England Lab Rescue in 2021. She is a really loving girl and is fantastic with children and families, but unfortunately does not do well with our other female dog. Reese loves attention and cuddle time, and still thinks she is a lap dog at 65 lbs. She will thrive in a family environment with a good sized yard or going for lots of walks, but should be the only pet in the home. Reese has been through formal training and when you have her attention, she will obey commands. She receives her current veterinary care from Lexington Bedford Animal Hospital and is fully up to date with all of her care.
