Story
MEET DUNCAN!Duncan is a cute, snuggly, and playful puppy who gained a little confidence in a foster home while still enjoying his independence. Though initially unsure of his surroundings, he quickly found comfort in his bed, making it his safe space and happily engaging in independent play with soft, crinkly, squeaky toys. Duncan enjoys food and is a good eater, showing particular enthusiasm for his Kong filled with peanut butter. He slept soundly through the night and became comfortable resting in his crate during car rides. While he has grown more confident outside sniffing, showing burst of puppy energy, and even enjoying snow, Duncan clearly prefers the coziness of being indoors and eagerly heads back home. He is learning to walk on leash and is becoming more relaxed with each outing. Inside, Duncan truly shines, offering sweet snuggles, playful moments and a joyful puppy presence that makes him such a fun guy to be around.Duncan is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.For more information on Duncan or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.

Story
Meet the sweet and sensitive Spot. This girl has had a pretty rough past, but she`s ready to start fresh. Spot came from an unsafe and unsanitary enviornment where she never got to practice being a `real dog.` This means that everything outside of her previous living environment is new(and therefore, frightening) to her. She is looking for a safe place to land where she can slowly come out of her shell at her own pace- without any expectations. She would benefit from a very quiet, predictable environment where no social pressure could be put on her.

Story
Jade is a charming older gal who is looking for that special someone to be the center of her world. Jade is a busy lady who would thrive in a quiet environment with a consistent routine and a family who is ready to make adjustments as she continues to settle in. Jade can be a tad worried when meeting new people, but once she warms up, she is falling into your lap wanting endless pets. She is a dog with some medical needs and requires a close relationship with a vet. Jade says no thanks to living with dogs and maybe to living with quiet tweens or teens. If you think Jade sounds like the companion you`ve been waiting for, come in to start the matchmaking conversation!

Australian Cattle Dog

Female, Adult
Malden, MA

Details
Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I got Panda when I was separated from the Navy. It was during Covid. She was in a foster program where they had rescued her from a neglectful and abusive home. I was living in Texas at that time. Panda is very sweet, she loves cuddling and sleeping on the bed with me. Whenever sirens go by the house, she will start howling. She rarely ever barks. Unless a dog near her starts barking. She can be a bit skittish so she needs someone who is gentle with her. Ive have realized that she is a little scared of some men. But if you work with her with bribing treats, she will warm up to the men. She is very people focused. So I am looking for someone who does not have kids or at least older kids. She used to have a best friend who was a Belgian Malinois, so she is fine with dogs. But she does like her space and she will nip and growl if the other dog starts to annoy her. But she will play with them once she get used to them. She does like little dogs.

Story
Once was a momma — now a friend looking for a family of her own to love her Meet Rosie – a sweet, soulful girl ready for her fresh start! This beautiful 3-year-old, 40 lb shepherd mix was left behind as a stray in rural Texas, found caring for a litter of puppies (you may remember the adorable Lion King litter—Rosie is their amazing mama!). She’s been through a lot, including heartworm treatment, and now she’s healthy, happy, and ready to head north in search of her forever home. Rosie is a gentle and loving companion who just needs a little time to feel safe—once she does, her personality blossoms After about a week in her foster home, she transformed into a snuggly, playful sweetheart. She loves to run, play with toys, and has a funny habit of collecting shoes (don’t worry—she doesn’t chew them, she just builds a little pile of her fav treasures!). She’s also got a calm, chill side—perfect for someone who works from home. She enjoys snoozing next to the resident dog and is great on leash, happy to go for walks and sniff everything along the way. Rosie is still building confidence in new situations and around new people. This gal can be timid & would thrive as a second dog in a home with another calm, confident pup, or with someone who has experience with shy dogs. If you’re patient, loving, and ready to watch a gentle soul blossom, Rosie will absolutely steal your heart. crste trained & housebrokenspayed, vaccinated & microchipped————————Rosie is available for adoption in October  *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.
