My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Munch is a fun and playful pup looking for a loving home. He was taken away from his previous owner after he was neglected and starved. Munch was fostered and returned to health by the local animal control officer who rescued him. He’s a happy, healthy, playful pup, eager to find his forever family.
He is approximately five years old, and he weighs 25 lbs. His breed mix is a bit of a mystery—though his previous owner claimed he’s part Chihuahua, it’s clear he must be mixed with something larger. With his energy and love for adventure, Munch is searching for a family who can provide plenty of daily mental and physical activity. He loves to go for walks, play outside, and run around our fenced area. He likes other dogs but has a rough-and-tumble play style that not every dog enjoys. He got along very well with the cat in his foster home. Munch can be mouthy when he gets excited, so we are looking for a home with older kids. He has had all of his vet care and is ready for adoption.


If you are interested in adopting a dog, please fill out our dog adoption application here: http://medfieldshelter.com/adopt. Our adoption fee for dogs ages 7 months - 7 years is $450. Dogs 8 years and up are $250. Every dog we place is vaccinated, wormed, treated for ticks/fleas, and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. We send each dog home with a collar and leash.

With very few exceptions, dogs are happiest and the most well-behaved when they receive daily exercise and ongoing training, so we always prefer to place our dogs with families who are willing to make a commitment to both.

All adoption meetings are by appointment only as we only have two employees. Our manager or one of our volunteers will be happy to set up an appointment for you to come meet the pets, but please fill out the adoption application first.

More about this shelter

The Medfield Animal Shelter's mission is to rescue lost or abandoned animals and provide for their comfort and safety until they are reunited with their owners or placed in new homes. We are a no-kill shelter, which means no pet will ever be euthanized because it has run out of time to find a home. We are committed to ending the overpopulation of pets that results in an estimated 5 million companion pets being euthanized at shelters in the U.S. every year, therefore all cats, rabbits and dogs adopted from us are spayed and neutered prior to adoption. We also sponsor a low cost spay/neuter clinic for cats at our shelter once a month.
