My personality

My story

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

Amigo does really well with attention, and likes playing with toys. He is calm with other dogs in the play yard and does very well on leash. He has a good time sniffing out the treat tidbits in the yard.

He is VERY clean in his kennel and immediately goes potty when taken out, suggesting he is house trained. Cats might not be his thing.

Some dogs require a home visit. In some cases, a home visit is not required. It depends on factors such as fencing, children, & other pets.

Additional adoption info

We do not adopt on a first-come-first-serve basis, but rather by the best match between pet and family, although we will factor in the order of applications if there are equally good matches.

More about this rescue

At Lighthouse Animal Shelter, an all volunteer, 501(c)3 organization, we promote the welfare of animals at risk of euthanasia. We also work with the community to maximize efforts in reducing pet overpopulation.

We rescue the majority of our dogs from high-intake shelters down south (the majority being from Kentucky, South Carolina & North Carolina) and get organize transport to our New Bedford shelter for adoption. We focus on last-call death row dogs.

The cats in our care are all local strays or surrenders and are generally adults to seniors.
