My story

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

Meet Derek!

Derek and his brother Scotty were found roaming outside with their mom in Mississippi. These brothers likely had very little interaction with people before being brought to the shelter. Because of this they are very shy but are learning to trust humans. Collars, leashes, and living indoors are all new to them. They are each looking for a home with a patient owner and friendly resident dog.

They both LOVE dogs! In their new home they will look to the resident dog to teach them how to be social and live indoors. An ideal home for Derek or Scotty would have a social dog to help them come out of their shell.

Derek is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.

For more information on Scotty 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. Also, be sure to check out our:

Additional adoption info

The Animal Rescue League of Boston is committed to matching adoptable animals with a permanent home. Our conversation-based, application-free adoption process is designed so that the needs of both the animal and the adopter are understood and compatible with one another. We require the following as part of the adoption process:
* Adopter must be 18 years of age or older
* A current government-issued ID (no student IDs)
* Have a conversation with an ARL adoption counselor
* A photo of the cage your pet will live in, if adopting a small animal or bird

More about this shelter

Situated 10 miles southwest of Boston on the beautiful grounds of the former summer sanctuary for the city’s working horses, ARL’s newly remodeled shelter in Dedham, Massachusetts is just a glimpse into ARL’s bold future. The new modern shelter design allows us to provide even more animals with high-quality direct animal care that meets best-practice standards in animal welfare.

The 27-acre property serves as ARL’s main livestock center and is home to Pine Ridge Pet Cemetery, the oldest continuously operated pet cemetery by a humane society in the United States.
