Story

Meet Papo! Papo has been described by his previous humans as very affectionate, people make him the happiest, and like any pup- he loves a good treat! Papo loves going on a nice walk and playing outside with a variety of toys whenever he can. Papo is puppy pad trained but will also go to the bathroom outside once a good schedule is set into place for him and his new humans. Papo is a very active boy who is looking for a person/s who will give him all of exercise, attention, treats, and love he oh so desires! He would also appreciate regular grooming to help keep him feeling fresh, clean, and comfortable. Papo is waiting to be your new best friend! Papo can be a bit much for cats so would do best without any. He also loves the sound of his own voice so no close neighbors for him. Ready to Adopt?

Polo *Fee Waived* See my video!!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 8 yrs

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Polo is an 8-year-old gentle giant with a heart every bit as big as he is. This sweet boy is a total baby who wants nothing more than to be close to his people. If you’re sitting, he wants to be leaning against you. He's basically a living weighted blanket! Here at the shelter, Polo is feeling very stressed and overwhelmed, and it shows in some jumpy, excited behavior. He doesn’t always remember his manners, but with patience, routine, and kindness, he’ll absolutely blossom. Because of this, Polo is looking for an adult only home or a home with teens and up that way he and everybody else are most comfortable! He already knows sit, give paw, and lay down, and with the right guidance he can keep building on those good manners. Polo loves all toys, but rope toys are his absolute favorite! A good game of tug-o-war will make his whole day. He’s a big, strong guy and gets very excited on leash — he pulls with enthusiasm — so his adopters should be prepared for his strength and help him learn that walks can be calm and fun. His previous owner said he had dog friends, but he's been very stressed by the dogs here at the shelter and should start as an only dog. Polo is looking for adopters who can provide structure, patience, and lots of time to decompress. Polo is waiting for you! Come meet your new best friend! Ready to Adopt?

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Ginger, a bright and bouncy 21 pound 6-month-old mixed-breed pup who’s ready to start her next chapter! This sweet and super-smart girl was surrendered when her energy levels proved too much for the cats and kiddos in the home. Her previous family did an amazing job socializing and caring for her -- she is affectionate, eager to please, and always excited for whatever comes next. Ginger is playful, highly food-motivated, and already ahead of the curve. She’s been to puppy class and did wonderfully, showing off just how quick she is to learn. As with all adolescents, she’ll benefit from continued training as she grows, and she’ll make it fun with her enthusiasm and sharp mind. She’s looking for an active home that appreciates the joy of an energetic young dog. Ginger will thrive with people who can keep both her body and brain busy through exercise, enrichment, and positive training. If you’re ready for a sweet, clever companion who will reward your effort with love and laughter, Ginger might be your perfect match! Ready to Adopt?

Thyra-In Foster

Italian Greyhound Labrador Retriever

Female, 6 mos

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Story

Meet Thyra, a 6-month-old Italian Greyhound–Lab mix with a gentle heart and a big need for understanding. Before coming to us, she had never left her home, so the world is still very new and overwhelming to her. Despite that, she has shown us just how sweet, affectionate, and loving she can be with the adults she trusts. Thyra is scared of children and would be most comfortable in an adult-only home. She’s tolerant around other dogs but doesn’t really enjoy their company, so she may thrive as an only dog—or with a calm dog who won’t mind her preference for space. Her favorite thing in the world is snuggling, and once she feels safe, she’ll happily curl up with you for nap time and quiet companionship. Because she missed out on early socialization, Thyra is still learning how to navigate new environments and experiences. She’ll need patient adopters committed to helping her build confidence through gentle, positive behavior modification. With consistency, support, and a calm home, Thyra will blossom into the devoted, cuddly companion she’s meant to be. Ready to Adopt?

BRAD

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

BRAD is a nervous boy who has been settling in with his foster, decompressing, and showing himself to be an affectionate pup. OTHER PETS: Brad was unsure meeting dogs at the shelter and would likely do best as an only pet. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER Brad will do best with someone who has experience with positive reinforcement while helping a nervous dog gain confidence. Brad has some anxiety going through doors, and meeting new people, so a slow introduction to new stimuli and the world will be essential in helping him feel comfortable in a new home and environment. While he has been nervous going through doors, barriers should be used while he is still nervous so he doesn't accidentally become startled and find himself lost. [Some Experience] KIDS: Brad bonds closely with his people as he becomes more relaxed. He is very affectionate and social, but young children may be frightening to him. He would be a best fit for teens and older humans that would be able to recognize when he needs space, and when he requests interactions. [15+ / Dog Savvy (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Brad enjoys playing in the foster's fenced yard, and so far is going on short walks as he builds confidence and takes in his surroundings. He is a combination of playful and affectionate, and will benefit from regular exercise, and plenty of mental enrichment such as food puzzles and games to help meet his needs. Mental stimulation is incredibly important for all dogs, and can help worried dogs cope with the world. Because he is nervous, a leash or fence will be necessary for all outings. [Couch Potato / Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: [Average]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Brad bond with his new owner as well as help him learn new skills and tricks. Positive reinforcement, and counterconditioning will help him create happy associations with things he finds scary. Helping Brad continue to blossom will mean letting him learn about new things at his own pace without being forced. GROOMING: Occasional brushing will help keep Brad's coat clean.
