Story
Sam is a 7-year-old sweetheart who is looking for a new home. We don’t know much about his past, but what we do know is that he’s a thoughtful, sensitive guy who appreciates a calm approach and a little extra patience. Sam can be worried when meeting someone new, so he’ll do best with adopters who understand the value of taking things slow and letting him settle in at his own pace. Once he’s comfortable, he enjoys spending time in the yard, leisurely sniffing around and taking in all the interesting scents the world has to offer.He has no known history with cats or children, so any introductions would need to be careful and respectful of his comfort level. Sam could be a great match for a home with a mellow, easygoing dog who won’t overwhelm him too much. If you’re looking for a quiet companion and have the patience to help a shy but sweet dog come out of his shell, Sam may be the perfect addition to your family!

Story
Meet Pepper, a senior pup that`s here to prove that age is just a number! Pepper loves romping around in the yard and going on sniffy walks out in the world (she lived with her sister Kuva in the previous home, and they were frequent walk buddies together!) She doesn`t have a lot of practice making new dog friends, so would appreciate a lower-traffic home and slower introductions with dogs, especially while she`s settling in. Once she`s warmed up to her new human friends, Pepper is sure to shower you with love and show off her silly side!

Story
`Max`s adoption fee has been sponsored by a donor!*Max is sweet older gentleman that can be a little worried, so he`s hoping to go to a lower traffic home so that he can adjust and build confidence at his own pace. He`d love to spend his time hanging out at home with his people, rather than making a lot of new friends out in the world. Once he`s warmed up, Max loves to show off his silly side, and has quite a bit of pep in his step for a 9 year old!Max is still polishing up some of his manners, like greeting people politely, so he`d love to go home with adopters that are excited to help him continue to make progress using positive reinforcement training. Since Max has been worried around dogs, he might be able to go home with a very mellow dog companion, but he also might also like to be your one and only! Max has no history of living with cats, but could do well with slow intros and complete separation to start.

MIA

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier

Female, 7 yrs
Centerville, MA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Mia! This sensitive lady lived a pretty sheltered life before coming to us, so she’ll need a patient adopter who can help her settle in and learn how to be successful in a home at her own pace. New people and environments can be a bit scary for Mia, so she would do best in a low-traffic home and quiet neighborhood that she can explore as she grows comfortable. Mia could live with a well-matched dog that can show her the ropes, potentially cats, and older children who can practice some shy dog skills.

Story
Meet Kuva, a sweet and dainty pittie who is looking for a new home! This lovely senior pup lived with her sister Pepper in the previous home, and can be a little worried with big changes like meeting new people or dogs, so she`s love to go to a lower-traffic home. Once Kuva settles in, her personality starts to shine - she loves sniffy walks and rolling around in the leaves! Kuva loves to snuggle with the people in her inner circle, and she’s playful and silly once she’s comfortable. If you were interested in learning more about Kuva, come on down to chat with staff to see if she`s the one for you!

Story
Meet Ed, a 7 year old pomsky (Pomeranian with a Siberian Husky mix)! Ed spent his first years in a commercial breeding facility, where he was not getting the care and socialization he needed to thrive. As he`s started to explore and learn more about the world, Ed has shown us that he`s a gentle pup who can be worried in busy or new environments, but that he loves playing with toys and going on sniffy walks!Ed is looking for an adopter that can continue to help him make progress with his training and manners using positive reinforcement methods, while ensuring that he is an active participant in everything that`s happening to him (petting, play, putting on or taking off walking equipment, etc). He would do best in a low-traffic home, where there won`t be a lot of new people coming and going, and where he can set the pace of how fast or slow he is making progress. Ed is a sweet lil guy that shows his love with tail wags and silly play bows, and given the support and care he needs, he`s sure to bring a lot of joy to your home!Ed is currently being treated for heartworm, which might sound intimidating, but we promise it`s not scary! Our staff is ready to get you up to speed on his current routine. He needs to stay chill and relaxed during his treatment, and would love some toys, snacks, or other fun things to work on while he settles into his new home.
