Story
Obie was originally adopted by my grandmother during Covid and she is no longer able to take care of him. He is a very sweet and loving dog who loves being outside. He’s loves snuggles and is always ready to play. Obie is timid and very fearful around construction and new animals, but is able to get through with help. He is a bit too excited during his play for cats, but would probably love another dog to play with

Meet Bonnie Pea Pod! Bonnie is a 2 year old terrier pointer mix that weighs about 24lbs. She was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas. She gets along well with other dogs but does best with slow intros so she doesn’t get scared. Bonnie loves her people and gets attached quickly.

If you you have a quiet home and the patience for a shy lady, please stop in to meet Lacy!My friends describe me as: Gentle, Shy, IndependentLacy is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.For more information on Lacy or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170.
