Story

I adopted Cali in Long Beach, CA, in November of 2015. Her DOB is June 2015. We moved from CA to MA in April 2025. She is 9.5 yrs old. She gets along well with other dogs. She currently lives and crates with, a 1.5 yr old female chihuahua-mix dog, Tiny (also up for adoption). At one point we had a rabbit; she loved to chase the rabbit around. She loves walks, knows the word, and she walks well on leash. Squirrels are an attention getter for her during walks. Very gentle and quite. She loves brussel sprouts and radishes for a treat. She has a benign tumor pretty much running the length of her left side but it does not bother her at all; vet acknowledged. It's not really visible due to her think, heavy coat. Cali (and Tiny too) is looking for a new home where she will get plenty of attention and cuddles.

Story

Hello! This is Tank. Tank was born in May of 2024. He is fully updated on his shot, and comes with a full bag of toys, a kennel, bowls, and food. Tank is a timid dog who loves to play fetch, run, jump, and cuddle. We recently moved to a walk up apartment and he is struggling with not getting scared in the stair ways when going outside. He hardly ever makes sound, unless it's at late at night and someone comes to the door. Tank has a feline brother and has never had issues with other dogs at the dog park, or visiting friends. He would do best in a home with a yard where he doesn't have to travel in a tight stairwell. Tank does do well with strangers but prefers women over men. He tends to cower when approached by large men and has never bit. He may take a bit to warm up but over all he is a great dog.

Story

I adopted Tiny in San Pedro, CA, in June, 2024. We moved from CA to MA in April 2025. She is 1.5 yrs old. She gets along well with other dogs. She currently lives and crates with, a 9.5 yr old female poodle-terrier mix, Cali (also up for adoption). At one point we had a rabbit; she loved to chase the rabbit around. She loves walks, knows the word, and she walks well on leash; a little excited to getting into the harness. She is very shy and will either avoid people encountered on walk and/or totally stop and watch them from a distance. Very gentle, she loves cuddles. She loves brussel sprouts and radishes for a treat. She has been in heat May-June each year I've had her. Tiny (and Cali too) is looking for a new home where she will get plenty of attention and cuddles.

Odin

Boxer

Male, Adult

Lunenburg, MA

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Odin is a 7 year old purebred boxer from a local breeder. We are looking for a home with no other dogs/cats - Odin does not get along with other dogs. Odin gets very excited when meeting new people, as most boxers do! But when he gets to know you he is very loving and cuddly! We have a toddler that he is very good with, but we do keep separated sometimes just because toddlers are very unpredictable and we don’t want Odin feeling uncomfortable. Odin would do very well in a house with older children. Odin also loves to play fetch with his balls and of course loves to go for walks! Odin is taking daily anxiety medication (Fluoxetine) which helps tremendously with his jumpiness. Odin has also been to formal training and does well with basic commands and on a leash

Sadie Mae

Mutt

Female, Adult

Lunenburg, MA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sadie Mae was a rescue five years ago. Our life circumstances and situation has changed, and it has been difficult for her. She no longer gets along with our other two dogs, and everyone’s quality of life has diminished as a result. Sadie is 5 years old. She is a mixed breed pup, but mostly Chihuahua and Australian Cattle Dog. She is spayed and up to date on all vaccines. Sadie has some allergies, which require a daily medication and a very minor special preparation of her food (her kibbles need to be kept on the freezer). She has additional as-needed skin sprays as well for flare ups. We would love for Sadie to be adopted by someone who owns their home, either a single woman or a family. No apartments and no single men - she’s very vocal and doesn’t warm up to men quickly. Sadie is overall good with kids, but can get overwhelmed easily. Sadie thinks she’s the size of standard Chihuahua. She’ll sit on your lap and lick you to death! She’ll want to sleep in your bed to be close.
