Story

Priscilla5 Months OldSpayed FemaleMeet Priscilla! This young lady can be a little shy at first when meeting new people, but blossoms into a social butterfly after getting to know you. She could benefit from having a quieter-traffic home and a family that can work at her pace as she first settles in. As Priscilla gets more confident, she’ll be sure to show you all her favorite toys! Priscilla could do well with a confident, tolerant dog friend who can help show her the ropes, a dog-savvy cat with a slow introduction, and children!If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center.

Story

I`m currently in a foster home and not at the adoption center. Come in to talk with our staff about me and arrange a time to meet me!**My adoption fee is waived thanks to the generosity of a donor.** Chencho5 years oldAmerican Bully Have you ever dreamt of having your very own house hippo? Well dream no further! Chencho is the chunkiest house hippo on the block and is ready to dazzle you with his ample good looks and charm. This large couch potato would make a great companion in a variety of households as long as there are plenty of scritches available for him! He is not a fan of sharing his favorite things, so he would do best in a home without young children. He might be able to live with another dog with plenty of management. Chencho seems to have some allergies so it will be important to have a close relationship with a veterinarian to keep him feeling his best. Regardless, he promises to wiggle his way into your heart in no time! If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.

Story

MY ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED OCTOBER 15 - 20 AS PART OF THE MUTT-STER MASH ADOPTION SMASH EVENT !!! Brock10 years oldPitbull123 lbs Brock is a gentle giant who is ready to find a nice retirement home! This old man loves to go for very slow walks around the block and snooze the day away on a nice comfy bed, perhaps chewing a toy here and there. Brock has medical needs that will require ongoing care, so a close relationship with a veterinarian is important. In his older age, stairs have become quite the challenge for Brock so he is looking for a home without them (or just a few where a ramp could easily be set up). If you`d like to see if Brock is a good match for your family, come in during open hours to learn more! If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Capri Sun is a older lady who is looking for a special home. She is one of the dogs from the large surrender we took of under-socialized boxers. Due to her abnormal history she is a very nervous lady who is slow to warm up to people and new situations. Capri Sun will need a family committed to helping her settle in at her own pace and learn normal dog behaviors. She would likely do best in a home without another dog or young kids. If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.
