Story
Loki is a very energetic, very smart, very attached 1 year old purebred German Shepherd puppy. Unfortunately, Loki doesn't get along with our other dog and it is causing a stressful living environment for both dogs. He would thrive in an only dog household and with someone who is experienced with working breeds. He loves going for walks, playing fetch, and especially loves using his nose to find hidden treats. He did do a 3-week bootcamp so he is fairly good on commands/recall but would benefit from continued training. And even though he is a high energy dog, when it's time to settle down there's nothing better than him resting his head on your arm at peace.

Story
We love Sophie! She is @ 13 years old and is a loving snuggler. She is a loyal companion. She is getting on in age and is starting to lose her hearing. She is house trained and a good girl who loves to roll in the grass and hang out with our cat. Unfortunately her owner is also getting on in age and moving to a new home where she will not be able to support Sophie. We want to find a loving home for her with someone who will car for her and enjoy her company. Ideally someone who is retired or home all day which is what she is used to.

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. 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 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
This sweet and sensitive girl`s name is Nala. While Nala would like to live up to her namesake being the queen of the jungle, she is still just a lion cub! In reality, our girl Nala is a bit worried when it comes to trying new things. Nala`s dream is to have a family that can help her slowly expand her comfort zone with lots of patience. Nala will need an adopter to help her navigate her challenges on her own time. When Nala is comfortable, she becomes the squishest and snuggliest pup in the pack! Due to Nala`s needs, she`s looking to be the only dog in a low traffic home(she`s not ready to live with dogs, kids or cats right now!) so she can be the main focus! 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. Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog that’s a good match!

Millie

Cockapoo

Female, Young
Jamaica Plain, MA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
She has moderate isolation anxiety. Not destructive, but whimpers & paws at the door when left alone. She needs desensitized training & not left alone until she’s able to handle it. She’s the sweetest and most loving puppy, but is a bit reactive/fearful of dogs on leash. She’s smart, heels walking, good recall, potty trained with a bell, loves playing fetch, swimming and loves snuggling. Such a great personality but is a bit fearful. She needs a family of 2 or more that work from home/retired, will continue her anxiety meds (they’ve helped a lot), as well as her training & will hire sitters when you’re out. This is the only way she’ll get better and be able to be alone. MUST meet all that criteria. Please don’t apply if you don’t. I won’t accept it. I’m only allowed 20 applications. I love her so much. I am sad, but I can’t afford her anymore. I can transfer her health insurance as well. I paid $4k for her less than a year ago. She’s a 12lb mini Australian Cobberdog. 13 months
