Story
Marley is a 7 year old hound mix rescue. She has been with us since she was a young puppy and we love her dearly. We are only looking to rehome her because she has had a hard time adjusting to life with our toddler and we feel she would be happiest in a home without children. Marley is a loving, wonderful girl with a lot to offer the right person. She loves to be active and spend time outdoors; she'd walk or hike all day. She's intelligent and loves to work; she is food-motivated and wants to learn any skills you can teach her. She loves being around her people, but can also happily spend time alone in her crate when you need to go out. Although she needs to be the only pet in your home, she can get along with other dogs under the right conditions, so doggy playdates aren't totally out of the question. Marley's ideal home would be a moderately active, adult-only home without a lot of new visitors, in a quiet area with a safe yard space for her to spend time in, and as an only pet.

Story
Ivan came to us five years ago as a rescue from Moscow Russia and has been an absolute joy to have in our family. He is obedient, docile, and the kindest sweetest soul. He is good with kids of all ages, he’s good with other animals of all kind. He has never had an accident in the house and will even say “I love you” for a treat. He is truly the best dog. It’s breaking our hearts to do this, but we lost our home to a fire and cannot care for him the way he needs. We hope to find a great family for him who will love him as much as we do.

Hazel

Husky German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
Essex, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Hazel is a 2 year old beautiful, affectionate dog who loves her people, is smart, professionally trained, food motivated, and enjoys the outdoors. She comes when called, does her tricks, does well on+off leash, loves attention from all people, and has excellent house manners. She has been a loyal and quiet work from home companion. She would just as happily sleep in and sit under the desk of her person as go on a long hike or run. She lives with a cat who she is friendly with. Due to her early life before adoption, Hazel is protective of high value toys and food and guards against other dogs, which can be negated by removing said item. Hazel’s response to new dogs when not under leash or voice command can be unpredictable. Unfortunately, Hazel’s prey drive and inexperience with babies has led us to look into rehoming. She would do best in a home with no babies/toddlers. She would love to have outdoor access and an active owner with patience/comfort with her response to new dogs.
