Story
Turbo is a 7lb male Havapoo. He enjoys people’s company and will happily sit on your lap or near by you. He is blind in one eye and will sometimes need help navigating (stairs can be tricky). He is mostly calm natured and cautious but enjoys playing with his toys and getting belly rubs. He knows many commands such as come, sit, wait, off and up. Unfortunately Turbo does not get along well with young children and are looking to find him a good new home without young children. He has never bitten anyone but does growl and show teeth when children are near him. Turbo would do well with older adults as he is pretty relaxed and enjoys lounging.

Story
Oscar is a 5 year old Wheaten terrier. I have had him since he was 8 weeks old. He has always been a bit nervous but he is very loving and good in the home. He is reactive and aggressive with other dogs. He can also be reactive to some people, though typically he loves people who are good with dogs. He is sweet and cuddly and a wonderful companion. He needs to be in a home with no other pets. He also is not good spending large amounts of time alone. He would do well with someone who lives a quiet life and is home a lot.

Mutt

Somerville, MA
Size

Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Peggy is a 9 year old basset hound mix. She has a great personality and loves humans. She is a little iffy with other dogs especially dogs bigger than her. She is missing a hind leg but that does nothing to hinder her. Although she is about to turn 9 she has puppy energy and loves to play and run around. She is house trained and is extremely food motivated. She has had no health issues thus far. She is spayed and microchipped. I think she would do well in a home with mostly adults, she has not had experiences with babies or cats.

Story
Affectionate and playful with my family and always up for a new adventure or challenge, I’ll bring lots of energy and joy to my new home. I was adopted in April 2022, when I was 5 months old, as a little brother for my mom’s first pup, but she’s found the demands of raising 2 young working/sporting males in the city to be more than she can manage given all her other commitments. I’m house trained, leash trained (tho I get excited when I see a rabbit or squirrel), neutered, fully vaxed, and I travel well in the car. I’ve got great recall, respond to all the basic commands, learn quickly, luv 2 please. Seeking an active, dog-savvy family who love shepherds and are mostly home/available to walk/hike, cuddle, play. Big enclosed yard and other dog/s bonus.
