Story
Adopted her from the rescue in Brewster last year April. She is about to make 2 years in November. I think she would thrive in a family where numerous people can contribute to taking care of her and giving her attention. She is such a lover and loves to gives kisses. She is super energetic so also with someone that likes to run or if you have access to a field even better. She can also be a lazy bug at times during the day, but will have lots of energy at night. She just needs love and affection.

Story
Oso is the sweetest dog I have ever come across. I got him from a shelter when he was 11 months old. His history is mostly unknown but he was not treated well as a puppy. When we adopted him we were told to open him up to the world slowly (which we did). He is still an anxious pup but for the most part, he is super chill. He loves to cuddle and will let you rub his stomach for hours on end. He just wants to be close, he would rather follow behind you all day than play with his toys. Oso needs a lot of love. He does have a few minor medical issues that need to be addressed (nothing long-term). He is house trained and should go out at least every 2-4 hours. He is very nice to other dogs. He loves to eat and will do anything for a treat. His one con is that he barks at other dogs on the TV. Overall, he is the absoluthe best. He needs someone who will spend a lot of time with him and love him like family. He should go to the vet for any issues, don’t try to handle them at home.

Story
Prince is a very sweet boy with some allergies. I've had him about 8 years but recently he's been struggling a bit more. I work out of the house and he's not house trained. He either has to wear a diaper or be crated during the day. This was ok when we had a dog walker but then he attempted to nip her and now they won't come back. He's nervous and sometimes grumpy, like a typical chihuahua. Someone with experience with that breed preferred. No kids please. He's perfect for someone patient, home most of the time, and willing to provide walkies and soft blankets for snuggles. I'm hoping for an "open adoption" where I can get pics and updates periodically. He does have some allergies and does best on a prescription diet and sometimes needs meds to keep him from itching himself to death.

Story
Hi! I'm Tootie, a 1.5-year-old female hound mix. I'm about 43 pounds and am up to date on all my vaccinations. I am playful and affectionate. I love giving kisses to everyone I meet! I'm great with dogs and love going to the dog park and daycare. I'd love to have another dog to play with me in my new house, but would be fine alone as long as you're around to play with me. My previous family loved me very much, but unfortunately I didn't get along well with their kitten. As a hound, I'm very prey-driven and like to chase cats and small animals. They're heartbroken to see me go but know I deserve a home where I can be my happy-go-lucky self! I hope it won't be long before I find my forever family. I'm available through Kitty Connection in Medford.

Story
My name is Kronos and I am a 2 1/2 year-old black nose/mountain Curr male. I’m a very friendly and happy-go-lucky guy when I’m comfortable in my surroundings. I have a great time playing with other dogs in the doggie park. I am a lovable and affectionate dog to my people and protective of them as well. I love their love and affection, I love going out on walks and being involved in outside activities. I’m a little overweight, so I need to get a lot more outside activity into my schedule. My dad just doesn’t have the time anymore to give me the activity and time that I need. I love to go on car rides because I am timid, meeting new people I am best with a dog experienced individual. I am available through Kitty Connection in Medford.
