Story
Charley will be four years old March 2025 - she has been an amazing pup, we are only rehoming her because we believe she wants more than what we can give and we want that for her. even though she has someone home with her nearly all day everyday (stay at home mom) and gets freedom (off leash) roaming at home whenever she pleases, she was only truly happy when we could take her for long hikes nearly daily. Our last home had a trail system connecting to our backyard - and we went on long walks almost every day. Our life has changed though - we have a third baby and toddler and husband has a new job with more hours. Without these walks she has been “depressed”. We are going on a year of this and it’s not getting better. We are looking for her to find someone who is an avid hiker/ walker and has the time and freedom to give her the life she deserves. We will only consider this type of applicant. She is off leash trained, house trained & amazing with all dogs and kids. She is a love bug.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Reyito is a neutered male. He is 8 months old and weights 13 pounds (in Nov 2024). He is UTD on everything.  He will be with a wonderful foster in the Boston area.  Stand by for more details. Nov 20 Update: Reyito has had quite the week! This poor boy's mama has cancer and can no longer care for him, so she took him to the shelter. The shelter isn’t a great place for any dog, let alone a 13 pounder!! So we scooped him up and he went to volunteer extraordinaire Gladys’ home to wait for his flight. In stepped two amazing flight angels, Marina and Juan, thank you Jada. He’s now in Boston looking for his forever home. This little guy is about 8 months old, 13 pounds, crate trained, doing well on being house broken, rides well in the car, gets along with dogs and is a bit scared of cats. He walks well on leash too! He needs a comfy home where he can soak up all the love you have to give him. Is this the one you’ve been looking for? Oh yeah, he is the biggest snuggle bug around.
