Story
Meet Ozzy, the lovable 3-year-old pup who`s ready to cast a spell on your heart! With his big, soulful eyes and boundless energy, this sweet and affectionate dog is looking for a forever home where he can be your loyal companion. In true typical shepherd fashion, Ozzy likes to make sure he`s heard. Though he can be a bit anxious when first transitioning to a new home, just like Elphaba finding her place in the world, once he settles in, Ozzy will be your most devoted friend. If you`re looking for a dog who`ll be both mischievous and loving, Ozzy`s ready to be your `Good News` in this magical journey of companionship. Ozzy may enjoy having a dog friend to hangout with, but would prefer an adult only household. 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! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new dog or puppy the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources. For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/ Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they’re interested in - and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.

Story
My husband and I adopted linor, a ~7 week old German / chow chow/pitt/cattle dog 5 years ago. What we were told is that she and her sister were found on side of road. From puppyhood, Elinor has been very anxious. She has had multiple rounds of training & is e collar trained. She is afraid of new people and reactive to dogs. She gets nervous if it’s cold outside and will refuse to go out. She gets shaking panic attacks over very small things. She spends a lot of time hiding in closets. She is a sweetheart with all people she knows. She nipped someone when she was a puppy, has not bitten since. However, we know how to manager her and she gets no opportunities to bite. She doesn’t meet strangers or new dogs without muzzle. Once she gets used to a person we take muzzle off. We’ve learned a lot about how to care for her and she has a loving home that is safe for her and for us/our guests. She is becoming harder however for us to care for well with two kids. We love her.

Story
Meet Daphne! - Shepherd Mix - Female - 2 years young - 41lbs - Spayed - Up to date on all vaccinations Daphne was rescued from a high kill shelter where she was next in line to be euthanized. When we saw a picture of how terrified and scared she was we knew we couldn’t let anything bad happen to her again. Daphne is very nervous and scared and we are assuming she was abused in her past as she cowers low when people walk by quick. She is really starting to open up in her foster home and getting more and more comfortable each day. Daphne needs and adopter who will be patient with her and show her that she is worthy of your love. She’s so unsure on who to trust but we can see that she wants to trust so bad. She gets along well with other dogs and sleeps through the night in the crate. Do you have enough love and patience in your heart to give Daphne the best life possible? If so, she’s desperately waiting for you! To apply to adopt this beautiful girl, please fill out an adoption application located on our website. www.aplaceforace.org

Story
Before calling about this dog, please read our adoption requirements at http://gsrne.org/requirements-for-adopting-from-gsrne Meet Jake… This handsome two-year-old is a smart boy with lots of good traits.  Jake loved the children in the home that he was raised in.  We were told that Jake played nicely with some of the family members' dogs, including a husky and a golden retriever. He is a friendly big boy that easily gets excited and will try to jump up at you when first greeting you. Due to a change in work schedules at the home, Jake was not getting the attention and training he needed. Jake has had some obedience training and seems eager to please. He takes his treats gently, and he's crate-trained. He always wants to carry his Kong toy in his mouth when he’s out and about, and did I mention how smart he is? ♥ Coming from working dog lines, Jake has lots of energy and drive, and would do best with an active family familiar with the breed.  In the right home with a family that enjoys training, will give Jake clear direction,  and continue socializing him, we know that Jake will shine.

Story
https://gsrne.org/our-available-dogs/ Meet Dutchess! If you are looking for a sweet and friendly dog who loves being with her people, then three-year-old Dutchess is the dog for you. She loves her walks, going for car rides and playing with her toys. We’ve had her around some other dogs, and she seems to be good with them and acted like she wanted to play. Dutchess’ owners probably should never have gotten a dog. They never gave her much training or exercise and her skin and fur were obviously neglected. They had no idea how to care for any dog, let alone a young German Shepherd, and told us they were going to have her euthanized. We knew we had to help her! The good news is, now that she has been getting proper medical care and good quality food, her fur looks great. She does need her obedience training worked on and due to lack of socialization and exposure in her original home she can be a little unsure at times. We would like to find her a family/home that will take her on lots of adventures to gradually build up her confidence. Dutchess is a special girl. We can promise you if you meet her you will fall in love with her.

Story
https://gsrne.org/our-available-dogs/ Bonnie is a sweet 3-year-old female dog who is looking for her forever home. Her basic obedience is very strong and would do best with someone who wants to continue her training. She loves nature, walks on the long-line, playing fetch with the ball and other toys, playing with other dogs in daycare, and learning new tricks. She is well-behaved in the car, on public outings and loves being included in her owner’s day-to-day life. Bonnie would do well with another dog or cat in the house with the proper introduction. This cuddle bug can’t wait to meet her forever person!
