Story
Meet me, Amalia! I am a happy pup who loves cuddle sessions and some play time. My absolute favorite spot to nap is on the couch. I enjoy other dogs, great on rides and pretty good on leash too! My foster mom takes me on lots of adventures to the lake house and to meet humans big and small. Sometimes I am a little shy but doesn't last too long. I am crate trained but would prefer to be in the room with humans at bedtime. If you are interested in me or would like to learn more about me, please complete the app below. https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NAF/Dog I am located in San Antonio, TX, but a video meet and greet is available. Transport is included with out of state adoption along with health certificates for transport. I will be fully vetted to age, spayed/neutered and microchipped.

Story
***BISCUIT IS LOCATED IN FOSTER CARE IN SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE*** From the foster: Hi I’m Biscuit! Im the cutest little guy and do not shed! I give the BEST kisses. With a little patience you will earn my trust and see how cool of a guy I really am! I’m pretty funny, too! I like to “talk” while I eat my meals. (I have a lot to say!!) I’m learning to play with toys but love to play with my foster siblings! (The cats are my favorite!!) I love a good snuggle and will curl right up next to you! I do well going potty outside as long as I’m brought out in time. Im learning to walk on a leash but it’s still all so new to me! I sleep through the night and don’t have accidents overnight. I’m a one-of-a-kind boy and would be so happy to be loved by you! Biscuit will stay on the smaller side (we estimate 25-35 lbs when full grown) General Information: Our B litter is ready for adoption! This sweet litter of pups are about 9-10 weeks, born around mid-November 2024. These puppies are some of the lucky ones – a good Samaritan saw a mangy, starving dog eating scrap someone threw out in a back corner of a Mexican restaurant by a dumpster. She couldn’t turn away. The good Samaritan was going to just help mom, when she realized mom looks to have just had puppies. It’s like the momma dog knew someone was there to help, and she turned away from the scrap food and started walking down the street. The good Samaritan followed this momma dog for almost 2 miles to a home, where when they walked up, 7 puppies came running out from under the house (see video!) The homeowner didn’t claim mom or puppies, nor did she want anything to do with them. She refused to feed them or offer them shelter. It took some time, but after a few days, we were able to get all 7 pups and mom to safety. Mom is about 32 lbs and has a wire-hair coat, we have named her Lainey and she will also be available for adoption soon. We do not know who dad is. We believe pups will vary in size with the 2 runts (Baby ad Belle) staying smaller than the others – but generally we believe they will stay around 40 lbs. Please keep in mind that these puppies had minimal human interaction until a few weeks ago, but they are now in their prime age for impression, training and growing in a home to learn from. They all would do wonderfully with well-behaved children, other dogs and cats. They did not chase stray cats at the home they were at and they LOVE other dogs. Here’s a breakdown of the litter and some information on each one: All weights are as of 1/19/25 Baby – Male Runt – 7.5 lbs – Black and white (tri color) – Semi wirehair and very short hair – does not seem to shed much, if at all – Very playful. Very outgoing. Fun to watch play as he is so much tinier than the other pups. Daring. First pup to try anything. Aims to please. Wants to be next to you and get lots of love and love you. All homes would be ideal, all ages of children would be great for Baby. Belle – Female Runt – 4.4 lbs – Black and White – Wirehair – Does not seem to shed – She is quite timid but friendly and does come around. Will make the best baby. She defends herself against all the other bigger pups. Fierce and won’t let anyone pick on her. Is learning to play with toys. Could be a lap dog with lots of patience. Minimal-mild active home that is patient. Beau – Male – 10.2 lbs – Brown and White – Wirehair – Does not seem to shed – Needs someone with some patience. He is a bit timid and would rather watch everyone else play before joining. He would do best with another dog in the home. Beau is learning to trust people and his surroundings. Minimal-Mild Active home that is patient. Bree – Female – 11.4 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – She is a hoot to have around. She loves to talk to you and is very vocal. She doesn’t mind telling you how she feels. She’s more of a leader and she keeps all the other puppies in check and in their place. If any of them start bickering, Bree will be there to break it up. She’s not afraid to test the waters and try anything new. A bit shorter of legs and stocky build. A more active home is preferred. Biscuit – Male – 11.1 lbs – Brown and White – Wire Hair – Does not seem to shed – This lover boy is the most timid of the group of pups. The foster left him with his mom so she can help build his confidence and not be bullied by his siblings. He is very submissive. Needs a family or person that is patient, kind and understands he does need socialization and lots of love. Ideally no young children given how timid he is. Bear – Male – 11.3 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – One of the most outgoing pups of the litter! He is one of the few that came around super quickly and is super lovable, huggable and amazing all around. He LOVES to be held in your arms and rocked like a baby or just carried around. He would rather be with you than anywhere else. His next favorite thing is belly rubs. He will roll over in a heartbeat to get some belly rubs and stay there until you can’t anymore. He is a very relaxed pup and doesn’t run around too much. Chill. Mildly active home and all age children would be perfect. All of these puppies will make wonderful and loyal companions. Please watch the video to see mom when she was first found, to when the good Samaritan found the house, to the puppies safe and sound and enjoying their first toys. Biscuit is neutered, current on age appropriate vaccinations, preventions, dewormer, microchipped and has received a clean bill of health from a veterinarian.

We do not know who dad is. We believe pups will vary in size with the 2 runts (Baby and Belle) staying smaller than the others, under 30 lbs. The bigger pups around 40 lbs. MOST OF THESE BABIES ARE LONG IN BODY SO WE DO BELIEVE THERE IS SOME BASSETT/DACHSHUND MIX. We do also believe they have different dads given their massive coat and weight differences. Please keep in mind that these puppies had minimal human interaction until a few weeks ago, but they are now in their prime age for impression, training and growing in a home to learn from. They all would do wonderfully with well-behaved children, other dogs and cats. They did not chase stray cats at the home they were at and they LOVE other dogs.

Story
Hi everyone, my name is Cookie! I came to Berkshire Humane Society when my owner had too many animals in the home. That said, I`m a well-adjusted little guy and boy, do I have a lot of spunk and sparkle! Not to brag, but kennel staff tell me all the time what a smart little cookie I am and how quickly I pick up on training. I`m incredibly food motivated and love to learn. I am working on my house training here at the shelter, but I was mostly house trained in my previous home, so staff are confident that with someone to provide structure and consistency in my daily life, I`ll pick it up and be fully house trained in no time. Staff noticed that I have a bit of a head wobble and sometimes a little instability in my gait. The veterinarian checked me out and believes that I may have a genetic neurological issue, but outside of monitoring, no medical intervention is necessary. Regardless, I never let anything slow me down! I would do best living in a home environment without shared walls since I can be a vocal boy. For more information about me or how to begin the adoption process, please contact kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126.Dogs: Requires dog introductionCats: NoKids: 13+Weight: 21.5
