Story
Romeo is a cute little who is looking for a special home. He came to us with some medical needs including itchy skin and chronic dry eye. Romeo has been on medication for his skin and has been feeling better, but he is not a fan of getting his ointment and is not afraid to tell you to back off. Romeo is small but mighty and his family will need to work with our behavior team to help him feel more comfortable receving his eye meds so that he can live a happier and healthier life. Romeo takes a little time to warm up, but he would make a good supervisor for someone working from home and enjoys getting pet by his favorite people. Romeo enjoys going for walks and has made lots of dog friends since he`s been with us so we think he could live with a low key dog friend. Romeo is looking for a family who has patience and can develop a good relationship with a Fear Free vet!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.

Story
It`s a bird, it`s a plane... It`s Gumby! This little dude`s name was coined because of his unique body conformation... in other words, this guy`s back legs are a little wonky! He gets around okay, but doesn`t stray too far! Gumby`s had a challenging life prior to his time at the shelter, so he`s coming out of his shell in his own time. In the right setting, Gumby can be silly and sweet. He`s looking for a patient adopter to let him get comfortable without putting too much pressure on him. It will be important for Gumby`s adopter to make necessary changes in the enviornment to support his physical limitations(like covering slippery surfaces!). Gumby`s hoping for a very special someone that can give him lots of patience and understanding. 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.

Story
Meet Callie, a laid-back sweetheart with a heart full of love! Rescued from a shelter where she was brought in as a stray, Callie is estimated to be around 10 years old. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and on preventative care, and she recently had a dental cleaning. Although Callie is completely blind, she navigates her surroundings with amazing confidence, easily getting around her foster home and keeping up with her furry siblings. She’s very food motivated, so her foster mom feeds her separately to keep her from snacking on everyone else’s meals. Given the chance, Callie will definitely explore the trash, so keeping things out of reach is a must! Callie is mostly housebroken if taken out frequently and is fantastic about standing still for her harness. She walks beautifully on a leash, and while she will use pee pads indoors, she may occasionally “mark,” which we hope will improve now that she’s been spayed. Don’t let her age fool you—this sweet girl has a playful spirit and absolutely loves her squeaky toys! Currently located in Wheelersburg, Ohio, Callie is ready to find her forever home. If you’d like to welcome this sweet girl into your home, please apply today!
