Hype

Story

Hype is such a sweet, loving baby boy. He is 7 months old. He brightens everyone’s day, insisting on saying hello to everyone he comes across. I have never seen the slightest hint of aggression. He is AMAZING with my 3 yr. old. He goes most days with no accidents in the house. Although I did know puppies were a lot of work, I am realizing just how much responsibility a puppy is; and with a 3 yr. old as a single mom, it was more than I am capable of handling. With that being said, There is no reason I am rehoming him other than my own reasons - nothing to do with him. It tears me apart that I cannot keep him. In a new home he would need lots of love/attention. Probably at least one child. Lots of running space.

Santini is happy to fit into her humans' routine and picks up quickly on new commands. She is very accommodating, walks well on a leash, and corrects/redirects easily. Santini loves to play, but is also happy to hang out with her people around the house.Santini would do best as the only dog in the house with an experienced dog owner who can maintain consistent boundaries and expectations to help her succeed and feel reassured. She is an athletic gal who loves to chase after balls and show off her signature ‘hopping prance’. She would love to have a fenced in yard or a local fenced in area so she can show off her moves! When she has finally expended all of her energy you can find her searching for the best sunbathing spot to take a snooze in. Santini is a sweet, gentle soul who wants nothing more than to be loved and make you laugh with her goofy antics.Please Note: All dogs are posted until they are officially adopted.

Dusty

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Puppy

Chestnut Hill, MA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We rescued Dusty at 3 months old and fell in love. He was sent to board-and-train for three weeks for some basic puppy training. We've had him for two years now and unfortunately his resource guarding has become an issue with our other dog. We have two small kids that he loves but he's a 65 lb dog and doesn't always know his own strength. He's loving, fun and the best cuddler in the house, it breaks out hearts but it's a stressful fit for the family these days. Likely the best fit is one with older or no kids, and no other pets in the house.

Nala

American Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Revere, MA

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Nala is a very sweet dog! We rescued her from a shelter 1.5 years ago. She loves long walks and playing with any soft squeaky toy she can find. Nala loves mealtime but displays food aggression when other animals are present. For this reason Nala will need to be placed in a home where there are no other pets. She will need someone who is experienced with dogs who have a past history of fear induced aggression. She does have anxiety and is very wary of men. A female owner or a couple who will show her the patience that she needs is preferable. We avoid dog parks because she does not do well with smaller breeds. She is OK with some other bigger breeds but always use caution. Nala will thrive in an environment where there are no children and no other pets in the house. Nala would benefit greatly with someone to work on her training, also!
