DENIRO

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 1 yr 4 mos

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Deniro! He`s happy, bouncy, and super wiggly. Deniro loves to play and is full of energy, so he`d make a great companion for a hiker, runner, or just an admirer of the great outdoors. We think Deniro would be most happy in a quieter setting - he seems to be a little worried by the traffic here at the shelter. He could live with a well-matched dog friend with thoughtful introductions, but would be just as happy as your one and only. While Deniro has his playful side, he also gets SUPER snuggly once he`s gotten his activity needs met! Kids in the home should be able to participate in training and unfazed by a bouncy pup and their goofy antics. If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by MSPCA Northeast Animal Shelter. We have open adoption hours 11:30am-5pm daily - no appointment or application needed.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 are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat areas will remain open to walk through.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Crystal, a sensitive soul who blossoms into a sweet and silly girl once she feels comfortable. Crystal loves to play with toys and can become very excited during play, so she is looking for an adopter who will help her learn her manners and work on settling down for some quiet time between play sessions. She can be nervous in new situations and will thrive with patient adopters who observe her body language and adjust their training pace to keep her feeling safe and capable of facing new challenges. She is very smart and curious, which should come in handy during training!Crystal has made many human and dog friends during her time in the shelter, and would do well alone or with another dog in the home. Kids should be comfortable with a strong dog prone to jumping and mouthing, and should be able to participate in training to provide her with some consistency and help her learn what is expected of her. If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by MSPCA at Northeast Animal Shelter.

Nala

American Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Revere, MA

Size

(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 girl! She loves long walks, treats, and playing with any soft squeaky toy she can find. She also enjoys cuddles and snoozing on the couch with her human friends! 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 has experience with dogs who have a past history of fear induced aggression (or willing to be patient with her!). 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!

Storm

American Pit Bull Terrier Redbone Coonhound

Male, Puppy

Reading, MA

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This is Storm. I adopted him from a shelter when he was 5 months old and he just turned 1. He is a super affectionate dog who loves to cuddle up and snore. He is also really playful and is coming into his teenage crazy. He is content most days to lay around and chew his bone and he is always up for play time with our other dog. Storm is house trained and he goes into his crate at night sometimes as early as 6 and sleeps until 7 or later. His living situation right now is quite limited and he isn't allowed in most areas of the house and there always needs to be supervision when with our other dog. While I wouldn't say that he needs to be in a one dog household, I do think that he may thrive better if he has more acsess to the house and isn't always worrying about another dog. He is still working on training (so keeping up with it would be good) but he is a very smart dog who has a lot of potential!

She has been fostered in homes with other dogs and has done well. Elsa is good with cats, though she does want to play with them, and would do well with dog-savvy kids. She loves everyone she meets, but sometimes she is a little wrecking ball (of love) so she may knock a small child over accidentally.

Elsa sleeps through the night in her crate (and even snores in a demure manner). Elsa is fully house trained (and will delay her morning bathroom break as long as possible so she can hit snooze a few extra times). Elsa is progressing well with her leash training and is a quick learner on tools that help her to not pull.Elsa enjoys life, is outgoing, and just wants to be everyone’s friend.
