Story
Meet Gisele – 7‑year‑old spayed pit/lab mix in Taunton, MA. Gisele weighs 50 lbs, is up to date on her rabies and distemper vaccinations and receives regular preventatives. Gisele’s previous family can no longer care for her, so she is looking for her forever home! Gisele is great with people. She’s spent time with a six‑year‑old child and older teenagers and was gentle and affectionate with both. She’s received tons of guests at her foster home and she loved everyone. She may bark to let you know someone is at the door, but she settles quickly and welcomes new friends. She enjoys leashed walks or playing in the yard, yet she’s just as happy napping on the couch. She's calm, house‑trained and crate‑trained (though the crate isn’t her favorite), and she can be trusted to free roam. She's dog selective and not good with cats so would do best as the only pet. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who’s happy to chill and hang out, Gisele may be the perfect match!

Story
He was rescued at 1 year old from a nonviolent elderly gentleman unable to care for him. He’s currently 5 years old and still has springs in his feet. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and he’s a love bug at heart who is willing to be a lap dog if allowed. Loves food, loves car rides, hiking, boat rides, and running on the beach. He can swim but gets nervous in the water. He isn’t aggressive with other dogs, but sometimes gets overly excited and he doesn’t know when to stop playing. He has successfully cohabitated with cats. Needs daily walks/exercise to manage energy. Does extremely well with a remote collar. He will kiss all of your guests to death if allowed. Perfect for a home with school age or older children or an active retiree. Needs consistent activity and love. He is chipped and has never missed a vet appointment or shot.

Story
Looking for a loving and responsible forever home for my Loki. He is a very affectionate dog, despite his size he loves to sit on laps as if he were a small chihuahua. Loki has a lot of energy, he likes to run, play with his toys, go for walks, follow you everywhere, responds to commands, loves to take naps during the day and sleeps all night. He needs a lot of attention, a house with plenty of space and a fenced yard. We rescued him from Pennsylvania when he was 6 months old, not sure about contact with childrens but he used to live with another dogs before. Due to personal circumstances, my husband and I are unable to give him the attention and space he needs, so with broken hearts we decided to find a family that will provide him a better life.

Story
Are you in the market for a perfect petite pittie princess?You are now.Meet Floria!Floria is 42lbs of sunshine. She's got the most smoochable snoot, the most emotive ears, and the silliest smile in all the land. She feels like warm velvet. Her kisses are top tier. Basically she's perfect.We ARE still trying to teach her how to walk on a leash like a lady and not a loose cannon, though. Right now, her favorite hobby is getting under your feet, getting herself stepped on, and then shouting at you for stepping on her like she didn't purposely put herself there because she has to be as close to you as physically possible. She DOES listen to corrections but you have to be on top of it or she'll choke herself out trying to explore everything.Floria is immediately friendly with everyone. She's another one that doesn't understand the concept of "stranger danger". If you have a pulse, you're her friend. No takesies-backsies. She'll run straight into your arms in slow motion like it's Baywatch if you give her the chance. She would rather play with her handler/human than toys, though she has shown mild interest when a squeaky toy or a ball is thrown. She does well with other dogs and has shown no red flags in her interactions with them, just lots of happy, playful, excited energy. She's afraid of cats, so we would prefer a home without them. Kids 10+ would be great but exceptions can be made for the right family.Since she is a "restricted breed", you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application.

Story
Meet Bam!Bam is just as ridiculous as his ears are and just as ridiculous as his name would suggest. But seriously, look at those ears. Like, what even are those? Bunny ears on a dog, that's what.Bam is a two year old pit bull mix. Mixed with what, we have no idea. Rabbit. Jackalope. Jerboa maybe. It's one of life's greatest mysteries. He weighs about 65lbs so he isn't ridiculously big but he is high energy so it can sometimes seem like he's 100lbs. He is the happiest, dopiest, friendliest guy and all of that energy seems to come from pure, unbridled joy and enthusiasm for, like, everything. He loves people and would spend his days sitting there and staring at you adoringly with that big goofy smile, without a single thought behind his eyes, if he could. He knows his basics (sit, come, stay...sorta, etc) and he isn't terrible on a leash but he doesn't quite realize how strong he is so he can be a bit of a heavy puller. Another thing about Bam is that he likes to hoard his toys like a dragon with gold. His favorites are tennis balls and plushies though rope toys are not exempt from being added to his hoard. He's more interested in hoarding them than he is with playing with them but he will bounce around with a tennis ball like a goober. He's also, like, super nosy. He has a major case of FOMO. He needs to know what's happening on the other side of a door at all times like he's personally responsible for feeding the local gossip mill.Bam loves other dogs but, again, he's high energy so he'll need someone that can match that ridiculousness. We would prefer to place him with a female dog because he does seem to favor them. We're looking for a home without cats because he would most likely be way too much dog for most cats. Kids 12+ because small kids are small and Bam is not small. Bam is both the unstoppable force and the immovable object.Because he is a "restricted breed", you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application.
