Story
Coda is a beautiful, intelligent Blue Heeler with a lot of love to give, but she needs the right environment to truly thrive. She would do best in a home without other animals or children, as she values her personal space and can become overwhelmed in busy or unpredictable settings.Coda is very well trained and thrives with structure. She is fully house, leash, and crate-trained. She sleeps comfortably in her crate at night and when left home alone.Making the decision to rehome Coda has been incredibly difficult. I am currently five months pregnant, and I worry about her being around a young child who may not understand boundaries or personal space. My priority is finding her a safe, calm, and loving home where she can continue to grow and feel secure.Once Coda warms up, she is a love bug and incredibly loyal. She needs someone who will be patient with her. Due to her prior abuse, I was told it would be best to put her down rather than place in a shelter. Please help us find her a home

Story
We adopted Queenie 5 years ago. She was found abandoned on a street corner in TX and brought to MA by a rescue. She is sweet, energetic, and loves human attention and our yard. She bonds strongly to her people and thrives with routine and predictability. She may jump up when greeting new people. Queenie has resource guarding tendencies and can be defensive around food and sometimes personal space. She may growl or nip as a warning. Dog conflicts have occurred like when another dog rushes up and barks at her. She lives with a 5-year-old and has had no issues. She had TPLO surgery 8/25 fully recovered.She is dog selective and has done well staying with friends with an energetic dog and dogs at family events. The dynamic w/ our reactive Yorkie has increased tension in the home. She would do best with a calm, well-matched dog or an experienced owner who can provide clear expectations and consistent boundaries.

Story
Once was a momma — now a friend looking for a family of her own to love her Meet Rosie – a sweet, soulful girl ready for her fresh start! This beautiful 3-year-old, 40 lb shepherd mix was left behind as a stray in rural Texas, found caring for a litter of puppies (you may remember the adorable Lion King litter—Rosie is their amazing mama!). She’s been through a lot, including heartworm treatment, and now she’s healthy, happy, and ready to head north in search of her forever home. Rosie is a gentle and loving companion who just needs a little time to feel safe—once she does, her personality blossoms After about a week in her foster home, she transformed into a snuggly, playful sweetheart. She loves to run, play with toys, and has a funny habit of collecting shoes (don’t worry—she doesn’t chew them, she just builds a little pile of her fav treasures!). She’s also got a calm, chill side—perfect for someone who works from home. She enjoys snoozing next to the resident dog and is great on leash, happy to go for walks and sniff everything along the way. Rosie is still building confidence in new situations and around new people. This gal can be timid & would thrive as a second dog in a home with another calm, confident pup, or with someone who has experience with shy dogs. If you’re patient, loving, and ready to watch a gentle soul blossom, Rosie will absolutely steal your heart. crste trained & housebrokenspayed, vaccinated & microchipped————————Rosie is available for adoption in October  *Please note: We're an all-volunteer organization, and incomplete applications cannot be processed.* If you're interested in adopting a GBP rescue PAL, please submit an application through the link below.

Penelope was starved in her first life, and now her act two is going to be all about love, friendship, kindness, and being completely spoiled the way she deserves.  She is looking for a loving, happy family who will show her that from here on out, life is only going to get better.

Meet a senior sweetheart named Augie ‍ The moment we saw him, we fell in love—like truly instantly obsessed with this sweet, soulful boy Augie is a gentle soul who has been through more than his share, yet his spirit still shines. Augie was heartbreakingly found abandoned outside a PetSmart, thin and with some hair loss that told the story of a difficult road. But despite everything he’s endured, he remains incredibly loving and kind. Augie gets along well with other dogs and has a calm, gentle nature that makes him an easy and comforting companion. All he needs now is a family willing to show him that the best chapter of his life is still ahead—one filled with warmth, soft beds, and the love he’s always deserved. 10-12 years old— only 25 lbs!Kelpie/cattle dog type mixsweet senior palcrate trained in foster altered microchipped and vaccinated ready for fureva 4/30- apply today for Amesbury pick up!Applications on our website-link in bio Can’t adopt?Please share!!  please remember we are all volunteers &  incomplete applications will not be processed Apply to FOSTER or ADOPT today & get approved to bring a dog home.
