Story
Hi, my name is Boone and I am a quiet, goofy, and athletic boy! I am almost 2 years old and 36 lbs of love. I love car rides, long walks, pup cups, and playing with doggy friends. I was rescued from Texas 10 months ago and am so happy to be living in Massachusetts because I love pooping in leaves in fall and playing in the snow in winter! My moms say I'm the bestest and sweetest boy, but I'm too intense with my kitty brothers. It's not my fault they're so fun to mess with! I am fully house-trained and know to ring bells when I need to go out. I don't like the crate except for bedtime as long as I'm in the same room as my humans. I am a shy, sensitive boy and will need to go slow with new people. The best home for me would have a fenced-in yard and include a playful doggy sibling, or two, or maybe even more! I love to play, wrestle, and run around with my dog friends at daycare and at my grandma's house. I hope you can consider being my forever home!

Story
Devlin is a sweet and shy young lady who is looking for a home of her own! She came to us from a southern shelter so we don`t know much about her history, but she has been getting braver every day! Devlin loves to meet new people and hasn`t met a lap she didn`t try to climb into. She is super sweet and snuggly, but can be a bit overwhelmed by all the sights and sounds of her new environment. Since she can be worried in new places Devlin is looking for a family that can teach her about the world in a safe and fun way and go at her pace. Devlin really loves other dogs and we have seen her come out of her shell so much with the help of the dog friends she has made so Devlin is looking for a home with another social dog who can continue to help her build her confidence!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. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm – no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog that’s a good match! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new dog or puppy the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources.For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/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’re interested in - and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.

Story
Pringles is a senior pup looking for a quiet home to enjoying naps on the couch and slow walks to enjoy the outdoors. He is a shy boy that opens up after some time. Pringles usually finds himself connecting with a special person in his life. He is shy around other dogs and not much of a dog park kind of dog. Just too much for him and prefers the company of his favorite people. He is completely house trained, in good health, with all of his shots up to date, along with recent dental care at the vet. He is very food motivated, and loves pets and belly rubs. He can still move around well though his joints are showing age. Losing a few more pounds would certainly help that. So if you are looking for a kind older pup that loves to go on nice slow walks, of course car rides, and lounging on the couch with his forever family, Pringles is the dog for you!
