This is our Good Charlotte. She is a very, very sweet Beagle mix who is about 9 months old (as of 1/4). She is a gentle dog who is a bit timid. But she definitely wants attention and love, and will quickly get as close to you as possible. That may mean she lays on your feet, stands between your legs, and climbs up in your lap. She's also glad to give you a big hug! Charlotte's goal in life is to please you, and love you. And with her gentle, loving personality, that should be easy to do! She will fit into any household since she gets along with kids, cats and dogs. However, she is a little possesive of her chew and if another dog tries to get aggressive with her, she'll stand up for herself. No person is a stranger to Charlotte, and she welcomes all who want to pet her. Adopted Her foster mom writes: Good Charlotte is a sweet, docile hound/beagle mix who loves everyone, including kids, dogs and everyone else she meets! She is about 2 years old and loves to cuddle up with you when inside but also loves to be outside sniffing about in search of squirrels and other things to chase. She would love to have a fenced in yard in which she could play with her pals, human or canine, and she would also enjoy regular on-leash walks around your neighborhood to keep those squirrels in their place! She is housebroken and crate-trained, and has the sweetest face and the biggest brown eyes that will melt your heart. She is called Good Charlotte, not just Charlotte, for all the right reasons

Trifle, 5 year old female Chinese Crested, Hairless

Trifle is a five year old, female, hairless Chinese Crested Dog. She is quiet, sweet, shy and submissive. She gets along well with other dogs, and loves cats. She is 10-12 pounds. Trifle probably was not someone's pet before, so we would like to place her in a home where someone can be with her a lot to help socialize her. Save A Dog has placed more than 20 Chinese Crested dogs in new homes over the last few years. In general, we prefer adult homes. Hairless Chinese Crested dogs need clothing and regular dental care, and have skin problems, so potential adopters should be aware of the special needs and costs of this unusual breed. Devotees agree that they are great, devoted, loving dogs, with a sense of humor and just dying to be pampered. Trifle fits that description perfectly. She has indicated her preference for a home in which she is welcome to sleep under the covers. Adopted!   Lacy is a beautiful 4 year old Belgian Sheepdog/Collie mix with a long lustrous black coat. She is lab size and sweet as can be. Very gentle with treats and with children. Good with cats and fine with other dogs. She has been well trained and knows sit, down, stay and come. She isn't scared of loud noises (like vacuum cleaners). She is very obedient and eager to please. She is mellow in the house and content to just curl up on her dog bed or on the kitchen floor while you are cooking (she is not a counter surfer). She likes to be near you but isn't clingy. She greets you with a little dance when you come in and looks like a dancing bear when she plays with her plush toys. She pulls a little on leash but not too hard. Very manageable for an adult or teenager. She has a sweet, sweet temperament and will be a loyal pet and companion. If your looking for a dog that is sweet, well trained and with good manners, Lacy is your girl. Adopted

	Ginger Snap, 4 year old female Shepherd

Ginger is a 4 year old female German Shepherd who came to us from Thomas J. O'Connor. She was turned in by her male owner, so she likes men. She is in a female household currently and doing fine. There's a male dog in the household and she is the boss, but they get along fabulously. She barks when anybody comes to the door, so she is a good watch dog, but no signs of aggression or being over protective. She is very playful and very people oriented. She doesn't like to be outside alone, she wants to be with her people. The foster mom thinks she would do well with a family but also older people, because she so likes company. She is strong on a leash so would probably do best with a fenced in yard. At the shelter she had a bad habit of clacking her teeth, which would scare people. Our volunteers thought it was a trick that she learned as she does it to get attention. We haven't seen the behavior in awhile. She sits, speaks and gives paw. The foster's 10 year old sons plays with both dogs together without incident. Adoption in progrss. Being cat tested

	Sissy, 1+ year old female Shepherd mix

	Sweet and soft, Sissy is about a year or so old and was brought to the Lowell pound as a stray. She looks like she just had a litter of pups recently. She loves attention and would be happiest with someone around all the time. She passed our temperament test with flying colors. We may have an adopter from the adoption event. Adoption in progress!

Dixie, 1 yr old female, Collie mix

This pretty dog is Dixie. She is a Border Collie/Smooth coated Collie mix who is around 10 months old (as of 12/1). Dixie is about 55-60 lbs and is much prettier than the picture. Very  much crate trained and very quiet.She's really a very sweet loving dog.  She's not very timid now after getting used to being here.  She likes other dogs and plays well with them.  She needs a good walk each day, as any dog does.  If you can take her to a dog park or place where she can run and play with other dogs, she would love that.  ADOPTED!

When you leave her home, she would be best put into a crate, where she can feel secure, and where she can't get into mischief in the house due to her young age.   She shouldn't be left alone in the crate for a long long time - especially not all day.  Is there anyone at home who can take her out in the middle of the day?  She's also very friendly.  She met lots of people at the last adoption day.  She's a great dog who will make someone a very good friend.

Maxine, 3 mo. old female dacshund mix

Maxine is a 3 month old, sweet small Dacschund mix. She is submissive with larger puppies and rode up with two of them quietly in the crate. She has a little sniffles going on, but is otherwise very healthy and ready to be adopted. She's going to be a small dog. If you rent, we must see a note from the land lord indicating dogs are allowed. She's at the vet this week as one of the pups who was crated with her got sick, so she's on watch. She has received many applications. ADOPTED!

Gimley, 14 week old male Boxer/Min Pin mix

What a sweet, little puppy this is! This is Gimli who is 12 weeks old (as of 1/31). He is a Boxer mix, but we really don't know what he is mixed with. Chihuahua? We think he will be a medium sized dog when fully grown. Gimli is very playful and active. He loves to play and find fun toys to chew on. He is adorable and has such a cute face! ADOPTED!

Gimley is a very hungry boy and will need to gain a few pounds before putting him on a rigid feeding schedule.

	Giger, 15 month old AKC Yellow Lab

These gorgeous purebred yellow labs are being relinquished due to a family break-up.  We thought we would keep them together, but each needs and longs for the individual attention that companion animals deserve. They have been great pals together, so it's been good that they've had each other. Abby, pictured left,  is a 96 lb. stocky English-bred lab who is soft and sweet.Giger was very responsive when separated from his mate. He melts when you show him human attention and affection and he's desperately seeking for a human to be his leader.  Giger is on the right, Abby on the left. ADOPTED!

	Naomi, 1+ yr old female Shepherd

This sweet shepherd mix came in with a litter of pups. Like many of the southern dogs, she is heart worm positive so we are looking for a foster-to-adopt situation for her. After her treatment she will need to be kept quiet with just leash walking for several weeks, then a second treatment with a shorter confinement and at last freedom to run and play. She's a sweet, sweet dog. Adoption in progress.

	Tiny Divas, female Collie/Golden mixes 9 weeks

Tiny Diva, left, is a little fluff ball of love. They were thought to be chows but there is no black on the tongue at all. They look like collie/golden mixes, or large Poms. Who knows. Very cute and sweet. ADOPTED!

	Little Diva, female Collie/Golden mix 9 weeks

LIttle Diva, above, is one of the fluffiest puppies you'll ever meet. She was thought to be chows but there is no black on the tongue at all. She looks like collie/golden mixes, or large Poms. Who knows. Very cute and sweet. Must be a stay at home to apply . She is paper-trained and easily entertained. Will need lots of brushing so a place with woods might not be the ideal situation for her. Adoption in progress. We've already received too many applications for this one puppy and we have several preapproved families in line to see her. ADOPTED

	Sunshine, female Lab mix 1.5 years

Sunshine, pictured left with happy Rachael, is a sweet smallish yellow Lab mix who was stuffed into a tiny drop off box for dogs. It's hard to imagine anything so horrible could happen to such a wonderful companion animal. Anyway, she's adorable and lovely and deserving to be spoiled for the rest of her days. She is available now. About a half dozen wonderful women drove these girls up to MA, each taking a leg of the trip and giving us updates along the way. It's so heart-warming that amidst the horror these dogs have been through, that there are people who will go the extra mile to give them a chance at life. Let's not disappoint them. ADOPTED

Tiny Tim, 1 year old male Min Pin/Chihuahua mix

Delightful is the only way to describe this little guy - a friendly ball of energy. He loves everybody and is really people-focused, a 10 lb. lap dog. He wouldn't be happy sitting home all day as he's just a young guy. An early retiree , or someone who works part time and has a playful dog at home, would be perfect. Tiny Tim loves to play with dogs and kids over 5. He loves to play fetch and tug with his favorite stuffed toy. Because of his small size, he has to wear a coat in the very cold weather, and when there is deep snow prefers to get his exercise indoors. He is crate trained, is learning basic obedience, and well on his way to being completely housetrained. He is happy, happy, full of joy! ADOPTED

	Mickey Chin, 14 wk old male Japanese Chin mix

This little ball of fluff is the most loving, adorable puppy you will ever find. He weighs about 4.5 lbs. so needs a quiet household with adults or older children who would not step on him. He is a ball of energy until you pick him up to hold him, then he is just like a little baby. He loves his toys and is friendly. He will need lots of socialization. We would not place him with large dogs as he would easily get hurt. ADOPTED and soon to be a pet therapy dog visiting local nursing homes.

	Lily, 2 yr old female Tibetan Spaniel, small

Lilly, approximately 2 years old, is a sweetheart of a dog. She passed the temperament test with flying colors and was perfectly still for her bath. She was a little frightened at the pound, but quickly warmed up to the staff and is now in a foster home and flourishing. She will be spayed and ready for adoption. Apply here. Adopted!

	Rachael, female Beagle/Corgi mix, 1yr

This is Rachael. She was in a southern shelter and a favorite of all, but it's just been so hard for most dogs to get adopted out of some of these rural shelters. She came from a place where the building next door exploded so all the dogs had to be evacuated. Poor Rachael is such a good sport about it and is such a happy little dog. She's about 25 lbs. full grown. Cute, cute! Adopted

	Bengy, 1+ yr old male Poodle/Lhasa mix

Bengy's before picture. His coat was very matted and scruffy. He was panting under the heat of it all. Poor thing. Bengy's new look, thanks to Dawn of the Pampered Pooch in Belmont! Dawn is also a Save A Dog volunteer. Adopted

Bengy is a one to two year old male who seems to be housebroken and is very pleasant. He was a Lowell stray whose coat was in sad shape. He is a 20 lb dog. He is quiet and pretty well mannered. He likes to stand on his hind legs and dance. Adopted, but returned for allergies. He might have some cocker in him, so if you have allergies, do not apply for this dog.

	Earsula, 2 year old Yorkie mix female

This dog is to DIE for. Beautiful personality. Sweet sweet sweet. She came in very matted and frightened, but once in the foster home was very sweet. It took the foster mom over 2 hours to remove all the mats and all this baby did was lay down and be good and once in a while give her kisses. Great with her bath, no nipping, no whining, no barking. She is about 5lbs and the doctor's office says about 2 years old. Please, no small children. We will consider local adopters first. We don't need to go out of state to find an adopter for a little cutie like this. Adult home, only dog would suit her best. She deserves to be someone's little princess.Adopted

	Bonnie & Clyde, 4 year old Tibetan Spaniels, male and female

	Talk about personality plus! It's hard to believe these adorable little dogs were abandoned. These are two intelligent, confident and outgoing healthy young dogs who are housebroken and altered, perfectly comfortable being crated together, and ready to go to a nice home. Please give them a chance. Maybe a working couple would like two dogs. They love to race around and wrestle each other and are the best of pals, entertaining themselves as well as everybody who has had a chance to see them in action. They get along with other dogs but should be fed separately from new dogs as, while fine eating with each other, they will guard their food from strange dogs who try to 'share' (both have been perfectly fine receiving treats sitting side by side with several other dogs but will guard food bowls and the like). They love to race around the back yard so a fenced in yard would be ideal for these two. A representative from Tibetan Spaniel rescue said folks joke that the breed is a mix of dog, cat, and monkey and it fits! Loving and affectionate yet confident and secure enough to entertain themselves while being very bright! A home without cats would be ideal, but both Tibbies are currently being trained to resist the urge to chase cats. Adopted.

	Ringo, 9 mo old male Cattle Dog mix

Ringo loves being with people and other dogs. He would like to play with cats, as well, but the only ones he has met hissed at him, and since he is no dummy, he didn't pursue the attempt to introduce himself. He can't believe the motherload of doggie toys in his foster home. He takes them out and plays with them whenever he ien't outside or asleep He is very entertaining.

He is so cute, it is hard to dissuade him from his loving greetings. He is doing very well with his house training and signals when he needs to go out. He is an eager student and because of his intelligence and athletic ability, he would be a great agility prospect as well as a wonderful running, & hiking companion.

He pulls a little on the leash, but it's not bad. He doesn't respond to any names, but turns and comes if you whistle. Rides well in the car - no barking, no whining, no car sickness :-). ADOPTED!

	Skippy, <1 yr. Spaniel mix
