Brenda, 10 weeks old Female Golden/Boxer/Lab Mix Adopted Brenda and her 4 siblings are 10 weeks old. We were told they are boxer/lab mix but I think maybe some sheltie or golden retriever by the looks of the long hair on some of their ears and coats. They were a little shy at first but are coming around quickly to trust us. They are not hyper pups and don't jump all over you. They will only be placed in homes where someone is there most of the day so they can be properly housetrained. There are 3 males and 2 females. Renamed Lulu.

Thank you   Beethovan, 7 mo. old Male Flat Coated Retriever / Beagle  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Beethovan is a seven month old flat-coat mix with long, silky fur and a personality to die for. He may be spoken for by a preapproved applicant, but please feel free to apply just in case it falls through. He is crate trained. We're not sure about house trained   Bella, 9 mons Female Lab  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Bella is a playful 9 month old, 45 lb. female spayed Lab mix who was rescued from WV. She loves to play with other dogs and is tireless in her play, but very friendly and sweet. She would be a great family dog and would be an easy dog for a family with older kids. She might be to rough with a family that had cats. She's already spayed and seems house trained. Here's an update from her foster mom: Bella is doing very good. She is kinda of on a schedule for peeing and pooping outside, but she still has an accident here and there if she drinks too much water at one time. But her and Bruschi are getting along well. She is doing better with off and sit. She loves to play ball and a frozen Kong filled with peanut butter is her favorite thing. She goes nuts and it keeps her busy for a little while. I took her running yesterday and she did so good. Stayed by my side the whole time. She is starting to relax a little bit and lay down when we are just sitting or cooking, but she still need to by our side where ever we go. She is so sweet and lovey. My neighbors think she is the best. She still doesn't know what to think about the cats, but all she does is sniff, lick and follow them so far, which they aren't very fond of but they just walk away.   Cricket, 7 mo. old Female Lab Retreiver / Beagle  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Cricket is a seven month old Lab mix. She weighs under 40 lbs and is a medium-sized lab mixed with some hound, probably a beagle as she's smallish. She loves to play and is a good girl.   Jensen, 6 yrs. Male English Pointer Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Jensen is a six year old male English Pointer who sadly lost his home when his owner died suddenly. He came in with Tara, the ten year old female spitz mix and they are in a foster home together and doing very well. It would be great to place them together, but we are open to placing them separate as they do well on their own. Jensen is still quite playful but also loves sitting and watching TV with the grandson of the foster mom. Both dogs are good with kids, but were not raised with them.   Katie and Kelley, 9 week old Female Chow Chow / Samoyed  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adopted We have three 8 week old fuzzy pups who have black tongues like a chow but appear to be mixed with Spitz or American Eskimo or Samoyed. They are playful and very sweet. They are already crate trained too. They were abandoned at one week old and bottle fed by their foster mom. They are now ready for their own homes. the females are adopted, but Kip the male is available. He's a big fluff ball and extremely laid back so will probably be a larger dog. He looks like a Samoyed. Please read our puppy adoption requirements and other info on our "How to Adopt" page. Thank you!   Kip, 9 weeks Male Samoyed / Chow/Golden  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted We had three 8 week old fuzzy pups who are golden blonde but have some black on their tongues like a chow The females got adopted, but we held the male, Kip, for someone who ended up wanting a smaller dog, so he is the only pup left. He is handling it well and plays with Snowball, the spitz. He crates well and is very quiet, but let him out and he is a playing machine. He loves the rough and tumble wrestling and pulling on your pant legs, but when you pick him up, he is just like a big stuffed teddy bear. He lies quietly and licks your face. He still has the puppy breath and is just a LOVE. He will get scooped up quickly, we think. Please have flexible working hours or be a stay at home with older kids (ten and up if possible as he will get big quickly). Please read our puppy adoption requirements and other info on our "How to Adopt" page. Thank you!   Lady, 3+ years old Female English Shepherd  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Lady is an English Shepherd-type red & white spayed female dog, approximately 5 years old. She appeared as a stray at a local home and had 11 healthy puppies, all of which were adopted. The homeowners fostered her for 8 months and made great strides in overcoming her extreme shyness. They kept her on a chain for a large part of the time because she disappeared into the woods and they had trouble catching her. At that time, she was thought to be approximately 2 years old. She was moved to her current foster home in an attempt to further evaluate her and give her extra attention and training. A vet checked her, determined she was older than first thought, and prescribed arthritis med. She seems to have made some improvement, though still sometimes limps on the foreleg (from an old injury) and is very low energy. Lady is an extremely sensitive, submissive dog. She has warmed up to her foster people and comes when you pat your leg. She rolls over on her back and enjoys belly rubs. She seems quite intelligent and loveable. She walks well on lead and plays a bit with other dogs but tires quickly. She is good with dog-friendly cats and with gentle children. She is housebroken. She travelled ok in a crate to the vet and acted quiet but not terrified while there. She rests nearby or on an enclosed porch when the foster mom is working at the desk. She needs to belong to a patient owner who is willing to gain her confidence. Someone who is retired or who wants a dog mainly as an indoor companion seems ideal, as she seems to get along well on 3-4 short walks a day. Her beautiful long coat will need regular brushing, but she's basically a low maintenance pet. Lady is doing so well in her foster home, that she is considering adopting her so as to not move her again.   Logan, 1 year old Male Choc Lab / Rottie  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Logan is a one year old Chocolate lab/Rottweiler mix. He has one brown eye and one blue eye so he could have some husky in him too. He was picked up as a stray and did his ten days at the pound. He is being fostered and is good with the other dogs in the house hold and is a good-natured dog. He needs some leash training and general obedience training. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. He is in a foster home in Natick and available to be seen by private appointment.   Lucas, 8 mons Male Shetland Sheepdog / Dachshund  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Lucas is a 15 lb. neutered male Dachshund/Sheltie mix. He's adorable and playful and very curious about everything. His only drawback is he's a little timid with men. He was just not socialized with men so an adopter needs to be willing to work on that. He's a young dog and will easily adjust with a little training. Lucas and Rugby are siblings that have been raised together. Their owner has been hospitalized and can no longer keep them. Their Mom was a sheltie mix with long hair but the boys didn't inherit their Mom's long hair. They are 8 months old and have been raised with kids, dogs and cats and are good with all, except Lucas can play a little too rough with the kitties. They are neutered and housetrained. They each weigh 20 lbs and will be placed separately.   Pip, One Female Min Pin / Chihuahua  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Pip is a young female Min Pin mix, probably with chihuahua. She a loveable little dog who loves to play, play, play. She loves toys, especially squeakies. She's very affectionate, is a barrel of laughs and like many small dogs, she can be fresh with large dogs. She weighs about 15 lbs.   Reilly, 5 yrs old Male Lab  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Reilly is a five year old male lab cross. He has a beautiful lab face with a funny curly tail; it curls up like a pig's tail. He is neutered, house trained, and knows basic commands. Reilly is your typical happy go-lucky labby boy. Although on the small size, about 55 lbs, he is very strong and should go to a home with no children or older children who can handle his strength. He is good with cats, kids and some other dogs. He is currently in a house with another large male dog, two cats and two small children on an electric fence. Reilly can be dominant with some other dogs and strangers and territorial around the fence. He is very treat-motivated and is a fast learner so someone with the time to give him the one on one around the fence would be awesome. He needs a dog-experienced home who is willing to spend the time with him. He is a great dog who loves the water, loves to play and do everything dogs do. He is good in the house and past the chewing stage so would be great for a working person.   Rugby, 8 mons Male Shetland Sheepdog / Dachshund  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Rugby is an adorable dog who came in with his brother, Lucas. He is friendly and gentle and playful. Read his story as follows: Lucas and Rugby are siblings that have been raised together. Their owner has been hospitalized and can no longer keep them. Their Mom was a sheltie mix with long hair but the boys didn't inherit their Mom's long hair. They are 8 months old and have been raised with kids, dogs and cats and are good with all, except Lucas can play a little too rough with the kitties. They are neutered and housetrained. They each weigh 20 lbs and will be placed separately. Arriving 9/2, available after 9/5.   Snowball, Young Female Spitz  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Snowball is a delightful 3 year old tiny female Spitz mix. She weighs less than 20 lbs and is a playful dog once she comes out of her shell. She is shy at first, but when she warms up, she is all play bows and runs around the yard enjoying life. She loves stuffed animals and soft toys and it is so cute to watch her play with them. She is good with small dogs and plays with the puppies very gently. She would be too delicate for children and probably would be shy with men, so a female adopter would be perfect. she's warming up to men too, though. Her pictures don't do her justice.   Tara, 10 yrs old Female Spitz  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Tara is an adorable, friendly, playful 10 year old spitz mix who sadly lost her home when her owner died suddenly. She came in with Jensen, the six year old Pointer and they are in a foster home together and doing very well.
