Mix
Click on picture to enlarge
Adopted
Bold is a 5 month old Papillon/Pom mix who was brought to us this week with a broken leg. He's had his surgery and doesn't have a cast. He is expected to have a normal life and is ADORABLE and ADOPTABLE. We are still raising funds for him, but he could go home at any time. He will need a stay at home or part time worker. No small children. Teens and up. His recovery time will be 8 weeks so we're looking for a compassionate, stay-at-home adopter who has a quiet home. Thank you for considering this adorable pup!
This is Bolt. He is a purebred neutered male Min Pin and is 5 years old. He is from a local shelter where he was terrified, but he came out of his shell at Save A Dog and is such a joy. Supposedly, he didn't get along with the service dog in the home. He was in the home for 4 days before being brought to the shelter. He's now with us as of 9/16. He settled in quickly and has been friendly with the staff and volunteers, including teens. If you love Min Pins, you'll love Bolt. He's a real hit with everyone he meets. He's good with cats!
Cody is 5-6 year old Collie mix, could be some Shepherd too. He is a gentle soul who lived with 3 other males in large pen at a shelter in Indiana. Let's give this sweet dog a chance at a forever home. They said he has NO aggression whatsoever. No cats, though. He tries to chase. He loves to go for walks and loves people. We don't know his history with children so an adult home would be ideal for Cody.
Cowbell, ~ 10 weeks Female Australian Shepherd
Mix

Adopted
Cowbell is the smallest of the litter of three Australian Shepherd pups from Indiana. They have been in foster care since they were just a week old. They are a sweet group. Please be a stay at home or work from home as they need time and attention. They will be shown privately to applicants who have filled out the online application.
Cowboy is the blue merle male of the litter of three Australian Shepherd pups from Indiana. They have been in foster care since they were just a week old. They are a sweet group. Please be a stay at home or work from home as they need time and attention. They will be shown privately to applicants who have filled out the online application.
Doodles is a 1 1/2 year old neutered male Lab mix. He is small, only weighing 28 lbs. He is up to date on vaccines. He is very sweet. Playful. Great with kids and other dogs. Not good with cats. Good on a leash. Foster mom says, "Doodles is very friendly, playful, sweet and affectionate. Good with all over handling. Walks well on leash/No pulling. Loves his walks. He does have a desire to chase rabbits and squirrels but is easily redirected. He has learned the "sit" and "come" command....in ONE day!
Gets along well with other dogs, a little timid with larger dogs but warms up quickly (we met a large 12 year old golden retriever, a small poodle, two cockapoos and a Havanese) Seems fine with a few children we met aged 5, 10 and 12.
Doodles sleeps well all night in the crate, doesn't like going in but is quiet when he is in there. He loves treats, bully sticks and plush squeaky toys. Come meet him on Tuesday 3-6 or Sat 12-3 PM. Thanks!

Hi I'm Felix and I'm 3 months old. I like to play and I like to cuddle too. I look like a tiny Lab, but surely I have other breeds in me. I'm looking for a wonderful loving adopter who can be at home during the day as I'm too young for day care. I promise to love you and obey you, if you train me, of course. I'm available soon. I'm called a terrier but i look very labby, even my coloring is Lab. Soon you'll know, when you meet me.
Finn is a one year old Maltese male whose owner became ill and could no longer care for him. Finn is a local boy and barely arrived before two loving women adopted him. So happy for you, Finn!
Freddy is a six month old Plott Hound mix who lost his home. He is a highly energetic dog who needs some training, but he has a heart of gold. He is too big for most children so teens and up would be ideal. He needs someone to throw a ball for him or another dog to play with. An application in advance speeds the adoption process.
Are you looking to adopt a very sweet Yorkie/Maltese mix? He is about 2 years old. This little guy is very sweet and lovable, but he's a terrier and needs a terrier-savvy home. He is house trained, crate trained, loves to run in a fenced yard with the other foster dogs, and he walks well on leash.
This little guy has had a tough start. He needs an experienced owner who understands how to handle a "sassy, typical terrier". He can be protective of his toys and not always willing to share them or his bones, especially when he's tired. However, he is easily redirected and stopped with verbal commands. He likes to run and play with "easy-going, non reactive" dogs. He's being fostered with 5 dogs right now and is doing great. He would do best in a home with a fenced yard and without children. Anyone who has had the Yorkie breed would understand the terrier personality. Please apply online as he is in a foster home.
Harry is an adorable 8 lb Poodle mix who needs a loving home. He wasn't raised with children so an adult home would best. He came in with Sally his sibling and she got a great home. Now we're looking for a lovely adopter for Harry. He seems to be house trained. They were rescued in TX and they are about 2 years old and pretty laid back. They have been in foster about 2 months before coming to Save A Dog. An application is best before coming to meet him as he's in a foster home. He will be at the shelter on Sat, 10/1 from 12-3 PM. Our cost for rescuing these dogs exceeds the adoption donation, so please help us with a donation. Thank you!
Hawkeye is just AWESOME! He's a 7 year old JRT. He's a lap dog, not a psycho terrier type. Jumps up into your lap. The intake shelter writes: This little JRT mix about 7-8 years old and about 12 pounds is already neutered. He loves to greet people at the shelter and to sit on someone's lap and give kisses. Hangs out in the lobby a lot with free roaming cat and other dogs coming/going. His bio says he prefers a calm environment, but we had lots of activity in that lobby and he didn't seem stressed at all. Mister social butterfly felt very comfortable climbing onto the bench and notifying Bob that it was laptime. I pulled him into my lap too, no problem. I didn't hear him bark at all but some said he will bark when visitors come to the gate if he sees them coming. He seems like a great little dude!
Hazel Grace is a petite, young terrier mix who found herself scared and wet and on the streets of Houston, TX. A nice lady stopped to give her some food and she jumped right in her truck and said, "Rescue me, please!" so now she is dry and safe with the rescue. She is very sweet, loving and a lap baby. She learned the doggy door within 24 hours. She sleeps in bed with her foster mom and foster brothers and sisters. Upon her vet exam we learned she has luxating patellas, which is common in some small breeds. The vet doesn't expect she will need surgery, but a holistic minded home who might use acupuncture and other therapies would be a good option for Hazel. If you miss out on Hazel or if she is not the dog for you, please apply anyway as we have many look-alikes coming in the weeks and months to come as we have just launched the Save our Scruffies program. It is costly to rescue these little ones so we desperately need donations to keep this program going. Thank you!
Honey is an 8 mos old Yellow Lab mix. She is super friendly, but needs to run off lots of puppy energy in a fenced in yard. She needs time and training, but is good with people and dogs. She lost her home when her owner suffered a stroke and was no longer able to care for her. She is available as of Tuesday 10/11/16.
Juanita is an adorable 2 year old Dachshund mix (they say Chihuahua) who is very sweet. She ended up in a bad situation so had to be rescued. Juanita loves people and small dogs, but is afraid of larger dogs. She is available to be seen as of 10/11/16. Pictures don't do her justice. We'll have better ones soon.
Kiki is a 12 week old female Shepherd/Collie mix (we think). She came in with her brother, Kip, and has been in a foster home in Indiana for the past few weeks. She's sweet and adoptable. She's had her first vaccines and is too young to spay (maturity is best all the research proves). Please be holistic minded and someone who has the time for a puppy. Applications must be received in advance of meeting her. No phone calls please.

Mix

Adopted
Hi there, My name is Lee and I'm looking for my forever family. I'm four months old and just a baby so I will need someone home most of the day to teach me everything a dog should know. Positive, reward-based training is best for me. I will be available on Saturday, 10/15/16.
Lizzy is a 4 year old Boxer who we learned about because she was living outside and it's getting cold. She gets along great with other dogs and is very affectionate with people. She weighs 45 lbs and is super sweet! She's available 10/18/16.
Mack is a 2 year old neutered Heeler mix. He is so sweet. He is great with kids and dogs and possibly cats. He's a sensitive soul and a gentle family or quiet home would help him to flourish. He's playful, but not over-the-top. He's been great on a leash and good riding in a car. He weighs 25 lbs. He is a little shy at first meeting, but he warms up quickly and is super affectionate! We'd love to see Mack get a great home! His foster mom says: Mack was best friends with my dog who is a female within 5 minutes. They have played outside all day. She plays rough and he doesn't mind a bit. He saw the cat and didn't chase. He was interested, though, but not aggressive. Come meet Mack at our shelter on Tuesdays 3-6 and Sats 12-3. 604 Boston Post Rd, Sudbury MA.
Hi, My name is Mellee. I'm a 7 year old Beagle girl and I would love a nice warm bed to lie on. I was abandoned by my humans. I was left on my own for 2 weeks and a neighbor heard my cries and called rescue. They said I was flea-ridden, dirty and pitiful. The neighbor started taking food over once they realized the people had left and were not coming back. She said I cried a lot until someone goes over to soothe me. I am sweet and innocent and did not deserve to be abandoned to die. Now I'm at Save A Dog where I have the chance at finding a loving home. Would that be you? I weigh 20 lbs.
Our good friend and co-rescuer Judy who ran New England Saint Bernard Rescue for 30 years, passed away recently and her two Saint Bernards now need a home together.

Molly, ~ 4 years Female Border Collie / Great Pyrenees
Mix
Click on picture to enlarge
Adopted
Molly is a beautiful Border Collie / Great Pyrenees mix with the most soulful gorgeous brown eyes! Molly was adopted to a family last year and recently returned. Molly's family says she is super affectionate and easy going but they weren't able to fence their back yard and having to meet dogs on leash became a frustration to her. Molly is good with cats but she would prefer to be an only dog. She will need some gentle dog introductions if you plan on leash walking, although she has gone on walks with a male dog and has done fine. She is at a boarding kennel now and is friendly when meeting other dogs, not even so much as a growl. All in all, she's an awesome dog who loves her people. She is a quiet dog and loves to sit outside in her back yard, much like the Pyrenees. Inside she wants to hang out with her people. She has such a big heart and is hoping to find her forever home soon! Please apply at saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp and come meet this wonderful dog!
Penny is a five year old Beagle whose owner recently passed away. She has short legs like a Basset, but was registered as a full Beagle. She is the sweetest dog, great with dogs and kids, unknown to cats but has a gentle personality. She is available starting on 10/29/16. She is crate trained but not house trained as she lived in a kennel. She was just spayed at Tufts so needs a quiet week to start out, which would work well for crating while you are house training her. She is microchipped and up to date on vaccines. She would do great with a fenced in yard so she could sniff to her heart's delight.
Hi! My name is Princess. I am about 3 yrs old. I love to hug and cuddle with my people as much as possible. I’m very laid back. Like every poodle I am very smart and already know some commands. I’m housebroken and will go in my crate when you ask but please don’t shut the crate door it makes me sad and I will cry. I am good with other dogs but I prefer boy dogs. But I would be fine being your one and only. I will even greet you with a happy howl when you come home. I might be spoken for already so an application is required. I'm available 10/18/16.
I love sunshine, don’t you? Can I be YOUR sunshine? My name is Roscoe and I am an adorable Chinese Crested/terrier mix. I think I’m about 1-2 years old. I love to play but then I like to relax and chill afterwards. I enjoy a nice warm bath too. I am a little shy when I first meet you, but once I get to know you I am as sweet and loving as can be. I am a lap dog and I will bury my nose in the crook of your arm to take naps. I love children and all other dogs, and I would really prefer to have a confident little dog friend that I can play with and will help to bring me out of my shell and show me the ropes. I am very interested in cats; although once they show me they mean business, I run away. I am crate trained, but you have to coax me to go in. I’m still learning how to let my people know I need to go out to go potty so I have had a couple of poop accidents in the house - but they are always on a rug near one of the doors. I’m very smart and eager to learn. Do you have room in your life for a cute little scruffy like me?
Hi there, My name is Scooby and I'm just a pup right now, but I'm already neutered and up to date on my booster shots. I like to play, but I'm a cuddle bunny too! Please adopt me! I need a stay-at-home or work from home. I am a good puppy and working on my house training!

Mix

Adopted
Hi, My name is Shay and I'm a Terrier, one of the TX scruffies! They think Border or Norwich, possible Cairn, but who cares because I am a great dog. I love people! My tail is a blur I wag it so much. I’m 2 years old and very outgoing and friendly. I like to play but I also like to be a lap dog and give kisses. Norfolk Terriers are called the teddy bears of terriers. Look! I even lie like a bear… rug that is. I'm a little over 2 years old and will be available on 10/18/16. I passed the cat test so I can go to a new home with cats!I'm a little over 2 years old and will be available on 10/18/16.
Hi there, My name is Shrek and I'm a 9 month old Pug/Pom mix.I am neutered and up to date on my vaccines. I am sweet. My little tail curls up on my back. Everyone says I'm a gorgeous pup and I will stay pretty small. I'm better with female dogs than males and I have to act tough with big dogs because I'm so small (under 10 lbs). I am available for adoption and can be seen at Save A Dog, 604 Boston Post Road, Sudbury, MA from 12-3 on Sat. and Tuesday 3-6 PM.

Tucker is a 1 1/2 year old neutered Basset/Hound mix. He is very sweet and has the calm, Basset personality. Never barks. Loves everyone. Great with kids and dogs. Playful. Weighs 50 lbs. Good with cats, passed the cat test, ignored them. He's available immediately!
Hey what’s that over there? Is that a park? Are those kids over there? I LOVE kids, older, dog-savvy ones, that is. My name is Winston. I am a happy boy. I love to run, leap and play. I run so fast my foster Mom says, when I hit the slippery floors, I look just like Bambi on ice with my long legs going all over the place. I’m shy at first but I warm up fast. Once I get to know you I am very outgoing. I’m only a year old so I still have a lot to learn and I would definitely like to go to obedience school. I bet I might even like agility or flyball – since I am so fast. I like female dogs (male dogs not so much). I would love a female dog playmate and a fenced yard so I can really run when the mood strikes me. Does your family need a walking or a hiking buddy? Then I’m your man. An application is required for me as I will be a popular boy given that I'm non-shedding. I'm available on 10/18/16. No phone calls please!
