Anslee, 5 months Female Lab  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Anslee and her two siblings are five months old. They were tossed out at a public library in rural TN. A reporter put their pictures in the paper asking for someone to rescue them. A kennel took them in and had planned to find homes for them, but called and asked if our contact would take them instead. Anslee is very friendly, cute, sweet natured and very playful. She likes playing with squeaky toys, balls and her sisters. She is fine in the car, good with dogs she doesn't know, fine with strangers. We don't know about cats and she is not used to a leash....so will need a little work. Down south, they have not had them inside, but they were in a run at the kennel for a month or so and the kennel owner said the pups would wait to be let out....seldom messed in their run Last Modified: 11/29/2008 10:44:54 PM EST Printable Description

Bernadette, 8-10 months Female Terrier  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Bernadette is around 40#, 8-10 mo old, cute, playful, friendly with people and good with other dogs. Is extremely affectionate and thinks she's a lap dog. She's been known to flop over and give you her belly for some loving. She loves playing with big dogs. She is good in the car, okay on leash...could use a little more practice. She was dropped at a rescuer's house. This is a typical story from our rescue contact: A truck came by and I heard tires squeal and saw her trying to catch up with the truck. She came back to my yard once the truck was gone. She and Dover became good friends and played all the time. She deserves a loving adopter. In New England people are going to assume she's pit because of her markings, but her head is not shaped like a pit bull, so we're just not sure. BUT if you adopt her, you need to be prepared to deal with people thinking she's a pit bull. Available now. Come meet her Saturday, November 15 or Sunday November 16, noon to 4PM at our new facility at 604 Boston Post Road in Sudbury, MA. Last Modified: 11/29/2008 10:46:48 PM EST Printable Description

Blackie, 9 months Male Lhasa-poo  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Blackie is a nine month old pup from WV. We think he's a Lhasa-poo, but can't guarantee. He's lightweight, maybe 20 lbs, but can jump five feet straight up in the air when he's excited. He likes to play and is a great dog for an active family. Not a dog to sit in a crate or be alone all day. He likes to be the top dog with other dogs even though he's a little guy. He thinks all the toys and food is his, so we're looking for a dog-savvy owner who will train him and set limits.

Boedi, 10 months Male Whippet/Beagle/Shepherd  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Update: Boedi is now up to 55 lbs so he grew.

Boedi is a 10 month old, neutered, mixed breed WV dog. We're not sure of the breeds, but some Beagle or Shepherd as he has the black saddle. His owner is moving and can't take him. She's exhausted all efforts to place him before she moves and can't bear the thought of taking him to the county pound. Neutered and vaccinations are current, including rabies. Housebroken, sleeps inside. She puts him outside on a lead for awhile when it's nice during the day. Is trained to sit on command, shake hands, as shown in pictures. He is leash trained.

Last night he was burying something in the bark mulch and it was his toy, so sweet! He sees cats all the time, so could be fine with a cat, but should be tested first.

Chloe, 7 years old Female Golden Retriever Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Chloe is a 7 year old spayed female Golden who is a very sweet girl. She is good on leash and good in the car. All she wants is a little love. She is very good in the house she just lays at your feet hoping for a pat. She gives kisses and is just an over all good dog. Her owner passed away. She was the husband's dog and was forced to live outside in the back yard and was not allowed to come inside very much. The woman who gave her up said Chloe would watch her and the two inside dogs through the glass door. She said Chloe loves to ride in the car, go for long walks, go with them when they went horse back riding. Chloe has a tendency to gain wt. and she has had her on a diet. Chloe is spayed, utd on shots. She is sad right now and upset. She needs someone to bond with and someone who will make her feel secure. She doesn't understand all the changes that have occurred in her life in the last few months. She is a good dog, good with cats, good with other dogs as far as we can tell and the owner said she was. A stay at home, please, for this dog. She's had too many losses to bond with a family and then be left alone all day. Holistic home (no cheap dog food) preferred. Dogs are allergic to corn, so a corn-based diet will ruin this nice dog. She will need good nutrition and daily walks, no pesticide-based flea/tick products, please. There are plenty of healthy alternatives that don't cause cancer. Last Modified: 11/29/2008 10:47:07 PM EST Printable Description

Hattie, 3-4 years Female Hairless Chinese Crested   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Hattie is an adult female Hairless Chinese Crested Dog. She was found in a kill shelter in TN and named Hattie because she resembled an old hat. She has no teeth, but that doesn't mean much as cresteds have horrible teeth and are born sometimes missing teeth. We will have our vet age her when she arrives and is examined two days later. Update: now that she's here, she looks much younger, like a young adult. she is so sweet. Needs to gain some weight, but just precious. Crested people, I know you're out there, otherwise, the volunteers will be fighting over her. We're already building a wardrobe for her. Foster mom says: "What she lacks in size, she makes up for in personality. Unless asleep, Hattie never stops moving. (a common trait of cresteds) You can always hear the pitter-patter of her feet on the hardwood, even when she is just standing. She spins when she gets excited and nibbles on your nose when she plays. She loves soft stuffed animals and can entertain herself by shaking the toy, throwing it across the room, and bolting after it. She is very skinny, and has a ways to go in terms of weight gain. Right now, we are feeding her 3-4 small meals a day to build her up. In terms of potty training, she hasn't had any accidents in the house, but whoever adopts her has to know that she needs lots of potty breaks throughout the day to reinforce her success. (Not to mention she is eating much more than a normal dog) She is a very easy going dog and just loves to love. She is great with other dogs of all sizes and has the crested confidence- she isn't afraid of anything or anyone." Last Modified: 11/29/2008 6:56:18 PM EST Printable Description

Indy, 1 year old Male Lab  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Indy is a sweet heart of a dog who had the misfortune to be born in the rural south where there are just too many dogs. He is one yr old, neutered a month ago, friendly with people and dogs, good in the car, good on leash. He was in a pen with Adriana and they are best of pals. He is around 65# and fully vetted. He will be available to be seen on or around 11/6/08. Indy is sweet and is a black lab...probably not full blooded, but looks lab. He loves hugs and will lick your face off if allowed! He is in with Adriana and gets along fine with her. She tries to get him to play and he just looks at her like "what are you doing?". He likes every person he's met. The guy at animal control really liked Indy and said he was a very good natured dog. The vet's office staff said the same thing. They commented that he could not get enough attention. Hopefully a stay at home or work from home for him, at least in the beginning until he adjusts. He was picked up as a stray. He did bark at the cat so would have to be tested before going with cats.

They are two Chihuahua mixes who were originally estimated to be about 8 years old, but our vet says no way as they have bright white teeth.

He is great with other dogs, seems to think he's a much larger breed, and is great with kids. He'll be a wonderful family dog. He is great on the leash and just loves to take walks.

Sprite, 7+ years Male Maltese  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adopted It’s amazing that this little boy, who only weighs about 5 pounds, survived being a stray in West Virginia, where he was found dirty, matted, and very thin. Once upon a time, he must have been someone’s little baby, he runs in circles if you ask him if he wants to go in the car, he sleeps snuggled on the bed with his foster mom and doesn’t get off the bed all night (if it’s chilly he’ll go under the covers). He goes to the office with his foster mom and likes to stay in her lap while she works. He’s very friendly with everyone he meets, likes other dogs although big dogs barking terrify him, he’s very interested in cats and would probably like to chase them but when a cat walked up to him he was the one to run away. He would be a great companion to a retiree (and if you’re a snowbird he would fit in a carrier under the airplane seat) or someone who would like to bring him to work. He hates being crated and will yap until he falls asleep. If you are looking for a devoted little companion to spoil, this is the boy for you. He is in a foster home on the New York/Massachusetts border and can be seen by private appointment. Last Modified: 12/13/2008 10:26:44 PM EST Printable Description

Sweetheart, 2 years old Female Golden / Pyrennes  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Sweetheart is a spayed female Golden/Pyr coming up from TN. Sweetheart is true to her name! She is one terrific dog. She looks like a golden in the face and her body is more of a pyr. She is gentle, great with people and other dogs. Don't know about cats. She was found wandering in a very rural area. Several people said they had seen her around that area for several days. A man took her in and put her on Craigslist "free to a good home" so our rescue contact grabbed her before she went to a give-away home and bounced around again. We got her spayed and up to date on vaccines and she is being brought to MA week of 11/4. She loves hugs, belly rubs and playing with other dogs. She can jump a fence, so needs to be watched. She is not a wanderer, but needs to never be left alone unsupervised in a fenced yard. She is good in the car, fine on a leash....but a little hesitant at times. I don't know how she is in the house for long periods, as most retrievers prefer to be with people all day. Everyone at the vet's office says she is one good dog! She never meets a stranger. She will be a wonderful addition to some lucky family! Last Modified: 11/29/2008 6:57:09 PM EST Printable Description
