Baby

Do you ever coo at a human baby and call them puppy? Coo at a puppy and call them baby? Then Baby is the perfect dog for you! Baby is an incredibly docile and sweet senior pittie girl looking for a warm spot to ring in the new decade with. Baby is 12 years young, 68 pounds, very short and stubby. She loves car rides so will be happy to accompany you on errands - and school pick up! Baby has lived with children and would be happy to continue doing so.

Baby loves to play with other dogs, big and small. Indoors, she'd rather just trot around, so she doesn't bother with the other dogs in her foster home. When they're outside together, Baby play bows and romps around. While initially Baby wanted to play with the kitties in her foster home, just two days later she's fine with them, doesn't give them more than a sniff and they're fine with her. Any home with cats will, of course, need to closely monitor introductions in the acclimation period.

Tobey

These giant ears belong to Tobey! Tobey is a 3-year-old male chihuahua who is ready for his forever home! Tobey is about 20lbs, which is much too large for his little frame! His new owners will need to get him on a diet and exercise program quickly. This shouldn't be hard as Tobey LOVES being outside running around, hanging out with other dogs, and just being active in general.

Tobey is full housebroken, but may mark in a new space. He loves to wander around while outside sniffing everything he can and marking it. He walks really well on a leash and is very easy to control. He can move pretty quickly for a big guy, so he will keep you on your toes.

Sadie

My name is Sadie and I am about 5 years old. I’m a 55 lb pittie mix (I think!) and really want to be your new best friend. I’m up to date on all my vaccinations, including heart worm and flea/tick and I’m already spayed.

I love to play and I have so much energy and really want to be on the trails, out running, or going on adventures! The couch might be my new favorite place when I'm in the house though! I’m okay with the other dogs that live in my foster home.

Handsome Jackson

This handsome old man is Jackson. Handsome Jackson is a 12 year old toy poodle who weighs 12 pounds. He is house trained and really mellow overall. He absolutely loves to lounge around the house on any couch, lap, or bed he can. He loves to be in the same room with his people-- he doesn't like to be left alone and will bark a bit if he doesn't know where you are. He would be a sweet companion for someone who is home a lot.

Buddy

Small, dark, handsome furball loves attention and lets you know it. Serious lovebug potential here.

Buddy is a sweet, trusting, friendly 15 year old with a soft black coat and fluffy tail whose owner has gone into a nursing home. Buddy loves to get out and explore and and isn't shy about making himself at home. The 18 hours or so of daily beauty sleep must really be doing the job because this boy DOES NOT look his age.

Izzy

Izzy is a two year old silver/gray domestic long hair beauty who was recently surrendered due to some behavioral concerns. Izzy is very lovable and confident in a familiar environment but tends to startle easily and may react defensively. She is currently being cared for in a foster home where she is learning to loosen up and not behave possessively over her caretakers.

When Izzy is comfortable, she loves to play and follow you around everywhere. She enjoys pets and brushes on her own terms unless treats are involved and she isn’t very fond of being picked up. Occasional face and ear scratches are her favorite, never her paws or belly. She loves climbing her cat tree and lounging on comfortable surfaces. Izzy also has a great habit of cleanliness. She maintains her shiny long coat in pristine condition and keeps her litter box tidy.

Keira

This sweetheart tuxedo girl is about 3 years old and was found as a stray in Brockton. While she can be shy at first, Keira warms up quickly, looooves pets, and likes to give head bunts (more commonly called butts or bumps). Cats use head bunts to show affection but also to transfer their scent and bond with others in their community.

Keira also has an impressive elevator butt. Not familiar with this fancy technical term? Just scritch the right spot, then watch her butt go up.

Othello

Othello is very curious about his surroundings and loves to spend his days exploring, keeping himself clean, enjoying the view from a sunny window and playing with his toys. He is a little nervous with new humans at first but warms up over a short period of time. Eventually he sits on laps and is quite the love bug.

Othello is approximately 1 year old. He was found as a stray with a severe wound on his neck and shoulder. He has made a great recovery over the last few months and is now living the happy indoor life he was meant to have.

Boos

My name is Boos. I'm a 14 year old tuxedo cat, and I'm truly a little gentleman! I love to accompany my people around the house. Wherever you are, that's where I want to be!

I love to be petted, picked up and cuddled, and relax on the couch next to my people. I have a wonderful, loud purr... You can even hear me in the next room!

My last owner gave me up because they traveled for work a lot, leaving me by myself most days. I LOVE people, so I was very lonely! My 'purrfect' home would be with someone I can spend lots of time with. I haven't lived with any cat siblings before, but I'd probably be OK if we're properly introduced.
