Zeke

Meet Zeke! Zeke is a sweet 2 year old rat terrier who is currently 22 lbs (don't tell him, but he should probably slim down a bit).

Zeke is a quick learner-- he already knows sit and down and is working on come. Like most terriers, he can have his own ideas about things, and he's energetic and loves to chase the squirrels and rabbits in the back yard. He's an active boy who likes to play tug with his sock toy and gets very excited for walks. He will be happiest with active exercise every day.

Rufus

Do you like big mutts with huge smiles? If so, I am your man! Weighing in at 85 lbs of love I am the largest lap dog you could ever hope to meet. Yep, you read that right! I just love to sit in my foster dad's lap. It was love at first sight for me.

At just 3 years old, I am in doggie adolescence. Like all adolescents I need patience and consistent training to mature into the awesome dog I am destined to be.

Sadie

My name is Sadie and I am about 5 years old. I’m a 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 do OK with dog saavy cats and I’m ok with other dogs that live in my foster home. 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 would benefit from a quiet home with an experienced owner.

Summer

My name is Summer, and I'm a sweet, energetic one year old mixed breed (pittie? lab? kelpie? it's a mystery!) who loves people. I weigh in at a handy 35 lbs. You may have noticed my magnificent ears! They're very beautiful, aren't they?

Butterbean

I'm Butterbean, an adorable young, neutered male chihuahua mix with a contagious smile. I am 2 years old and a pipsqueak. I only weigh 9 lbs.

Butterbean loves the ladies but is not so fond of men or children. Butterbean has been traumatized in his past so he's afraid of men and teenage boys. He needs a home with an experienced, patient woman who understands that this little guy needs time to settle in and feel secure. He's an affectionate boy when he accepts you. He likes other dogs so a dog buddy would be great. He loves to go for a walk and gets excited when he sees the leash. Playing fetch is his favorite game but he's not so good at giving up the ball! Butterbean sleeps quietly in his crate at night. Up to date on all his shots, negative for heart worm and Lyme and micro-chipped too.

Tyke

Tyke is a gorgeous, long-haired, gray and white girl, about 8 years old. Understandably a little disoriented after her owner passed away, Tyke is a shy, gentle girl who'll come around with a little time and TLC.

Sully

Sully is a gentle sweethearted male cat who was abandoned and left on the street in West Boylston by his owner. This outgoing black and white short-haired boy can't wait to get out and explore, loves attention, and can say "Hello" -- sometimes when you're not looking and then wind up wondering where the greeting came from.

Cindy

Cindy is a young adult cat who was is being fostered in Cambridge, MA. While she is initially shy of new people, once she warms up and trusts her people, she is a total love.

Cindy also loves attention, treats, and other cats; her foster brother has really helped her to come out of her shell even more, and we believe she would do best in a home with a friendly resident cat who can show her the ropes. Cindy is very playful and once she is comfortable, she wants nothing more than to run around and play with a cat friend.

Douglas

Meet Douglas -- a friendly 5 year old black and white furball. He's lanky with very distinct markings and loves to lounge upside down. This sweet, chatty boy enjoys pets but a slow introduction can be a good idea on the first date. Do you have room in your heart and home for this winsome charmer?
