Meet Cisco! Cisco has many different meanings, short for San Francisco, an IT brand, a freshwater whitefish to a brewery on Nantucket. Our Cisco’s meaning is a very smart, loveable, handsome doodle. Cisco is extremely smart and loves a good game that will give him plenty of mental stimulation & challenge him! Requiring patience & strategy are a great way to attract his attention. Get ready and put on your walking shoes!!! Cisco loves the great outdoors & if water is involved, even more fun – he’ll be the first to get his feet wet. Cisco is known to use his voice when he is ready for a new game or looking for attention so be prepared to have a day planned with engaging games to keep this boys mind challenged. Like some of us, Cisco can have a hard time with change but has shown us with time & patience he can overcome his worries and be the bouncy, sweet boy he wants to be. Cisco is currently on behavioral meds which gives him the support he needs with new situations & his grooming needs. Cisco isn’t sure why the matted look isn’t desirable even though we tell him the “shaggy” look is out. Cisco would love a home where he can be the only doggo, a home with low foot traffic, adults, older children & potentially a dog savvy cat. He will need home that will allow him all the time he needs to settle in & one that will be aware when this goofy boy is uncomfortable. Cisco would love a home for the holidays!!!

Choco is one happy, silly boy!! He is about one and half years old and has made his way up here, from the south. Since there isn`t much background info for this good boy, adopters should puppy proof the home and have appropriate confinement spaces, to help Choco make good choices. He may benefit from joining a home with a playful helper dog to show him the ropes. Older kids that are comfortable with a bouncy boy and that will give him space at mealtimes may be a possibility. If you need a happy boy to bring some laughter and love to your family, Choco might be the one for you. If so, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

Dennis
Neutered Male
1 Year 7 Months
~30 Pounds

Looking for a goofball to brighten your day? A handsome low rider in your life? Dennis could be the dog for you! We don’t have much information about him before he came to us, but around here we know Dennis as a toy aficionado, lover of snacks, and the best cuddle buddy in the biz. Like any adolescent dog, he may sometimes be more puppy-like when excited, but has also been excellent at settling here at the shelter with some exercise and mental enrichment. He’ll need some puppy proofing in place to start while his adopter gets to know him, and some time to settle into the home (no big adventures to start!) so he can decompress from all of his recent transitions. He may do well with cats or dogs in the home with slow introductions, and should meet any young children in the home to make sure they’re okay with his goofiness and enthusiasm! Submit an inquiry to learn more about Dennis!

Libby is a sweet girl who is almost one and a half years old. She loves to play and show you all her favorite toys. Once she feels comfortable with you, Libby will let you know that she loves you forever. She would be happiest in a home with someone who is home more often than not. Her adopters should puppy proof their home and be ready to help
her fine tune her house training skills. Libby has a hard time deciding if she likes dogs or not, so at this time, she should be the only dog in the home. Dog parks and daycares are not appropriate for her. With appropriate introductions, she may be able to join a home with a dog savvy cat. Older kids that don`t mind a sometimes bouncy girl and will give her space when she enjoys her chewies, will be considered. This girl has a tender side that will tug at your heart strings, if she might be for you, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

This boy has won the hearts of shelter staff and volunteers! Maximus is 10 years old sweetheart that loves everyone he sees! He loves to play fetch and has the best leash manners. This very good boy has significant skin allergies and has been on special food and meds to help him feel much better. His adopters will need to continue with their own vet to keep this chronic condition under control. Maximus would love to live with someone who is home more often than not as he prefers not be alone too much. He will happily keep you company in whatever room you`re in, but don`t be surprised if you hear snoring soon after. He may be able to join a home with a well matched mellow, similar sized dog or a dog savvy cat. Older sturdier kids that will be respectful of his needs will be fine as he did well with kids in his previous home. If you`re looking for a new best friend that will be devoted to you, this guy is it. Please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

Meet Loretta! This specklely lady is as friendly as she is beautiful. One of her best skills is snuggling and trying to make herself a lap dog! Loretta makes a perfect little spoon and will even give you kisses if you let her. She is a pro at clearing all of the squirrels from her vicinity, so if you’re in need of squirrel patrol in your back yard this could be the girl for you. Unfortuantely, she’s currently taking a break from all of that running while she recovers from knee surgery. After a bit of R & R she’ll be right back at it. Loretta would prefer to be the only pet in her next home, but could do well with older kids. If you’d like to learn more about Loretta, submit an inquiry today!

Blu
Male Pit Bull
1.5 years old

Meet Blu! This hunk of burnin’ love is looking for his next lap to sit on (he WILL try despite his size!). Blu exudes happiness – his tail is always wagging and is mouth is nearly permanently fixed into a big happy smile. Blu’s idea of the perfect date involves leaning his giant body against you while getting a neck massage and the occasional snack. While he can sometimes become a little rowdy when excited, he is a quick learner and a gentle giant – with a guidance and a little patience, he’ll be the best dog he can be! We think Blu could be successful with kids who are comfortable with a large, sometimes pushy dog, and can participate in his training. He may be able to live with another dog that can tolerate a younger dog who is still learning. Blu has no history with cats. If you’re interested in learning more about Blu, please submit an adoption inquiry!

Meet Lilly! This little peanut is a sensitive girl who is looking for a patient home to help her settle in. Lilly has been very nervous in new situations and when meeting new people (and uses her voice to let you know!), so we think she will do best in a quiet home with someone who has the time to let her come out of her shell at her own pace. Once she does, you’ll have a little lap dog for life! Lilly has lived with another dog and could live with another polite dog friend, perhaps a dog-friendly cat, and older kids who have good shy dog skills. If you’d like to learn more about Lilly, submit an inquiry today!

This beautiful girl is ready to finally be a loving member of a family and experience living indoors! Phaedra is 8 years old and was initially very worried, when first arriving at the shelter. Giving her some time to settle in, has allowed her sweet personality to start to shine. She is enjoying learning how to walk on leash, thinks training treats are fabulous and enjoys some good snooze time. Her adopters should expect that transitioning to a home will likely cause her to worry again. Phaedra will need plenty of time to become acquainted and comfortable with household members before being expected to slowly expand her world. More than likely this good girl will not be a social butterfly, but she will absolutely be devoted to her family. She may be able to live with a dog savvy cat, but wants to be the only dog in the home. Older kids that will be consistently respectful of her needs, will be considered. If you think that you`d love to give this deserving girl a loving home, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

Hermes is a delightful, 3 year old guy. He is one happy hound, loving everyone he meets. Hermes loves pets, walks and snuggles. He`s also an energetic boy, so he will need plenty of physical exercise and mental enrichment, like food puzzles, to keep him healthy and happy. Hermes came to the shelter via transport from the south, without much background info, which means adopters should puppy proof the home while he settles in. Having a safe containment area while he learns the ropes for house training along with a consistent schedule and lots of patience, will be the key to success. He may be able to join a home with a well matched dog buddy that will be a good role model, but will not be a candidate for dog parks/daycare. Or he may be able to live with a dog savvy cat, with proper management. Older kids that are comfortable with a large dog and who will give him space when needed, will be considered.

Handsome Rusty is a clever boy that`s enjoying working on his best manners, which he finds especially fun because yummy treats are involved. Although Rusty may enjoy a well matched walking buddy, he will need to be the only dog in an adult only home. He is of course, full of enthusiasm for life and will enjoy regular physical exercise as well as fun mental enrichment like food puzzles. With well managed introductions, Rusty can potentially live with a dog savvy cat.

Meet Sophie! If you can’t tell by her ear to ear grin, she is a pretty happy girl. Despite an unthinkable start in life, Sophie continues to amaze and inspire us with her “up for anything” attitude and a joyful exuberence that she starts every day with. Some of her favorite things include saying hi to every person she meets, playing fetch with her best friends, and going for a ride in the car. Sophie loves to swim, she loves to nap, and she loves to eat. She is such a special girl and we can’t wait to see her in a home of her very own with the loving family she deserves.

Because of Sophie’s history – which we will be happy to tell you more about – Sophie will require a home with a family committed to providing the specific behavior support she will need going forward. She’s looking for an adult only home with no other pets. If you’d like to learn more about Sophie, submit an inquiry today!

This handsome young boy is just a year old and can`t wait to get his new life started. Saint was quite worried when he arrived at the shelter, but now he`s happy to show off his silly self. This clever boy is enjoying learning with positive based training and his adopters should be committed to only using this method, going forward. Saint will be a great hiking buddy as long walks are a favorite activity of his. Although he`s been a little uncertain meeting dogs at the shelter, he may be able to live with a well matched dog, but he declines the company of felines. Older, calm teens that won`t overwhelm this sensitive boy, will be considered. If you are interested in meeting Saint, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

Meet Reggie! This string bean is currently quite thin and sporting a funny hair cut because he came into our care in need of a lot of TLC. Reggie lived a quiet, fairly isolated life before we met him, and can be a bit worried about new people or new places as a result. We’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Reggie while we assessed his medical needs over the past few weeks – we are happy to report that aside from needing to pack on some pounds, he has a clean bill of health, and once he gets to know you, he is such a love! He loves to gently share his toys with you and lean in for some good bum scritches.

Reggie can be a bit worried about other dogs, but may be successful with a confident role model dog friend. He might also do well with a dog savvy cat, and older kids with great shy dog skills. If you’re interested in continue supporting Reggie on his road to recovery, submit an inquiry today!

Meet Daphne: wherever she is, she’s just happy to be there! This hound dog is ready for action – as a bouncy, wiggly pup who thinks the world is her jungle gym, she’s sure to make you laugh. When she’s had her fill of exercise and mental enrichment, she’d be glad to cuddle up right up on top of you (personal boundaries, what are those??). Since we don’t know much about her before she came to us, she’s looking for an adopter who will take the time to get to know her before going on any big adventures. Once she’s comfortable, she seems like a good candidate for all kinds of adventures due to her zest for all things active. Like any young pup, she is still working on fine-tuning her manners and would benefit from continued training. Daphne could likely live with another dog, and potentially a dog-savvy cat. Submit an inquiry for Daphne today!

Say hello to Donner! This dapper young man is a fun-loving, handsome pup with a dose of socially-awkward teenager – he’ll confidently frollick with toys, settle with a chewy, and train like pro in environments he’s familiar with, but might become more fearful in new environments. With a little encouragement from his friends, he’s learning how to be braver all the time! Donner has a positive history living with kids, and has really enjoyed dogs with slower introductions (like parallel walks first!) – if introductions move too fast, he may bark or avoid them at first. Like any young pup, he would benefit from continued training and enrichment. Interested in meeting Donner? Submit and inquiry today!

This lovely lady thinks every person she meets is her new best friend. Princess is 2 years old and loves her squeaky toys almost as much as she loves people. She definitely has plenty of young dog energy, but this good girl also enjoys her snooze time in a comfy bed. Princess would do best in a less dog populated neighborhood as she can be rather vocal when she sees other canines, a behavior that her adopters can certainly work with. Like most royalty, she does not want to share the spotlight, so Princess should be the only pet in the home. Sturdy kids that are 10 years and older, that don`t mind a sometimes bouncy girl and can consistently respect her need for space while she enjoys her food/treats, will be considered.

Meet Leo! This short little man loves his walks and cuddles once he is comfortable. He is looking for a home with only adults, where people can read his body language to know when he’s uncomfortable, and to give him space accordingly. Once he gets to know you (which doesn’t take long) he’s a lap dog and loves to snuggle on his people. Big changes can be hard for Leo, so his adopters should plan on giving him plenty of time to transition to his new home, on his own terms. Once he’s settled in though, he loves to rest his head on his person! A lower traffic home, in a quieter neighborhood can help make him more comfortable.Leo needs to be the only dog in the home, but could potentially live with a dog-savvy cat, pending a slow introduction.

This little guy is a sweet, happy, playful pup that loves attention! Right now, Tyson is working very hard at learning the appropriate way to ask for the attention he craves and his adopters will need to continue this with rewards based training. His new home should be puppy proofed, including a quiet area for him to relax, before he arrives, to ensure he can make good choices and settle nicely, right from the start. As with all puppies, a consistent schedule with lots of patience is the key to success for house training. Tyson has not yet learned how to hit the `off` button when playing with other dogs, so at this time he needs to be the only dog in the home and is not a candidate for daycare or dog parks. He may be okay to live with a very dog savvy cat, but this will require extra management. Older kids who can consistently help with Tyson`s training and can stay calm, when Tyson gets too excited, will be considered. This adorable little guy has a bit of a to do list, but with patience and love, he will mature into a loving companion that will complete your family.
