The following dogs will incur medical expenses that will far exceed their adoption fees. Some have dental needs, delicate spay operations for older female dogs, and mammary tumors that need to be removed. Please help us to give these dogs the proper care before they are put up for adoption. Thanks in advance!

Lacey Lacey is an adorable multicolored, medium-sized dog who is give or take a year or two. She was rescued on 11/1 with her two week old pups. The pups are weaned now and so it's her turn. She is recently spayed. She is in a foster home and doing great. Her foster mom is crazy about her. She says she is a perfect dog, very sweet and gentle. Lacey loves to play with her 4 legged foster sister. She is calm in the house and entertains herself well with a toy. Lacey is housebroken and is good in her crate at night. She likes to chase balls, brings them back and make dog friends in a play group she goes to regularly! She is a delightful dog who will be great in a family! We can all imgine Lacey in her home lounging on her dog bed being a great addition to a home. She is a gentle, loving and kind sole who has the most magnificent eyes! Her pictures do not so her justice. Sponsors: Mary Dillon Kristine Schroeder Katherine Pomponi Jane Weir

We incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit in 1999 and we were the first dog rescue group in the Boston Metrowest area to bring in dogs from states that have an over-population problem. We use foster homes so that we can better evaluate the dog's personalities. We temperament test the dogs and we try to make the best match for applicant and dog. We developed a health and temperament protocol and quarantined our dogs long before it was it was state-mandated.

What sets us apart from all the dog rescue groups who have recently sprung up? We are not about rescuing puppies to make a quick buck. We will not turn down special needs dogs and we'll spend whatever it costs to save dogs who are truly in need. If we are going to bring in dogs from out of state, we choose a mix of adult dogs slated for euthanasia as well as adolescent dogs who were abandoned when they outgrew their cuteness. We love working with people who want to "save a dog" as opposed to people who just want a cute puppy. We believe in educating our adoption community and will send you home with extensive instructions on how to care for your new dog or pup as well as recommendations for health and training. We have you sign an adoption contract that ensures the dog will never again end up in a shelter. We spay and neuter the dogs prior to placement. Our dogs are up to date on vaccinations, but we don't over-vaccinate as we know that this can lead to immune deficiency problems and we will educate you about that. We use holistic care and homeopathy as our primary medical protocol. We use positive reinforcement training for our dogs and we require that you obedience train your dog using positive methods. We work with a select few out-of-state shelters who we trust to give us healthy dogs that are friendly and adoptable. We have a good relationship with these shelters and we help them out with donations for their special needs and hardship cases.

If you would like to meet our rescued dogs, please fill out an application or come to one of our local Meet and Greet events, listed on the Events page. Also, if you fill out an application, you can make a private appointment to see the dogs. Filling out an application is the best way to express your interest as the dogs require our undivided attention during the day, hence we tend to read emails after the dogs go to bed.
