Dexter, 12 weeks Male Beagle   Click on picture to enlarge Available On: 7/18/17 Apply To Adopt Dexter is a 3 month old Beagle pup whose owner could no longer care for him. Please be someone who is experienced and has time for a puppy! We like to see applications from stay-at-home, part-time, or flexible workers so the puppy isn't left in a crate all day. Teens and up for this pup. Please apply at saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp and we will contact you. Dexter is a very confident and fearless puppy, full of fun and energy. He is being fostered with three dogs, two adult males and an adolescent female. He learned very quickly to limit his antics with the two males, but plays endlessly with the female. He loves everyone and everything. He has joined the other dogs for short walks on leash and has taken to it like a professional. He has encountered cars, bicycles and chickens and is naturally inquisitive, but not afraid. He is very motivated by food and toys, so we have been working on basic commands 'sit' and 'down'. He will be fun to train as he is a quick learner. He sleeps through the night in a crate/X-pen set up and has kept it clean but not always dry. He loves running and chasing the other dogs in the fenced in yard and will scratch at the slider to ask to go out." Last Modified: 7/22/2017 1:52:15 PM EST Printable Description

Snoopy, 6 years Male Maltese Click on picture to enlarge Apply To Adopt Snoopy is a 6 year old Maltese who has been with one owner his entire life. He was given up because she works long hours and does not have time for him anymore. He has a few issues and could use an adopter who has taken a small dog through obedience training and beyond. He needs someone patient who will go slow with him and let him acclimate to the environment on his terms. He can be reactive to new people and a little ankle nipper if you move too fast when he doesn't know you. He is a little guy, about 10 or 11 lbs and can be frightened in new situations. He was very pampered and spoiled in his home and would love to continue to be someone's little Prince, but he needs proper socialization and training. He is in a foster home so can be seen by private appointment after we receive your application. No children as he was not raised with them. He is afraid of big dogs, but might be okay with a gentle dog or another small dog, female preferred. Also, his owner was a female, but she lived with her parents. All members of the family should be very dog savvy and have lived with small nervous dogs before. Eventually he will be a cuddle bunny but not for the first few days. He needs someone who will go slow with him and be patient. Last Modified: 7/20/2017 4:23:21 PM EST Printable Description

Shandee, 7-9 years Female Golden Retriever  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Available On: 7/8/17 Apply To Adopt Hello there, I am Shandee! I weigh 47 pounds and have a lot of spunk for my age. Even with all that spunk I am still easy to walk on leash. I also know my basic commands like sit and come. I have recently been in a foster home so I am house trained and know what is expected of me in a home. I was found all on my own wandering the streets of Georgia. I am here now in MA ready to find my "furever" home. If you believe you're the person for me please fill out and online application at saveadog.org so you can come meet me!

I also know basic commands like sit and lay down. I am a very happy guy. I would do best in a home with teens and up because I am so large. I would also do best with a no dog family or a family with calm dogs. I am friendly but I get very excited when I see other dogs. I love to go for walks, play ball and then cool off in the water. Even though I do like to play I am still a big cuddle bug who just wants some love. If you think you can give me the love I deserve please fill out an online application so you can meet me!

Jake, 2 years Male Spaniel  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Available On: 7/18/17 Apply To Adopt Jake is a 2-year-old neutered Spaniel who has a soft bonding personality, but needs an experienced adopter as he can be very anxious in new situations. He has a lot of pluses. He is dog, cat, and people social, and very tuned in to everything in his surroundings. He's house trained and is not a marker. When Jake first came to live in his foster home he had some anxiety issues such as whining and trying to get out of the door to be with his foster mom. He was clingy but this only lasted for a week or so and once he felt comfortable he settled right in and did very well when left alone. It would be best if Jake's new family could get him into a routine right away so that he doesn't develop separation anxiety. He is a wonderful and handsome little dog worthy of a forever loving family. Available after 7/17. Please apply online before emailing. Last Modified: 7/20/2017 4:12:07 PM EST Printable Description

Gulliver, 2 years Male Corgi Click on picture to enlarge Available On: 6/11/17 Apply To Adopt Hi there, I'm Gulliver! I'm a neutered male Corgi who is two years old and 30 adorable pounds. I was adopted briefly but I was needy for attention and didn't want to share my space with their other dog, so I'd like to be an only dog please! Don't worry, I'm happy to meet other dogs on the street. I was going to be euthanized by the county shelter because I was afraid to have a collar or harness on me, so Save a Dog saved me and is working to train me. I would best like a fenced in yard, at least until I walk better on leash. Please apply for me online since I'm staying in a foster home!

Alyza, 5 years Female Pitbull Terrier  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Apply To Adopt Hi there, my name is Alyza and I'm a 5 year old spayed friendly girl. I am gentle with babies, toddlers, and dogs. I lived with five children at one time, from infants to eight years old. My family used to prop the baby on me as a pillow. I share my space and my bed readily with other dogs. I grew up with a small dog and am being fostered with 3 other dogs. If you think you can adopt me, I will be your best friend for life! I know sit, stay, and paw and I understand just about everything you tell me. I'm obsessed with tennis balls, but I also destroy them so sometimes you have to hide them from me. I'm house trained. I sleep in my crate at night and I don't chew anything in your house during the day. I can get excited, but I also know how to "chill". I weigh around 50 lbs. Nothing makes me happier than being with my people and chewing on a bone or a tennis ball. Please apply online at http://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp so that I can meet you. Since I am in a foster home, please call to arrange to meet me after we get your application.

Lyle is currently in a foster home and improving every day. He has lots of playmates there that teach him how to interact with people and gain confidence. A requirement we have for Lyle is a securely fenced in yard (physical, not electric).

Schooner, 3 years Male Retriever  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Adoption Pending Schooner is a approx. 3 year old Retriever mix and a very special dog with the most soulful eyes. He has a calm, quiet soul, and he enjoys long walks and being around water. Schooner would love to be a travelling dog as he absolutely adores riding in the car and is the perfect passenger. He is excellent in the house. The only vice he has ever displayed is he does not like his feet touched and needs some reassurance during his vet visits. The foster mom feels like he would be best in a home with mature people that will have ample time to spend with him. His foster Mom adores him and could never say enough good about him. He deserves the most special home where he can hang out with his people. He will never disappoint you.

Sunshine, 7 years Female Long-haired Chihuahua  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adoption Pending This Sunshine will definitely make you happy when skies are gray! Timid at first, Sunshine warms up quickly and will become your Velcro dog within a day. She loves to snuggle with her person and will follow them anywhere. She is also content to lay in her bed or chase squirrels in the yard. Due to her delicate size, she would be best suited to an adult or teen and up home. She would be the ideal dog for an older stay-at-home person looking for unwavering adoration and companionship. She got along well with the two other dogs and one cat in her foster home, but her happiness lies with her people interactions, so she would flourish as an only dog. As she came in as a stray and has not been fostered long, we don’t know much about her housebreaking habits. She seems to get the outside thing, but may need some time to get into a routine like most dogs in a new environment. If you have always wanted the perfect pocket dog, apply today! Sunshine is a 7 year old long-haired chihuahua mix, weighing about 5lbs - yes, just 5 lbs! Sunshine loves to be held and cuddled. When you're not around to love her, she's happy to rest on a cozy bed or blanket and watch the day go by. She is spayed. A stay-at-home adult (no kids) would be best, or teens and up. Applications, not email inquiries, will receive a response. Please apply at http://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp and pls read the requirements.
