STILL AVAILABLE!!
Daisy was dumped on Christmas Eve last year in 2025 and has been overlooked every single day since and we don't understand why. She is a ball of energy ready to play and be active but like many of our dogs she too does not play well with others. She has the drive in her to chase cats and is jumpy so we would say no kids, no cats, no other dogs to be safe.
Despite these things she is still so deserving of a forever home and a better life than being dumped on Christmas Eve.
She too looks "aggressive" because of her body build but that is not the case. She is a love and just wants to play and be the pup she never got the chance to be.

Not able to adopt? Please share this post to find her forever home❤️

STILL AVAILABLE!!
Buddy has been with us since September 2025 that's 9 whole months and we can't understand why. He looks like an "aggressive" dog by nature because of his stance and muscle build but he is truly the biggest teddy bear at heart. Our volunteers love playing fetch with him he can go for hours on end chasing a ball or his Kong.
He just needs the right person who respects his dog aggression and understands he is not a dog park king of guy but more a play fetch at home with his humans instead and that's ok!!

Not able to adopt? Please share this post let's get Buddy a home finally💙

Buddy🩵
Pit/bully mix
He is about 4-5 years old, recently neutered and UTD on all vaccines.
He is NOT a fan of other dogs at all no questions asked it's not situational he just is very dog reactive. He needs to be the only animal in the home no cats for him!
We would say no kids for him as well as he gets carried away during playing ball that if a child tries to take his ball he will get upset and he's quick!! If he drops the ball to play you better be like lightning to pick it up fast or he will fake you out and take off with it again!!
He looks mean because of all the muscle he is but he is genuinely a big teddy bear!!

Just a friendly reminder-
We are NOT a licensed wildlife rehabbing facility.

Please refrain from dropping off or bringing in wildlife. We often scramble to find rehabbers when these poor animals get dumped on us we do not have the appropriate supplies on hand or capability to take on wild life and the rehabbers are exhausted and at max capacity right now.

We highly recommend using the MA.gov website to reference what to do when you find wildlife often times they do not need human intervention but if they are injured you can easily search up the closest rehabber in the area who is able to help or give guidance on what to do. If available we are more than happy and willing to help with transport but that is again something we offer out of the kindness of our hearts it may not always be available or possible depending on other emergencies we have going on.

Also thank a rehabber if you know one or ever come across one, they do major work and often do not get noticed or thanked for everything they do but we certainly love and appreciate all rehabbers for all that they do!!
