A 501(C)3 Non-Profit Organization Serving New England

Who’s looking for a giant, droopy jowl face, love muffin?  We got your guy right here!
Buca is in foster and we had hoped that he’d be able to live with another boxer but he’s got some resource guarding going on (with the dog only) and it’s not going to be a successful forever situation for him.
So we are seeking a forever home where he will be an only dog and get all the attention. Buca’s a great dog, full of so much energy, and so smart.
His foster dad has been working on crate training with him and he’s making progress. The key is to exhaust this small horse and then he seeks out the comfort of his crate to catch some zzzzz’s.
Buca’s getting lots of hikes with his fosters. He’d make an epic hiking partner and thanks to his size, he’d probably scare off any wildlife you encounter. He walks well on leash, is totally housebroken, and sleeps soundly all night.
We are looking to place Buca in a home that’s willing to take him to some positive based training classes, as he’s so eager to learn. He needs active humans. Couch taters need not apply. Looking to Forest Gump your way across America? Buca’s up for it!  He does have some separation anxiety so a work from home situation would be ideal or someone who isn’t gone all day. He does do much better when he’s tuckered out. Buca is pure love, and oozing so much potential. We are sad that his foster situation isn’t going to be forever. But we tried. And now we know. He could make a great playdate pup..  just not a live with a pup, pup. 
OTHER DOGS? Play dates could be ok. But he needs to be an only.
CATS?  No
KIDS? Has lived with kids. Sturdy children ok, as he’s a baby rhino.
FENCED IN YARD WOULD BE MOST IDEAL but a crap ton of exercise in the form of walks/hikes is even more important

Rocky is available for adoption in MA RI CT and NH. He’s around 9-10 years old. No one knows for sure when his birthday is. His previous owners didn’t seem to care much about him at all. He spent his days, alone. He had no toys. No one gave him attention. He didn’t go for walks or car rides. He just existed. When we took him into rescue, he got in the car and never ever looked back. He knew he had been saved.

Rocky’s life of isolation and little to no socialization, shaped who he is today. He’s not quick to trust strangers. He doesn’t want random peeps running up to him screaming about how freaking adorable his ears are. He just wants to be the center of someone’s world. He wants to go for a few long walks every day, toss some toys around, and then snuggle up with whatever human decided that he’s worth it.

Rocky is a dog who will need to be managed. Whoever adopts this gem needs to accept that he’s not a dog who is going into Petco or into crowds of people. It doesn’t make him a bad dog. He’s communicating what his comfort zone is. He’s asking for that to be respected and accepted. Rocky is pure love, and he has proven that to his foster mom and dad. They earned his trust by listening to him. He knows he’s safe with them.

Rocky is so deserving of a forever home that is willing to love him. He’s made so much progress, brought so much joy, and has shown how resilient dogs are. He didn’t ask for a crap life before rescue.

We’d love to see Rocky find a committed forever home. One who gets that there will be an adjustment period and bumps along the road as he builds up that trust with his new humans. He needs humans who love to snuggle, who have comfy couches, lots of toys, and most importantly, who love to walk! It’s his favorite pastime and you’re sure to get whipped into bikini shape with this dude by your side. Rocky needs a family or human who wants a companion. Someone who doesn’t care if he doesn’t love crowds of people, parties, and hoopla. He just wants his besties by his side. Rocky is a good boy when left alone, but we aren’t looking to place him in a home where he’s alone all day. He’s been there, done that, and gives it 2 flying nun ears, way down.

OTHER DOGS? Nope.. he’s a solo boy. But he’s been great about passing other dogs on his walks so YEAH Rocky!

CATS? No

KIDS? No.. kids = hustle and bustle. He’s anti that nonsense.

MEDICAL - Rocky has recovered from his neuter and has all his vaccines.

** PENDING ADOPTION **

Foster or foster to adopt home needed!

We are trying like heck to find this boy his new beginning. Rip is almost 2 years old and is being surrendered due to serious fighting with his female litter mate. The dogs are living separately within the same house, and the stress and anxiety level is through the roof for both humans and dogs.

This mush face needs a new start to his life so he can learn how to be a dog outside of his littermate’s shadow. He’s a bundle of nerves. So much so, that his humans took him to a behaviorist who prescribed Prozac. We’d love to see Rip gain some confidence and be able to wean off the meds.

He would do best in a home where his humans are around during the day. It’s what he’s accustomed to, and he really is going to need the guidance of a special someone to hold his paw as he starts this new chapter. He needs someone who can show him all the great things this works has to offer and how much fun it is to be a boxer without the worry of a fight breaking out. Rip will need patience, kindness,

structure, consistency, and a whole lotta love.

When our volunteer met Rip, he was initially very weary of her. But she brought her chill vibe into his world and soon they were besties. Once Rip was outside of the environment that causes him stress, he relaxed a little.

We cannot wait to see Rip’s troubles melt away. He’s carrying a lot of worry on his boxer shoulders. This boy is going to shine in the right home.

If you’d like to be Rip’s angel, apply!

OTHER DOGS? No

KIDS? No.. they make him nervous and bring chaos to the table (no offense kiddos). Rip needs zen in his life.

CATS? No
