Just Won It Winners

Pups Needing Furever Homes

We are proud to partner with Paws New England, a non-profit organization that rescues abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs from high-kill shelters and desperate situations, to provide veterinary care, much needed TLC, and bring them to New England to find safe, loving homes.

Bean

Bean is the cutest 1 year old boy! Bean is learning how to be a puppy and is working very hard on his socialization skills. He loves to learn and will do anything for a treat! Bean is very fun loving and, energetic as most puppies are. He does well with dogs with a proper introduction. Bean is a little insecure and nervous with new surroundings but with a little patience he overcomes his fears. He is a great dog and just needs someone to call his own!

Chase

Chase is a 2-year-old golden mix who has the best smile! He has the sweetest disposition and loves other dogs. Chase is a bit shy at first so having a friendly canine sibling in the home would be best for him. He loves to play, run, and go for walks. Chase is not a couch potato so an active family would be beneficial for him. Unfortunately, he does get car sick so long car rides are not for for him. Chase is truly an amazing dog! Don’t wait to apply!

Cinna

Cinna is a 7 month of shepherd mix who was found during a cold rainy night. He is an absolute sweetheart and cannot wait to meet his forever family. Cinna loves to play and hang around with his people but also loves to lounge on the coach. He does well with other dogs but needs proper introductions due to his exuberant happy go lucky attitude. He has great house manners and walks well on a leash. Cinna can get nervous in loud or busy locations but is working on it and is making progress. This boy is going to make a great addition to most any family.

Cowboy

Cowboy is a 6 year old Labrador mix who is looking for his forever home. He was currently in a loving home but Cowboy no longer wants to share his home with another dog. He does well with other dogs but can be unpredictable when overstimulated. He needs an owner who can understand him and keep him on the calmer side when around other dogs. Cowboy is loving, affectionate, loves his people, and extremely smart. He is also extremely well behaved and obedient. Cowboy would thrive in a quieter home that can love him unconditionally!

Jake

Jake is a 5-year-old golden retriever mix who cannot wait to meet his forever family. Jake was found wandering the streets and visiting fast food restaurants where he would greet all the patrons. Unfortunately, someone shot Jake near his spine. Jake will need to have his bladder expressed a few times a day, but his injury does not hold him back. He loves everyone and enjoys his daily walks. He is very playful and is just a fun dog! Jake does well with female dogs but is cautious around male dogs. He is an absolutely amazing dog, please consider Jake as your new life companion.
