Meet Jelly Belly!

This sweet smushy meatball is a three year old English bulldog mix weighing in at about 50lbs. She's got short little legs, wrinkles for days, an underbite to DIE FOR, and one snaggle tooth that her lip is always getting stuck on. Basically, she's perfect.

Despite her chub and her wrinkles, this girl is pretty zoomy and high energy so don't expect a couch potato! She loves walks, loves chasing balls and throwing around plush toys, and loves jumping all over people to get attention. She's a sweet, slobbery princess that does like to mouth at hands; she's very gentle about it but it's still a habit that a potential adopter may want to be aware of. She walks decently on a leash and doesn't pull too much unless she REALLY wants to go investigate something and then good luck because the bulldog stubbornness comes out 🫑

We're looking for a home without cats for her because, while she may not be aggressive with them, she does seem like she would be one to chase them and that probably wouldn't be too fun for a cat. She does well with other dogs and likes to play and bounce around with them. We would prefer kids 10+ because she does like to jump up on people combined with the gentle nibbling and it might be too much for littles.

Jelly Belly has a face that is permanently concerned unless she's got her big, open mouth smile going on. You've heard of RBF but this girl just has...resting sad face? So be prepared to have her tug on your heartstrings every single day.

Look at these cuties! 😍

These five puppies will be available next week so get your applications in NOW as they will most likely go quickly!

They are island dogs from Puerto Rico so we're not sure what, exactly, they're mixed with though they do seem to be shepherd mixes. All of their paperwork says lab mix so mom most likely looked retriever-y. Dad might just have really strong genes.

Anticipate them to be about medium sized dogs.

They're about 4mo old right now and are already spayed/neutered and ready to go πŸ’•

Leni and Lia are both females and Loki, Lolo, and Luka are males.

You will need an approved application in order to meet them. They will do well in homes with other dogs, cats, and with kids.

To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application. Once complete, you can email it to us at [email protected] or fax it to us at 508-677-9175.

Meet Pepito!

Pepito is a whole 10lbs of sweet, shy, itty bitty terrier.

This scruffy sweetheart is about three years old so he's full grown at a whole entire 10.25lbs. He's definitely a shy, nervous guy at first and likes to inspect his surroundings before he gains enough confidence to inspect his visitors. Once he does warm up, though, he's a sweet, silly little thing with a goofy grin and SUCH a handsome beard!

Pepito is good with other dogs though he can be a little pushy and excitable. He would also do well with dog-savvy cats; he's curious but not overly obnoxious and in their faces. We are looking for a home with kids 12+ because he's so nervous and we don't want to overwhelm him with smaller children.

He's decent on a leash but could definitely use some training but because he's so small, it's much more manageable than if he were a bigger breed. He likes chasing balls and bapping them around with his paws but hasn't figured out what he's supposed to do with them yet.

Given some time and patience and some help building confidence, we know that Pepito is going to be an awesome little companion for the right person/people!

Meet Scooch!

Scooch is an absolute LOVE!

This boy is a four year old podengo mix weighing in at the absolute perfect size of 42lbs. He's not too small that you have to worry about losing him or stepping on him but he's not too big for him to yank you down the stairs or across your yard...not that he would anyway because he's a sweet, nervous, gentle soul.

Scooch came to us as a stray so unfortunately our information is limited. We do know that while he's been here, he's been an absolute delight. He's silly, he's goofy, he loves to play, and he does well with other dogs and cats. He can be a bit intimidated by other dogs at first, especially if they're bigger than him, but then all he wants to do is play!

He's smart as a whip and already knows a few cues and he's pretty good on a leash. He LOVES toys (as you can see) and can keep himself occupied for hours with a tennis ball. He isn't too wildly high energy but does of course get the zoomies and loves his walks. Kids 10+ preferred because, again, we have no history on this guy from before he came to us.

He's a shy guy at first but given a few minutes, he'll be all over you for attention!
