Timon is a sweet senior ball of cuteness. He is a neutered male who looks like he may be part Maltese. Timon is an independent fellow who is selective on when and where he wants to be touched. He likes being around people but is not a cuddler and does not like to be picked up. Timon should be in an adult only home since he can be a little mouthy and is selective on who touches him.

He is a special little dog with some special needs looking for his forever family who will appreciate his quirky personality.
If you are looking for a small dog with some big attitude and who can be bossy at times give us a call to meet Timon. Please call the office at 413-676-9182 if you want more information about Timon.

Meet Onyx – A Shining Star Ready for Her Forever Home! 💫 🌟

Onyx is a beautiful 6-year-old Black Labrador mix with a heart as big as her smile. She’s active, affectionate, and always ready for a walk, a game of fetch, or just some one-on-one cuddle time on the couch.

This sweet girl is looking for a home where she can be your one and only pet. Onyx truly shines when she has her people all to herself—she bonds deeply and will be your loyal companion through thick and thin.

She’s house-trained, knows her manners, and brings that classic Lab joy to everything she does. Whether you’re heading outside for an adventure or staying in for a quiet evening, Onyx will be right by your side.

If you’re ready to welcome a loving, devoted dog into your life, Onyx is ready to meet you. Come fall in love with her today!
