So pleased that I have completed this fantastic course. It has certainly added to my toolkit when working with dogs that have aggression issues.

🐾 Meet Cooper! 🐾

Cooper is serious... serious about finding the perfect forever family! 🏡 This sweet American Staffordshire Terrier mix is 3 years old, weighs around 60 lbs, and is all about being your loyal companion. He’s happiest when he’s by your side, ready to do commands for treats, run free, and play tug. 🐶 Cooper thrives on physical exercise and mental stimulation—he’s highly intelligent and knows a plethora of commands, thanks to Chase K9 Services in Lincoln, RI.

Cooper’s adoption even includes two private training sessions in your home to ensure a smooth transition. 🌟 He’s great with other dogs but prefers a cat-free home and would do best with kids aged 12 and up. The basics? He’s housebroken and crate trained. 🏠 If you’re looking for a loving and loyal velcro dog, Cooper is your perfect match! 💙

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Cooper, please email [email protected]

Another scorching day! Please ensure to keep your dog safe in the heat of summer. Keep them hydrated, keep them indoors at the height of the day. Keep them safe 🐾🐾

PLEASE keep your dog(s) safe in the soaring temperatures we are having. Heat is VERY dangerous for dogs. Do not walk or jog with them at the height of the day. Walk them early in the morning or later in the evening. Keep them hydrated. Keep them safe 🐾🐾

Meet Guapo!
Guapo is an extremely handsome Chow with a laid back, loving attitude. Guessed to be about 3-years-old, Guapo is an easy going guy.
Guapo enjoys humans and doesn't mind the company of other dogs. He will likely prefer being the king of his castle though, not wanting to share his domain with other canines but fine to meet them out and about. What Guapo doesn't like is small animals and cats. He has a true Chow prey drive.

Meet Neo!

He is a young (1.5 year old) Jack Russell mix pup with lots of s***k. He is a bit of a puller, eager to move fast, but he’s manageable since he weighs 17 pounds. He loves attention, treats, and playing fetch. Once he is tuckered out, he’d be up for a cuddle or a snooze. Neo has a selective taste in the canine friend department, but with proper introductions, anything is possible. He would prefer no feline friends and would most enjoy the calmer energy of older children. If you are interested in meeting Neo, please come visit the shelter on Saturday from 10-2 or reach out to [email protected] Quincy Animal Shelter - MA

This. Girl. ❤️❤️
Beautiful, sweet Sophie has had very little interest. So, she had herself a photo shoot today, in the hopes that someone will see just how amazingly stunning she is, not only on the outside, but also on the inside.
Sophie is 4 years old. She found herself in a not so loving home situation, but thankfully was saved by a kind human, who has been caring for Sophie for the past few months

Reach out to The Boxer Rescue, Inc. if you are interested in adopting her or learning more
