Scooby

Easy-going and friendly, but not quite ready to solve mysteries, Scooby is a 2 year old mixed breed who was surrendered to the shelter when his owner could no longer care for him.  Extremely motivated by Scooby-snacks, he knows basic commands and is fully housebroken.  Scooby may not be the smartest dog in the park, but he loves to please and certainly enjoys his walks.  Good with children, but not good with cats, he is also okay with some other dogs but is selective.  You don’t need to be a Shaggy to make this fella your best friend - and he 100% responds to the Scooby-Doo theme song, so get in some practice before you come and meet this cutie.

Lakota and Rolo

Lakota and Rolo, Batman & Robin, Rick & Morty, Timon & Pumba - whatever you want to call these two, know that together they are truly a dynamic duo!  Lakota is a 1 year old German Shepard Dog and Rolo is a 4-5 year old Husky/Shepard mix.  Found together in the woods of Mansfield, these two survived through a combination of wits and helpful humans who fed them.  Underweight and infested with ticks and worms when caught, these two have spent the last 6 weeks getting healthy and are now blossoming into two very beautiful boys.  Bonded through their trauma, we are looking for a home that can take them both.  They are very good with other dogs and very people friendly once they get to know you.  They do need a patient owner who is willing to allow them the time to get comfortable in their new surroundings and who will train them and provide the guidance and encouragement needed for them to be the best dogs they can be.  A fenced in yard is 100% a necessity for these two as they are still working on leash walking, and no children under the age of 10 due to their size.  If you are interested in meeting Lakota and Rolo, please reach out to our ACO, Francesca Maciejko at 508-261-7301, x5 to schedule an appointment.

Goose

We don’t know much about this cute fellow, other than he was brought to the shelter as a stray and never claimed.  Goose is approximately 1 year old and seems to be a lab mix, what he’s mixed with we just don’t know.  Goose loves walks and being around people but has not enjoyed the confinement of his kennel run.  It appears that he will never be a dog that will feel comfortable crated for any length of time.  While Goose knows some tricks, he needs help learning how to stay calm around new people (he just loves jumping on them and giving them kisses), and that barriers can be a good thing and are not something to be scared of.  Goose needs to be an only dog with a family willing to spend time training him on how to be the best dog ever!  Due to Goose’s size, we are looking for a home without small children (no one under 13 years old, please) and someone with experience in training a young dog.
