Teddy Bear, is a mellow guy, approximately 5 years old. An American Staffordshire Terrier, he looks tough, but is loveable and trusting, in spite of the fact that someone, definitely not a vet, cut off the tops of his ears. He came to his foster family via a shelter where he was a staff favorite. Found as a stray, Teddy was lonely and stressed in a kennel. Teddy knows the commands "sit", "lie down", and "come". He is house trained and very rarely barks. Instead he communicates with soft whimpers and whines. Teddy deserves to have his trust in humans rewarded with a loving forever home. His sloppy kisses and gentle loyalty will reflect his gratitude. Teddy was adopted on December 3rd 2004! |

Honey is a nine pound purebred apricot toy poodle. She is an energetic and sweet spayed female. Honey was used as a breeding dog for much of her life and never got the attention this tiny girl deserved. Honey lost the vision in her right eye from neglect. This impairment does not seem to impact her activity. She gets along with large and small dogs. She will chase cats if they run, but if they do not run, she will avoid them. Honey was adopted in November 2004!

He loves to go exploring on walks and to settle down near his people. He's good in the car and with the dogs he's met. He was found as a stray and would be so happy to have a permanent home with a loving owner. Nicky was adopted in November 2004!

Jazz is a 12-week old female black lab mix puppy. She is small, with white markings on her feet and chest. She is UTD on vaccinations and spayed. Jazz is currently being fostered in a home with young children and two other adult dogs. She is a bright, energetic and curious puppy. She is crate trained and just about housebroken. She would be well suited with an owner who can provide her with a lot of attention, exercise and companionship. She’s still a baby so she won’t thrive if left alone for any length of time. Jazz went to her forever home in October 2004! |

Misty is a 6 yr. old medium sized Shiba Inu / Shepherd mix. She is a lovely, gentle, undemanding dog who is fully housebroken and knows commands such as sit & stay, down, leave-it, speak, come, paw, fetch and high 5's. Misty loves car rides, walks, hikes, chasing squirrels and swimming. She is not a barker and has good house manners--will leave the room when asked, doesn’t climb on furniture, doesn’t beg from the table, etc. She is a little shy when she first meets someone but quickly warms up and wants only to be in the same room as her person. She is fine with other dogs. Misty needs to lose some weight and is now on a strict diet and regular exercise program. Misty went to her forever home in Brookline in October 2004! | ||

Dakota is still doing some puppy chewing so she is crated when her caretaker is not home. She will do best with an owner who can continue her obedience training and give her lots of exercise! Dakota was adopted in October 2004!

Skippy is a terrific, young male mixed breed, around 15 pounds, who loves to play with other dogs. He is somewhat shy initially, but warms up quickly to new people. He is great in the car, and great off leash. He loves long walks on the beach, challenging hikes, and morning cuddles in bed. Because of his size and protectiveness around his food, we would like this handsome fellow to go to a home without young children. He will be a great dog for anyone interested in a happy and fun companion. Skippy was adopted in September 2004!

Hannah is a gentle, intelligent, responsive dog in a strong body. She is a two year old American Staffordshire Terrier, abandoned and wandering the city streets when she was rescued. She was taken to the Alliance for Animals shelter in South Boston where she quickly charmed everyone. Hannah became their clinic mascot, greeting all visitors both animal and human. She is sweet and playful with everyone, although timid with overly rough dogs. Hannah is too gentle for a home with a rough, agressive dog. She would get along fine with another gentle dog and with older children. Hannah is adopted! | ||

Lucy is a sweet and mellow 8 year old Yellow Lab that was surrendered by an owner who felt Lucy’s life was too lonely. She will turn 9 the end of August. Lucy lived with the same family all her life but due to a set of unfortunate circumstances, she spent most of her days in an open crate in the family playroom/basement. Lucy is easy going with children, adults, dogs and cats. Her greatest joy is to chase after a tennis ball – she brings it back every time for it to be thrown again. She also loves the water where she will retrieve balls with ease. When she runs she has great stamina and a long stride – physically she is in top shape. This is a gem of a dog whose only wish is for love and affirmation. Lucy went to her forever home in September 2004 where she is being spoiled rotten as she deserves!

Billy is about 4 years old, good with other dogs, housetrained, crate trained, and a real sweety. He was a stray in a local town, infested with fleas and starving. The only thing he had in his stomach was fur from chewing himself. The caring Animal Control Officer treated him for fleas and fed him several times a day to build up his strength. She called us because he is such a good boy. Billy was adopted on 7/30/04! |

Dana is a 2 year old yellow lab/rhodesian ridgeback mix. She has a typical lab head, but more of a hound body and reddish coloring, She doesn't have a ridge, and is lab sized - she weighs about 60 pounds. Her owners were in financial hardship and offered her for free in a local paper, so our rescue group took her in. She’s neither aggressive nor timid, needy or stand-offish. She’s playful, fun-loving, and active outside, but able to rest quietly inside; although she can romp wildly with other dogs, she is polite and gentle in her interaction with people. She asks for things—attention, food, to get on the couch—rather than suffering in silence, but she doesn’t demand anything. Dana was adopted on 7/22/04!

He knows sit and is learning down and stay. He is very people oriented and will follow you around the house just to be close. There are no signs of being fearful of people or animals - not hand shy, doesn't cringe at loud noises such as the vacuum cleaner. He is house broken and does great in a crate. Marley was adopted on 6/24/04! | ||

Mabel was found on a busy street in the city of Boston. Though we feel she is best described as a Sheltie Mix, due to her small size, she may have some Retriever or Border Collie in her also. She weighs 25 to 30 pounds. She has a beautiful, thick honey colored coat. She loves to go inside her crate at times just to get some peace and quiet. Overall, she has a calm and assured manner and wants to just fit in with whatever you are doing. She enjoys running in her fenced in yard and could make a wonderful agility dog or be a good partner for a runner in the household. Mabel was adopted in June 2004!

Nomar (Dogiaparra) is a 7 month old Boxer / mix... Speculation is Lab or Hound of some sort. He chases, and is chased, until he drops with exhaustion. He wants to be with humans as much as he can and has proven to be good with puppies, cats and kids! His story is that he was a stray, brought to a shelter by a couple who found him but couldn't keep him in their apartment. He was skinny and starved for affection. The shelter staff recognized what a sweetheart he is and called on rescue groups to save him from being put down when his 10 days at the shelter were up. ADR stepped in and he stole our hearts. This is a dog whose photo should be in the dictionary next to the word loyal. Nomar was adopted on 6/12/04! |

Sara, Female Cattle Dog, 9 Years This delightful, friendly, Cattle Dog loves people. She is playful and respectfully animated which belies her age of about 9 years. She loves to be petted, cuddled and scratched. This girl is an alpha but she gets along well with many dogs, all of whom are her size or smaller. Big dogs do intimidate her and she counters her fear by donning her "I'm tough" facade. She lived with and is good with kids. Sara was adopted on in March 2004! |
