  — Kylie C.

• “I’m a rescue from the streets of LA, maybe about 12 years old. I love the cool crisp weather of New England as much as I enjoy lounging in the sun. Squirrels are my arch nemesis so I need a fenced in area to fulfill my exercise and stimulation needs in a safe way.“

  — Eliza M.

• “I've been blind most of my life but have started losing my hearing in my old age. I'm pretty old and creaky, but it doesn't hold me back much. My mom's pretty protective, she doesn't want me overdoing it. I love love love water and humans, not super into other dogs, but I'm pretty tolerant.“

  — Nicole B.

• “Austin is a goofy boy! He may be full grown but he still has a puppy mentality. He enjoys attention especially butt scritches! His favorite activity is to walk and smell the perimeter of wherever he’s at. He’s interested in private parks just so he doesn’t get jealous of larger male dogs as he gets self conscious.“

  — Jenna B.

• “Very mild-mannered older adult dog who’s often described as “chill.” He’s likely got some Dutch shepherd and black lab. He likes all people big and small and is more a “people dog” than a “dog dog” and is very independent and intelligent. He isn’t mouthy at all and never chews on anything he isn’t supposed to. He has arthritis in one elbow so he’s a slow mover and never gets the zoomies or anything like that. Slow and steady for him.“

  — Keith Z.

• “Hi I'm Austin, and I'm my mom's best friend. Good thing I rescued her at that adoption event, because she and the cat would be totally lost without me! We like to do all kinds of fun stuff together, like hike, snuggle, eat organic blueberries, and pretty much just go everywhere together. I am not great with other dogs, but my mom and I train every day to work on it, and we are a super awesome team! My mom says I'm the king of snuggles and kisses, so if any people want to come say hi to me, they totally should!“

  — K. S.
