We require a $225 non-refundable adoption fee for puppies. All puppies have first vaccinations and are wormed. We have an
early spay/neuter program so in most cases all puppies are spayed or neutered before going home. Puppies require a great deal
of amount of our time; we take great care in socializing puppies including exposing them to people and adult dogs. We ask
that all puppies attend “puppy kindergarten ”to continue their socialization process. A home visit may be required.
Occasionally
there are extenuating circumstances and we must let a dog or puppy go home before the dog is spay or neutered. In this
case we ask for a refundable $100 spay/neuter deposit that is refundable at the time of the dog’s surgery. |

A big thank you to Claudia and Michael for taking Fritz for the night and giving us great information and
pictures. Fritz has found a wonderful home.
Fritz was found in a dumpster in the city,
and our good friends (who brought us Ernie) in municipal sheltering felt he needed some socialization before being adopted
out, so they asked us to take him. Fritz looks like a Norfolk terrier mix, he is less than four pounds at about eight weeks
old.
Puppies! The boys ....Biff, & Rascal DOB
5/1/08 |
These pups are Labrador/Hound mixes on their mom's
side, dad is unknown. Mom is about sixty pounds, we think these pups will be at least that big. Becuase of the brindle, they
could be Plott Hound, Boxer, Pit Bull, Greyhound, or a mix of just about anything.
We require these pups be taken
to obedience class.
Rascal is definitely a rascal which is why we gave him the name, he has very long legs
and is very energetic, some of the other pups are a bit on the shy side, not him, and we are working on socializing the others.
Because puppies need a great deal of socialization and care, we are looking for a home where someone is around
for most of the day that will devote this precious time to their new pup.
The first few weeks you spend with your new puppy are the most important in the socialization
process.The socialization process continues after puppyhood as well. Until the dog is a year old, it's important to make
a conscious effort to expose the dog to new things. Take him out for walks, car trips, or even to work. Invite guests over
and teach your dog how to greet people politely.
Take him to puppy class where he can learn how to be around other
dogs and people in a civilized manner. Dogs that aren't socialized during their first year often become shy and afraid
of new experiences. So it's important to take the time to involve your new puppy in as many activities as you can. Having
a well-socialized dog is better for the dog as well as the owner. We want all of our dogs to live happily ever after in their
forever home.
If you would like to give one of these handsome boys his forever home, please fill out our online
application. Thank you.

ADOPTED! Hazel ~ Greyhound, Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix (but check back because we sent out her DNA for breed identification).
|
Hazel is being fostered in Cambridge, MA by a Central Rescue volunteer. You can contact her at rosemary@centralrescue.org for more information about Hazel. Hazel is a young girl with a lot of love and a lot of energy to share with
you. She just turned one year old in February. We think she is a Catahoula Leopard Dog – Greyhound mix but check back
because we are sending out her doggie DNA for breed identification. Hazel has grown into a sweet young girl in her foster home. She lives with 4 other dogs and has
become one of the pack. She adores her foster sister Daisy, and they play for hours on end. Hazel requires daily exercise
to burn off her energy. She does well at the dog park and will play fetch with a tennis ball until your arm falls off. After she is well exercised she would love nothing more than to curl up in your
lap. Yes, she is a lanky 50 lbs but that doesn’t stop her. She is very affectionate and we call her the Velcro Dog because
she sticks to your side. Hazel has had
her share of adventures. She has rollerbladed around the Charles River. She has gone hiking in trails outside of the city.
She has been running up and down ski slopes during her weekend trips to Maine. And, so that she masters her leash walking,
her trainer walks her with other dogs on leash daily. Hazel
has been around respectful children and returns their hugs with kisses. She adapts well to new surroundings. She really is
still a pup; a very lovable one. With a lot of daily exercise, more than just leash walks, she will be a happy girl and a
wonderful addition to your family.
Hazel has not been tested with cats. |
