Jessie is our pet of the week. She is a 1-year-old female, black Labrador mix who is very sweet and would do well in a home as an only dog or paired with a more passive, laid-back canine roommate.

Spirit is a special dog. She is a brown Labrador/shepherd mix who was found wandering the streets and is now in a foster home. She is a practiced escape artist who needs a rural home with a lot of land or an otherwise escape-proof yard.
Jack is a sweet, brown terrier mix who survived the Mayflower tornado with a fractured pelvis. His physical injuries have healed, but he is still somewhat emotionally traumatized. He does not like crowds, so he can't go to adoption events. He is doing well in his loving foster home.
