Ace of Hearts is hiring! He’s a low maintenance boss - super chill and just requires you walk with him and feed him and pet him and tell him he’s a good boy. In all seriousness, Ace would really love to find a home to call his own so please email [email protected] with any questions about him! Check out his bio on the Adoptable Dogs page of our website to learn more about him!!

You do NOT need to own your own home, live in a single family home, or have a yard or fence to adopt or foster with us! Ace of Hearts is in our foster-to-adopt program so is available to residents of Massachusetts.

Ace is an adorable pup who adores snuggling, playing tug of war, and hanging out with his humans! Anyone who meets him falls head over heels for this gentle and silly little goofball.
He gets along well with many dogs, especially older and calmer ones who can match his mellow energy level, and he has a blast at daycare with his furry friends. Ace is already house-trained and is currently working on crate training - he's a total champ at overnight crating and is actively making progress with daytime crating.
A perfect day for Ace starts with a nice walk (where he loves to say hello to new people with a friendly howl!), and then he spends the rest of the day chilling on the couch with his chew toys and his family. He's highly motivated by food and will do just about anything for a tasty treat, so further training should be a piece of cake. He also thrives on routine, so having a schedule will help him settle into his new environment.
Ace is the ultimate companion animal - he feels much more confident and comfortable when he's around his humans so he has some separation anxiety, which is slowly improving in his foster home! Because of this, he would do best with a family that is home more often than not. Additionally, he tends to be vocal when anxious (and even when he's happy and excited - this chatty boy loves to say hello!). Ace is best suited for a single-family home.
Ace is a fantastic dog who is eagerly waiting to meet his forever family!

Meet Audie Murphy! 🐾

This gentle, sweet-natured pup is all about giving affection, soaking up love, and being a loyal companion. Audie is a medium-energy, dog-loving guy who has come such a long way since leaving shelter life behind.

Audie is fully house trained and crate trained like a total pro. He loves having his crate as his safe space and is a great walking buddy in familiar spots. He gets along wonderfully with other pups (and likely cats too!), and he’s obsessed with squeaky stuffed toys, deer antlers, and tasty chews! 🧸🦴

While Audie can be a little reserved when first meeting new people, once he knows he’s safe, his sweet personality really shines. He’s ready to bring quiet companionship, loyalty, and so much love to a patient, loving home.

Please check out his full bio on the “Adoptable Dogs” page of our website and submit an adoption application (if you haven’t already)!

Reminder: You do NOT need to own your own home, live in a single-family home, or have a yard or fence to adopt or foster with us! Residents of Massachusetts can foster with us, and residents of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Vermont can adopt with us.

Audie Murphy is a sweet, gentle, and submissive little guy. He craves positive attention and affection. He has a medium energy level with bursts of higher energy. His ideal home would be a patient one to allow him to learn to trust humans at his own pace.
Audie enjoys being in a home with other happy dogs, but slow intros with new dogs help him gain confidence. He loves stuffed squeaky toys, deer antlers and chews, and especially regular meals and a clean crate to call his safe space. Audie would be good with older, dog-savvy kids since he can be shy at first and prefers a calmer environment. He has seen outdoor cats and showed no interest, so he would likely coexist with a feline sibling.
Audie is both crate and house-trained and is used to being in his crate when home alone. He walks well on a leash in familiar surroundings, but might hang back in new places.
Audie has come a long way since leaving shelter life behind him. He would love a new family to make him feel safe, and he will give so much love in return! Could your family be the perfect match?

Meet Shanelle! This sweet, adaptable girl with soulful eyes and a heart of gold is guaranteed to steal your heart! 💖

Shanelle is a fun, mid-energy pup who loves her play sessions, cuddles, and spending time with her favorite humans. She is just as happy running around the yard with her canine best friends as she is relaxing nearby for a cozy nap after playtime is done.

This gentle lady is wonderfully friendly and personable with everyone she meets. She gets along great with other dogs, would love to have a doggy sibling in her forever home, and would likely be the perfect best friend to kids of any age. While she may take a quick minute to sniff and warm up when meeting new strangers, her sweet, loving nature shines through right away.

Shanelle is both crate trained and house trained, making her an easy addition to any household! She settles right away in her crate, happily sleeping through the workday or overnight, and is looking forward to continuing to perfect her leash skills on daily walks with her new family.

All this easygoing, devoted girl needs now is a loving home where she can get just as much love as she gives. Could Shanelle be the one you've been looking for?

Please check out her full bio on the “Adoptable Dogs” page of our website and submit an adoption application (if you haven’t already)!

Buster is a handsome, happy-go-lucky young dog who is smart, affectionate and eager-to-please. He is a medium energy pup who enjoys his daily walks and playing fetch (his favorite game ever).

Buster absolutely loves everyone he meets, the word stranger is not in his vocabulary. Everyone is a just a new friend he hasn’t met yet. He is fostered in a multi dog home and enjoys romping with his doggy friends, but is also happy to entertain himself. He’ll adapt to any environment. Buster has met dog savvy cats and coexisted nicely. He is a sweet boy who doesn’t always remember his size and would do best in a home with children who are thirteen or older.

Buster is fully house and crate trained. He is crated overnight and throughout the work day in his foster home. He loves his mid day walks to break up the day. Buster is looking for a family who will shower him with love and affection and continue providing him with structure and routine to help him be his best self. Is this goofy boy the one for you?

KitKat is a happy-go-lucky puppy who loves making new friends. Whether he’s playing with kids, romping around with other dogs, or exploring the backyard, he’s always ready for fun.

This handsome boy is almost completely house and crate trained and is doing an amazing job learning the ropes. KitKat is doing wonderfully with a consistent schedule of potty breaks and will only continue to excel with patience, consistency, and time. He sometimes whines for a minute or two when he goes in his crate, but then he settles down and will even sleep through the night! KitKat is still building his confidence with leash walking, but he loves to be out exploring the world. He’s eager to learn, which will make continued training fun and rewarding.

KitKat is ready to bond with his forever family and grow into the perfect companion. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with a heart as sweet as his name, KitKat Sweets is waiting to meet you!
