Starlight, aka Star

Meet Starlight, aka our rising Star! Star was raised with a family for two years before she was surrendered to the shelter in SC with no name. They called her “dog,” so the shelter staff gave her a name. She weighs in just under 30 lbs, 2 years old, so she is fully grown. Star arrived in VT with a clean slate. Star’s foster Mom is teaching her some basic obedience which is building up her skill set and confidence. With consistent and confident coaching from her foster, Star is learning to be brave and check in with her people when she is feeling unsure in new situations. She has done well with public outings to Pet Food Warehouse and Lowes. She loves most every …

India

Sweet India! So social and friendly with people and other dogs, it's hard to understand why this beautiful Lab mix girl ended up a stray, along with her three 8-week old litter mates, and left to grow up in a shelter. India is now approximately 7 months old , 27 lbs, and is happily settling in her foster home while she waits to join the loving family she deserves. India’s foster Mom says that she is so sweet and affectionate, loves loves people and children. Due to her energy and playfulness, she does need to be reminded of her manners when she gets excited around small children and responds well to direction. India has good leash skills and would make a great walking and hiking …

Willa

Meet Willa, a playful and affectionate 10-12 month old black lab mix with a heart full of love and spunky personality! At just 35 pounds, Willa is on the smaller side, making her a nice, compact size for an active household where she will have opportunities to run, play, explore, and then settles nicely in the house for some couch time and a good movie. Willa loves playing with other dogs and joining in on pack walks, so she’d be a great fit for a home with a canine sibling. She’s also known for being exceptionally good off-leash and has a special love for water. While Willa is incredibly sweet and loves people, she can be nervous around younger children, so she would do best …

Scout

We have our lovely boy Scout available for adoption and ready to interview some families! Scout is a very handsome Golden Lab mix of just about a year old, and about 50 pounds.

Franny Bean

Let’s talk about Franny Bean! Our sweet, beautiful Hound girl is the total package! Great with all people, kids, and other dogs. In her former foster home she ignored the chickens and fox out back of the house. Franny is house trained when given regular potty breaks, crate trained, and at meal time will perform a little tap dance to ensure you know she’s ready and on her best behavior. Her foster Mom is working with her on basic obedience skills, recall, and loose leash walking. Franny would make a nice companion for another friendly dog or dogs in her new home. Franny is a wonderful, all-around companion dog as she will happily greet you when you come home and will be your listening ear …

Palmer

Meet Palmer! He is the last pup up for adoption from the litter of 6 found abandoned on the side of the road in Brookfield, VT. Palmer’s foster Mom says that he takes the smartest puppy award. He is super food motivated and a professional problem solver. All this combined makes him super trainable. He already has a wonderful foundation of skills under his paws….sit, down, go to bed (his crate), and loose leash walking. This medium energy boy loves his people, is good with kids, a bit shy with strangers but warms up quickly if you share some tasty treats. He’s all about a good time but does settle wonderfully, and enjoys a nice cuddle session. He is happy to entertain himself with a …

Percy

Percy has quite the story to tell! This boy has come a long way since he got loose after his owner passed away, was struck by a car, and finally captured the day after Thanksgiving last year. An amazing foster family took Percy in after being on the run for over two weeks, offering him a safe, quiet resting place, medical care, and lots of love and support throughout his recovery. He was scraped and bruised, and emaciated, needing 5-6 very small feedings a day to help him survive and regain weight. He was completely shut down. We learned that, in his former life, Percy was part of a sled dog operation and sadly lived life on a chain outside year-round, having very limited contact …
