Meet Luna! A Beautiful Australian Shepherd Looking for Her Forever Home!Say hello to Luna, a gorgeous 2-year-old purebred Australian Shepherd with so much love to give! This beautiful girl is searching for a patient, understanding family who will give her the opportunity to feel safe, build trust, and show off her wonderful personality!We want to be upfront about one important thing with Luna. She can be reactive when meeting new people. New faces and unfamiliar situations can make her nervous, and she may initially react out of fear or uncertainty. Because of this, Luna needs slow, controlled introductions and someone who understands the importance of giving her a little space and time to adjust.The good news? After just a few minutes, once Luna realizes you're a friend, she typically settles down and warms up! And once she knows you, she's a completely different dog! Luna is fun-loving, playful, affectionate, and full of personality.

Small Dogs: Does well with small dogs Large Dogs: No large dogs, please Children: Older, respectful children who understand boundaries and can give her space when needed Ideal Home: A patient, understanding family with a yard or an active lifestyle that includes regular walks and exercise Luna isn't a dog who will necessarily run up and greet everyone with a wagging tail right away, and that's okay! She needs a family who understands that her initial reaction doesn't define who she truly is.Once Luna feels comfortable, you'll see just how sweet, silly, and loving this beautiful girl can be.

23. Miss Foxy
Adult (2 years 11 months) · Female · Hound / American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 25 mi from Nashua




Meet Miss Foxy! This 3-year old toffee-colored brindle beauty came to us from local animal control after being found as a stray, having recently had puppies. We are scratching our heads as to how this unapologetically awesome mama pup was wandering alone because she is freaking amazing! Mamas are known to be nurturers, and Miss Foxy is no exception. And while she was a perfect guest at animal control, she was starting to get antsy and was ready to leave kennel life behind.
Read more about Miss Foxy
Fast forward to now…we busted her out of the clink on Valentine’s Day, so she has been in our rescue at her foster home for months without a single inquiry and we can’t figure out why. She is uber dog-friendly (though says “no thanks” to cats), playful and communicative, incredibly loyal and loving, and gorgeous! Miss Foxy’s foster mom boards dogs in her home, so she has been exposed to dozens of canine friends, big and small in her time with us. She has been terrific with her frequently changing houseguests after a proper introduction, even sharing her toys and bones without incident. So, we can say with confidence…her dog friendliness is super solid! Foxy Brown is such a character, that even without another dog, can entertain herself for hours. She will throw her toys up in the air, then pounce on them. She loves to steal your seat if you get up to go to the bathroom. She lets you know when it is mealtime, or when she needs to go out, and has never had a single accident in the house. And she is THE BEST CO-PILOT we have ever met…patiently sitting and watching the world go by without even a peep. Seriously, you will constantly be checking to make sure she is still in the car.
Sweet Foxy was recently out on a walk, and her human had a medical event and collapsed. She woke up to Foxy standing over her with concern, even though there were bunnies and squirrels that were oh-so-interesting to her just moments before. She curls up like a cat by your head in bed and is a super affectionate dog who loves to be close. And Foxy is a foxy lady! She is absolutely stunning and pictures don’t do her justice! She has the softest amber eyes, and a velvety brindle coat that has undertones of caramel, toffee, and milk chocolate wrapped into one swirl of foxy goodness. With her lanky build, gangly legs, and unreal sense of smell, we assume this beauty is part hound. Plott hound? Treeing Tennesse Brindle? Your guess is as good as ours!
Foxy has been enjoying the safety and predictability of her foster home, and above all else, she loves to be part of the action. She loves, loves, loves raspberries and now is a constant pool of drool every time her human picks them. Though she will gladly accept blueberries, celery, or carrots, or, well, just about anything edible. She is quirky and goofy and fun-loving, and is eager to settle into her forever home, where she will make a welcome addition to a lucky adopter! Because of a lack of history, older or no kids would be best for this lovey dovey.
Miss Foxy’s top 3 priorities:
1. A family who wants a wonderful companion dog and is looking to add a valuable member of the family.
2. A family who is ready to show love and wants a pup to be part of their daily life, including car rides, walks, and sooo many snuggles.
3. A family ready to show Foxy that she will never be alone again!

Jeremy is a 2-year-old pit bull who is, quite simply, an absolute love. This sweet, affectionate boy adores people and gets along great with other dogs. He loves to play and have fun, but he also settles down beautifully when playtime is over, making him the perfect mix of playful pup and cuddle buddy.
Jeremy would do well with children, too! Because he can be an enthusiastic guy, we recommend kids who are sturdy on their feet and ready for all that Jeremy love.
Bonus: Jeremy is crate trained!
This happy, social, loving boy is ready to trade rescue life for a family of his very own.

Read more about Felix
Fall is in the air, and Felix is ready to be your ultimate pumpkin-spice sidekick! This handsome 3-year-old Rottie made the road trip up from Georgia and is fully prepared to leap into your pile of leaves (and your heart). His foster parent reports that he is a certified "good boy" and an absolute doll who just wants to cuddle. [1]
Felix is already fully house-trained and a total pro in his crate. Now, let’s talk about his true passion: snacks. Felix is insanely food-motivated. He will do absolutely anything for a treat—which means you can easily train him to do tricks, or just use biscuits to negotiate his help pulling you down the street (he's a strong boy who likes to work those leash muscles!).{C}
Friends and Family:
When it comes to other dogs, Felix is a total lady's man! He absolutely loves his canine girlfriends and prefers his four-legged companions to be female. He has also met some human kids and was wonderful and gentle with them. However, if your home includes a feline friend, Felix is going to have to pass. He thinks cats are a little too exciting, so a cat-free castle is a must.
If you are looking for a big, goofy cuddle bug to keep you warm this autumn, Felix is your guy!

Why adopt an adult dog in Nashua
An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.
Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
