Hi there! My name is Zeke, and I am a 5-month-old Golden Retriever mix with a heart full of joy and a wagging tail that never stops! My foster family says I am the ultimate happy-go-lucky boy. I am incredibly easygoing, which means I love to go with the flow, whether we are exploring the world or hanging out at home. I am a super smart puppy. I am very eager to please and absolutely love making you proud, especially when you tell me what a good boy I am! I learn new things super fast, which makes training a blast. Right now, I am working really hard on my potty training, and I am getting better every single day. When it comes to playtime, I am an expert! My absolute favorite things to do are chasing balls and sticks, playing with my canine friends, and I like to watch the birds fly around in my yard. I get along great with other dogs and kids, making me a perfect candidate for a fun, active family. I haven't met any cats yet, so that would be a new adventure for us to navigate together. After a busy day of playing and learning, there is nothing I love more than a good cuddle session. I will happily curl up right next to you to show you how affectionate I am. I am already neutered and fully up to date on all of my vaccines, so I am completely ready to find my forever family. Could that be you?

Paisley came into a pound in MS pregnant. All her puppies were weaned and adopted. Paisley was heartworm positive but she has been treated successfully and now she's ready to travel and find a family of her own. Paisley is crate trained, leash trained and appears to be potty trained. She loves puppies and gets along with other dogs.

Coco is a bit hesitant around new people but it only takes a treat or a few minutes, and then she warms up quickly and becomes a playful and affectionate companion who loves attention. She enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to explore her surroundings. Coco was taken from a hoarding situation in KY but it hasn't dimmed her sweet demeanor. She is pregnant and due near the end of October, so would be available for adoption after her puppies are weaned - just after Christmas.

If you're looking for a loyal and endearing companion who will bring joy to your life, Coco is the one for you!

Meet Petey. This very good boy came to us as an owner surrender because his owner experienced serious health issues, and he's relaxing in his foster home while he waits to be discovered by a second chance family.

Read more about Petey Clark

Petey is 12 years old, a rat terrier mix, and he's had the benefit of great care and socialization for his entire life. He's gentle, well mannered, great with other dogs, and he meets people well. Petey loves car rides, naps, treats, and getting affection, and he settles in nicely to new routines. He's pretty quiet and sedate most of the time, but there are two things to get him going – one is food! Petey has a hearty appetite and jumps around like a puppy when he knows he's going to get a treat or a meal. He's also crazy about balls! He loves to play with any type of ball and loves to play fetch, but he has not mastered the "bringing the ball back" concept but he will play all day with a ball.

He's a little hard of hearing, but otherwise very healthy for a dog his age! He's also neutered and entirely up-to-date with vaccinations and vet care. We're told that he's not a fan of cats and we're looking for a cat free home for him. He would also probably be happiest as an only pet because that's what he's used to. He's very submissive with other dogs, but does seem intimidated by the other dogs in his foster home even though they're much smaller than him. He doesn't cause any trouble or have any aggression, but it does seem that other dogs make him nervous, especially when they play together.

Petey is looking for a quiet home where he can relax and enjoy his golden years, and he's going to be a wonderful companion for someone who loves older dogs as much as we do.

Meet Knight. This senior boy has had the benefit of lots of love for his entire life but unfortunately, the family he was raised with had some changes and one of the resident dogs became highly aggressive to him. His former owner made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to rescue for his own safety, and we've brought him into foster care. He is a Boston/Pekingese mix, and an absolute, sweetheart! Knight is very well socialized and meets people well, he's great with other dogs, he is loving, affectionate and a really nice dog. We've gotten him to the vet to get him up-to-date on shots and have scheduled his neuter, and he's looking for a safe and loving retirement home.

Adopting a dog in Bristol County

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
