Meet Dewey!

This handsome dude is ready to fill your life with adventure and love! Dewey has the sweetest face that says I'm all yours.

If your looking for an outgoing companion that loves going places, hiking, running, going for walks and meeting new people look no further! And when the adventures are over Dewey is happy to chill and enjoys lap time. He is in a foster home with multiple other dogs and doing well. He would love to have another canine companion or regular playdates with dogs.

He is a great house guest and is house trained, he will ring a bell to let you know he needs to go out! He can be left alone for 4-6 hours in a confined space and is non-destructive. He has been around kids of all ages and has done well.

We strongly recommend that all our dogs attend obedience classes because you get to learn skills together, and it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the dog.

We are still learning how Dewey does with cats and children and Dewey, like all puppies, is still in process of leash learning. He is in foster with 3 other dogs and is doing great!

Dewey 's Story: Dewey was found and rescued from a pond by his foster.

We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
