Rehoming Needs!
Kiwi
Kiwi is a 6 yr old spayed female, beautiful brindle Lab/Hound mix.
Kiwi is affectionate, sensitive, and loves to be close to her people. She loves tennis balls, squeaky toys, playing in the water, car rides, and most of all, snuggling on the couch. She is always wagging her tail and is just the happiest girl, always wanting to show her endless affection. She is truly a special dog and full of personality.
She's very smart and loyal, she's had a lot of professional training and worked with behavior specialists.
Kiwi may do best as the only dog. She gets along with some dogs but other times get triggered and it's been hard to figure out what the triggers are because it's rare and random.
We would love to find Kiwi an affectionate and patient family who enjoys having fun outside and then snuggles on the couch or in bed for a movie.
We are helping her current owner find a new home for her so our typical adoption fee doesn't apply. If interested, please fill out our adoption application and we will have her owner get in touch with you directly. There will be a rehoming contract.
~Rosco~
Rosco has been patiently waiting, since summer for a gentle, safe, loving home. He was found tied to a tree in the middle of the woods in rural Vermont! His finders took him in but unfortunately can't keep him. He has been neutered and is a very sweet boy.
Learn more about Rosco here.
*Trigger warning, at times there may stories, pictures, and videos of dogs we've rescued that were emaciated, abused, and living in deplorable conditions. These details may be extremely upsetting.

~Cooper~
Cooper, 10 months old, neutered male, looks like a black lab, is one of Ameera's puppies. He has grown the biggest of all his siblings.
He is the smartest boy and listens very well.
He is a snuggle bug and loves his toys and bones. He is very friendly and would do well with children and learning boundaries.
~Charlotte~
Charlotte is one of Ameera's daughters, she looks like a chocolate lab with beautiful greenish-amber eyes.
She loves tug-of-war and fetch! Like the others, when she is done playing, she is a cuddle bug! She loves to lay right on top of her siblings or her mama.
Charlotte was very good at our outing event at a gym in Burlington, this past spring, she was happy to meet people and absolutely loved the 2–3-year-old little girl she met! Everyone wanted to take her home, how she is still with us is crazy. She always has a bone in her mouth, always carrying it everywhere with her. Very friendly and loveable she will be a loyal family and give you all the kisses and snuggles you could ask for.
Max
Max aka "Handsome" is a neutered male, terrier-lab mix.
Max arrived to us with his adorable sister in February and despite a lot of interest he is still with us in November.
Max has 1,000% stolen my heart, and I often say many of our rescues are my favorite, but I am absolutely attached to Max, and it will be a hard day when he finds his forever home.
He is SUCH a lover. He always has to snuggle when he sleeps, mostly with his fur-mate Carley, it's adorable. He LOVES his toys, especially the red & blue one in the photo.
He has a very silly, unique personality, He is so very smart and learns really quickly. He does great on a leash (best by himself) and is great at jogging alongside you, and looks to you for direction. He is treat motivated which can help get his attention as he gets very excited at times and can't focus.
He does not beg; he patiently waits for his meals and treats. He doesn't jump on you when you get home, he grabs his toy and waits to get his attention.
Max does well with children and loved playing fetch with a teenager one day who was here with his family adopting a different pup. It was the one time he really played fetch; I try to get him to, but he just plays with his toys independently, so something about that teen enticed him to play fetch.
He stays around when he goes out of the fence off leash, he doesn't run off and comes right back to me.
Max deserves a special home that is gentle and patient. As mentioned, he can get a little excited and acts a little crazy. He has some alpha aggression with the bigger male we have as all of our dogs live together, not kenneled, but since being neutered and some training collar work, Max has been doing perfectly the past few weeks!
~Carley~
ADOPTION PENDING
Carley was born at the beginning of August 2024 and has been spayed. She is one of the most well-behaved puppies we've ever had. She just goes with the flow, doesn't mind car rides, is very friendly with all other dogs, people and children. She loves to play with the other pups but is also happy to just chill and chew a bone by herself. She doesn't try to steal the other dog's treats/bones, like almost all our other dogs do. She is just a really gentle and respectful girl.
She loves to lay outside and go for walks; she does good on a leash and always listens well. She loves to keep an eye out of the property and be a good protector of her home and family. Her fur is so soft and bit thick. She is a great cuddler, reaching out to touch you, almost pet you, put her leg/paw on you. It's so sweet.
All saved from euthanasia on Sept. 14, 2024!
Two mamas and 15 puppies total rescued and rehomed!
