Rocky Schnauzer & Maltese Mix Medfield, MA

We know all of you have big hearts and this is the month where miracles happen for shelter animals. When animal people look into their hearts and decide they can help those pets that otherwise would not find a home.
Here is Rocky, an 11-year-old Schnauzer mix that can't understand how this could have happened, left by his family when they moved. His devotion was so strong that he keeps waiting for them to come back, running up to senior visitors to check their faces to look into their eyes and see if they have come back for him.
This handsome, 12 lb., white, mostly Schnauzer appears to have more of a hair vs. a fur coat. He was super in the bathtub for a clean up when he arrived and he doesn't mind being brushed. Rocky loves the car. He wants to be your only dog.

We are hoping for a similar situation for him with an older person or couple since he has never lived with children. He is choosy about his canine companions and may need to be an only dog.
Rocky walks well on the leash and happily rides in the car. He is miserable in his kennel since he really likes to be with people, so he needs an owner that is around a lot.

We give priority to people that fill out our adoption application, so if you are interested in meeting one of our dogs, that is the first step. E-mail inquiries about a dog are not considered an application.

If a dog is listed on our website, that means that dog is still available for adoption. The Shelter is staffed primarily by volunteers so adoption meetings take place on Saturdays from 11 - 1:00 during adoption hours, or by appointment. Our dog adoption fee for dogs 5 years old or younger is $350. Every dog we place is given age-appropriate vaccines, wormed, treated for ticks/fleas, tested for heartworm and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. We send each dog home with a collar and leash and a month's worth of heartworm preventative. If a dog is listed on our website, they are still available for adoption. Please fill out the adoption application if you would like to be considered for a dog you see in our care.

With very few exceptions, dogs are happiest and the most well-behaved when they receive daily exercise and ongoing training, so we always prefer to place our dogs with families who are willing to make a commitment to both.
