Norman

Boston, MA

  Breed: Great Dane

  Weight: 130 lbs

  Age: 2 years old

  Gender: Male

Norman is our 6th dog. The prior 5 were all rescues and lived long, happy lives. All were city dogs - Chicago and Boston. Important for you to know that, as some folks question whether robust dogs can thrive in a city environment- we’ve been super successful at it. We’ve also fostered dogs as well. Norman is just a big bundle of fun!

Jumbo

Boston, MA

  Breed: Bernedoodle

  Weight: 40 lbs

  Age: 1 year old

  Gender: Male

Hi there! We are a couple in our early 30s living in Boston with our pup Jumbo! He is incredible sweet and friendly, and knows all basic commands. He lovessss other dogs so is best suited to spend time with a pup that is interested in playing and hanging out. He’s almost 1 so still has puppy energy when it comes to play dates. He is very chill and sleeps a lot otherwise, but if another dog is around he will want to hang out as much as possible with that dog. He is completely hypoallergenic as we have fur allergies and he doesn’t shed. Would love to make Jumbo some new friends !

Braxton

  Breed: Bulldog

  Weight: 50 lbs

  Age: 7 years old

  Gender: Male

Hi! Braxton is a 7 year old funny pup that loves all people! He likes all other dogs as well but occasionally they don’t like him! He’s very friendly and while at home sleeps most of the time, but he does tend to get excited and jump on new visitors. He is very playful and you would think he’s a puppy, but he’s getting a bit old! We would love to find people and pups for him to be friends with!
