UPDATE: We have the most heartwarming news to share today! Our precious girl Reba, who captured so many of your hearts, has officially found her furever home.

👑💔 Reba AKA "Little Baby Princess" 💔👑

Imagine being only a puppy...

Imagine being deaf...

Imagine being tossed away like you didn't matter.

At just approximately 10 months old, Reba's story could have ended before it ever really began. She was found abandoned in a box, covered in her own f***s, sitting on top of a car. No comfort. No family. No one coming back for her.

And yet somehow...

Reba decided to love anyway.

This tiny French Bulldog with the enormous personality has never met a person she didn't adore. Men? Obsessed. Women? Her best friends. Kids? Absolutely. Other dogs? Bring them on. Reba doesn't just like people—she LOVES them with every ounce of her little body.

Despite everything she has been through, she greets the world with excitement, happiness, and enough enthusiasm to power a small city.

Now, because Reba is still a puppy, she's still learning her manners. She can get a little mouthy when she's excited and occasionally likes to nibble fingers as a way of saying, "PLEASE LOVE ME RIGHT NOW!" But she's eager to learn and thrives on attention and positive guidance.

Reba also enjoys short walks, lots of snuggles, and being the center of attention—which, let's be honest, she believes is her birthright as a princess.

What breaks our hearts isn't what happened to Reba.

It's knowing that after everything she survived, she still waits every day for someone to choose her.

Someone abandoned her.

Someone put her in a box.

Someone left her behind.

Now we're looking for the person who will spend the rest of her life proving that not everyone leaves.

If you're looking for a dog who will love you with her whole heart, make you laugh daily, and remind you what resilience looks like, then Little Baby Princess Reba is waiting.

👑 Her crown is ready.

She just needs her kingdom.

If your interested in Reba please visit the shelter to fill out an application.. 31 Ventura Drive Dartmouth Ma (508-995-6661)
Multiple Applications will be taken for Little Baby Princess and will NOT be first come first serve

Meet Bonnie 🐾
Sweet Bonnie’s story began on the side of the road… alone, scared, hungry, and covered in ticks with nobody there to care for her.
Thankfully, two kind-hearted Good Samaritans found her wandering by herself and made sure she got the help she so desperately needed. ❤️
At around 5 years old, this beautiful Beagle girl had clearly been struggling to survive on her own, searching for safety and wondering where her next meal would come from. When Bonnie arrived to us, she was underweight, exhausted, and covered in ticks from head to toe.
But slowly, day by day, Bonnie has started learning what love feels like.
As she’s spent time with our staff, her gentle personality has begun to shine through. Beneath the fear is an incredibly sweet soul who just needed patience, kindness, and a chance.
Bonnie absolutely LOVES going for walks and sniffing the world around her like only a true Beagle can. And if there’s one thing she’s learned to get excited about, it’s FOOD! Honestly, Bonnie’s favorite time of day is any time snacks or meals are involved, and we don’t blame her one bit after everything she’s been through.
While Bonnie can still be nervous when meeting new people, once she realizes she’s safe, her walls come tumbling down. Before long, she’s leaning in for affection, wagging her tail, and soaking up all the love she can get. She truly wants to trust, she just needs someone willing to give her a little time.
Bonnie deserves so much more than the lonely life she came from. She deserves soft beds, full bowls, peaceful walks, and a family that will never let her feel abandoned again.
After surviving on her own for who knows how long, Bonnie is finally ready to find the forever home she’s always deserved. 💕
With her shy nature, she can be nervous at first around other dogs at first, but will warm up to them. She doesn't seem to mind cats as long as they don't chase after her and can be on the same energy level. We would recommend kids being 10+ years just so they're not too hectic for her.
If you are interested in this sweet girl, feel free to fill out an application online, or come down the the shelter to fill one out. If you have any other questions call us at 508-995-6661.

Meet Humpty Dumpty!
And unlike the nursery rhyme… this boy is READY to put himself back together again with a forever family ❤️
Humpty Dumpty is a 1-year-old Pitbull with one mission in life: LOVE EVERYONE with his entire body, soul, and approximately 500 pounds of enthusiasm packed into one wiggly dog.
To say this boy is happy would be an understatement. Humpty is over-the-top, full-throttle, “OH MY GOSH A HUMAN!!!” excited every single time he sees people. His tail never stops wagging, his whole body wiggles with joy, and he truly believes every person he meets wants to be his new best friend.
So… how did he get the name Humpty Dumpty?
Well, we’ll leave that to your imagination …but lets just say his excitement came out in some very awkward ways. 😅
Thankfully, with structure and guidance, Humpty has been learning better manners every day. But at his core, he’s still a big, silly, overly enthusiastic young dog who needs someone committed to continuing his training and helping him channel all that excitement appropriately.
Humpty Dumpty is looking for:
🏡 A home with children who are over the age of 12 due to his over the top excitement
🐾 An adopter with breed experience
💪 Someone who understands strong, energetic dogs and can provide consistency, boundaries, and continued training
❤️ A family willing to love a dog who may be a little “extra,” but means well every single second of the day
Underneath all the chaos and comedy is a dog who truly just wants connection. Humpty isn’t trying to be difficult - he’s simply bursting with excitement and still learning how to exist in the world politely.
He deserves someone who sees beyond the goofy behavior and recognizes the incredibly loving dog underneath it all.
Because once Humpty loves you… he LOVES you with his whole heart.

If you are interested in him, feel free to come down to the shelter and fill out an application, or go to our website to fill one out. If you have any other questions please call us at 508-995-6661
