👑 Meet Miss Gemma 👑

Gemma will be 6 years old in July and this purebred pittie girl is looking for a home of her own 🖤🐾

Gemma is the perfect mix of playful and snuggly. She still has plenty of energy for walks, adventures, and pool parties, but she is just as happy curling up with her people after a long day. Honestly? If you ask me, this is the PERFECT age.

Her absolute favorite thing in the world is tug. Gemma LOVES her rope toys and tug balls and will happily bring them to you every day hoping you’ll play with her. During our recent pool day, she had the best time stomping around the kiddie pool and chomping at the water.

Gemma is a strong girl who doesn’t always realize her size, so older children would be best. We’ve also been working on improving her leash manners and she’s making progress.

• No small animals
• Dog selective — meet and greet required with any resident dogs
• Loves people, toys, and attention
• Middle-aged queen energy 👑

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with personality, snuggles, and a goofy playful side, Gemma may be your girl 🖤

🐾 Foster to Adopt Needed – Meet Ace 🐾

Ace is a 1.5 year old male looking for a foster-to-adopt home.

Ace is a very sweet, snuggly, playful boy who loves attention and being with his people. He has done well with other dogs, would likely do fine with cats, and is good with kids.

Ace is scheduled to be neutered on June 5th in Southbridge. Foster/adopters must be able to transport him to his appointment in the morning and pick him up in the afternoon that day.

Requirements:
• All current animals in the home must be up to date on vaccines
• Application must be completed in full to be considered
• Incomplete applications will not be considered
• Please contact your veterinarian ahead of time to authorize release of records
• Please notify references that they will be contacted

Fosters will have the opportunity to adopt once he is neutered.

Please email [email protected] for an application 🖤🐾

Adoption fee will be $200

☀️🐾 HEAT ADVISORY REMINDER 🐾☀️

With temperatures rising, please remember that dogs should NEVER be left unattended in vehicles — not even “for just a minute.”

Even on a mild or cloudy day, temperatures inside a vehicle can rise to deadly levels within minutes. Cracking windows does little to prevent heat buildup. Heat stroke can happen FAST and can quickly become fatal.

Please also remember that dogs should not be left outside unattended for extended periods of time during extreme heat. Dogs can overheat much faster than people, especially:
🐶 brachycephalic breeds (bulldogs, pugs, etc.)🐶 elderly dogs
🐶 puppies
🐶 dogs with medical conditions
🐶 dogs with thick coats

If your dog is outside WITH you:
✔️ Provide constant access to fresh water
✔️ Provide shade at ALL times
✔️ Limit outdoor activity during peak heat hours

If the pavement is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for your dog’s paws.

Please help us keep pets safe during this heat wave

☀️🐾 POOL DAY AT WEBSTER ANIMAL SHELTER 🐾☀️

With the warm sunshine today, Bear, Gemma, and Zara (the other two chose not to participate) got to enjoy some much deserved kiddie pool time while soaking up the beautiful weather. 💦🐶

One thing that is incredibly important to me is making sure the dogs in my care are not just sitting in kennels all day. Every dog here gets individual time, attention, enrichment, playtime, and love while they wait for their forever homes. ❤️

🐾 Bear is still looking for his forever home
🐾 Gemma is still looking for her forever home
🐾 Zara is currently looking for a foster-to-adopt home

Each one of these dogs has their own personality, their own story, and so much love to give. Watching them relax, play, and just get to be dogs for a little while is one of the best parts of this job. 🥹

If you may be interested in Bear, Gemma, or Zara, please reach out to me directly or email [email protected] for more information

🐾 Meet Zara! 🐾

Zara is a 1–2-year-old female German Shepherd looking for a foster-to-adopt home ❤️

This beautiful girl is FULL of energy and more than ready to run straight into her new home and heart. She is super sweet, absolutely loves attention, and enjoys going for car rides. 🚗🐶

Zara already knows:✔️ Sit✔️ Paw

She’s a smart girl who just needs the right person willing to give her structure, love, and consistency.

Zara still needs to be spayed and vaccinated, so she will remain in foster status until that is completed. Because of this, the foster home must be local and able to bring her to her vet appointment in Southbridge when the time comes.

🐕 She seems excited and interested when seeing other dogs🐈 Cats are currently unknown

If you are interested in Zara, please email [email protected].

All other animals in the home must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccine

🚨 UPDATE 5/15 🚨

This dog was initially reported as having been found on E Main Street approximately two weeks ago. At that time, the reporting party stated they had kept the dog because they wanted him, claimed they had attempted to locate an owner with no success, and later stated their landlord would not allow them to keep the dog.

Since then, additional information obtained during the investigation has raised concerns regarding the dog’s history and ownership. Information gathered indicates the dog may have been in their possession for closer to two months, that attempts were made to privately rehome/sell the dog for $500, and that rescues had been contacted regarding placement. There have also been conflicting statements regarding where the dog originated from, including claims involving both New York and New Jersey, while veterinary records currently point to New Jersey.

At this time, the dog WILL REMAIN in the care of Webster Animal Control while the investigation continues. My priority is ensuring that no rightful owner is currently searching for this dog and that all information regarding his history is properly verified before any further decisions are made.

The dog is NOT currently available for foster or adoption. If and when he becomes available through Animal Control, a separate public post will be made. Please do not contact the shelter regarding adoption inquiries at this time.

If anyone in New Jersey, New York, or surrounding areas believes this dog may belong to them or recognizes him based on his description, please contact me directly at [email protected].
