Rocket is a sweetheart - needs a forever home! We know there's a family out there for him. Complete an application on our site www.survivortails.org You can email questions to [email protected]

Name: Rocket
S*x: Male
Breed: Hound mix
Age: 8 yo
Weight: 75 pounds
Needs: Quiet home, with no young children, preferred — teens okay. Rocket can get anxious in very noisy environments causing him to pace and bark.
Cats: unknown
Dogs: Good with most, meet and greet will be required.

Rocket would love nothing more than a quiet home where he can play, take naps and be cuddled. He LOVES being tucked into a blanket on the couch (wrapped up with just his face out, see photos). He enjoys riding in the car. He is treat and food motivated, he’s been fed 2x daily, morning & late afternoon, and at meal time, he will kindly remind you by laying by his dish expectantly. He enjoys laying in the sun when its warm, he dislikes the rain and getting wet, he would rather hold his p*e all day. Like many dogs, he is afraid of thunder/fireworks. He is completely house trained and will pace by the door when he needs to go. You will be alerted to any delivery trucks arriving, they are scary! On walks he has been known to lunge at large trucks and can sometimes bark at other dogs. We recommend having treats at the ready and turning his back away from these triggers, have him sit (with a tight, short hold on his leash) keep his attention as they pass. For this reason we also suggest walking trails, or if on the road, less busy times of the day. Rocket has attended daycare without issues and that is where he has been groomed, nails cut etc. He does best with treats during nail trims. (not a fan of the dremel tool) He loves chewing nyla bones.

www.survivortails.org

Name: Henry
S*x: Male
Breed: Lab Weimaraner mix
Age: 6 yo
Weight: 67 pounds
Needs: Fenced yard a plus, needs daily exercise (don't they all!)
Cats: unknown
Dogs: Good with appropriate intro, meet & greet will be required.

Henry is a handsome energetic fella! He likes to play fetch, go hiking and take long walks. Daily exercise is a must for this stud. Great with kids, enjoys snuggling on the couch. He can suffer from separation anxiety and takes a daily med to help. Though he's lived with two other dogs he can get nervous around new dogs. He needs a slow, controlled introduction and then he's happy to have a new friend. He's a friendly boy that will need to work on his manners, like leash pulling and jumping up. Henry occasionally attends doggy daycare and once integrated, he settles in with his group and has a good day. If interested in fostering or adopting please complete an application on our website www.survivortails.org and email Katie at [email protected]. We are a licensed 501c rescue organization. Henry is adoptable to MA and NH only.

Today, we honor Nellie, a beloved STAR pup who found her forever home with an incredible family more than 10 years ago. Your wagging tail and boundless love touched so many. Rest easy at the Rainbow Bridge, sweet girl, you will be so missed. Thank you, Ben, for giving "Nellie Decaf" a life full of joy.

Sometimes, I wonder…
What if we lived like dogs do?

They don’t carry the weight of yesterday’s mistakes.
They don’t fear what tomorrow might bring.
They simply live fully, wholeheartedly in the now.
A wag of the tail for a kind word.
Eyes that light up for the smallest treat.
Pure joy in just being near the ones they love.

Dogs don’t need much to be happy.
A little affection, a familiar voice, the warmth of someone they trust
That’s enough.

And maybe… that’s the lesson.
That peace isn’t found in having more,
but in needing less.

They remind us that life’s most beautiful moments
are often the ones we overlook
a quiet morning, a shared laugh, a walk in the sun.
No fanfare. No perfection. Just presence.

If we paid attention,
we’d see that dogs are not just companions…
they’re silent teachers.
Of contentment. Of loyalty.
Of love without conditions.

Maybe it’s time we learned to live like them
grateful, joyful,
and always… always present.

Zuki needs a home! Email [email protected]

**IMMEDIATE FOSTER NEEDED****

Age: 6.5 years old
Breed: Mixed - maybe boxer and hound?
Weight: 56.2 lbs
Good with: Some dogs; humans (no kids or 13+ only)

Zuki, short for “Zucchini,” was originally found in TN, not far from two other puppies who looked like her that had been shot. We never knew if she was related to those two other pups thar never made it into rescue. 😞 This sweet girl is a beautiful companion dog who is being returned to our rescue after six years, through no fault of her own and now needs immediate placement in a new adoptive home or foster family.

She has been in a loving family home for the last 6 years, however we've determined a home with small children is not the ideal setting to meet her needs. We think her back or hips may be out of alignment and have her scheduled with a canine chiropractor to investigate. Zuki often waits until everyone goes to bed to settle into her bed. She enjoys curling up on a rug to have a nice nap after playing outside or just hanging out with her people. She will lay down where you're working to keep you company. She loves going on walks or hikes on trails and smiles the most when she's outdoors getting exercise. Zuki does well on car rides (no issues with car sickness) and has been great on family trips to New Hampshire.

She is happy to play with other dogs, however she does best when she can meet them in an outdoor setting off leash to get to know them. She can be nervous around smaller dogs.

Zuki is smart and knows basic commands like sit, wait, come, or"up up" to jump onto the end of the bed or to jump into the back of a car. She is food motivated, so definitely appreciates treats as rewards. Zuki loves to play games like "find it", where you hide treats around the house or in the yard and she can sniff them out.

Zuki gets nervous having her nails trimmed, does best when done by a professional (and with a Dremel). As a puppy, Zuki was skittish and barked when she got nervous, however while she still barks at large trucks (like trash trucks because of their high pitched brakes), she has become calmer with age and is an ideal companion for an adult household. She loves long walks and getting exercise which calms her down when she is nervous.

Zuki’s ideal home would be child-free with a single person or couple who enjoys hiking and the outdoors and can provide regular exercises and enrichment. She can be in a home with another dog of a similar size for company and should meet that dog to ensure a good fit first.

If interested in fostering or adopting, please complete an application on our website www.survivortails.org and email us at [email protected]. We are a licensed 501c rescue organization. Zuki is adoptable to MA and NH only.
