My name is Nala. I'm an 8 year old yellow lab that loves to swim, run off leash in the woods, play fetch, hang out with other dogs and sleep! I'm very shy with strangers and new people, but I promise that if you spend some quality time earning my trust you'll discover that I am loving, loyal and very gentle. I guarantee you won't regret adopting me. I know how to sit, down, stay, and shake hands. I also have experience with reward-based clicker training, and I am very food motivated and enjoy learning new things.
I am a very healthy dog. I've kept all of my vet records and am all up to date on my vaccinations. I can go up and down stairs and jump in and out of the car. You'll also learn that I am excellent on the leash and don't pull at all.
I have problems with children under 10 years old, so it's best that I go to a home without kids. My owners got me when I was a puppy and they love me very much, but they just brought a baby into the family, so I really would prefer being in a different home. I also don't really like cats that much.
If you're looking for a loving companion and might like to adopt me, please call Ben at 617-548-3903. Let him introduce us and you'll see what a wonderful gift I can be!

Duke is a beautiful male 3 year old black lab with wonderful family interaction, great energy, fully vetted, fixed, a cat lover, and all around goofy lab personality. Living with a family with three children today (15, 13, 9) Duke is the consummate family dog – loves to play catch, will do anything for treats, and can be protective with dogs and people he does not know. Once he is introduced to new things, he is a tail wagging happy go lucky dog and a puppy at heart. While he gets nervous around new people and dogs – he never crosses the line. Duke loves food however is great at sharing with his two cats and never growls. He never has chewed on anything that is not his toy, and is truly affectionate – often falling asleep at your feet. He loves taking walks, swimming, running around the yard, or playing any game.
He is a very intelligent dog and shows that food and praise are the path to learning new obedience skills.
Duke currently lives in a neighborhood with over 30 children, and this is making him progressively nervous. He needs a loving family off the beaten path and he will reward you by being your lifelong companion and loving member of your family. While we are deeply saddened by having to let him goto a new family, we know that the perfect loving setting awaits.

There are always many, many purebred Labs, Goldens, and other retrievers as well as retriever mixes available at the CACC (Centers for Animal Control and Care) in NY. These shelters hold hundreds of dogs at any given time. Often, these dogs are euthanized within days of their arrival. Unfortunately, NEARR does not always have room for these dogs and we are lacking volunteers in this area. These wonderful dogs need your help! For more information, including a list of dogs available, visit: http://www.nycacc.org/

This is Gypsy. She is an eight-year-old spayed female, she weighs 66 lbs, and has had one home. Gypsy loves people and children. She is very gentle and loves attention. She has had some obedience training and listens very well. She is not destructive and she rarely barks (only when people come to the house.) Gypsy does have a blood pressure problem that she takes inexpensive medicine for. She would love a house with fenced yard, as she loves to run and play. If you are interested in learning more about Gypsy or would like to meet her, please contact Catherine by email at cattmcmasters@yahoo.com.

Diego was found as a stray in East Montpelier, VT. Once we had him in our care we discovered that Diego is housebroken, knows basic obedience commands, and seems to get along well with other dogs and cats. He is a very friendly boy who truly enjoys being in the company of people, resting his head on your lap and leaning his full Labrador weight against your legs. He has a playful nature and will eagerly engage you in a game of tug or amuse himself with his squeaky toys on his bed. He is easily motivated by food and praise and shows great potential for further positive reinforcement training. Diego is uncomfortable with rough handling, so he will do best in an adult home. He has a calm energy level-- he loves to plod around the yard and go for walks and then relax quietly indoors. Can you offer this sweet guy the stable home that he has been longing for?
