Introducing Bishop! Bishop was one of three in a litter and he’s the only one still looking for his forever home! This 15-pound affectionate bug is gentle, intelligent, and eager to please. He likes squeaky toys, playing fetch, and chew toys. He also loves hiking, walking, and meeting new people. This charming little gentleman is also down for some cuddling with his people on the couch while you watch a movie. His Southern fosters report that “he has a true buddy personality. He reminds of a kids best friend, fishing, riding buddy. He vocally interacts with us too when he needs to tell us something like ‘let’s go!’. He is a great little size and gentle with everyone even in play.” We strongly recommend that all our dogs - and especially puppies - attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the dog, and it also helps to strengthen that ever-important bond between the dog and his human family. It’s lots of fun, too! If you're ready to make that awesome commitment to bring up Bishop, fill out an application today! Will you be the one to give this incredible boy the home he deserves? Unconditional love and snuggles await! An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not by breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
