ADOPTION DATE: 11-20-2017 Packer and Ruthie have been in rescue for a while and their medical expenses to feed and keep them updated on vaccinations prevent us from taking in other new dogs that need us desperately. We want to keep them together because that is best for them, that sometimes can keep dogs in rescue longer. Read their story, what would you do? If you can’t donate, we certainly understand. However, could you pretty please cross-post this message to just one other person that might be able to help?

Packer is a gorgeous Lab Mix who just hasn’t found his place in his short one year of life yet. As a stray, he was picked up and brought to a shelter. No one knows anything about handsome Packer except that his number was up: he was scheduled to be put to sleep within days. Even though Packer was a wonderful, sweet dog, it is heartbreaking to think that even the best dogs are euthanized because of the unwanted dog population. Simply spaying or neutering pets would save dogs like Packer tremendously. The shelters would not be overcrowded and it would be easier to finds good homes for these deserving souls.

PACKER IS RUTHIE’S BROTHER

Their struggle of near death twice, is a true rescue story that reaches the hearts of those that rescue our dogs and give them their forever ending. The best happy ending would be that they could be adopted together.

Luckily, our local angel, working diligently to save as many dogs a she can, was able to rescue Packer just in time. He is now safely living at a no-kill shelter and spending his days playing with the other foster dogs. He just adores playing and getting attention. Packer would make a wonderful jogging companion as he has lots of energy, but he is not too energetic that he wouldn’t do well being in a house or being with children. He is laid back and will go with the flow. He’s happy doing whatever, as long as he is with his people.

It’s time Packer finally settles down and begins enjoying life in his forever home. He’s a sweetheart, and he deserves so much more than he has gotten so far. Will you open your heart and home to Packer? You will not regret giving this sweet boy a chance.

Our southern rescuers can have as many as 20 dogs on their property, if not more dogs at one time, and the challenges that go along with the care of the dog can also sometimes mean sacrifices with their personal lives. So it is not only the foster that do the work, the family members also participate on a daily basis. They never ask for money or even a thank you and it is important that they know that we appreciate their sacrifices and the updates you send help them after the adoption help them see that one of the dogs they worked with is doing well–is like opening an unexpected gift for them. It gives them great joy to see the dogs happy and healthy in loving homes like yours.

This dog cannot be adopted to Massachusetts residents due to new laws regarding rescue dogs being prohibited from adoption. Please contact Patricia Cabral at: 617-626-1786 or Mike Cahill at: 617-626-1794 for questions regarding what dogs you are allowed to adopt.
