This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.

Inspire Affirmation looks to be a pint-sized lab mix puppy who is a sweetie-pie. 

Inspire is crate trained, and working on his leash and house training skills.   He enjoy toys, and  engaging  in a game of tug-of-war or fetch. 

He is still learning about this big world, so will need someone patient but he is catching on quickly that treats, excursions, toys and playtime are awesome!  Inspire can be a bouncy, playful little boy, as well as a little hand shy.  He would do best in a household that is quiet and predictable.  He would love to have a doggie brother or sister, but could likely succeed as an only, too, as long as his people will introduce him at his pace to new experiences.  

We strongly recommend that all of our dogs, especially puppies, attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it can build confidence and socialization for the dog. It's also fun! It often takes a lot of time, energy, and patience to bring up a puppy--and it's absolutely worth it.

Medical Note:  Inspire is a parvo survivor. His last symptoms were on 12/6/2023, and we are so happy that he is okay now and ready to find his furever home!

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 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.
