Are you looking for a "little fur" under the tree this year? This sweet little bundle of fur is Nitro. Nitro is the perfect package, he is beautifully marked, fun and very lovable. Nitro looks to be a Great Pyrenees mix that was born early September. He is one of the smaller pups in the litter and is just a little spitfire! Nitro's mom and another female dog had wandered onto a farm and the resident dog there ended up breeding with both females. Nitro and his eight siblings, was the second litter to be born. One week prior the other female had given birth to a litter of three girls. The owner of the farm did not want them and had threatened to kill them all, so to save their lives they were all taken into rescue.
Nitro is doggie-door trained but still may need sometime to readjust to his new home. As with all puppies, we strongly recommend obedience training, as it not only helps with training and good manners but it also helps to form a lasting bond. Nitro will need a family who has the time, patience and energy for a high energy puppy that will grow to be a large breed dog. A home with a fenced in yard would be ideal, so he can run and play safely. If not, he will need lots of walks and taken to a dog park. If you are ready to make a life-long commitment to Nitro, then fill out an application and you just may have yourself the happiest "HOWLIDAY" ever!

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.
