This is our bright and shiny girl, Sunshine. The name fits as she is a bright and happy girl. She will brighten any home with her happy and friendly personality. Sunshine came in as a stray but what we do know is that she is looking for an active home where she can get lots of attention and exercise. She would love a fenced in yard where she could play a rousing game of fetch or maybe a running buddy to go on long walks or jogs with. Then a nice snack and a nap on the couch or her very own bed. Sunshine appears to get along with the other dogs and can be tested with cats. While she is trying to make the best of it here at the shelter, she needs more attention and activity than she can get here. Please come meet this 'sunshine of your life' as she is truly a wonderful pup and so deserving of a home of her own. Call Joyce for a meet and greet today!

Please meet Arya! This beautiful and very sweet pup came into the pound as a stray. She is believed to be about 4 years old and is healthy head to toe. The first thing you notice when you meet Arya is the big smile on her face. The next thing is her very beautiful and unusual coloring. Her coat is a shiny gray and black dappled, similar to a Catahoula hound. Arya is a very sweet and friendly dog and is happy to do whatever you want her to. She loves to go walking with the volunteers and is friendly to everyone and everything. She would love a walking buddy or someone to play with her in a fenced in yard, then snuggle on the couch. She is an easy dog to love and to spend time with. Arya appears to have been well cared for and socialized. We are puzzled why no one came looking for her as she is a prize of a pup. Please consider this fine young lady as a new member of your household. You will not be disappointed in her. Please contact Joyce for a meet and greet so Arya can show off her beauty and adorableness!
​She loves company!

UPDATED: Isabella has had her DNA done and she is a Bull Terrier mix with no pit bull at all. Isabella is a precious soul of a pup who came into the pound with signs of having lived a hard life. She is quite possibly the sweetest and most loving little dog we have ever met. We searched for a name for her and settled on Isabella, as he "Is a Bella" , a Beauty, both inside and out.

Isabella has been with us, between the pound and the humane society for almost a year. She is currently living at the Gloucester Mathews Humane Society. We all love her and are amazed that someone hasn't come to take her home. She is on the small side and is healthy in every way.

She is calm and gentle, taking treats gently and always snuggling in for a hug and giving kisses whenever she can. She walks spritely on a leash and has the prettiest sit. She would do especially well in a calm and quiet household and would make a single person or older couple a wonderful companion. She would make her people feel so loved and would show her gratitude every single moment. We are all in love with Isabella and know you would be too. Please come visit her. She loves company!
​
Call Joyce and she will put you in touch with Isabella's adoption team!

UPDATED: Sweet Annabelle has been at the pound for quite some time. She is a very sweet girl who came in as an owner surrender due to no fault of her own. She is young, healthy and beautiful. The white shading on her muzzle is her coloring and not a sign of age. Sadly, the stress of losing her family and being in this noisy hectic place has caused her to become dog selective, not all but some. She is very housebroken and becomes very anxious when she has to go and can't go outside. Due to the nature of the pound, she only gets walked once or twice a day. This is all very hard on her. She loves attention and is very affectionate with people. She loves going for walks with the volunteers. You can see her visibly relax when she gets her business done. She would make the right family a great companion. An experienced Boxer or bully breed person would be excellent and for now, at least, she would do best as an only dog. We love her and are anxious to find her a home based rescue or a new adoptive home. Please give her a chance and come meet her. She is a great dog and deserves so much more than she has right now.

CHIN UP, PAW OUT....and POSE! *

Introducing KANE. Currently available for adoption! He was an owner surrender on 2/21/2019. His female owner had gotten frustrated with him when strangers came to the door or if she would try and exit. Resulting in her saying he had to go. We have taken this into consideration and have been and will continue to be working on Kane's doorway etiquette. This means, WE are the boss and not him. We have been lucky in the past to work with @2speakdog with some of our cases and we will continue to put in place some of their training. Kane otherwise is a VERY obedient pup. He responds well to treats, positive reinforcement, and TLC ♡ He is on the market for a strong, active owner who will love him. He will do well with other dogs through proper meet and greets, does well on a leash and is asking for a second chance!!

Buddy is a pit mix around 47lbs. Loves other big dog and gets along well with small also. He enjoys cuddling on the couch and wrestling with my lab. Buddy was rescued off the back country rds after wks of living out of the neighbors trash cans. He is fully vetted and chipped, crate trained walks ok on leash and awesome in car rides. He will need a fence he tends to roam. Buddy is great with my 2 teenage children but has nipped a guest. He is protective and will need a home with some with experience with bully breed.

This handsome young hunk came to the shelter as a stray on 11/17/2018.The owners were later located and advised they had no plans to come get him from the shelter. He is a large pup that is still learning basic commands, loves to play with his people and toys. Would do best with a confident and strong companion!

Rio is a 2 and 1/2 year old male Pit bull terrier. He is an absolute love bug! He loves everyone he meets, and he is eager and quick to learn. He is an angel on a leash and happy outside, but what he really wants to be doing is laying around with his people all day! He hasn't had basic obedience training but is a very quick learner and picking up all of that now. He was housed with another un neutered male dog and began fighting with that dog (a 150 lb Rottweiler), which is why was surrendered. For that reason, he should go to a home without other dogs. In the right home, Rio will continue to progress into a lovely and loyal companion. He has been recently vetted, neutered and is up to date on all vaccines and parasite testing.

Guessing about 2 years old, Boost was found in the streets looking in a homes front window. Animal control called him over and he came running and got into the car with a little boost. The city he was found in has a "pit ban". He has fighting marks on him and a possible broken nose. He loves people and loves cuddling close and tucking his head into you. He has a very high prey drive and needs to be an only animal. Appears to be a pure American Pit Bull Terrier and acts as one. Rides well in the car and has anxiety when confined in a cage. Will be fixed, micro chipped and is started on vaccines.

Koby is just plain adorable. He is a small and solid bully mix. When he looks up at you, he wiggles all over with just the excitement of getting your attention. Koby was given up through no fault of his own, they simply didn't want him any more. Koby has not let this dampen his spirits and looks forward to a new and loving furever home. He is likely housebroken but may need a bit of a refresher having been in the pound. Koby walks well on leash and is very excited to be out and about with the volunteers. He gets along well with the other dogs.He can be tested with cats. He is a beautiful fawn color, and is healthy in every way. Did I mention he is adorable? We believe he would love a family where he could either go for long walks or have a fenced yard where he can wander around, check out the surroundings and play a game of fetch. He likes his toys and his kong. He could also be your best friend while lying next to you on the couch or maybe a nice soft bed.He is young and smart and ready for his new life. Please consider sharing your life with this wonderful dog....he is ready to be your new BFF!

Bella Boo is a sweet girl who is affectionate and loves to give kisses. She listens well and loves her crate. She enjoys being outside and will do well in a fenced in yard (minimum 5 feet) with a doghouse when her owners are away from home. She enjoys exercises and has recently learned to run next to her person for up to 3 miles. Bella Boo is in need of a forever home now that her former owner has passed away. Still looking for an adopter of foster for Bella Boo. Would love to find someone who has the time and patience to help her through the trauma she experienced losing her owner suddenly. She may do best in a home where she is the only dog, at least initially. She has spent time with and gotten long with other dogs, but with everything she has gone through, she is still a bit fearful and uncertain about things.

Know what my favorite Christmas song is? Jingle Bella, Jingle Bella, Jingle Bella rock! Hi, I’m Bella and I’m hoping you, dear reader, might be the one to open your heart and home to a lonely, homeless doggo in need. For Christmas, I’d love to be snuggling with your kiddos next to the fireplace instead of forlornly looking in through the window for another whole year.

I am a Dutch Shepherd mix and I’m probably around four years old. I weigh around 55 pounds, but most of that is in my super shapely, athletic legs. I’m hoping to find someone who might take me running with them, but I’m also okay with long daily walks or even just a fenced in yard. And I’ve got some great news since you’re already 100% sure you want to adopt me- I come fully trained! That’s right, I’m house trained, crate trained, and even leash trained (as long as you use the right kind of collar)!

It takes me several minutes to warm up to new people, so I’m hoping that I can find an owner with enough patience and understanding to help me learn that strangers can become friends quickly. And no worries, this counts for kiddos, too! Once I know they are nice, I’m ready to recruit them into my genuine best friend army. I am able to live with other dogs as long as they are calm and respectful, but I cannot live with cats.

If you are looking for an energetic, intelligent dog to tag along for jogs, walks, car rides, hikes, or even naps on the couch, you are looking for me, Bella! To adopt me, visit THIS LINK to apply online. If you have more questions about my training or behavior, feel free to message The Balanced Dog, LLC.

Choirs here! After months of rehearsals with a dedicated dog trainer, I think I’m ready to find a new audience in my very own forever home. Before Smiles Forever Animal Rescue saved me, I spent most of my life in a shelter, becoming increasingly miserable as each day went by. The rescue hired The Balanced Dog to fix what they thought was dog aggression. Turns out, I just don’t like being caged and I’m not dog aggressive at all. Good news for you since you’re already in love with me!

I currently live in a house with well-behaved dogs of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds but I have to admit, all that time spent in the shelter really stunted my emotional growth and I’m learning very slowly how to interact with other dogs. I do great with well-trained dogs, but if antagonized or bullied, I’m not sure how I’d react. I have not been cat-tested and my trainer believes I likely wouldn’t do well around them. I have no food aggression issues and I’m great with the dog trainer’s kiddo.

I walk great on a leash with the right collar and I’m very well crate trained. I haven’t ever had an accident in my trainer’s house (pretty impressive for a two year old doggo if I do say so myself).

After years of isolation, the thing I love most in the world is to be around people. I have no bite history or aggression issues with humans of any shape or size. Now, I am very young and playful, so I might knock a smaller child down by accident. I mean heck, I do weigh 50 lbs and that might be a lot of dog for a young child to handle.

If you are looking for a young, active dog to suit your young and active lifestyle, you are looking for me, Choirs! To apply to adopt, please visit https://www.smilesforeveranimalrescue.org/apply-now.html to download an adoption contract. You can also message The Balanced Dog, LLC with any further questions about my extensive training!

Hi friends, I’m Somaya and I’m here to share my Christmas wish with you: a real, true forever home complete with matching forever family and forever couch (will settle for a recliner or even a nice doggy bed)! I know that’s a big wish, but I’m holding out for it because I’ve been a good girl this year. I’ve gotten loads of training and guidance from a very skilled dog trainer and I’m so ready to find a family to impress with my good behavior.

I’m around five years old and I weigh around 55 lbs, so you don’t have to worry about any of the garden variety puppy stuff with me. That’s right, I’m already house trained and crate trained! I’m also great at leash walking as long as you use the right kind of collar. An added bonus- I’m also great with kiddos! So if your little hooman needs a role model or a naptime buddy, sign me up!

My trainer feels that I would thrive in a home where I would either get regular daily walks or be allowed to play off leash in a safe, fenced-in yard. I am not a very high energy dog, but I do need to be exercised daily (just a regular leashed walk will do) because it helps me with my separation anxiety. Personally, I’m hoping to find a family where someone might be able to spend a lot of time at home with me because I am still reconciling some issues with separation anxiety. Hopefully this doesn’t count me out of your home, but I do need to go somewhere where there are no other pets.

If you are looking for an low energy, happy go lucky, kid-friendly doggo to complete your family, you are looking for me, Somaya! To apply to adopt me, visit THIS LINK and apply online. If you have further questions about my personality or training, feel free to message The Balanced Dog, LLC.

Harper is a sweet American Stafford mix with cute black and white spots all over. This beautiful girl is about one year old and was brought into our shelter as a stray. She is sweet but can be quite the handful at times. Harper's got a lot of energy and can be jumpy and little nippy at times. She just needs some training and obedience work. She will often settle down for walks outside which she really enjoys; she loves being able to go outside and explore.
