Meet Amigo – The Distinguished Gentleman!

In the play yard, Amigo is calm and friendly with other dogs, making him a great potential companion.
If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing, and distinguished best friend, Amigo is ready to charm his way into your heart. Come meet him today!

Berry’s journey hasn’t been easy, but she’s ready to find the loving home she truly deserves. She came to the shelter with two other dogs after her previous owners could no longer care for them. Sadly, she had been neglected for quite some time, arriving with severe skin issues, hair loss, and heartworm. But despite it all, Berry’s spirit remained unbroken—she is a true survivor!
Berry has been given a second chance and blossomed in foster care, and at our shelter. She’s a confident, playful girl with a big personality. She loves running in a fenced yard, going for walks, and snuggling up with her humans. Fully potty- and crate-trained, Berry is a polite houseguest who only barks to alert you of visitors. She adores meeting new people and is eager to continue learning in preparation for her forever home.
Berry has been spayed, is up to date on vaccinations, has had treatment for heartworm and is undergoing treatment for skin recovery. She has striking black fur, warm brown eyes, and a heart full of love to share. She’s ready for adoption—could you be the one to give Berry the home she’s been waiting for?

If you’ve ever wanted a real-life teddy bear who can keep up with your adventures and then snuggle up for movie night, Barkley is your guy! At 90 pounds of pure fluff and fun, this gentle giant is a perfect mix of playful energy and easygoing charm. He’s fantastic with kids, loves the snow, and always has a big, goofy grin on his face—because every day is a good day when you’re Barkley!
But life hasn’t always been so kind to this sweet boy. Barkley came from a tough past where he was dragged behind an ATV by his collar, leaving him a little wary of being handled around his neck by a leash and a collar. Despite that, his heart is still wide open—he wants to trust, he wants to love, and he’s making amazing progress with kind hands and patient hearts. Once he knows you’re one of the good ones (and trust us, he figures it out fast!), he’s all in—big tail wags, bigger kisses, and a lifetime of loyalty.
Barkley is well-behaved in a crate, quiet, and has one adorable quirk—he’s a social eater, meaning he prefers to enjoy his meals with a human nearby. (Because let’s be honest, dinner is just better when you share it with a friend!)
This big-hearted boy is looking for a family that will love him unconditionally and show him that the only thing in his future is belly rubs, snowy adventures, and endless cuddles. Could that be you? Come meet Barkley —he’s got a whole lot of love to give, and he’s saving the best of it just for you.

Cole is looking for his next new best pal! He has a fun energy level and seems to feed off of whatever the human he is with wants to do. Want to play? He will play. Want to bring him in? He will go right inside. Want to cuddle? He will plop right in your lap for all the lovin’ he can soak in!
Cole would make a great companion for someone looking for a copilot for all their adventures but wanting a snuggle buddy at night.
We assume this boy is house-trained as we’ve never had to clean up after him and he also does very well in a crate! Even though he has the biggest, goofiest personality, Cole is quiet all day unless he can hear that his favorite dog walker is at the shelter!
Cole loves every human that he meets but would be a little too much energy for small kiddos. He can be jumpy when he’s excited to see his people.
Other Dogs
Cole is dog selective - he has successfully been on walks with other dogs after a slow introduction.

Ellen is a lively and energetic young pup ready to find her forever home! With her bouncy spirit and playful nature, she’s the perfect candidate for an adventure buddy or even an agility partner—this girl has serious potential! She is super affectionate, loves being around people, and getting loved on in return.
Ellen has made a few furry friends at the shelter and does well with other dogs who match her energy level. After some fun in the play yard, she’s great about settling into her crate. She has made progress with her potty training, but she is still learning. Although she has some accidents, she is too cute for our volunteers to be upset for too long!
Her ideal family will be ready to continue her basic obedience training and give her plenty of outlets for her puppy-like energy. If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion with a heart full of joy, Ellen is the one for you!

Are you looking for a loyal, loving sidekick who’s always ready for cuddles and companionship? Introducing Gypsy, the petite hound with a heart as big as her personality!
Gypsy is a social butterfly who gets along fabulously with other dogs—she came from a foster home full of hound friends, so she knows how to be part of the pack. While she may be a hound, she’s not the loud type—just a sweet, affectionate girl who adores human attention. She’ll even give you a gentle little hop to remind you she’s ready for love (and maybe a treat or two)!
With her friendly nature, Gypsy would be a great fit for a home with older kids who can keep up with her playful yet gentle energy. Whether it’s lounging on the couch or exploring the great outdoors, she’s always up for an adventure—as long as she gets her fair share of ear scratches along the way!
Gypsy is ready to find her forever home—could it be with you? Come meet this lovable hound and let her charm you into a lifetime of love and fun!

Heath is a unique and lovable pup looking for a family to call his own! With a mix of pit bull, Australian shepherd, and dachshund, he’s got a little bit of everything—intelligence, loyalty, and a big heart. This sweet boy made his way to Lighthouse Animal Shelter from South Carolina, where his best friend was a young pitbull—so it’s no surprise that he gets along great with other dogs, including our resident pup, Lou!
Heath has been friendly from the start—great with people, dogs, and even cats! He’ll happily approach new friends, but he’s also smart enough to respect a cat’s boundaries when needed. While he adores attention, he can be submissive at times and may have a little excitement or nervous pee when meeting new people. Small children running up to him too quickly can make him uneasy, but he does great with slow introductions (and treats always help!).
Housebroken & crate trained – He knows “kennel up” and will go right to his crate when asked.
Dog-friendly & cat-aware – He enjoys canine company and has learned to respect cat signals.
Super affectionate – Expect lots of face and hand kisses! He also loves to jump up and “hug” your arm, so keeping his nails trimmed is key.
Energetic & loves to run – A home with a big yard and maybe even another playful dog would be ideal!
No bones, please! – Hard chew toys are best for his sensitive stomach.
Heath is a sweet, fun-loving, and eager-to-please pup who would thrive in an active home where he can run, play, and be part of the family. If you’re looking for a loving companion with a big heart, come meet Heath!

Larissa has come a long way since she first arrived at Lighthouse! She was initially timid and insecure but with some time to adjust to her new surroundings, she has really come out of her shell and adores our volunteers.
She has a medium energy level so she loves to be active out in the play yard but also enjoys lounging around for some one-on-one attention.
One of our volunteers who has a soft spot for Larissa took her home for a day away from the shelter. Larissa enjoyed romping around the yard with the volunteer’s dog and was well-behaved and quiet in her home.
Her forever family should keep her initial insecurities in mind but also recognize that with some confidence boosting, Larissa is full of sweet potential. She is a smart girl and food-motivated so confidence building should be a breeze and a wonderful bonding opportunity for Larissa and her forever family.

Lou is ready to find his forever home — and your couch! This sweet, smart boy is eager to please and has a heart full of love. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give him a minute (and maybe a treat), and you’ll have a loyal best friend for life.
He’s already proven his brilliance by learning “sit” in just one day! Lou’s the perfect balance of energy — playful and adventurous outside, but calm and cuddly inside. His favorite outdoor activities include sunbathing like he’s on vacation and playing with his toys. Inside, he’s a pro at snuggling up on his blanket and keeping his people company.
Lou gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids, and cohabitated in a foster home with all of them. While baths aren’t his favorite activity, he handles them (and even nail trims) like a champ. He’s crate-trained, well on his way to being fully house-trained, and only barks when someone gets a little too close to his home — just enough to keep things safe without being noisy. For a young dog, he has excellent house manners, stays out of trouble, and isn’t prone to chewing or getting into things he shouldn’t.
If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle, and low-maintenance companion with a talent for snuggles and sunshine, Lou is your perfect match.

Lewy is remarkably cute, 🥰 with his upturned nose, & slender build! It’s like he will forever look like a puppy! He prances so sweetly & makes us smile when we see just how lanky his legs are!
Lewy came to us because he & his owner were in the process of moving to Southeastern MA, when his owner fell ill & ended up in the hospital with a terminal illness & had to surrender him to Animal Control. With no family to take Lewy in, Animal Control reached out to area shelters for assistance, and Lighthouse Animal Shelter agreed to take him.
At 6 1/2 yrs. old and having lived in the same home since puppyhood, Lewy is understandably anxious and confused with all the changes in close succession, especially losing his person-the only link to the life he had before their move.
Here’s a bit about Lewy from his current foster home:
“He is doing fantastic. He has everything he needs here, and I even went and got him his own bed.”
Lewy gets along with his foster doggy siblings great, as well! He’s even a bit of a local celebrity on his neighborhood walks!
He did have some potty accidents inside, and chewed some things up while his foster parents weren’t home, so Lewy’s foster dad created a separate, comfortable kennel area for him to start helping him potty train, and adjust to a home setting.
We can’t wait to see Lewy go to a forever home who is looking for a pupper who will bring them lots of joy! We know he has some more work to do on potty training and being home alone, but we will be there with his future adopter to help along the way to provide guidance and support!

Mario is a gentle soul with a bit of a submissive streak, so while he loves to romp around and play, he’d do best with a furry friend who isn’t too bossy. He’s polite and well-mannered, happy to relax in his crate, and great with kids, making him a wonderful fit for a family.
He may be a little shy at first, but once he warms up, you’ll have a loyal, affectionate friend who will follow you anywhere. His easygoing personality makes him a joy to be around, and his classic beagle charm means he’ll always keep you smiling.

Meet Maisie, the snuggliest, sweetest lovebug you’ll ever meet! 💖 This 5-year-old boxer-staffie mix may look like a strong, independent girl, but inside, she’s a total softie who wants nothing more than to be by your side – or, ideally, on your lap! Yep, Maisie is an overgrown lap dog who will happily melt into a big, cuddly puddle as soon as you sit down. If you’re in the market for a furry couch companion, she’s got you covered! 🐾
Maisie’s all about her people and has no problem showing it! She’s the queen of belly rubs, and trust us, she’ll let you know when it’s time for a good scratch. Cuddles? Count her in – Maisie is more of a people-pup than a play-pup, so she’d rather be getting head pats than chasing after a toy. This affectionate girl loves to hang out with her humans and makes sure every cuddle session is top-notch. 🤗💕
On walks, Maisie is a superstar – well, maybe a strong superstar! She’s great on a leash, but she might need a little guidance to keep her enthusiasm in check. She’s got a bit of an oral fixation with people (she’s working on her manners!), but with some patience and practice, she’ll be an even better companion than she already is. She’s eager to please, and with a little guidance, she’ll be the best-behaved cuddle bug in town. 🐕
If you’re looking for a loyal, lap-loving sidekick who’s as sweet as she is snuggly, Maisie might just be your perfect match. Come by Lighthouse Animal Shelter to meet her – she’ll be waiting with her big puppy-dog eyes and that lovable, cuddly heart! 🌟

Monty is a big love bug who thrives on affection! He adores being close to people, always seeking out pets and cuddles from our volunteers. His happy, affectionate personality makes him a joy to be around.
Previously, Monty lived in a home with two other dogs—one male and one female. While he did well in a home setting, there was tension and jealousy between him and the older resident male, leading to several altercations. Because of this, we recommend Monty either be the only dog in his new home or be placed with a compatible female dog. He has done well with female dogs in the past and continues to enjoy their company in our play yard.
Monty has even made a new friend at the shelter—Ellen, who is also available for adoption! He loves a fun game of chase, but his favorite activity is a polite round of tug.
Monty is leash reactive, so he’ll need some training if he’ll be in a high-traffic area. With the right guidance, he’ll be a fantastic companion for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate best friend.
Could Monty be your perfect match? Come meet him and find out!

Meet Oreo!
Oreo is the total package—a loving, loyal, and well-mannered pup ready to find his forever home! Whether you’re looking for a faithful companion or a fun-loving family dog, this handsome Labrador mix is the perfect fit.
Oreo gets along wonderfully with other dogs, both big and small. He loves to play but has a gentle, easygoing nature, making him great for families with children. He thinks he’s a lap dog and will happily snuggle up for some love and attention.
Housebroken and crate-trained, Oreo has impeccable manners—no accidents in the house and no chewing on furniture. He’s a smart boy who is eager to learn, already mastering “sit” and working on “stay” with treat motivation. While he walks well on a leash, he gets excited when he sees a squirrel or another dog, so he’ll need a little extra guidance in that area.
Oreo is calm on car rides, loves adventures, and is in excellent health. His shiny coat, big paws, and beautiful brown eyes make him as stunning as he is sweet. He’s not a fan of cats but hasn’t shown aggression toward them.
Fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to be loved—Oreo is waiting for his perfect match! Could that be you?

Meet Pattie, the confident and cuddly superstar of Lighthouse Animal Shelter! This little dynamo is ready to charm her way into your heart with her happy tail wags and wiggle butt that never stop moving. If you’re looking for a playful companion who adores attention, Pattie is your girl!
Pattie is the more adventurous half of the dynamic duo with her sister Peppermint. While Peppermint might prefer a cozy lap or a safe space, Pattie is all about meeting new friends (both 4 legged and 2 legged) and exploring the world around her. She may need a little help with her leash manners, such as some reigning in, she’s already made progress, and with some practice, she’ll be a walking pro in no time!
This smaller bundle of joy is well crate-trained and is making great strides in her potty training. She loves to cuddle and will happily curl up beside you after a fun day of play. While she and Peppermint are the best of pals, it’s best for them to find their own forever homes—Pattie is ready to shine solo, but does enjoy other dogs, and should be adopted separately from Peppermint, to bring her unique sparkle to your life!
If you’re ready for a loving companion who’s always up for an adventure and a cozy cuddle, Pattie is the pup you’ve been waiting for! Come meet her and see just how much love and laughter she can bring to your home!

Introducing Peppermint, the delightful and slightly shy sweetheart from Lighthouse Animal Shelter! This active little lady may be a bit of a wallflower compared to her confident sister, Pattie, but she’s ready to step into the spotlight—one wagging tail at a time! Peppermint has shown remarkable strides since arriving at the shelter.
Peppermint is the ultimate cuddle bug, always seeking her safe space (a cozy lap will do nicely). When you walk into a room, you might hear her bark as if she’s saying, “Who goes there?” But don’t let her watchful demeanor fool you; once she knows you’re a friend, she’s all about the snuggles and tail wags!
While her leash manners are still a work in progress, with a little confidence-building and encouragement, she’s on her way to being the star of her very own walking adventures. She loves making new dog friends and has played wonderfully in her previous shelter’s playgroups.
Although she and Pattie are the best of buddies, adopting them together isn’t the best plan. Peppermint will truly shine when she has the chance to blossom on her own. If you’re looking for a loving companion with a gentle spirit and a knack for cuddles, Peppermint is your girl! She’s ready to find her forever home and show you just how much love she has to give.

Sitka is a true survivor with a heart of gold. Rescued from a cruelty case, he came to us painfully thin at just 37 lbs—but despite his tough past, this sweet boy has nothing but love to give! With a little TLC, he’s well on his way to a healthy weight, and now all he needs is a forever family to complete his glow-up.
This fun-loving pup is the perfect mix of playful and chill. He’s great on a leash and loves his walks—though, fair warning, if he’s been holding it in, he might do a little happy dance on the way to his potty spot (hey, we’ve all been there!). Once he’s had his exercise, he’s all about that couch life, ready to lounge and soak up some belly rubs.
Sitka was an absolute dream in his foster home. He listened beautifully and settled right in with medium energy—always up for playtime but just as happy to stretch out on the couch and relax. He got along wonderfully with the other dogs in the household and even shared a yard with goats without paying them any mind. He’s house-trained and figured out the doggy door on his very first day. He’s also crate-trained and can be left for hours, sleeping soundly in his crate every night.
This sweet boy is gentle on a leash, and while his hound nose sometimes kicks in, a simple “leave it” is all it takes to get him back on track. He loves to run when he’s off-leash, but even with that adventurous spirit, he’s never shown any food aggression. And if you sit with him, prepare for all the love—Sitka’s a hugger through and through.
Sitka is friendly, easygoing, and has a goofy, lovable personality that will keep you smiling, whether he’s trotting by your side or flopping over for some well-earned snuggles. He’s been nothing but polite around other dogs!
If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who’s ready to leave his past behind and start fresh with you, Sitka is your guy!

Zoe is a beautiful, sweet girl who is house trained and crate trained. She is super athletic, agile & smart! She loves to be outside playing fetch or going on long walks but settles nicely inside for down time and cuddling.
She is incredibly devoted & loyal to her people. When she sees someone that she loves, her little nub tail doesn’t stop wagging and all she wants to do is for you to say hi to her and welcome her into your lap. Once you have her trust, there is no turning back! She is loyal and will always greet you with a smile on her face.
Zoe was insecure about meeting new people when she first arrived at Lighthouse. She has gotten much more confident with strangers but her forever family should still be considerate and aware of her feelings when she meets someone new.
Training
Zoe has been to professional training so she knows commands such as sit, down, stay, come and also knows some fun ones like how to give a high five. She's a happy girl when she gets to show off her tricks & quickly learns new ones.
Other Dogs
Zoe has made a lot of dog friends at Lighthouse (loves to play chase!) but it's all on her own terms - she appreciates a slow intro and she will let the other dogs know that she is the queen so she plays best with dogs who accept corrections.
Cats
Zoe has lived with a cat before but she does chase. If she were to live with a cat, they would need to be very dog-savvy.
Our dog adoption program focuses on adult & senior dogs.
We do not have puppies or small dogs.
