HERSHEY - M
DOB: 11/6/2026
WEIGHT: 23.6 lbs
BREED: Legacy Lovehound
This is a story we hope you read all the way through. During the legal seizure of nearly thirty dogs living in heartbreaking conditions, our rescue partners at BarkPlace4Dogs in TN were able to take in three mothers and sixteen babies. Mama Xena was the first to be freed from her chain, along with her nine tiny, two-week-old puppies.
These are the very babies you see here today. Our Valentine’s Chocolates and Mama Xena’s legacy. Xena’s life before rescue was nothing short of devastating. She had been tied to a post for years, a heavy chain cutting into her neck with every movement. Her only shelter was a broken plastic crate with a damp rug thrown over it. She was painfully thin. She was suffering from advanced heartworm disease. Her body was already failing.
And yet, even in her condition, Xena fought to keep all nine of her babies alive. When she had nothing left for herself, she gave everything to them. She fed them. Cleaned them. Pulled them close when they cried. She poured every ounce of her remaining strength into making sure they were safe.
When the day came that Xena let go, it became heartbreakingly clear she had been holding on for one reason only: her puppies. She passed peacefully, surrounded by love and kindness, knowing her nine beautiful lives were cared for and now they will carry her legacy forward.
Animal abuse remains a painful, ongoing battle. In the rural parts of Tennessee where many of our dogs come from, pursuing charges can be difficult and often goes nowhere. It shouldn’t be this way. Xena deserved better. They all do. But today, because of rescue, because of fosters, because of compassion, Xena’s story continues on in the sweetest way possible.
After such a rough beginning, these 9 pups have blossomed into happy, active, affectionate little loves. They are playful, resilient, and full of life. They’re proof that even the darkest beginnings can lead to something beautiful.
They will need families ready for all things puppy: training, structure, exercise, patience, and a lifelong commitment. But in return? You’ll get a loyal companion and the honor of carrying forward the legacy of a warrior mother. Xena fought so her babies could have a future. Now it’s their turn to shine. Are you ready to welcome home one of these warrior puppies and be part of Xena’s legacy?

BITSY - SF
AGE: ~ 1 Year Old
WEIGHT: 49 lbs
BREED: Barbie Girl Babe
Meet Bitsy! Bitsy first came to rescue quite small and pitiful. Her hair was falling out and she had a rash all over her body from a flea infestation. She had been living a life where she had to fend for herself along with several other dogs before she found her way into rescue. She finally received the care she desperately needed and has since grown into the most gorgeous golden girl.
Bitsy resembles a Carolina Dog but we can’t be sure of her breed. Has lots of energy and plays well with everyone (including dogs and cats, but can be a bit rough and playful with them). She’s never been around children and because of her activity levels, older kids who can take her on walks and play with would be ideal.
Bitsy loves to be showered with attention and is probably the most energetic and happiest dog you’ll ever meet. She truly deserves someone who is ready to give her the best life ever. Bitsy does wonderfully with people and her foster mother even took her to a nursing home to visit and love on other people. She’s also a dream in the car which will make adventures an absolute pleasure.
Bitsy is looking for a patient family or adopter who will be kind and give her the training she needs to thrive. She needs some work with manners, but she’s food motivated which will help kick her into working mode. She does know how to sit, stay, break and crate but can be a little stubborn so again…food will be yours and hers best friend. She’s house trained and crate trained, but still a bit of a puller on the leash. Great that she’s crate trained as she is a bit of a chewer.
Bitsy has been spayed, microchipped and is up-to-date on her vaccines and monthly preventatives. Her foster dreams that she finds her way to someone who will love her unconditionally and give her the best life ever. Of course, we truly hope the same. Could that be with you?

BREED: Barbie Girl Babe
Meet Bitsy! Bitsy first came to rescue quite small and pitiful. Her hair was falling out and she had a rash all over her body from a flea infestation. She had been living a life where she had to fend for herself along with several other dogs before she found her way into rescue. She finally received the care she desperately needed and has since grown into the most gorgeous golden girl.

SISSY - F
AGE: ~ 2 - 3 Years Old
WEIGHT: 46 lbs
BREED: Sweet Ole’ Hound Dog
Sissy and her sister Missy are two gentle girls who are looking for a soft space to land. They were both dumped at a mental care facility. They had been cared for by the staff who fed them daily which was working for the time being until the staff found out the night security guard was being incredibly cruel to them. He was kicking them and trying to scare them away. But they would always come back, likely hoping their owners would return, or in hopes of more food, or they simply didn’t know where else to go.
Even though they carry a deep sadness in their eyes, there’s a glimmer of hope that is beginning to shine through. Still, their story and initial timid nature will truly break your heart understanding all that they’ve been through. When these two feel safe they are packed with wiggles and crave your attention. They are two of the most gentle and sweetest pups ever, you can tell they are just searching for love.
They love being outdoors under the shining sun, soaking up the warmth and dreams of a new beginning. They’ll even get spurts of zoomies and chase each other around. They were fostered in a home with multiple dogs, and have proven to be fine with dogs both large and small. They have not been cat tested. We think a home with older, dog savvy kids would be ideal so they have the time needed to acclimate and finally feel at home.
We do suspect that they are trauma bonded after everything they’ve been through. We would be open to adopting these sweet sisters together, but also believe they could do well in a home of their own. Either way, they will take time (3-3-3 rule) to find their footing, but once they do, the bond that will unfold will be absolutely magical.
Sissy has been spayed, microchipped and is up-to-date on her vaccinations and monthly preventatives. Could Sissy, her sister, or even both be the sweet souls you’ve been searching for to add to your home?

WOOKIE - NM
AGE: ~ 1 Year Old
WEIGHT: 70 lbs
BREED: Wookie Bear
DOGS: Yes
CATS: No
KIDS: No
Meet Wookie! Wookie came into rescue after spending most of his young life outdoors alongside two other dogs. Nights were spent in a dog house, days in a yard and while he was cared for, he was never truly part of a family. His rescuer’s greatest hope is simple: that Wookie finally gets to experience life as someone’s dog, someone’s companion, someone’s best friend. And he deserves exactly that.
Wookie has an easygoing temperament and carries a tender, thoughtful soul. He plays well with other dogs and could likely enjoy a canine companion. However, he will need a home without cats. We also feel he would do best in a home without children. He is sweet and gentle, but he hasn’t had much exposure to typical household life and will need space, patience, and time to truly settle in and decompress.
Wookie is actually quite the gentleman. He knows how to sit, lay down, and even stay (for a short stretch, but hey, that’s a solid start!). He takes treats gently and would genuinely enjoy continued training to build confidence and polish his skills. Structure will help him thrive.
Wookie appears mostly house trained, though future adopters should remember that he hasn’t truly lived inside a home before. Accidents may happen as he adjusts, and we strongly encourage patience and positive reinforcement rather than reprimand. While Wookie is calm in his kennel, he is not crate trained.
On leash, Wookie walks fairly well. He’s still learning that car rides are safe and okay, but he’s making progress. In fact, his foster even brought him to a nursing home where he did beautifully. He was calm, kind, and gentle with everyone he met. She believes he has the makings of a wonderful support or therapy-type dog with the right guidance.
What Wookie needs most is a dog-savvy owner who understands that confidence takes time to build. He needs structure, reassurance, and someone willing to help him find his footing in this new chapter of life.
Wookie is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines and monthly preventatives. With patience, leadership, and love, this tender boy is destined to become an absolutely magical best friend. He just needs a chance.

MADDIE - SF
AGE: ~ 1 Year Old
WEIGHT: 40 lbs
BREED: Riverside Cattle Queen
Meet Maddie! Maddie’s story started by a river, where she was found after likely being abandoned. Thankfully, a kind family stepped in to give her safety. Not long after, their unfixed Pyrenees fell head over paws…and well, you know how that story goes. Three beautiful puppies later (our beloved “M” litter from the last transport), Maddie became a devoted mama.
If you remember Matthew, Mila and Michael, this is the incredible girl who raised them.
While her babies made their way north first, Maddie stayed behind to dry up and get spayed, and prepare for her own fresh start. And now? It’s finally her turn.
Maddie is incredibly sweet with a friendly, nurturing spirit. She’s an active girl, likely with some working breed roots, which means exercise and enrichment will be important to keeping her happy and fulfilled. But beneath that energy is a deeply affectionate dog who just wants connection.
Maddie loves to give hugs. She’s playful. She’s bright. And more than anything, she just wants to feel chosen. Because so much of her life has been about survival or motherhood, she’s still polishing her training skills. She’s working on crate training, seems mostly house trained (though may need a refresher in a new home), and does well with other dogs. She hasn’t met our shelter cats yet, but her gentle nature gives us hope she could do well with proper introductions.
Maddie loves to give hugs. She’s playful. She’s bright. And more than anything, she just wants to feel chosen. We think she’d likely thrive with dog-savvy kids and owners who are patient, structured, and willing to go at her pace.
Maddie has been spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on her vaccines and monthly preventatives. After being abandoned and then pouring herself into raising a litter, Maddie is ready for a family of her very own. Ready to be Maddie’s whole world?

JACK - NM
AGE: ~ 1 Year Old
WEIGHT: 13 lbs
BREED: Jack Russell Terrier Mix
Meet Jack! Jack found himself at Animal Control as an unclaimed stray and while we may never know his past, we’re pretty excited to be part of his future.
Here’s what we do know: Jack is a silly, spirited little guy with energy to spare and affection to give. He’s active, playful, and always ready for the next adventure. If you’re looking for a dog who keeps life fun and full of movement, Jack is your guy.
He does great with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine buddy to romp around with. He hasn’t been cat tested yet, but with proper introductions, we can always explore that further. We also think he’d likely do well with respectful kiddos who understand his lively personality.
Jack is crate trained and walks nicely on leash. He’s still polishing the basics, including house training, but he’s well on his way and eager to learn. With consistency and structure, he’s going to shine.
We suspect Jack is a Jack Russell Terrier mix (hence the name!), which means brains, bounce, and a whole lot of personality packed into one compact little body. He’s the perfect small-breed sidekick for someone looking for a fun-loving adventure companion.
Jack has been neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations and monthly preventatives. Jack didn’t have anyone come looking for him, but we know his forever family is out there. Could it be you?

MARGO - SF
AGE: ~ 1 Year Old
WEIGHT: 23 lbs
BREED: Scruffy XL Yorkie
Meet Margo! Margo was found on the side of the road as a stray with another dog. Both of them were safely swept into rescue and now Margo is looking for her soft place to land.
The kennel isn’t her favorite place to be. If you asked Margo where she’d rather spend her time, the answer would be simple: right next to her people. She’s the kind of girl who just wants to feel close, connected, and safe.
Margo enjoys getting her exercise and would love to bond with her future family on leash walks and outdoor adventures. Whether it’s neighborhood strolls or exploring new trails, she’s happiest when she’s moving with her person by her side.
She’s still learning what structure and stability look like, and she’ll need time to settle in and feel secure in a new home. With patience and consistency, she’s going to blossom beautifully.
Margo has done well with other dogs, though we always recommend a meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit. She hasn’t been cat tested yet, but based on her demeanor, she may do just fine. Because we don’t know her history with children, dog-savvy kids would be best.
Margo has been spayed and is up-to-date on her vaccines and monthly preventatives. If you’re looking for a small companion with big dreams, and an even bigger heart, Margo just might be your girl.

BANDIT - NM
AGE: ~ 7 - 8 Years Old
WEIGHT: 18 lbs
BREED: Tiny Triumph Terrier
Meet Bandit. Bandit is a darling little boy with the gentlest soul, but life hasn’t always been gentle with him. He’s been displaced since he was just a year old and spent much of his life confined to a crate, never truly given the chance to flourish in a normal home setting. After enduring that for so long, he was passed along again, facing the very real possibility of ending up in a high-kill shelter. Through it all, Bandit never stopped being sweet just, understandably, insecure.
During his time confined, Bandit coped the only way he knew how, chewing at the crate in stress and frustration. As a result, his teeth are worn down. It will always be a quiet reminder of what he’s endured. But if anything, it makes him even more deserving of a soft place to land and a future filled with comfort.
Since arriving in foster care, Bandit has been thriving now that his needs are finally being met. No more constant confinement. No more living life behind bars. Just fresh air, sunshine, and the freedom to be a dog. He’s learned how to use a dog door and is continuing to make progress with housetraining.
Because he wasn’t given the opportunity to learn proper routines early on, he’s still figuring things out, but he’s trying. Given his history, we do not recommend crate training for Bandit. He deserves to feel safe in open spaces, not confined ones. The good news is he is not destructive and just is seeking safety.
Bandit loves attention and would happily soak up affection all day long. We ask his future adopters to please allow him time to feel comfortable after again being thrown into another new setting. Given the instability he’s experienced, Bandit deserves that much. With patience, consistency, and reassurance, Bandit continues to grow more confident each day. Time is everything with rescue dogs and Bandit is proof that healing happens when they feel safe.
Bandit has done well with other dogs in foster, and we believe he would likely do just fine with cats. What he truly needs is a steady, loving home committed to helping him build confidence and security. Bandit has survived the hardest chapters of his story. Now he’s ready for the part where he finally gets to feel safe, wanted, and home.
Bandit has been neutered, microchipped and is up-to-date on his vaccines and monthly preventatives. Could you be the one to give this precious boy the life he’s always deserved?

BRUNO - M
AGE: ~ 2 Years Old
WEIGHT: 9 lbs
BREED: Tiny Triumph Terrier
Meet Bruno. Bruno is just a darling little boy with the softest heart and the sweetest eyes. His story hasn’t been an easy one. From a very young age, Bruno lived much of his life confined to a crate, without the chance to experience what a normal, loving home should feel like. He never truly had the opportunity to stretch his legs, soak up the sunshine, or learn the everyday rhythms of family life.
Despite everything he’s been through, Bruno’s spirit is as beautiful as ever. Since coming into foster care, he has been absolutely thriving now that his needs are finally being met. No more constant confinement. He’s enjoying the fresh air, freedom, and the simple joy of being a dog.
He learned how to use the dog door in foster and is making steady progress with housetraining. Because he didn’t grow up learning where it was safe to go, he’s still figuring it out. He’s also currently unneutered (he will be on 3/17 through our organization) with some marking tendencies so a belly band will be a helpful tool during this transition. With consistency and patience, he will absolutely learn that outside is the place to be when doing your business. Given his history, we don’t recommend crate training for Bruno. He deserves to feel safe in open spaces, not confined ones.
Bruno loves attention. Like…we mean…truly loves it. If he could soak up affection all day long, he happily would. But what he needs most is a patient family committed to building his confidence so he can feel secure even when his people aren’t right beside him. We’ve already seen remarkable improvements with Bruno but time, reassurance, and routine are everything for a rescue dog.
The good news? He is not destructive at all, has done well with other dogs in foster, and we think he would likely be just fine with cats. He simply wants a soft place to land and people who will show him that home is forever this time. Bruno is ready to finally flourish.
Bruno has been microchipped and is up-to-date on his vaccines and monthly preventatives. He will be neutered at VUCC in Dedham on March 17th making his adoption fee $750. This appointment must be honored in order to finalize the adoption. Could you be the one to give this precious boy the life he’s always deserved?

Bruno has been microchipped and is up-to-date on his vaccines and monthly preventatives. He will be neutered at VUCC in Dedham on March 17th making his adoption fee $750. This appointment must be honored in order to finalize the adoption. Could you be the one to give this precious boy the life he’s always deserved?
GLITTER - SF
AGE: ~ 11 Months Old
WEIGHT: 40 lbs
BREED: Glimmerhound
Meet Glitter! Glitter and her 3 littermates came to us after it became clear that farm life wasn’t the right fit for them. Like many dogs, they have a natural prey drive (an instinct, not a character flaw) which simply means they’re better suited for a home without small livestock. These pups are truly as sweet as can be and are ready to shine as beloved family companions.
And Glitter? She sparkles in her own quiet way. She’s the most bashful of the bunch, but we think that’s just because she knows how ridiculously adorable she is. When she pins her ears back, she looks exactly like a tiny baby seal and it’s almost too much cuteness to handle. Glitter’s gentle sweetness melts you. She’s curious, affectionate, and yes… occasionally thinks your fingers are fair game for playful puppy nibbles.
She’s already fallen in love with New England snow and approaches it with the same soft curiosity she brings to everything else in life.
Glitter is a moderately active, happy, good-natured girl who would likely do well in a home with children and may enjoy having another canine companion to help build her confidence. We’re still learning about her compatibility with cats, but we do know farm life isn’t her path.
She’s young and still learning the basics so potty training, crate training, and general manners are all part of her growing journey. Thankfully, a little patience, structure, and some tasty treats will go a long way. With love and consistency, Glitter is going to blossom into an incredible lifelong companion.
Glitter is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and monthly preventatives, and ready to start her forever chapter. Could this soft, sparkling sweetheart be the missing shimmer in your home?

SHINE - SF
AGE: ~ 11 Months Old
WEIGHT: 45 lbs
BREED: Glimmerhound
Meet Shine! Shine and her 3 littermates came to us after showing that farm life wasn’t quite their calling. Like many dogs, they have a natural prey drive (an instinct, not a flaw) which simply means they’re better suited for a different type of home environment. These pups are incredibly sweet, affectionate, and ready to be wonderful family companions.
And Shine? She absolutely lives up to her name. This girl gives the best hugs. Crouch down, gently place her paws on your shoulders, and she’ll hold on as long as you do. Shine was born to make you smile and refill your cup on the hardest days. Her love is wholehearted and joyful, and she shares it freely. She’s already decided that New England snow is magical and fully intends to enjoy every flake of it.
Shine is a moderately active, happy, good-natured girl who would likely thrive in a home with children and may enjoy having another canine companion. We’re still learning about her compatibility with cats, but we do know she’s not meant for farm life.
She’s still young and figuring things out, so potty training, crate training, and basic manners are all part of her growing journey. Thankfully, Shine is eager, food-motivated, and ready to learn. With consistency, patience, and love, she’s going to blossom into an incredible lifelong companion.
Shine is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and monthly preventatives, and fully ready for her forever family. Could this bright beauty be the light your home has been waiting for?

DAZZLE - M
AGE: ~ 11 Months Old
WEIGHT: 47 lbs
BREED: Glimmerhound
Meet Dazzle! Dazzle and his 3 littermates recently found their way to us after showing a strong interest in small livestock. Prey drive is an instinct, not a personality flaw, and it certainly doesn’t define who these pups are. These four are truly as sweet and loving as they come, they just need the right environment to shine.
And shine he does. Dazzle will absolutely razzle you with his glistening eyes and soft, soulful expression. When he spots you, his tail begins a gentle back-and-forth wag that somehow fills the whole room and your whole heart. He’s the kind of pup who grows on you quietly, but loves you loudly. He’s already discovered the magic of New England snow and seems pretty convinced it was made just for him.
Dazzle and his siblings are moderately active, happy, and wonderfully good-natured companions. We think they would thrive in a home with children and would likely enjoy another canine buddy to play with. We’re still learning about their compatibility with cats, but we do know farm life isn’t their calling.
Like all young pups, Dazzle is still learning the ropes with potty training, crate training, and basic manners so everything is a work in progress. The good news? A few treats and a little patience go a long way with this bright boy. With structure, love, and consistency, he’s destined to grow into an incredible lifelong companion.
Dazzle has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives, and ready to step into his forever home. Could this shining star be the one to light up your life?

POLARIS - M
AGE: ~ 1 Year Old
WEIGHT: 36 lbs
BREED: Barnyard Butterbean
Meet Polaris! Polaris and his siblings were left behind on a farm, abandoned and unsure of what their future would hold. Thankfully, the compassionate people living there stepped in, offering safety and giving these three the second chance they deserved.
Now, they’re simply sweet babies trying to find their footing in a world that hasn’t always felt steady. These pups are incredibly good-natured and gentle. They can be quite submissive at first, possibly a reflection of their uncertain start, but that softness comes with something beautiful: they are eager to please, deeply affectionate, and truly crave connection. They look to their people for reassurance and direction, and when they start to feel safe? Their little wiggles are almost impossibly adorable.
Polaris and his siblings are moderately active and playful, enjoying bursts of puppy fun balanced with quiet moments of cuddles. They are looking for families who can help them continue building confidence and show them what it means to feel secure and loved.
Because they haven’t had much structure early on, they will need patient, committed adopters willing to guide them through training, provide enrichment and exercise, and help them grow into well-rounded companions. With consistency, positive reinforcement, and time, these gentle souls are going to blossom beautifully.
Polaris and his siblings are microchipped and up-to-date with their vaccinations and monthly preventatives. Polaris is scheduled to be neutered through our organization at VUCC in Dedham on March 17th making her adoption fee $750. Adopters must honor this date in order to finalize the adoption.
They’ve already survived more than they should have had to. Now they’re ready for homes where they can truly shine. Could one of these wigglebugs be your perfect match?

SNAP - SF
AGE: ~ 4.5 Months Old
WEIGHT: 27 lbs
BREED: Brindlewood Bouncehounds
Meet Snap! Some stories feel like fate… and for Snap and her two siblings, that couldn’t be more true. A family was preparing to surrender their own dog because her size and energy were too much for their household. And then, almost as if destiny stepped in, three beautiful brindle puppies emerged from the woods behind their home. They didn’t just wander out. They stepped right into their second chance.
Snap has that “watchful and wise” look about her. She’s curious, thoughtful, and just a little mischievous in the best way. She’s playful and loves a good wrestling match with her siblings, but there’s something especially sweet about her softer side.
The moment she’s with her people, she leans in. Tail wiggles. Soft expression. Total cuddle mode activated. She forms quick bonds and looks to her humans for reassurance and connection. Snap is a well-balanced, affectionate pup who will thrive in a home ready to provide structure, training, exercise, and enrichment. She’s good with other dogs, cats are unknown but likely fine with proper introductions, and she would likely do well with respectful kiddos.
She’s still learning the ropes because she’s still a puppy, but her potential is endless. With consistency and love, she’s going to grow into an incredible companion. Snap is microchipped and up-to-date on vaccinations and monthly preventatives. Could this woodland wonder be the one who snaps right into your heart?

POP - M
AGE: ~ 4.5 Months Old
WEIGHT: 31 lbs
BREED: Brindlewood Bouncehounds
Meet Pop! Some stories feel like fate… and for Pop and his two sisters, that couldn’t be more true. A family was preparing to surrender their own dog to our rescue because her size and energy was too much for their household. And then, almost as if on cue, three beautiful brindle puppies appeared from the woods behind her home. They didn’t just wander out of the woods.
They walked straight into their second chance.
Just like that, Pop and his sisters Snap and Crackle quite literally popped into rescue as if they knew it was their moment to find a better life. And what a trio they are. These three are absolute dolls. Sweet, affectionate, and full of personality. Together, they are comedy gold and they could wrestle and romp for hours. But the second they’re with their people? They melt. Total cuddle bugs. Soft eyes. Wiggles. Lean-ins. They adore connection.
These are well-rounded, good-natured pups who will make wonderful family companions with the right guidance and structure. They’re good with other dogs, cats are unknown but likely fine with proper introductions, and they would likely thrive with respectful kiddos or anyone ready for a fun-loving, furry sidekick.
Of course, they are puppies which means they’ll need time, consistency, training, exercise, and enrichment to truly shine. But the investment you make in them will come back tenfold in loyalty, laughter, and love.
Pop is microchipped and up-to-date on their vaccinations and monthly preventatives. Could this Brindlewood Bouncehound be your missing piece?
