What I Need in a Forever Home:

  • A family ready for all the fun, energy, and adventures that come with raising a Labrador puppy!
  • Dogs are welcome!
  • Children are welcome, as long as everyone is ready for a growing, energetic pup!
  • A family excited to continue my training and help me become the best boy I can be!

Hey there, future family! Gregory here, and I have a LABsolutely wonderful feeling we’re going to be best friends!

I’m a 4-month-old Labrador Retriever puppy who made the long journey from the South in hopes of finding my forever home. I’ve got a whole lot of love to give, a tail that never seems to stop wagging, and a personality that’s sure to make you smile!

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’ve never met a stranger, just a friend I haven’t played with yet! I absolutely LOVE people, and I’m always happy to make new friends, whether they have two legs or four! I’ve also done wonderfully with other dogs, and let me tell you, playing with my canine buddies is one of my favorite things in the whole wide world! If your current pup has been wishing for a younger, playful sibling to romp around with, I’m your guy! Think of all the zoomies, wrestling matches, and puppy shenanigans we could get into together!

I’ve also done well with children, which means I could make a pretty great addition to a family looking for a fun-loving furry companion. Just remember, I’m still a baby (even if I don’t stay baby-sized for long!), so I’ll need a family that’s ready for all the excitement, learning, and occasional puppy mischief that comes with raising a growing Lab!

Speaking of learning, I’ve already been working on my leash skills, and I’m doing a pretty great job, if I do say so myself! I’ve still got plenty to learn, but with some patience, consistency, and maybe a few yummy treats, I know I’ll be one smart cookie.

I’m looking for a family who will love me through all my puppy stages, celebrate my little victories, and give me plenty of opportunities to play, explore, and grow into the wonderful dog I know I can be.

So, what do you say? Are you ready to make some un-FUR-gettable memories together? Because Gregory’s ready to report for best friend duty, and I promise to bring the puppy kisses, happy wiggles, and endless love!

What I Need in a Forever Home:

  • A family ready for a young, energetic girl who loves to play
  • A playful dog sibling would be a huge plus — I absolutely love other dogs!
  • A family willing to continue my training and help me learn
  • A yard where I can play, explore, and get some of my energy out

Hi everyone, Penny here! I’m a Golden Retriever mix who is just under 2 years old, and I made the journey all the way from the South to find a family of my very own!

I’m a happy, energetic young girl with lots of enthusiasm for life. I’m looking for a family that’s ready to keep me busy with walks, playtime, adventures, and plenty of fun. The good news is that I already walk really well on leash, so I’d be happy to join you for lots of outings!

I really enjoy people and love spending time with them, but do you know what makes me extra happy? Other dogs! Playing with my canine friends might just be my favorite thing in the world. I’ve met dogs big and small, and I’ve loved them all! If you already have a playful dog at home who has been wishing for a buddy to romp around with, I could be a great match. I’d love having a dog sibling to chase, wrestle, play, and then do it all over again!

With all that energy, I’d also love to have a yard in my new home. Having a space where I can explore, sniff around, stretch my legs, and especially play with a canine sibling would be wonderful for me.

I’m still a young girl and have some things left to learn, so I’d benefit from a family that is ready to continue training and helping me work on my skills and manners. I’m eager to experience everything life has to offer — sometimes I just need a little guidance along the way!

If your dog has been asking for a fun-loving best friend and you’re looking for a sweet, energetic girl to add to the family, I think I might be just the Penny you’ve been looking for!

Breed: Golden Retriever

Age: 2 yrs.

Sex: Male

Size: 74 lbs.

Adoption Fee: $850

Learn all about me!

What I Need in a Forever Home:

  • A family ready for a big, energetic guy who is still learning his manners
  • Older children/teenagers who can handle my jumpy, mouthy play style
  • I can live with another dog — the more playful, the better!

Hi everyone, Dexter here! I’m a handsome 2-year-old Golden Retriever who made the journey all the way from the South in search of my new beginning!

If you’re looking for a laid-back couch potato… well, I might not be your guy just yet.  I’m a big, energetic, happy boy who is always ready to go, go, go! I’m still learning some of those important grown-up dog skills, and when I get excited, I can be jumpy and mouthy. I’ll need a family who understands that I’m still a work in progress and is ready to keep teaching me good manners.

One thing I definitely don’t need lessons in is loving people. I absolutely adore them! I’m so friendly that even if we just met, there’s a pretty good chance I’ll try to give you one of my signature Dexter hugs. Personal space? Never heard of it!

Since I have plenty of energy to spare, having a yard would be really beneficial for me. I’d love having my own space where I can stretch my legs, sniff around, play, explore, and just enjoy being outside. Walks and adventures will be great for me too, but a yard would give me another outlet for all that young Golden energy and a place where my family and I can play together.

I can also go home with another dog, and I’d especially love a canine sibling who enjoys playing as much as I do. The more playful, the better!

Because I’m a large guy who sometimes forgets just how big and bouncy I am, older kids or teenagers would be the best fit for me.

I may still have a few things to learn, but underneath all that goofy energy is a sweet, affectionate Golden who loves people and is ready to have some fun with his new family. If you’re looking for a lovable goofball who gives great hugs and will always keep life interesting, I might just be your guy!

Sex: Female

Size: 60 lbs.

Adoption Fee: $750

Learn all about me!

What I Need in a Forever Home:

  • A quiet, predictable home where I can settle in at my own pace
  • An adult-only home with no children
  • A patient family who will give me time and space to come out of my shell
  • A yard where I can safely explore, sniff, and enjoy some fresh air
  • I can be selective about my dog friends, so any potential canine sibling would need to be a good match

Hi friends, Miss Esse here! You may remember me by my adorable heart-shaped nose — it’s still one of my cutest features, if I do say so myself!

I originally made the long trip from Texas to YGRR and was adopted, but I recently found myself back at Yankee. Sometimes things just don’t work out quite as planned, and now everyone here is focused on finding the home that feels just right for me.

Right now, I’m also dealing with a pretty uncomfortable ear infection. I’m receiving care, and the YGRR team is working closely with their veterinarians to get to the bottom of everything and help me feel my best.

I can be a shy and cautious girl when I first meet someone, and I need a little time to decide that you’re safe and trustworthy. The best thing you can do for me is not rush me! Give me some space, let me approach you when I’m ready, and you’ll start to see what a sweet girl I really am.

Once I’m comfortable, I love affection and spending time with the people I trust. I’m looking for a family who understands that building a relationship with me may take a little patience, but that makes earning my trust even more special.

When it comes to other dogs, I can be selective about my friends. I may be able to live with the right dog after a thoughtful introduction, but I’d also be perfectly happy being your one and only.

My ideal home would be quiet and predictable, with no children, and I’d really love having a yard where I can peacefully wander around, sniff all the good smells, and enjoy being outside without feeling overwhelmed.

At 5 years old, I’m ready for a fresh start with people who will let me settle in on my own timeline. I don’t need a busy household or a packed social calendar — I’m looking for patience, kindness, and people who will appreciate the sweet girl underneath my initially shy exterior.

If you’re willing to give me a little time to blossom, I just might surprise you with how much love I have to give.

What I Need in a Forever Home:

  •  A home ready for the commitment of a Pyr puppy
  • Dogs are okay, as long as they’re comfortable with young, playful puppy energy
  • Respectful kids who understand how to be gentle and patient with a puppy

Hi friends! My name is Twix, and I’m a sweet little Pyr mix puppy looking for a family of my very own!

I’m only about 4 Months old, and my story started a little sadly. My sister, Aero, and I were found abandoned on someone’s front porch. Thankfully, a kind person took us in, and we’ve been learning all about the good life ever since.

I’m a very sweet boy, although I can be a little shy when I first meet new people. I’m getting braver every day, though, and I’m starting to come out of my shell more and more! I’ve been doing well at YGRR and with other dogs, including my sister Aero.

I’m also working hard on my leash training, and I’m doing pretty well for such a little guy! I’m still a baby, though, so my forever family will need to be ready for all the fun, learning, zoomies, and puppy antics that come with having a Pyr puppy.

I haven’t met cats or kids yet, so we’re not sure how I’ll feel about them. I could potentially live with respectful kids who understand how to be gentle with a young puppy and who are comfortable with puppy energy. I’d also do well with another dog who is happy to put up with a playful, energetic puppy brother.

I’m looking for a family who knows that a Pyr puppy is a commitment and is ready to give me the patience, training, structure, love, and attention I’ll need as I grow. I may be a little shy at first, but give me some time and I’ll show you just how sweet I really am.

I may have had a rough start, but I’m hoping the next chapter of my story is my very best one yet. Maybe it’s with you?

Alexander the Great

Breed: Golden Retriever

Age: 8 Months

Sex: Male

Size: Growing!

Adoption Fee: $850

Learn all about me!

What I’m looking for in my forever home:

  • An active family ready for a fun, energetic young Golden
  • A family committed to continuing my training
  • I could live with another playful dog
  • Teenagers are okay, but no young children
  •  A family willing to understand and work with my history of resource guarding

Hi everyone! My name is Alexander the Great, and at just 8 months old, I’m already living up to my very impressive name!

As you can see, I’m a pretty handsome guy, but I promise my personality is just as lovable. I love everyone I meet and am always ready to make a new friend. I’m a young, high-energy Golden who loves going for walks, playing with other playful dogs, and — maybe most importantly — SWIMMING! If there’s water around, count me in!

Since I’m still a young guy, I have plenty of energy and plenty left to learn. I’m looking for a family who understands that bringing home an adolescent Golden means continuing to work on training, manners, and giving me appropriate outlets for all that puppy energy. I’m smart and eager, and with some consistency and guidance, I have so much potential!

There is one important thing my future family should know about me. In my previous home, I showed some resource guarding, particularly with novel or exciting items I picked up, such as a remote. Resource guarding means that sometimes I may become worried about giving up an item I find valuable and may try to keep it from being taken away. This is something that can be managed and worked on through positive training, teaching trades, and helping me learn that giving something up often means something good is coming my way. My new family will need to be comfortable continuing to work with me on this and respecting my boundaries rather than simply taking things away from me.

Because of my history of guarding, a home with young children would not be the right fit for me, but a household with respectful teenagers would be okay.

At the end of the day, I’m still a young Golden with a whole lot of love, fun, and potential packed into one handsome package. With a family willing to give me the exercise, training, and guidance I need, I think I’m going to make one great addition to the right home.

After all… they don’t call me Alexander the Great for nothing!

Breed: Golden Retriever

Age: 6 yrs.

Size: 83 lbs.

Adoption Fee: $650

Learn all about me!

What I Need in a Forever Home:

  • Another confident dog in the home to help show me the ropes
  • A securely fenced-in yard — I’m still timid and can spook easily
  • A quieter, patient household where I can settle in at my own pace
  • No young children, as too much noise and activity can be overwhelming for me
  • A family ready to give me plenty of love, patience, and encouragement

Hi, I’m Isabelle, a 6-year-old Golden Retriever with a gentle heart and a whole new world ahead of me!

I came to YGRR from a puppy mill in Ohio, so I didn’t get to experience all the normal things a dog should while growing up. Because of that, I can be a little nervous and unsure when something is new. But I’m learning every day — and I’ve already come such a long way since I first arrived!

One really great thing about me is that I like people! I may need a little confidence when we first meet, but once I realize you’re a friend, I tend to warm up pretty quickly. Underneath my shy exterior is a very sweet girl who is starting to discover just how nice people, attention, and affection can be.

I would really love to have another confident dog in my forever home. Having a canine friend around would help me learn the routine, show me that new things aren’t so scary, and give me some extra confidence as I adjust to family life.

I should also mention that I’m currently carrying a few extra Golden pounds! I could benefit from losing a little weight, so gentle exercise, appropriate portions, and eventually some nice walks as my confidence grows will help me get back to a healthier weight.

Since I’m still timid and can spook easily, a securely fenced yard is a must for me. I’d also be happiest in a quieter home without young children, where things are a little more predictable and I’m given the time I need to feel safe.

I may not walk into your home knowing exactly how to be a family dog, but I’m learning! All I need is someone who will be patient with me, celebrate my little victories, and let me blossom at my own pace.

I’ve already come so far. Maybe my next big step will be finding you.

Breed: Poodle Mix

Age: 6 mos.

Sex: Male

Size: 44 lbs.

Adoption Fee: $600

Learn all about me!

Rocky is available for adoption with our friends at Baypath Humane Society. If you are interested in him, please reach out to Available Dogs – Baypath Humane Society of Hopkinton

Meet Rocky! 🐾

Rocky is a big, goofy puppy right in the middle of adolescence, with a huge personality, a smart brain, and so much love and enthusiasm for life! He is sweet, silly, playful, and always ready for some fun. Despite everything he has been through, Rocky has maintained an incredible joy for life and trust in people.

Rocky hasn’t gotten to have the typical puppyhood he deserved. He has spent months dealing with injuries, surgery, recovery, and lots of necessary rest, meaning he has missed out on many of the adventures, experiences, and training opportunities most puppies get along the way. Now, he is eager to make up for lost time! Please speak with our staff to learn more about Rocky’s medical history, recovery, and what he may need moving forward.

Rocky is an active, energetic boy who absolutely loves to play. Frozen Kongs, lick mats, chews, and rope toys are some of his favorites, and he is the kind of smart dog who will benefit from having plenty of fun ways to keep both his body and brain busy. He has also met other dogs and was very excited to make friends, greeting them appropriately, although his recovery limited how much actual playtime he could have.

Because Rocky has missed some important puppy experiences, he is still learning how to handle all of his excitement. Sometimes the world feels like a lot, and those big adolescent feelings can come out as barking, jumping, or mouthiness. He’ll thrive with a dog-experienced adopter who can give him positive direction, consistency, training, and plenty of appropriate outlets for his energy.

Rocky would do best with teens or older, and a fenced yard would give him a wonderful space to play and practice his skills as he continues gaining confidence.

This sweet boy has spent enough of his puppyhood on the sidelines. Rocky is ready to learn, explore, play, make up for lost time, and finally enjoy all the fun that comes with being a big puppy! He just needs someone who sees the wonderful dog underneath all that adolescent enthusiasm and is excited to help him become his very best self.

What I’m looking for in my forever home:

  • An active family ready to keep up with my energy!
  • A home without young children — I can be jumpy and mouthy when I get excited
  • A yard where I can run, play, and get my zoomies out would be a big plus!
  • A family committed to continuing my training and helping me work on my manners
  • Playful dogs are ok!

Hi, I’m Truman!

I’m a handsome 4-year-old black Lab with a big personality, lots of energy, and even more love to give!

I came to YGRR after being found as a stray and brought to Boston Animal Control. No one knows exactly what my life looked like before, but when I arrived, I was definitely on the skinny side. The wonderful people at YGRR are helping me put on some much-needed weight and making sure I’m getting everything I need to feel my best!

One of my absolute FAVORITE things in the world is people. I’m a super sweet, social guy who loves being around my humans and being part of whatever they’re doing. If you’re looking for a dog who will happily join you on adventures and then soak up all the attention afterward, I might be your guy!

I also enjoy other dogs, especially ones who like to play as much as I do. I have plenty of enthusiasm to go around, so a playful canine buddy could be a lot of fun!

I’ll admit, I’m still polishing up my manners. Sometimes I get so excited that I forget all four paws belong on the floor, and I can get a little mouthy during play. I’m working on it! I’m looking for a family who will be patient, consistent, and willing to continue my training so I can become the very best version of myself.

Underneath all that goofy Lab energy is an incredibly sweet boy who just wants a family of his own. Give me some exercise, structure, training, good meals, and lots of love, and I promise to give you one loyal, fun-loving companion in return.

Ready for some Truman-sized love and adventure? I’m waiting to meet you!

Roo is available for adoption with our friends at Baypath Humane Society. If you are interested in her, please reach out to Available Dogs – Baypath Humane Society of Hopkinton

Meet Roo!

Roo is a stunning, incredibly smart girl who forms strong bonds with the people she trusts. Once you’re in her circle, she’s affectionate, silly, playful, and loves snuggles, pets, and belly rubs. Her foster family describes her as simply “so easy to love.”

Roo is active, food motivated, and loves to learn. She already knows several cues and has been doing great with clicker training and positive reinforcement. She’s also a toy fanatic who loves balls, sticks, rope toys, puzzles, and zoomies. And her absolute favorite? Water! Give Roo a kiddie pool and she’ll leap right in, chase her toys, and even blow bubbles underwater while fishing for a ball.

Roo is looking for a quiet, adult-only home with an experienced adopter who can give her structure, predictability, and time to build trust. She can be sensitive and reactive to unfamiliar people, dogs, sounds, and movement, so a home with few visitors and continued training will help her thrive.

Roo is a true homebody who is happiest enjoying the comfort and predictability of her own space, rather than joining her family for trips, outings, or travel. She is fully house trained and would love a fenced yard where she can safely run and play. Roo needs to be the only pet in her home, with no dogs or cats.

Roo isn’t looking for everyone—she’s looking for her people. For someone willing to earn her trust, this special girl has so much love, laughter, and personality to share
