CHARLOTTE is a Siamese mix with a bob tail. She’s about 3 years old. She is a beautiful cat but she doesn’t show well at the shelter because she dislikes other cats. We know that in a home she has an entirely different personality if someone would give her a chance.

PENNY is a beautiful 5-year-old boxer/mastiff mix. She is very low key and would do great with older children and other dogs.
KEEBLER is an adorable 2-year-old female Australian cattle dog. Once she gets to know you she is the most loyal, loving dog you can find. She needs exercise and structure, so an active owner with some dog experience will be best. She loves to run in the yard and has a great time herding the others into a small group and then letting them scatter again. The shelter staff adores her and think she is awesome.
ELMER is a wonderful 2-year-old German shorthaired pointer mix. Elmer is a very special boy. He was spotted in the woods in Western Massachusetts for several weeks before finally being caught. Elmer was in very rough shape. He was fighting a bad infection, completely emaciated and loaded with ticks.
That’s not the worst of it. Elmer, unfortunately, also has heartworm.
Baypath needs a special person to help Elmer through his heartworm treatment in the comfort of a home. This boy is SUCH a sweetheart. He does not have a mean bone in his body. He is skittish and shy with humans, but does wag his tail when he sees them. He absolutely LOVES the company of other dogs. He would do so well in a multi-dog household. He must go to a home with a fenced in yard since this guy loves to be outside. His favorite place to hide is in the bushes. Elmer is housetrained.
CHARA is a gorgeous 1-year-old Lab/smooth collie mix. She loves people and other dogs and walks great on a leash.

NOODLE is a wonderful 2-year-old male shepherd/terrier mix. He is fun-loving, energetic guy. He loves to play fetch and go for walks. Noodle is looking for someone who will give him lots of love and spend time playing with him.
MISSY is a sweet 4-year-old greyhound/pointer mix. Missy loves people and bonds quickly and easily. She is very loving to humans but would do best in a home without other animals. Missy’s story is very sad her previous owner is unable to care for her and provide her with what she needs.
