Bark Vader-In Foster

My story

Like all puppies, they'll need help learning how to be their best selves—house training, leash skills, polite greetings, and all the rest. Just as important is thoughtful socialization to new people, animals, environments, and experiences. We strongly recommend all adopters enroll in a positive reinforcement puppy class to set these pups up for success and build a strong foundation for a happy life together. If you're ready for the joys (and work!) of puppyhood, one of these little labs might just be your new best friend. Ready to Adopt? You have two options: #1- VISIT IN PERSON Come during our open adoption hours: Tuesday - Saturday,12:30 - 3:00pm. You’ll be able to meet available dogs in the shelter. (Dogs in foster care are not available for in-person visits.) #2- ADOPT REMOTELY OR PLACE A 24-HOUR HOLD** If you’re ready to adopt without meeting the dog first, or you’d like to place a non-refundable $25 hold to reserve a dog for 24 hours, just call or email us: (413) 781-4000 x 1 springfield@dakinhumane.org.
