This is Cookie, a 3 year old spayed female black Labrador. She is now looking for FOREVER HOME to enjoy her life in her permanent home with lots of love and fun too .. Cookie is a lab with energy and she loves to play fetch with the ball in the yard and go for walks - she loves to be outside and play and have fun. She does well with other dogs. She is house trained, gets a little excited when she knows she is going outside, may have little to none accidents but nothing that cannot be worked on she is very workable.

Cookie needs a ACTIVE HOUSEHOLD that can take her just about everywhere possible SECURELY, even to work if you are allowed too and again Securely.

You will get any recent history paper work of Cookie's and she is micro chipped that will have to be CHANGED for sure. Due to a family situation Cookie needs to go and find a good loving active PERMANENT home with a NEW BEGINNING AND TO CALL HER OWN.. !! Cookie is located in the South Shore area.

If your interested in Cookie please email us directly at:

THIS IS THE WAY OF THE WORLD - THE REAL FUTURE !!! of these circuses

https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=25856748540588823&id=100000410930869&rdid=n8sm5TqymlvUVKNE

A circus in Germany has found a way to keep the magic without keeping animals in cages.

Circus-Theater Roncalli stopped using live animals and brought in life-sized holograms instead.

So when kids look into the ring now, they can still see elephants, horses, and other animals appear, move, and “run” across the tent. But no animal has to travel for it. No animal has to perform.

It’s a weirdly emotional switch.

Because the circus vibe is still there. The lights. The music. The crowd holding their breath.

Just not the stress, the pacing, the cramped transport, or the fear behind the scenes.

The holograms are built using 3D animation and projection tech, with projectors placed around the ring so the images can be seen from all sides.

And the reason is simple: Roncalli has said it no longer feels right to put real animals in the ring.

It’s not perfect, and it doesn’t fix everything in the world.

But it’s one of those changes that makes you think, maybe we can keep what we love, and still choose compassion.

Wanted to address this: We are not using Petfinder any longer. Petfinder for some reason changed there web site program to make it faster and efficient, well its anything but that. ( the older version web site is the same as this new version ?? who knows)

On our Massachusetts Humane Society web site we have a page that says "adopted happy paws" animals that were adopted out and that link was connected to the petfinder site with the link "available to adopt" as well. However Petfinder has LOST ALL OF OUR OLDER PICTURES OF ANIMALS that we had on that page and adopted through out the years and looks like they lost them and cannot be recovered.!! ugh .....

( we are NOT the only animal shelter/Orgranization that has had terrible experiences with this new system and petfinder) That being said we do not want to take any more chances posting animals and other info on petfinder. That being said we will seek out other resources and as I say if its not broken don't fix it.
Thank You for your attention to this, and moving forward.
