Each week Mark will help feature an adoptable critter of the week to help them find their new forever home faster from the Monadnock Humane Society on Route 10 in Swanzey.
Mark’s Country Critter of the Week is proudly powered by WW Building Supply!
This week’s Country Critter:
Lola
5-year-old female, tan & black German Shepherd
Lola is a 5-year-old German Shepherd who’s been through a lot and is starting to find her footing with the right support. She came to us with significant hair loss and skin inflammation, and she’s on the mend now — she loves to show off her new, fuzzy, puppy coat!
Lola is a sensitive, thoughtful dog who didn’t have many life experiences early on, so new things can feel overwhelming to her. With training and patience she’s learning calmer ways to handle the world around her—like choosing to move away from something scary instead of reacting. She’ll benefit from a home that understands she’ll likely need ongoing behavioral support and is committed to continuing her progress.
Once she feels safe, Lola’s playful and bright personality really shines through. She loves to play fetch, happily drops the ball for you, and already knows cues like sit and shake. Because she can be reactive and hasn’t had much positive experience with other animals, Lola may best suited as the only pet in the home. We believe that she could be a good fit for homes with children, with proper introductions. With the right family, she has so much potential to keep growing into a loyal, fun, and deeply bonded companion. Are you Lola’s fresh, new start? Come meet her during our open hours, Thursday-Sunday from 11a-3p.
5-year-old spayed female, Pitbull mix
Princess is a 5-year-old pitty mix who’s equal parts sweet, loyal, and affectionate. She’s a people-loving girl who enjoys spending time with her family and has done well with kids. Princess is friendly with strangers overall, though she can be a little cautious around men at first and may need a bit of time to warm up before showing her full goofy, loving personality.
She previously lived with another dog and did well with him, but her experience with animals outside of her home is very limited. Because of her history, we strongly recommend Princess be the only dog in the home so she can relax and enjoy being the center of attention.
In return, she’ll be a devoted companion who’s happy to soak up love, attention, and cozy time with her people.
If you think your home needs a little royalty, come meet Princess during our open hours, Thursday-Sunday from 11a-3p.
Aries
Male | Mixed Breed | Black & Tan | 2 Years 3 Months
Aries is a fun-loving 2-year-old hound mix with a big personality and an adventurous spirit. This playful, energetic pup loves splashing in the water, going for car rides, and making new dog friends. He’d thrive with an active family that enjoys getting outside and keeping him engaged. Aries is both potty trained and crate trained, making him an easy addition to a home routine, and he does well with other dogs, though his excitement to greet them can lead to some barking or pulling on leash.
He also likes cats, but his enthusiastic and vocal approach may not always be appreciated. Aries has no known history with children and would benefit from plenty of enrichment and activities to keep his curious mind and active body busy. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s always ready for the next adventure, Aries could be the perfect match!
Come meet him during our open hours, Thursday-Sunday from 11a-3p.
The Monadnock Humane Society is located at 101 W. Swanzey Road (off Route 10) in Swanzey, NH. Visiting hours are Thursday through Sunday, 11am-3pm. Click here to contact them.
