About Panther

Panther is a 14-week-old black mixed-breed pup who’s ready to find a home outside of Massachusetts or Rhode Island. He’s got the classic Labrador spirit—a bright spark in a small, sweet package—but his adult size can only be guessed at, so be prepared for a surprise there. Panther is being fostered in Mississippi for now and will travel up north once adopted, giving him a true rescue’s journey from the south. Panther gets along well with cats, dogs, and children, making him a flexible fit for families who already have pets or little ones running around. His adoption fee covers his neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, vet check, microchip, and transport. Panther’s story is part of a broader mission to help keep southern dogs out of high-risk shelters, and he’s one of the lucky few with a shot at a better life. As a fun fact, Panther is a Pisces—expect sensitivity and loyalty from this little water sign. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
