Click apply to start the adoption process. A fenced yard is required, and only local adoptions are being considered at this time. Baby Ray is an irresistibly sweet and playful mixed breed puppy with a lively curiosity and a huge heart. He delights in toys and enjoys making new friends, bounding through each day with enthusiasm. After energetic play, he’s happiest curling up for a nap, ready to soak up all the cuddles and affection offered. As a young pup, Baby Ray is at the beginning of his journey learning house training, manners, and the building blocks of being an excellent companion. With intelligence and eagerness to please, he just needs a patient, loving family willing to help him build confidence and discover the joys of a secure, happy home. In return, he promises a lifetime of loyalty, puppy kisses, and endless tail wags. There’s a memorable story behind his name and rescue: for nearly three weeks, rescuers tried to catch this clever little puppy who was always a few steps ahead. He finally gave in to the temptation of rotisserie chicken laced with Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce, sealing the deal on both his rescue and his name. Now that he’s safe, he’s ready to find the forever family he truly deserves. Baby Ray is available for pre-adoption because he still has a few vet visits left to finish his puppy vaccines. Adoption now requires commitment to bring him to scheduled appointments at the partnering vet in Somerville until his vaccines are complete. All rescues receive comprehensive veterinary care before adoption, including health screenings, vaccinations, spaying/neutering, microchipping, and local guarantees. Please note: if adopting a dog, a fenced yard and home inspection are generally required. Veterinary reference checks and meet-and-greets with existing pets are part of the adoption process, and renters must confirm pet policies with landlords. By adopting Baby Ray, you’ll give a deserving puppy the loving home he’s been waiting for, and gain a loyal companion eager to share his joyful spirit. Plus, with a Capricorn birth date of January 8, Baby Ray is likely to be especially determined and charming! Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
