Adopt a Terrier in Massachusetts

Terrier mixes vary widely but tend to share the bold, energetic, tenacious temperament the group is known for. Many are pulled from Southern shelters where small mixed terriers are abundant. A rescued terrier mix is typically scrappy, smart, and deeply loyal.

Massachusetts has a highly active rescue dog community, with most local shelters running primarily on transport from Southern states. Boston, Worcester, and Springfield are major hubs. A rescued Massachusetts dog has usually traveled north through one of these well-established transport networks.
