Meet Athena! Once a shelter favorite down South, Athena is now ready to find her forever family in CT! She was so scared and timid when she first got to the shelter but has since opened up and is now only cautious of new people for a few minutes until warming up! She loves when people get down to her level and talk to her. She will start wiggling her whole back end and nudge you to have her head scratched. Athena is a dog, cat, and kid-friendly girl who just wants to cuddle and run around in the backyard! She will need training with how to walk on a leash, as it is still very confusing to her. Therefore, it may be best she have a fenced-in yard to get some exercise in while she learns that on-leash walks are fun! Athena absolutely loves toys and is already excited to see all of the new ones waiting for her in her new home! Playing with other dogs is one of her favorite activities, so if she is adopted to a family with no other dogs, she would like to be socialized by some visits to the dog park or even an afternoon at doggy day care once in a while! Wherever she ends up, she will bring her new family lots of love! If you would like more information about Athena, contact Katie at KatieDoubleDog@gmail.com

Breed: Great Pyrenees mix Age: 2 years old Weight: 85 lbs. Good with dogs: Selective Good with cats: No Good with kids: Yes Energy Level: Medium Available for Adoption: Now (Currently accepting applications) Your application must be approved prior to meeting any dog. Meet Belle! As a girl who believes she is a true princess, she needed a princess name! She is a stunning little lady with a sweet demeanor and a lovely personality! Belle is one big girl, weighing in at 85lbs., but despite her size, she is as gentle as can be! During the first few minutes of meeting, you will notice Belle is on the shy side and may keep her distance, which is very typical as being reserved is something her breed is known for. However, after a few minutes, she will warm up and will want to be pet and shown affection. Then after a few days, she will be running around the yard playing with her squeaky toys! Her perfect family would be ready to show her lots of TLC while she settles into her new home, and would be somewhat experienced or at least familiar with her breed. Belle has many stereotypical Great Pyrenees traits, including being independent yet loyal. She is looking for a yard to play in that is fenced-in to keep her safe from wanting to explore too far. Because of Belle's more serious side she would do best with a dog that isn't overly playful and is more like her in temperament. If you would like more information on Belle, please contact Debbie at DebbieDoubleDog@gmail.com.

Sometimes, initially, I may be a little reticent around strangers, but I quickly overcome this especially when they agree that I am in deed, adorable! I am eagerly waiting for my fur-ever home with a loving family of my own. In the meantime I am learning about crate training, practicing puppy politeness and exploring the big wonderful world of my foster mom’s backyard.

Meet Konga! She was brought to the vet down South where her owner wanted to have her put down due to her eye bulging out. Luckily, she was surrendered and signed over to rescue. Konga was seen by the hospital where she did end up losing her eye. But have no fear - Konga does not let her loss affect her! She is still playful, happy-go-lucky, and very loving! She is such a sweet girl who loves to be around people. She easily makes friends with dogs of any size and age, but she does tend to play on the rougher side. Therefore, if adopted to a family with other four-legged friends, they should be able to handle her play style. Konga walks very well on leash and is looking forward to many walks with her new family in the near future! So far, she has been trained to potty on puppy pads, but is not fully housebroken. Her family should expect to have some work to do in the potty training department. Konga is ready to find her forever home!

Breed: Catahoula mix Age: 1 year old Weight: 50 lbs Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: No Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: Medium Available for Adoption: 9-28-19 (Currently accepting applications) Your application must be approved prior to any meeting. Meet Kylie! She is a super sweet, people-loving, cuddly girl who thinks she is a lap dog! Kylie may take a little while to get comfortable around new people, but once she does, watch out! She will be following you around nonstop and wanting to always be by your side no matter what. Chewing on/playing with toys is her favorite activity and she will keep herself busy for quite some time doing so. Kylie loves the company of other dogs and would be so happy with a four-legged sibling! She will not hesitate to chase a cat, so a feline-free home is required. When tested with children, Kylie passed with flying colors! However, a home with very young children who may be louder than Kylie is comfortable with, especially during the transition period, would probably not be the best fit. While you are away at work for the day, Kylie will be happy in her crate with a Kong and perhaps a Nylabone to chew on! When you return, she will want nothing more than to take a leisurely stroll around the block and then curl up next to you on the couch afterwards! If you would like more information about Kylie, contact Dorothy at DorothyDoubleDog@gmail.com

He is very intelligent and thrives off of routine, structure, and proper training. On the more casual side, he is also goofy, playful, food-driven, and will not hesitate to chase after a squirrel or bird! Patches loves kids and just wants to play, but he does tend to roughhouse a bit more than very young children are able to handle, such as playful mouthing or ankle-biting during chase. He has been getting the hang of doing his business outside, though his family should expect to follow through with potty training as he is not 100% there yet. Patches does excellent walking on-leash and you will be able to tell that he knows he has mastered this skill, as he will proudly prance alongside you during your afternoon strolls.

Priscilla is looking for a family who will have the time to spend with her and show her that she is loved! If you would like more information about Priscilla, contact Katie at KatieDoubleDog@gmail.com

Got a mighty long ways to travel He's gotta cover many miles of gravel He's gotta long long ways to go And if he don't make it There ain't gonna be no show So give the roadie Give the roadie Give the roadie song He climbed to Kingdom Come He's up to see the sun Get a roadie Get a roadie Get a roadie song. - from 'The Roadie Song' by Aarone Neville Roadie is a gorgeous 4 month old Catahoula/Hound mix weighing 32 lbs. We think he's gonna be a big boy when full grown, possibly 60 to 80 lbs. His eyes are brown and blue...that is one is brown and one is blue which is pretty rare and quite striking. Roadie is a very smart pup who is already house trained by way of a doggie door leading to a fenced in yard. He will need a couple of days to learn new routines in a non doggie door home. He is learning some basic commands like sit. He is also crate trained but like most pups he'd just as soon be out and about. Roadie loves to play fetch with a tennis ball and he is always good for a game of tug with his rope toys. This adorable boy is great with kids and other dogs but we can't vouch for cats as there are none in his foster home so a meet and greet would be needed for kitties. He's a fun loving affectionate pooch who loves to paly in the water, get his ears scratched, and snuggle up on the couch. It's all good with this youngster. Roadie is already neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, current on preventatives, and micro chipped. He's ready to take his place as your very own roadie and sidekick. All you need to do is make him a forever member of the family in a loving forever home...and maybe sing the roadie song. Contact Sharon: ddogresq@aol.com

Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix Age: 10 years old Weight: 62 pounds God with Dogs: Yes Good with Kids: Yes Good with Cats: No Energy Level: Medium Sabir is a sweet senior boy with a lot of life yet to live! Often among the saddest things we see in rescue are the older dogs who are abandoned by their owners. Poor Sabir was relinquished to a high kill shelter at nine years old because his family could no longer keep him. Sabir was very confused and of course depressed to find himself in a loud shelter with many other dogs in an unfamiliar environment, far from anything he had known before. This sweet boy also has some major dental issues from years of neglect that have left him not feeling up to par. We are in the process of addressing his needs, all of which will be completed prior to adoption. Sabir is an energetic senior, he does well with other dogs that are not aggressive or overly dominant with him, he rides well in the car, and loves to play fetch. He knows how to 'Sit' and take treats very politely. We are seeking a loving family that will dote on this sweet boy and include him in activities, making him a part of the family and showing him the kind of love he so deserves. If interested in Sabir, please contact Summer at: summer.doubledogrescue@gmail.com

There is no greater love Than what I feel for you No greater love, No heart so true There is no greater thrill Than what you bring to me No sweeter song Than what you sing to me You're the sweetest thing I have ever known And to think that You are mine alone. -from 'There Is No Greater Love' Sammy Davis Jr. You would be hard pressed to find a greater love or more loyal friend and companion than our amazing boy Sammy. Sammy is a 2 year old Cur mix weighing 60 lbs and every single ounce is pure joy. Like so many homeless dogs, Sammy ended up in doggy prison. Well we bailed him out and he has just shined a light on every one he meets. Unfortunately, due to neglect, Sammy came into rescue with heartworms. So of course he went to the doggie hospital where he went through his heartworm treatment and did great! Sammy is both house and crate trained but honestly crating is not needed because he is so well behaved and has completely been trusted with full run of the home even when his foster parents are gone. Sammy is an awesome boy who is amazing with kids, other dogs, and he is also good with cats. Sammy already knows sit, shake, and lay down. He is a very smart pooch who is willing to learn and very eager to please his people. He loves to go for his daily walks so he will need a family who is willing to commit to a little daily adventure to help keep him healthy and happy. Sammy is already neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, current on preventatives, an micro chipped. The only wonderful thing missing in his life now is his very own loving forever family and home. You would be hard pressed to find a better friend, a greater love, or a heart so true. So if you have been searching for and looking for an awesome pooch who loves to cuddle, take walks, and has impeccable manners then here he is...Sammy! Contact Sharon: ddogresq@aol.com

Breed: Catahoula mix Age: 1 year old Weight: 50 lbs. Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: No Good with kids: Yes Energy Level: Medium Available for Adoption: Now (Currently accepting applications) Your application must be approved prior to meeting any dog. Meet Sawyer! He can be quite the shy guy, but likes to follow the lead of other dogs and quickly gains confidence when around them! Do not let his timidness fool you - this boy is full of love, playfulness, and has a huge heart! Sawyer lived with his Southern foster mom before coming to CT and he quickly became her favorite foster pup ever. She watched as his personality opened up and he began to discover what toys were, how to play, how to keep himself occupied by chewing on bones, and sunbathing! Though Sawyer is extremely gentle and does excellent with kids (he loves when they give him belly rubs!), we suggest that he go to a home without very young children, as his transition into a new home should be free from lots of loud noises and quick, shuffling feet. Sawyer has found kitties to be very interesting… too interesting! He requests a feline-free home, please! Not only does this boy deserve a chance, he deserves a home with more love than he knows what to do with! If you would like more information about Sawyer, please contact Sarah at SarahDoubleDog@gmail.com

Meet Shyla! She and her brother, Shadow, came to the shelter so terrified and screaming. Now, it would be impossible to guess that this sweet girl was once so scared. She is so happy, friendly, and playful! In fact, it is so hard to even get photos of her because she rarely stops bouncing around! Shyla is excellent with other dogs and has been tested with cats and did very well, which is not a shock considering her age and temperament. However, who Shyla really gravitates towards is children! She knows they are the ones who give her the most attention so she will immediately go up to a child for cuddles before she would go up to an adult. She would be an amazing family dog and would be as loyal as they come. You must meet this sweet girl! If you would like more information about Shyla, contact Wendy at doubledogwendy@Gmail.com.

Meet Sir Isaac Newton! He is a 3-year-old Cattle Dog and Shepherd mix who is looking for a family to call his own! Newton loves to be around people, but is a bit of a shy guy at first. Poor Newton came to the shelter as a stray and it really took a toll on his initial bubbly personality. He became confused, scared, and went from the always happy boy to the always timid boy. But now, he is still a little shy at first, but quickly warms up and becomes best friends with everyone! Playtime with other dogs is his favorite way to release some energy and get his daily exercise in. He has not had any interest in squeaky toys or tennis balls, but perhaps he will find a favorite toy when his new family takes him shopping for the first time. Newton does the most adorable full-body wiggle when he sees a familiar face. He will surely show you every time you walk through the door after a long day at work. If you would like more information on Sir Isaac Newton, please contact Rose at RoseDDR9@gmail.com.

He enjoys the company of dogs and would not mind sharing his new home with a doggy sibling! He would prefer a cat-free home, as he does like to chase them.

Breed: Black Lab/Pharaoh Hound mix Age: 6 months old Weight: 32 lbs Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Yes Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: High Available for Adoption: 9-28-19 (Currently accepting applications) Your application must be approved prior to any meeting. Meet Sully! He is your typical puppy in every way! At only 6 months old, Sully is a playful and energetic pup who likes to run around and explore everywhere he can! He loves toys and hopes to have many new ones in his forever home! Sully has been doing so well with training. He has already made progress with potty training and crate training, though his new family should expect some regression during any transition period. He is highly motivated by food which helps tremendously during training, as he will sit for a treat and should learn other basic commands rather quickly if treats are the incentive! Sully does not require a home with another dog, but if he happens to be the only dog, he would be so happy if he were at least able to socialize with other four-legged friends as he loves them so much! Being the high-energy boy he is, Sully should be adopted to a family who is home frequently so that he is not left crated all day while his people are away. This absolutely adorable sweetheart will make you laugh with his giant ears, but will make you fall in love with his wonderful personality! If you would like more information about Sully, contact Rose at RoseDDR9@gmail.com

Meet Sweetie! What a fitting name for this adorable girl because she is just such a SWEETIE! At only 8 - 9 months old, Sweetie is looking for a family who will not be gone very long hours at work every day, as she is still learning her basic obedience, potty training, and what it is like to be in a home as opposed to a shelter. She would love to get her daily exercise in by going on walks with you and maybe even hikes in the future! Though not fully grown, Sweetie will not get too much bigger and will remain what we consider a medium-sized dog - perfect for almost any home! She enjoys playing with her doggy friends and did not care about the kitties at all when tested with cats. Whether her new family is a large one with children, a single owner, or a couple looking to add a new best friend to their household, all Sweetie really cares about is getting plenty of love and attention! If you would like more information about Sweetie, contact Scott at ScottDoubleDog@gmail.com

He has one brown eye and the other eye is both brown and blue. He currently weighs 33 lbs and will probably be anywhere from 60 to 80 lbs when full grown. Taz is a lovable, affectionate, playful pup who loves to play fetch, get his ears scratched, snuggle up and gives great hugs. He has learned a couple of basic commands and will gladly learn more with further training. He is doing a great job with his house training by way of a doggie door leading to a fenced in yard. He will need a couple of extra days of training to learn new routines in a home without a doggie door. Taz, although not a big fan, is crate trained. He would much prefer to be out and about which will be fine once he understands boundaries and all the do's and don'ts in his new home. He is great with kids and loves playing with other dogs. We are not sure how he feels about cats as there are none in his foster home. Taz is already neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, current on preventatives, an micro chipped. He's ready to make his way into the lives of his loving forever family and home. This sweet little guy is just waiting to show you all the love he has in his heart so all he needs now is...you!
