Meet Ace! Though he has a heartbreaking past, Ace still has lots of love to give and trusts people despite what they’ve done to him. He was surrendered to the shelter with the other dog he lived with named King. Ace and King were severely neglected. Both extremely emaciated with mange, they were quite literally just skin and bones. As you can see by his transformation, Ace received tons of TLC and is now a happy, healthy, and beautiful boy! Ace is very friendly and loving! He gets along very well with everyone, including dogs, cats, kids! He is around 3 to 4 years old so he has many, many more years ahead of him to experience what the love of a family, a bed to sleep in, and a warm home feels like. He may be young, but Ace is not super high energy and in fact he is more laid-back than you would expect from a youngster his age. However, he is very excited to go on walks and chew on his very own toys. He will just want to cuddle up on the couch with you for an afternoon nap afterwards! Ace deserves an extra special family and we will make sure he finds them! If you would like more information on Ace, please contact Michelle at MichelleDoubleDog@gmail.com.

Breed: Hound/Shepherd mix Age: 1 year old Weight: 35 lbs Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Yes Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: Medium Available for Adoption: Now (Currently accepting applications) Your application must be approved prior to any meeting. 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 and they help her break out of her shell, so her new family must have a doggy sibling. 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.

Betty is a loving girl that has learned leaps and bounds since entering her foster home. She is doing very well on learning how to be a inside pet and a best friend to the humans in her life. She is great with other dogs and cats and will play with both if allowed to. She loves squeaky toys and will be a great dog for any adventure. We tend to think that Betty will be about 45 to 50 lbs full grown and will be a wonderful addition to any home. From her foster mom: Betty loves toys. She will tug stuffed animals and tennis balls on a string what I see in her that is perfect for search work (small town) is her tenacity to get to the toy no matter who has it or where it is. She is small and agile. ( The older I get, the more I appreciate small high drive dogs) No fear of plank or tunnels which are on the type 2 test. I will get her on rubble this weekend. She gets along with other dogs and learns quickly. What I like about her is she has an on off switch. Easy to handle. Not people or dog aggressive. She is perfect for pet therapy or search and rescue work. Too high drive for service work. If someone drops a toy in front of her, she goes for the toy. Betty is house trained and she knows basic commands, SIT, DOWN, STAY and COME. I whistle and she comes. She has been learning commands by clicker training. The clicker was loaded, and Betty will offer behaviors to get reinforced. She is very affectionate and likes to cuddle. If you would like to make Betty part of your family, please email kgorman2989@gmail.com

After the walk, Brady is content to lay on the floor and chew a bone or spend time with his family. This pup also gets along stupendously well with other dogs, so he would appreciate having a doggy sibling or friend to play with! He spends a lot of his time wrestling with his foster sibling. A fenced-in yard would be perfect for him to run around in! Additionally, Brady can use a doggy door and likes sunbathing on the porch. Squirrels and rabbits greatly excite him, but he is untested with cats. When given a treat or at meal time, Brady is extremely gentle and well-behaved. He also has an enormous heart, so he will develop a connection with your family in an instant! His favorite activities are snuggling, resting his head on members of his family, and belly rubs. Do not be surprised if he wants to cuddle up with you in bed! Due to this bond, he will need owners that will dedicate the time to properly introduce him to strangers who come into his house, as he is protective and shows guarding behavior towards unannounced visitors. Brady does not show this behavior towards anything else, and once comfortable with strangers, he is extremely pleasant. With the proper care, training, and love, Brady can be an amazing dog that is sure to bring happiness to your family!

Jerry Lee loves people and after his initial shyness wears off, he is ready to make friends with everyone. He is looking for a home where he will not be left alone for long hours every day, as this handsome fella needs plenty of exercise and playtime. However, he would be willing to reconsider if his family were to bring him to doggy day care while they are working a long shift! On-leash walks are still a little confusing to Jerry and he will need help gaining confidence during neighborhood strolls, as he will freeze when something spooks him. He would love a fenced-in yard to run around in and burn off some energy while not having to worry about that very confusing leash all the time. Make this adorable boy a part of your family and you will not regret it! If you would like more information about Jerry Lee, contact Katie at KatieDoubleDog@gmail.com

Is this karma can you hear me My heart is singin' Everything inside i wanna say I think about you every single day Is this karma Come and dance this is karma My heart is singing Everything inside i wanna say Every step I'm taking day by day When the universe connects us I know this is karma. - from 'Karma' by Tiziano Ferro Having this Karma in your life would be a very very good thing! Karma is a 3 year old Shepherd mix weighing 41 lbs. Karma was surrendered to a local MS shelter by her previous family because they could not afford the medical care she needed. It turns out she had heartworms and this made her sick. Thankfully she was pulled by rescue and placed in a foster home where she received the treatment she needed and she's all better...happy and healthy now. Karma is house and crate trained, has great house manners, is good on leash, loves car rides, and is very bath friendly. She adores everyone she meets. This gorgeous gal is great with kids, other dogs, and cats. She has a low to medium energy level so daily exercise consisting of walking, running, playing with toys (she loves toys) etc would be a wonderful thing to keep her and her loved ones in great shape. Otherwise you can find this little girl lounging around on the couch or hanging out with her people. She uses her crate as her safe place during thunder storms or when fireworks are going off. No need to lock the door cuz she'll stay there until everything settles down. Karma is already spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, current on preventatives, and micro chipped. She's looking for a 'real' forever family and home who will always be with her and take care of her the rest of her life. We believe in good karma and we have no doubt this is the kind of good Karma you would be very fortunate to have in your life. Contact Sharon : ddogresq@aol.com

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! If you would like more information about Konga, contact Katie at katiedoubledog@gmail.com.

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

Breed: Beagle mix Age: 1 year old Weight: 18 lbs Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Curious Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: Medium-High Available for Adoption: Now (Currently accepting applications) Your application must be approved prior to any meeting. Meet Luke! He is a 1-year-old Beagle mix with a Diva personality! Luke loves being held and carried from point A to point B. Though he is small, he has long, thin legs which make us think perhaps he is a Beagle and Italian Greyhound mix. This would also explain the desire to always be carried and pampered! Regardless of what breed mix he is, Luke is such a sweet boy and deserves a loving home! He is very dog friendly and enjoys playing with dogs of all sizes, though his family should keep a watchful eye on playtime with much larger dogs, as Luke is very small. He seems unsure of being on a leash, but hopes that his new family will teach him how to walk nicely on one without being scared or confused of it. Do not pass this boy by - he will add so much love to your family! If you would like more information about Luke, contact Katherine at KatherineDoubleDog@gmail.com *Luke is eligible to be adopted to MA*

Just keep an eye out with very little ones to avoid any knocking down - accidentally, of course! Cats did not seem to faze him at all, as Max completely ignored them when being tested. This handsome pup needs a loving family and we have promised to find him one! If you would like more information about Max, contact Tracy at TracyDoubleDog@gmail.com

Hi! My name is Moe. I was born on July 7th, 2019. My mom is a Chihuahua and Dachshund mix, while my dad is a Pomeranian. I don't even weight 5 pounds yet, but I don't mind. I'm a sensitive pup that loves to play with my foster siblings and and get cuddles from from foster humans. My foster mom is trying to teach me to potty outside. I think I'm getting the idea, but I still need lots of guidance and patience. I am just a puppy after all. I'm sure I'll make the perfect addition to almost any family. Would you like to adopt me? "PUPPIES GROW INTO the expectations of their families through consistent love, caring and training. Puppies cannot be adopted to homes where they are left unattended for more that 3-4 hours.

Petie is your guy if you are searching for a sweet Senior who would prefer to nap on the couch with you rather than go for a jog. This poor boy once had a broken shoulder that has since been repaired and healed and is now simply an old injury. Petie is as gentle as can be and hopes to find a quiet home that matches his calm demeanor. He is a little confused by on-leash walks but some practice will get him more familiar and comfortable with them. Take a chance on a Senior dog and you will not be disappointed!

Meet Rex! He is your typical 10-month-old pup when it comes to his personality, energy level, and temperament. Just an all-around sweetheart! Rex is friendly with everyone, including children. However, he gets very excited when meeting new people and may be a little jumpy, so children old enough to handle this energy would be best. Rex will always want to be right by your side and during those moments where you are not giving him your full attention, he will lay right by your feet and keep himself occupied by chewing on a bone. He enjoys toys of all kinds but especially loves squeaky toys! He is currently in the process of learning basic commands and he expects his new family to follow through with some basic obedience training so he can reach his full potential! Rex hopes to find a family who is not gone long hours every single day, so that he will be able to get the proper amount of daily exercise and release his puppy energy. This sweet boy needs a warm home and he knows his forever family is out there somewhere! If you would like more information about Rex, contact Katherine at KatherineDoubleDog@gmail.com

Meet Rocky Road! Rocky is a sweet, happy puppy. He loves to play with both people and other dogs. He does play like a puppy so he may be too much for some dogs. Like any puppy Rocky Road enjoys chewing so his chew toys keep him busy. Rocky does well on leash and also loves playing in a fenced yard. He likes cuddling. Being a puppy he will need to be taught some manners. He can still be a little mouthy so probably children a little older. He should outgrow this with correction. Rocky will make the time spent teaching him worth it with the happiness he brings your family. If you would like more information about Rocky Road, contact Genevieve at corkygal@me.com

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

Scamp was surrendered to rescue and now he is ready to find a forever family! He is only 20lbs. and is fully grown. Scamp is the perfect energy level for most families, where he is neither too energetic, nor too laid-back. He absolutely LOVES going on walks and gets so excited when he sees his leash! He is looking for a family who will allow him to sleep in a bed because he just loves to snuggle. Scamp is doing an excellent job in the potty training department, though his family should expect some regression with the transition into a new home, as with any pup learning a brand new routine. If you think you can offer a warm and loving home, you need to apply for Scamp! If you would like more information about Scamp, contact Dorothy at DorothyDoubleDog@gmail.com

Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Shepherd mix Age: 3 years old Weight: 55 lbs. Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: No Good with kids: Yes Energy Level: Medium-High Available for Adoption: Now (Currently accepting applications) Your application must be approved prior to meeting any dog. 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.

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

I know the desert can't hold all the love That I feel in my heart for you If I could spell it out across the sea I know my love would cover it up Ain't that a lotta love For one heart to hold. - from 'Ain't That a Lot Of Love' by Three Dog Night Taz is a beautiful 4 month old Catahoula/Hound mix with very unique parti eyes. 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!

When we open his kennel we are usually greeted with a wagging tail followed by a hug. The more comfortable Teton gets in his new surroundings, the more his personality is emerging. He is quite a happy and silly boy. He has some puppy playful energy and would enjoy an active family taking him along on outings. He would be happy in a household where he gets some exercise - maybe playing ball in a fenced yard. Other than that just give him love and attention and he will be happy.

Meet Twister! He is a little Senior boy who is ready to finally have a forever family after all this time. Twister has always lived his life outside without people who care for him. He deserves a warm home, a loving family, and plenty of cuddles and affection! Though Twister is 10 years old, he has never lived in a home, as previously mentioned. Therefore, he will need to be taught that it is outside, not inside, that is the appropriate place to go to the bathroom. This adorable guy is good with other dogs and is even good with cats! He is excellent with children but adults should supervise all playtime to ensure little Twister is not mishandled. He is a low-energy fella and will be happy spending the afternoons in your lap on the couch, especially during these chilly months.

Meet Wiggles! He is an absolute love and a total sweetheart! Wiggles is just a year old and has many more years ahead of him to spend with his forever family! He enjoys playing and bouncing around and WIGGLES so much that it is even hard to get a good photo of him! He is quite the petite boy at only 35lbs. but he has a huge heart! Wiggles loves people and after his initial shyness wears off, he is ready to make friends with everyone. He is looking for a home where he will not be left alone for long hours every day, as this handsome fella needs plenty of exercise and playtime. However, he would be willing to reconsider if his family were to bring him to doggy day care while they are working a long shift! On-leash walks are still a little confusing to Wiggles and he will need help gaining confidence during neighborhood strolls, as he will freeze when something spooks him. He would love a fenced-in yard to run around in and burn off some energy while not having to worry about that very confusing leash all the time. Make this adorable boy a part of your family and you will not regret it! If you would like more information about Wiggles, contact Genevieve at corkygal@me.com
