Meet our princess Lana. She is a beautiful 1 1/2 year old Lab Mix who is spayed and up to date on her vaccines. She came to us as an owner surrender. Not her fault. Lana is a very sweet girl who walks great on a leash and loves car rides. GREAT SHOT GUN RIDER🚘 🐶 She also loves snuggling up to you on the couch or the bed. We’ve done some sleepovers and she did great. She is already house trained and gets along with other dogs. Just wants to play and be happy 🐾❤️🐾

If interested please call us at the Oxford Animal Shelter 203-828-8671

Bretagne (Brittany) (August 25, 1999–June 6, 2016) was a Golden Retriever rescue dog who searched for survivors at Ground Zero after the September 11 attacks. It was the first assignment for her and her owner and trainer, Denise Corliss, and they worked there for 10 days. Corliss, a volunteer firefighter with the Cy-Fair Fire Department, began training Bretagne for search and rescue work at just eight weeks old.

She is believed to have been the last surviving dog from the 9/11 attacks when she was euthanized in Texas in 2016; she was 16 years old and suffering from kidney failure. As Bretagne entered the animal hospital in Cypress, Texas, firefighters and search and rescue workers from the fire department lined the sidewalk and saluted. When she was carried out later by the search and rescue workers, in a casket draped in a Texas flag, the line of firefighters resumed their salute wearing black bands across their badges.

🇺🇸Let us not forget the unsung heroes of 9/11 🇺🇸

*******ADOPTED 7/12❣️❣️❣️❣️

Libby is pending ADOPTION🎉🎉🎉🎉💛 7/9/2024 - thanks everyone!

📍 LIBBY
Libby was rescued after months and months of sitting in Waterbury Animal Shelter with no friends, no interest, no hope. BARC CT got her into a foster where she’s doing great now! But she needs a forever home and cannot stay at her short-term foster home much longer.

Libby is the perfect girl—literally. If you’ve been on the fence about adopting because you don’t want a lot of work. THIS IS THE DOG FOR YOU!

Libby is LOW ENERGY senior and loves to lounge and chill. She’s also happy to go for walks to sit in the grass. She’s just an easy peasy gal! We aren’t certain of age but approximately 8-10 yrs.

Spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped

Excellent with dogs!!!! (another chill dog would be awesome)

Great with kids (double digits please!)

Great with all humans!

Great with Cats 🐈!!!!!!

Healthy for her age and ready for LOVE 💕
