My name is Raven and I'm a female purebred Chow Chow. I'm 4 years old and I weigh 50 lbs. I'm black in color. I'm spayed and up to date on all my shots. I was 4DX tested and tested negative.

I'm housetrained and crate trained. I am good with other dogs, NO cats because I will chase them. NO small children due to my breed, but I’m okay with older children.

I was rescued from Wethersfield Animal Control and I was tested positive for Heartworm. I was treated for Heartworm and now I tested negative so now I'm ready for my forever home. I'm a good girl and I absolutely love car rides!

PIA is a 20 week mixed breed gal waiting for her family to choose her! She is such a chill, sweet and cuddly gal who just wants to learn and be the best version of herself!
Even though she is a young puppy, PIA is pretty low key and has shown great potential to be a candidate for an ESA! While she does love to romp around with other doggos, she is also just about that Netflix and Chill life!
PIA has been making great strides with housebreaking, is spayed, current on age appropriate vaccines and has also been dewormed and microchipped!

If anyone happens to get any of the multitude of meal delivery services, or Misfits Market, or anything that comes with ice packs in it, any chance you could drop the ice packs off at the shelter? Most people throw them out, and we could really use them here for various reasons. They can be thawed, no problem at all. We would really appreciate them!

Please contact our friends Passion 4 Paws if you want to adopt these two babies!

CALLING ALL ANGELS! We need you now more than ever. It's time to help SHEILA & PINKY find their forever home.

We're not gonna lie. This one is bittersweet. These two dogs have stolen our hearts.

Meet SHEILA & PINKY — a bonded pair of senior survivors with hearts full of love and gratitude. Watch their video and see how beautiful they are: https://youtu.be/3vRJcrnHsKU

After a lifetime of neglect, SHEILA (15, Shih Tzu) and PINKY (10, Chihuahua) are finally ready for their forever home. These two girls came into our rescue this spring in heartbreaking condition — and yet, from day one, they’ve shown nothing but resilience, sweetness, and grace.

SHEILA suffered the worst. She arrived so severely matted she couldn’t walk or see. Since then, she’s undergone multiple surgeries — including a spay, bladder stone removal, hernia repair, splenectomy, mammary tumor removal, and a dental with 18 extractions. (Both tumors were benign!) Now all fixed up, she’s ready to get on with her life. SHEILA does have arthritis in her hips and back legs from years of matting, but she’s mobile, comfortable, and improving steadily.

PINKY is perfection — and SHEILA’s loyal bestie. A 15 lb Chihuahua with one of the biggest hearts you’ll ever meet, she’s affectionate, alert, and always ready to snuggle — whether it’s with SHEILA, her people, the other dogs in her foster home, or even orphaned kittens.

PINKY has a stage B1 heart murmur that does not currently require medication. She too had a dental with extractions, a hernia repair, and was spayed at the same time. Despite everything, PINKY remains one of the most joyful and loving dogs we’ve ever met.

These two are deeply bonded. They cuddle, comfort, and quietly look out for one another — a connection that’s truly beautiful to witness. While SHEILA may be okay without PINKY, we do not think PINKY will be okay without SHEILA.

They’re looking for a calm, loving home where they can live out their golden years together — a place with cozy beds, kind humans, (hopefully a fenced in yard they can truck around in), other doggy friends, and the dignity they’ve always deserved.

💕 Must be adopted together

🐾 Good with other gentle dogs and cats

🏡 Looking for a low-key home with lots of love

Going forward SHEILA will require regular grooming so she never gets matted again.

There is so much more to their story. You can read all about them by searching “SHEILA & PINKY” here on our page.

Ready to meet this amazing duo? They are being fostered in Middletown, CT, but also spend time in New Milford.

🥁 MISS BASIL UPDATE!!!! 🥁
902. Nine hundred and two. 9️⃣0️⃣2️⃣
BASIL HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!!
For our newer followers and supporters, Basil was initially found in a field of vultures fending herself and just barely making it by to attempt the challenging task of survival. She was eventually trapped and brought to physical safety but then lived in a kennel run for 3-4 years to no fault of her own. Basil was ALWAYS overlooked by potential adopters due to her lack of trust and insecurities that she was never given the tools to combat. Basil was NEVER even a thought of to northern “rescues”…
I had her in the back of my mind for almost a solid year and often asked the original rescue about her; I knew in my heart that I could and would be able to vibe with her and connect.
Fast forward to the most recent weeks, I learned of some potential life altering health concerns for myself as well as being in the midst of moving a few towns over that was not yet set up for her needs…
I was desperately seeking a reputable and temporary foster for the Basil Babe…But who!?
Well, there are always “those adopters” that stand out completely for different reasons and purposes as well as compatibility.
The Haner family. They were the first alumnus of PRR I thought of that checked all of the boxes, in my mind, for Miss Basil. They had adopted a beautiful grey pittie mix from me in 2022. They embody both extensive empathy and education for the seniors, the shy/insecure ones beyond the scope of measurement. I confidently knew in my soul that this would be as close as it gets to the state of nirvana for Basil.
After several days of Q&A text exchanges, I received this text from Christine:
“Kathleen I have the highest respect for you and your work in rescue and truly admire your selflessness with animals. And I feel that asking for help was really a hard thing for you to do. So it’s time for someone to do something for you! We would be happy to help you and Basil. 💜”
…I nearly fell to my knees… especially when Christine told me that she already knew exactly who Basil was as she had been following Basil’s story since Day 1 with Pride Rock!
Fast forward a few days later, it was apparent that I did what I was meant to do for Basil in preparation to be able to move forward into her next chapter. Christine and her family instantly fell in love with the Basil Babes and allowed me time to feel and live in one of the most bittersweet moments….
I truly expected Basil to live out her life with me. I was absolutely prepared for that. But now, she gained a new life, a new perspective of such and has developed into a more confident dog. I was her stepping stone for those nine hundred plus 2 days. And now, the Haner family gets to be her next and final chapter. I could not be more proud, happy, and just… I breathe a bit easier now…

🆘 MAE is in dire need of a foster home for six months! Her family is moving to Australia and will be able to take her with them then! The family is also open to having us adopt her out to the right family to not put stress on her via boarding/travel/quarantine. He are the details on MISS MAE:

🐾 9 years old, 65lbs. Spayed. Current on all vaccinations.

🐾She is good with kids and cats. She really loves kids. She is unpredictable with dogs. Gets along fine with the parents dachsund/chihuahua mix but gets overexcited and defensive with larger dogs.

🐾 No bite history. Very wary of strangers on her property, especially men. Gets very loud to ward them off but has never hurt anyone.

🐾No food aggression.

🐾Crate trained

If we cannot find a foster for Mae, we will unfortunately have to put her in boarding which we absolutely hate to do! ❤️‍🩹💔

If you’re able to foster Mae, please comment below or email us at [email protected]
