❤️ Meet GINGER!

GINGER is a beautiful 4 month old large breed pup (Malinois/Boxer Mix perhaps?) and weighs about 26 lbs.

GINGER is a silly and playful girl, but she listens very well to direction! She is smart as a whip just like her sister and we anticipate she, too, will be a promising little student!

GINGER is great with other dogs! She loves doing zoomies and frolicking around the yard with her doggie pals and child in her foster home!

We will be diligent about placing her in a home with great doggie role models (if other dogs in the home) and with humans who will put in the proper time and effort into the puppyhood phase so that she can grow to be a well balanced adult.

Super sweet pup!

Located in private foster in CT.

🗽 GOSH...what a long way PRINCESS has come! Who knew she'd be a New Yorker at heart?

She's loving being a city girl...the long walks, cuddling with her forever mom and meeting new people and other dogs! And to be free of the excruciating pain of those enormous bladder stones...she must feel like she's on top of the world!

⭐️ DOGGIE SPOTLIGHT ON KEVIN!

❤️ Meet KEVIN!

KEVIN is a super handsome 4 month old large breed pup (Shep/Lab mix perhaps?) and weighs about 30 lbs.

KEVIN is total love bug and his face will just melt your heart! He is a typical pup who may take your slippers for a whirl in the yard...but he is oh so eager to please and is SUPER easy to redirect and teach.

KEVIN has a natural mildness and sweetness about him...he just has that essence of a "good boy". He is very food motivated and is a quick learner!

KEVIN is awesome with other dogs and loves everyone he meets!

⭐️ DOGGIE SPOTLIGHT ON KELSEY!

We totally understand that when a dog is returned after being adopted, a stigma is automatically attached. But we swear...KELSEY is AMAZING!

KELSEY went on vacation with her foster mom and was the perfect lake house guest! She loves all people and despite it not working out the first time in her adoptive home with one of the other dogs in the home...KELSEY still continues to positively interact with other dogs like she always had.

We won't stop until this deserving girl finds her deserving forever! And bonus, a generous person has donated towards her adoption fee!

KELSEY has been waiting the longest...and she needs to settle into her FOREVER home!

KELSEY is a beautiful, happy, bright-spirited pitty girl, about 3 years old, 45 -50 lbs.

KELSEY was living with a homeless man up until fairly recently. She ended up at the shelter, but she was just such a bright light that we just had to pull her into foster and help ensure she got the amazing home she so deserves.

She is so eager to please and just wants your approval so badly. She is a total velcro dog and is SUPER affectionate and grateful!

KELSEY knows basic commands, cuddles with her stuffy toys and carries them around, loves playing ball/fetch and is truly such a happy, loving girl!

KELSEY is great in the car, and is crate & potty trained, too!

💗 On July 31st...ROSIE officially became a mom! She is a natural and has been doing an amazing job taking care of her 5 little pups!

ROSIE'S adopters have been wonderful despite the surprise turn of events (when we all found out ROSIE was pregnant during her spay appointment)! And they are really enjoying seeing their beloved ROSIE reveal yet another beautiful side of personality.

Named after "Party of Five"...

Welcome Claudia, Julia, Bailey, Owen and Charlie!

***Reminder...we will not be accepting applications for puppies until they are at least 6 weeks old, and they will not leave mom until they are at least 8 weeks old and fully ready to leave mom and littermates.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated towards their Wishlist! We will add more items as the puppies grow, but for now the list has been fulfilled! 🐾

⭐️ UPDATE: ADOPTION ON HOLD PENDING MEDICAL FOLLOW-UP!

❤️ Meet TASHA!

View her video here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19hgF6WLex/

TASHA is a beautiful mixed breed girl (maybe Border Collie mix?), about 2-3 years old and weighs about 45 lbs.

TASHA has an injury on her back left foot and is on antibiotics for the next few weeks in hopes of clearing it up. It appears like she was caught on wire or something of that nature, and while she favors it a bit...it doesn't slow her down in the least! She is super nimble and swift!

TASHA is set for a follow up visit when she is finished with meds, but she is available for adoption NOW! We will of course continue to work with the adopter to be sure her injury is all cleared up.

TASHA loves everyone she meets (kids included) and she is excellent with other dogs of all sizes, too! Super easy to leash walk, too!

TASHA is a very easy keeper! She is smart, already knows basic commands, is totally potty trained and is ready to melt into a loving family.

TASHA is more dainty than she appears in photos with a narrow snout and build like a Border Collie.

She is pretty low key and so far has been all about couch naps but does has little bursts of energy where she'll gallop around the yard or romp around with other foster pups!

TASHA is family-ready and is a TOTAL GEM of a dog!

URGENT: Looking for committed fosters in CT for single large breed puppies!

⭐️ UPDATE: ADOPTED!

❤️ Meet CHARLIE!

CHARLIE is an absolutely precious mixed breed pup (Shepherd mix perhaps?), about 11-12 weeks old and weighs about 13 lbs.

CHARLIE is a very smart and lovable little guy who we expect will grow to a medium/large-ish adult. We are not sure what he is mixed with, but we think likely Shepherd in there somewhere.

CHARLIE has been well socialized with people and with other dogs! He is a totally blank slate and is ready to be cherished by some lucky adopters!

Sweet, playful and eager to learn and be the best boy ever!

⭐️ UPDATE: ADOPTED!

❤️ Meet PRINCESS!

PRINCESS is a beautiful female CORGI, about 5 years old and weighs 24 lbs.

PRINCESS came to us in horrible shape...including having two gigantic bladder stones! She went in for surgery immediately and it was a success...she is feeling like a brand new dog!

PRINCESS loves everyone she meets! She is great with other dogs but she would prefer to be without high energy/energetic dogs who are on the all over her of course. She's more of a mature and mild mannered kinda girl.

After living alone in an apartment pretty much 24/7, she is very happy to receive as much attention and affection as possible nowadays!

PRINCESS will need to remain on a prescription diet to help ensure no other bladder stones will reappear, but that's a small price to pay for such a lovely little dog!

🎀 A heartfelt THANK YOU to each and every one of you who helped contribute to ROSIE'S little nook where she can deliver her pups in peace!

ROSIE'S adopters and I had a great time setting up today! ROSIE gave lots of happy little howls and even smiles today! She is such a happy, sweet and beautiful girl!

We are thinking she may be further along than first estimated since her temperature has dropped...so we are keeping a close eye on her!

* We know it's exciting...but please, we are not accepting applications for any puppies yet. We always wait until they are at least 6 weeks old to start accepting applications and they will not leave mom until they are at least 8 weeks old and fully ready to leave mom and littermates.

Thank you so much everyone! 🐾
