I’m Benny, a 4 month old, 15 lb, possibly Shepherd/Hound mix cutie, but let’s be honest, we aren’t totally positive! One thing's for sure: I’m one of the cutest gentlemen you’ll ever meet.

I get along with kids, other dogs and kitties. I’m still working on perfecting my housebreaking skills, kind of like a doggy college student figuring out the routine. But don’t worry, I’m on the right track! I’ve got a stellar potty routine with my foster siblings outside, I just need to make sure my schedule is as organized as a squirrel with a nut stash! Oh, and did I mention I’m crate trained? My crate is my man cave.

Car rides? Yes, please! I’m that pup with the window down, ears flapping in the breeze, just soaking up the good vibes. And toys? I adore them ALL! Squeaky, crinkly, or even that quirky rubber chicken that makes everyone question their life choices, I’m all in! What I really want is a family to share epic adventures with, toss toys around, and have some fun training sessions! Trust me, once you meet me, you’ll see I’m destined to be the best pup ever!

🚨‼️ PLEASE SHARE ‼️🚨

It truly breaks our hearts to share that two of our longest residents in our rescue, Elain and Cassian, have been with us since the day they were born, and now they are approaching six months old. It seems almost unbelievable how quickly time has flown by. 😔

Elain and Cassian are more than just adorable pups; they are full of life, energy, and playfulness. Their loving nature shines through in everything they do, whether they’re romping around in the yard or cuddling up for some snuggles. They have an incredible ability to connect with everyone they meet, wether you are a fellow pup or kiddo.

It’s hard not to feel sadness knowing how long they’ve been waiting for their forever homes. They have so much love to give and are ready to share their fun personalities with a family of their own. We genuinely hope that you all can help us find those 2 special families who would love to have them in their families. Elain and Cassian deserve a place where they can thrive and be loved, and we truly believe they will bring endless love and laughter to whoever is lucky enough to adopt them.

📍Elain is fostered in Southington
📍Cassian is fostered in Seymour

Hey there! I’m Pickles, the one and only, super adorable Pug who just turned the big ONE! I’m neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find my forever family!

I’m the textbook definition of a goofball! I’m crate trained and I strut my stuff like a champ on a leash. But let me tell you, the excitement of going outside can turn me into a zooming rocket! Zoomies are my thing!

I’m a friend to all - kids? Love ’em! Other dogs? Totally cool! Haven't had the pleasure of meeting any kitties yet, but I’m pretty sure we could be pals! My ideal situation? Being near my humans because I like to stick close and soak up all the love. So, I’d love it if my new family who can bring me to work, or works primarily from home!

I can hardly wait to be snatched up by an incredible new family who will love me as much as I love them!

Ladies and gentlemen, gather round and prepare to meet the one, the only, the absolutely fabulous… ME! I’m Summit! I’m a sprightly two-year-old mix of Australian Shepherd and Spaniel. A heady blend of intelligence and charm, weighing in at a lean and mean 41lbs. I’m spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, so you know I’m ready for all the adventures (and cheese) life has to throw at me!

Now, let me take you on a little trip down memory lane. Before my big rescue, let’s just say my life wasn’t the best! But now, I’m here and ready to rock. When I see other dogs, I get so excited that I might just levitate! But then, when they get too close, I get a little shy 😅 And let’s talk about kids, I don’t just like them, I *LOVE* them! I would love a forever home with a little!

Now, cats? Well, that’s still an unsolved mystery! I haven’t crossed paths with any yet, but I bet if we introduced ourselves slowly, I’d be as smitten as a kitten!

I’m all about being close to my people! If you cuddle up next to me, you’ll find I’m a total couch potato! If you don’t mind a few paws on you, I’m your gal! I sleep like a champ in my crate and I’m crushing it on a leash like I’m auditioning for "Dancing with the Dogs." Fast learner? You betcha! I’m basically a sponge ready to absorb all the wisdom you can throw at me!

Oh, and have I mentioned my most favorite thing in the whole wide world? Drumroll, please… CHEESE! I mean, who needs a fancy diamond ring when you could have a cheese-filled delicious morsel? Pill pockets? Give ‘em a cheesy makeover! Food toppers? Slather on that cheddar! Just…CHEESE! If you play your cards right, I might even barter a kidney for some.

So, if you’re ready for a life of snuggles, giggles, and a very enthusiastic cheese connoisseur, let’s make this happen!

‼️ PLEASE SHARE ELAIN ‼️

Our resident pretty girl, Elain, is * STILL * on the hunt for her partner in crime - her Clyde to her Bonnie (or maybe the other way around, whichever!).

Elaine is a 4 month old Lab mix who gets along fabulously with other dogs, has no beef with cats, and absolutely loves kiddos. Oh, and did we mention she’s fully crate trained and almost housebroken? Elain is the total package.

‼️🚨 SHARE NESTA 🚨‼️

Hi there, my name is Nesta. It’s a little disheartening to admit that this isn’t my first time being posted, but I’m here to share my story in hopes that it resonates with someone special. 😔

I'm a Lab mix, born on November 8th, and I’ve been looking to find my forever home for quite a while now. I can’t help but wonder if maybe people overlook me because they don’t see the beauty I know I have.

You might not be able to see it in pictures, but I've got the sweetest forehead wrinkles, and one of my eyes is half blue. I’ve got a little hint of uniqueness! I love to play with other dogs, and I think cats are pretty cool too. I’m great with kids, although I have a soft spot for teenagers, especially teenage girls - they’re my favorite! I guess you can say I’m a girls girl!

I’m fully crate trained and nearly housebroken! I know my basic commands and pick up new things quickly. What I really wish for is a loving family to share fun playtime, cozy cuddles, and exciting adventures with. I truly hope that someone can see beyond the surface and give me a chance. I promise, I’m a really good girl just waiting for the right person to notice me.

Hi there! I’m Reuben, a sweet little guy weighing in at just 6 pounds. At 1.5 years old, I'm a blend of Maltese and Shih Tzu, and I'm already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped!



My journey has been quite a rollercoaster, but it took a wonderful turn when I was rescued with my siblings from a crowded situation. Right now, I’m fortunate enough to be in a warm and caring foster home, and I'm extremely grateful for the kindness and patience that has been shown to us.

I may seem a little shy and reserved at first, but that’s just me taking my time to feel comfortable. If you're willing to be patient and maybe offer me some delicious treats, I know I can thrive in a home with friendly dogs, cats, or older kids who will cherish my gentle nature. I’m eager to learn and grow, and I dream of having a family to guide me, helping me blossom into the best pup I can be. Given my rocky start, finding a stable and loving home would truly be a dream come true.

I imagine a cozy and nurturing environment full of warmth, playful moments, and plenty of cuddles. I sincerely hope to find that special place soon!

Well, howdy humans! I’m Dottie, the Great Pyrenees/Australian Shepherd mix (or at least that’s what we assume, but maybe I’m just a fluffy alpaca in disguise!🤫). I was born December 8th and when I grow up, rumor has it I’ll be a large doggo, although, I would blame it on my fluffy coat!

Speaking of fabulous (me, I’m the fabulous one), guess what? I’m already spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped! That’s right, I’m SO ready to go to my forever home.

Now, here’s where it gets fun. You see, I would absolutely LOVE to splash around in a nice puddle with another pup or some adorable kiddos! I can just picture it: us frolicking like we’re in a slow-motion movie scene. The only party crashers I wouldn’t invite are those kitties because I heard they prefer to stay dry. So, I’ll just plop down next to them and enjoy their presence instead.

I’m a brainy gal and am ready for a family to teach me the ropes and show me fun tricks. Will you be the one to teach me to be the best girl around?

🚨‼️ PLEASE SHARE ELAIN ‼️🚨

Do you remember my adorable face? If you’ve forgotten, allow me to reintroduce myself: I’m Elain, a Labrador mix born on November 8th. I’m fully up to date on my vaccinations and equipped with a microchip.

I must admit, it's been a bit disheartening for me lately. Despite my vibrant and spunky personality, I find myself feeling a little sad because I haven’t received a single adoption application. I understand that black dogs often face challenges when it comes to finding their forever homes. It’s a common story, and while it’s frustrating, I want to reassure you: I am truly a wonderful girl with so much love to give! My siblings and I have been waiting patiently for a few months now, and it sometimes feels like we’re invisible in the eyes of potential adopters.

When strangers meet me, there’s often an instant connection. Sure, I might come across as a bit shy, but that’s merely a little trick I play. Once you see past that initial uncertainty, you’ll discover my playful nature and my knack for making people laugh! I have a sassy personality that often surprises those who think they’ve peeked behind my timid exterior. I absolutely love playing with other dogs, and I'm a fan of kids and even cats. In fact, I believe we could all create a wonderful, harmonious home together!

You should know that my crate is my little sanctuary, my personal “girl cave” where I feel safe and secure. I’ve been making great strides in my housebreaking journey and am really getting the hang of it. Admittedly, I’m still polishing my leash skills, but let me tell you: I’m getting better every day! With a little guidance and patience, I’m sure I’ll be mastering those walks in no time.

What I dream of more than anything is to join a loving family who cherishes playtime and enjoys cozy cuddle sessions on the couch. I long for a family with who I can go on fun adventures with, exploring the world together and creating fun memories. All I’m looking for is a loving home that will love me wholeheartedly, just as much as I promise to love them unconditionally.

So, I kindly ask - please don’t continue to overlook me. If you could help me find my forever home, I know I would bring so much joy and laughter into your life. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for, right?

I bet you can’t wait to meet little ol’ me!


I’m Prezly, a 9lb bundle of fun and mischief, 12 weeks old, a Boston terrier and already plotting world domination - muahaha!
Now let’s get the snoozefest out of the way: I’m spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. In other words, I’m ready to roll with my forever family without any pesky paperwork holding me back.

Some folks might call me crazy, but let’s be real, if by crazy they mean “the life of the party who could power a small city with her zoomies,” then they are absolutely on the money! I even snagged the “Class Clown” award. Trust me, I’ve got enough energy to fuel a rocket ship.

Wondering about my social skills? I get along with dogs, cats, and kids. Whoever can keep up with my shenanigans gets a lifetime supply of cuddles, chaos, and laughs. But don't let my comedic genius fool you because I’m also a brilliant little scholar and would love for my forever family to teach me the ropes, like how to expertly charm the mailman 😇

So, what are you waiting for? Are you ready to roll out the red carpet and welcome me into your life?
