My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

John is a five month old, 45 pound puppy and while we are not certain of his breeding we are pretty sure he is going to be a big boy. John gets along well with other dogs and will let an adult dog boss him around. He loves people and is highly treat motivated. He likes to chase cats so a a feline free home would be best. Since John is likely to be a very big boy his adopter should be prepared to ensure he gets regular exercise and appropriate obedience training so he grows into a big, beautiful joy to live with instead of a rambunctious but well meaning tornado. Since he is smart and his love of cookies is matched only by his love for praise, we think he will excel in his obedience training and be a real pleasure to work with.

This puppy is neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccination, treated for all of the intestinal parasites and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives.

More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of different from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds.

This pup is in CT and waiting to find their forever home!! If you are interested in adopting this pup, please email your adoption coordinator to set up a meet. You can also apply online on our website, but you must be pre-approved before setting up an appointment to adopt.

The adoption fee is $600 which includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, and the mandatory CT HB 5368 fee.

If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 12pm - 2pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05.
