My story

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

This sweet boy is around 8 months old and and weighs in at 45 lbs. Brutus is such a friendly and happy pup that loves to play with others. He never meets a stranger and is such a very good boy. Such a sweet and cuddly love bug that is going to make the most amazing family companion!
This sweetie had a terrible case of demodectic mange when he/she came into our rescue. He/she has been treated, but his/her hair is still slowly growing back and that's why in the pictures it might appear that he/she looks like they have been nibbled on by a moth. He also had an injury to his back leg from another dog attacking him in his prior living situation before coming into CPR's care. But it has healed well and he is doing great. The scuffle was no fault of his and he wouldn't hurt a fly.
Demodectic mange, frequently referred to as demodex or "red mange", is the most common form of mange in dogs. Demodectic mange most often occurs in puppies with immateur immune systems, allowing the number of skin mites to multiply rapidly. It's not contagious to other dogs or humans, and it is easily treatable but can be a lengthy process.
There are several different medications (oral and topical) that are used to treat demodex. Medicated baths are helpful and soothing to help the puppy feel less irritated. However, the very best treatment above everything else is low stress and lots of TLC. We also suggest food that is for skin conditions.
This sweet puppy is ready for a home of her very own but please be sure and do your own research about demodex to make sure you're comfortable with it. We've treated probably thousands of puppies and adults with demodex and in the most severe cases, the hair might grow back splotchy in places, but the recovery is full and when treated properly, demodex leaves no long term health issues.
This dog is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. This dog has tested ****** for heartworms. The adoption fee is $450 if your adoption is prepaid and final prior to your dog's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on dogs that are picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, adopted at an event or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368.

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.
