My personality

My story

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

**This dog is NOT attending the event due to not liking other dogs. Please apply via Dog Days or www.brasscityrescue.org to meet Kipper. **

Kipper, our beautiful 5-year-old girl, is looking for her forever home, and we know you'll fall in love with her the moment you meet her. Her soft cuddly fur and gorgeous brown eyes will capture your heart instantly, but it's her playful and loving personality that will make you want to take her home. Kipper is active and needs her daily walkies or rides. 

This little cutie found her way to us when her mom had to move and couldn't take her along. It's been a tough time for Kipper, and she's been patiently waiting for someone to give her the love and care she deserves. Kipper is an active and playful pup who loves nothing more than chasing her toys and playing fetch. She's always up for a game of tug-of-war and will happily keep you entertained for hours. But when she's not busy playing, Kipper loves nothing more than snuggling up next to her favorite human for some cuddles and belly rubs. She's a true people-pleaser and will do anything to make you happy.  
 
 As much as Kipper loves most people, she has been known to be leery of some men and will guard the home on occasion. She would do best in a home with older children and no other pets BUT we’ve been successful socializing her with large male dogs on walks and in our yard. We are confident that she enjoys the playtime so we are hopeful she could be buddies with a dog but not live with it. She wants all the attention for herself and would thrive in a peaceful environment where she can be the center of your world. She's not a fan of sharing her toys but will happily share her heart with her new family.

A blurb from her foster: She’s pretty good. She did some counter surfing a couple times but only if I was gone for the day. She is very high energy when coming home from work but settles down fairly quickly. Once she’s settled she is like the perfect dog and listens great. She absolutely loves women but is somewhat hesitant of men. After the first few minutes she warms up and is fine. On leash she is great until she gets her zoomies and will slip right out of her collar. She did that twice to me and both times I told her to go inside. She didn’t hesitate and walked right inside. So double leash is definitely recommended at least at first. She does bark but not excessively. All and all she is a good dog.

Additional adoption info

All dogs and puppies are owned by rescues or shelters and they set policies for adoptions, including the cost, however, we do not allow rescues to charge more than $450 for adoptions.

All dogs at our events are spayed or neutered, current on all age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and assessed for behavior and temperament unless they come from Connecticut municipal pounds or are otherwise noted.

Please fill in our online form if you're interested in adoption so we can help the rescues process your information faster at the event:

Please note that ALL dogs are approved by their rescues at our events, filling in an application does not "hold" a dog for you or guarantee that you will be approved for adoption by the rescue.

PLEASE CHECK OUR WEBSITE FOR EVENT LOCATION – it will be on the home page: www.godogdays.org.

Any dogs not adopted at our event are returned to their rescue or go into our foster program. Our volunteers will continue to try to find a good home for dogs not adopted out at the event. So far we have found homes for every dog at our events and we would like to continue that proud statistic!
