My story

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

Thank you for your interest in Rocky. A little over a year and he is being treated for Lyme Disease. He's been at East Haven Animal Control for about two months. He was owned but didn't take care of him and he was surrendered to the shelter. He's a very good boy, loves other dogs and people. It SEEMS like he has a low prey drive and doesn't go after cats. Also has been around kids. No aggression issues at all. The volunteer who is bringing Rocky has the information on Rocky's background. Rocky is from a Connecticut pound and may require additional vetting before going home.

APPLICATION FORM: http://godogdays.org/find-my-new-best-friend.htm (Copy and paste to browser.)

If you would like to begin the application process, please fill in the form at the link above and we will review your information, call your personal and well as vet references. PLEASE Fill in the application if you're interested in adoption, this will save you time at the event. A letter from your vet on their letterhead will also be very helpful if they won't be open for us to call as a reference. If you are renting, please note you must have a written letter of permission from your landlord to own a dog on their property. Dog Days will be conducting interviews of prospective adopters. As a policy, Dog Days will not hold dogs for potential adopters so it is important to come to the event by 11:00am Saturday morning if you have your heart set on a particular dog. We will be posting more information on each dog as we get closer to the event weekend which is October 26&27. PLEASE NOTE THAT DOGS ARE GIVEN TO THE BEST HOME, NOT FIRST IN LINE.

We hope you will understand the careful scrutiny of potential adopters is not only for the safety and well-being of the dog but also for a positive experience for your household. Thank you for saving the life of a shelter dog through adoption; you are truly a hero.

Here is more info on Rocky: Surrendered by his owner after he continuously was caught roaming Rt 80. Owner realized it was too much for him to handle.
Very Friendly and playful. Loves people and to get attention.


Each dog and puppy has been seen by a Connecticut veterinarian who will also be on site to answer any questions you may have. We'll have professional groomers on site to give your new pal a bath before you take them home (no charge) and our adoption bags will give you information and samples for use at home.

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:

http://godogdays.org/find-my-new-best-friend.htm

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!
