My story

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

Meet Butch!!!!

Butch was surrendered with two other little dogs by his family in Tennessee. They could no longer care for him and his friends. They were brought to the shelter and Fetching Hearts stepped up for them to help them.

We wanted to be able to have them find new forever homes that would love them as much as they love their humans. Butch is a very loving boy who is very low-key and just wants to be with his people. He does also love other dogs. Butch is such a couch potato as he will snuggle up with you when you are watching TV on your lap. He is very submissive when playing with other dogs. Butch is respectful and just wants to have a good time. He is really not into toys but we could possibly see him learning what they are and having a blast with them. Butch is good on leash so he would enjoy a walk during the fall in the crisp cool air with a little jacket on of course LOL.

Don't miss out on Butch! He is one awesome little guy with a big heart. Apply for him today to make him part of your family. He will complete it in so many ways!

If interested in Butch, please apply online: ADOPTION APPLICATION or email us at Info.FetchingHeartsRescue@gmail.com.

If anything is brought to our attention, we treat the dog. After adopting the dog, you will be responsible for following up with all vetting going forward.

More about this rescue

Fetching Hearts Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3), volunteer run rescue that is dedicated to saving dogs who have been abused, neglected or abandoned and finding loving, caring homes for them.

We rely on a network of foster families so that each dog that we pull into the safety of our rescue is placed in a foster home and is no longer confined to a life in a kennel.

We are committed to helping dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes by partnering with shelters and animal control services right here in Connecticut as well as with several high kill shelters in the South.

We do a full assessment of each dog's temperament and health to ensure that we are able to find the most suitable home for them. Every dog is fully vetted - meaning they are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and micro chipped - before being adopted.

The ASPCA estimates that approximately 3.3 million dogs in the United States enter shelters each year, of which approximately 670,000 are euthanized*. Our goal is to advocate for and provide education about the need for spaying and neutering to eliminate what has become an epidemic of unwanted dogs.*
