Are you looking for the perfect dog (or two) to add to your home? Well, look no further than Nena and her best friend Milo! Nena is a 6 year old Chihuahua who is a delicate flower at 5lbs. Nena and her friend Milo were abandoned when their homeless owner could no longer care for them. Nena pines for attention and to be held - she is the definition of a lap dog (be prepared for Milo to be in your lap at the same time!). She will completely melt into your arms and lap. But she's no slouch either! Nena walks beautifully on a leash and loves to go for long walks and outdoor adventures. She also adores playing with toys and a good game of tug-of-war with Milo. Nena and her BFF Milo have spent many years together, so they will need to be adopted as a pair (11lbs of two dogs isn't too much to ask, is it, lol?). Nena would love human siblings 10 years of age and older for snuggle partners. To learn more about Nena (and Milo!), please reach out to his adoption counselor Beth at beth.b@poainc.org AND complete an adoption application ASAP at www.poainc.org

We do have a screening and application process. Protectors of Animals requires a veterinarian check before any adoption.
One of our experienced Placement Team members will meet with you and show you the cat, kitten or dog you are interested in, or will guide you towards cats, kittens or dogs that are appropriate for your home environment. We will discuss with you the background of the cat, kitten or dog and what special needs or requirements he or she may have. We will happily take the time to carefully answer any questions you have or discuss any concerns.
POA does not charge an adoption “fee.” It costs POA anywhere from $100 and $400, or more, per dog or cat or kitten to make them well and prepare them for adoption. We are an all-donation organization and we rely on adoption donations to help us continue our work. When you adopt a cat or dog, we will ask for a donation. Our adoption donation information can be found at our website at www.poainc.org.

More about this rescue
We are a NO-Kill rescue and shelter for cats and dogs.
POA was formed in 1975 to rescue abandoned, abused and stray cats and dogs. Today we are one of the oldest and most respected animal welfare organizations in the northeast. POA is here to stay! You will not find a more dedicated, experienced or thorough resource for improving the lives of Connecticut cats and dogs. We confine our focus to our home state because this is where our infrastructure and resources reside, as well as our leadership.
