Meet Oso, a three-year-old, 80 pounds healthy male German Shepherd who is full of loyalty and kindness! We brought him into our lives through Mike's Chance Animal Rescue, and we loved fostering him over the past few months. He's attended training classes and has had regular check-ups with the vet, so he's ready for his forever home. Oso is house-trained and loves to play, and we're excited to find a loving family for him. If you're looking for a sweet companion, Oso might just be the perfect match!

He is a love bug and loves to be with his people once he gets to know you. Demon is quirky and will need someone patient and experienced with "little dog syndrome". He is good with other dogs. No children. If you would like to meet him, please fill out an application on our website and an officer will be in touch! www.naugatuckanimalcontrol.com

Story
Bear is a 2 to 4 year old Boerboel, weighing in around 200lbs. Bear was brought to our shelter with his brother Diesel - they are not bonded and do not need to go together. Bear is true to the breed, protective of his people and property, and will need a very strong and experienced home. He is housebroken, kennel trained, and knows basic commands. No young children in the home. Preferably a solid fenced in yard. He has done well with other docile 50+lb female dogs - no other males.

Story
Diesel is a big baby of a Boerboel weighing in at approximately 200lbs, estimated to be between 4 to 6 years old. Diesel was brought in with his Brother Bear but they do not need to go together - Diesel is the more calm and sensitive of the two. He is loving and is non reactive of the other dogs big or small. He is true to the breed and is protective of his property and people, so strong and experienced home is required. Diesel is great for the vet and love going to car rides. Fenced in yard is preferred. He is housebroken, kennel trained, and knows basic commands.
