Story

~ I can live in a single family home (condos considered).~ I want to live with kids over 8 years of age who are familiar with large, active dogs.~ I would enjoy sharing my home with another likeminded dog who enjoys a rough and tumble playstyle.~ I am willing to consider sharing my home with cats.~ I am a medium-high energy kind of dog and am looking for a home where I can get lots of exercise every day.~ I have a lower vocal level.~ I am a great dog with lots of potential. I may do best with a family who has owned dogs before.Lucky is a 6-year-old neutered male Retriever Mix, weighing 61.6 lbs of sweetness and untapped potential. After being surrendered by his owner of five years due to a move, Lucky is now looking for a new family to call his own. This charming, medium-high energy dog is ready to be part of a home that can give him the attention and exercise he thrives on!Lucky may be best suited for a family in a single-family home (condos considered) as he’s a bit large and active for apartment life. He’s open to sharing his space with a dog who enjoys a rough-and-tumble play style. Though he’s a little unsure of cats, he’s willing to give them a chance, so a home with a feline friend is possible with the right introduction.Lucky is a great companion who rides well in the car, is housetrained and crate trained. He’s smart and knows some basic commands like sit, down, come, and give paw, and he even helps out by sitting by the door when he needs to go outside. Lucky enjoys playing with ball toys, sticks, and more, so if you’re an active family who loves outdoor adventures, he would love to join right in.Please note that Lucky has some special medical needs but still has lots of life to live and love to give.

Story

~ I can live in a single family home or condo.~ I want to live with kids over 10 years of age who are familiar with large and rambunctious dogs.~ I may like to live with a likeminded dog who has a similar rough and tumble playstyle but I have not had much experience with cats. I may be willing to share my home with a dog savvy feline.~ I am a high energy kind of dog and am looking for a home where I can get lots of exercise every day.~ I would do best in a home where someone isPeanut is a fun-loving, energetic, and cuddly Terrier Mix with a beautiful brindle coat. At 5 years old and 47.8 lbs, she’s ready to bring her spunky personality and lots of love to the right home. Peanut enjoys being brushed and will happily curl up for some quality cuddle time, but she`s also a social butterfly who thrives on attention and adventure.Previously, Peanut lived with older kids and did very well, so she would do best in a home with children over 10 years old who are familiar with energetic and rambunctious dogs. She’s also lived with one other dog and would enjoy having a likeminded companion who can keep up with her rough-and-tumble playstyle. However, she can get a little too rough during play, so she may be too much for younger children or other animals. Peanut has no experience with cats but may be willing to share her home with a dog-savvy feline.Peanut is a higher-energy dog who loves getting out for walks, especially through the woods, and is a fan of car rides and chewing on Nylabones. Peanut loves meeting new people, so much so that she`ll need some training to help her manage her excitement, as she tends to pull on the leash and jump up a bit. Peanut is still working on her potty training, so she’ll need to be taken out on a regular basis.Despite her higher energy, Peanut has a couch potato side and loves lounging around after an exciting play session. She may be vocal at times, but she’ll always make sure you know how much she loves you.Peanut needs a home where someone is around often to provide the attention and exercise she craves. If you`re looking for a loving, energetic companion who’s always up for a good playtime or snuggle session, Peanut might just be your perfect match!

Sasha

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young

New London, CT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sasha is a really good dog. I initially took her in to find her a good home because the one she was in was not healthy for her. Unfortunately I just got my skin test for allergies that have gotten worse since. I also feel horrible because I cannot pet her and cuddle with her. My children provide her lots of attention, but she would do better in a different home where her owner could show her love and the attention she deserves. She’s a sweatheart who just want cuddles and love.

Story

MEET HARLEY THE LOVE BUG! This sweet, big goober was surrendered to North Stonington Animal Control when his owner lost his housing. We were told Harley was twelve years old, but we think he must be younger: he has plenty of happy energy for daily walks, and when he meets other dogs, he jumps around and gives play bows and makes silly groaning noises. He clearly wants someone to romp with him! We think Harley would love to live with a doggie friend if he finds one with his same play energy. He gets a little too excited around cats, so a cat free home is best. Honestly, this handsome lug is going to be a super easy adoption for the right home. He greets strangers beautifully and takes treats gently; he likes other dogs and is respectful with kids (although older kids are a better bet because of his size). He chews on his toys and NOT on the furniture; if left home alone he will happily snooze until you return. He knows sit, paw, leave it, wait, and down, and can catch treats out of the air. He heeds correction from humans and other dogs. After a walk or a bit of play time, he happily settles down and loves to just hang out and watch TV. He's happiest being near you and he absolutely lives to get pets and scratches. Sounds too good to be true? Harley generally walks extremely well on leash, but if something really exciting happens, he may pull. Harley is a big boy at 75 pounds, so he will need someone who is comfortable with controlled leash walking. Honestly, that's all we can think of about Harley that isn't pretty much perfect!

He is a beautiful, outgoing, active dog. House trained. Loves to run. Unfortunately, with certain circumstances I will not be able to take care of him at this moment with rehousing until I can get into my new place who is pet friendly, I would love to keep him, but I don't have the space currently which is saddening. I just want a good home for him and hoping soon I can get him back, but he deserves to be loved and free for the time being. Just want a good family for him, loves kids and playful, never bit a person ever. He is a big cuddler.
