Demon came with the name, but he definitely could use a new, more fitting one in his new forever home! He is about 3 to 5yrs old and has some vision impairments. 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.

Story
Our beautiful Bella Bear is looking to find her forever family! Bella is the most loving dog, giving big hugs and is an extreme cuddler with her people. Bella is housebroken, and would love a family that would participate in group training classes to help build her confidence and help with some of her energy! Bella is good with other dogs, but we believe would do best with a home with other medium/large docile males - she gets very jealous sharing attention with other female dogs. If you're interested in meeting Bella, please fill out the application on our website www.naugatuckanimalcontrol.com

Story
We adopted Oakley in October as a companion for our other dog. He is rambunctious and high energy which proved to make him a poor companion to our other dog who is a more mellow couch potato. He is also a grade-A snuggler and an overall sweetie. We are sad to have to rehome him but we have to keep the peace in our home and want him to be safe.
