Story
Bishop - Needs Foster or Forever home Male Pit bull type dog About 6 years old House trained Crate trained Walks well on a leash Knows basic commands Can live happily with another dog of similar size Needs a home with older children Up to date with vaccines Neutered Bishop came to us as an owner surrender. He had been rescued from a bad situation by a Good Samaritan who could not keep him. We saw him advertised on a free pets' site and contacted the owner, who was thankfully was willing to work with a rescue. After spending time in boarding while we searched for a foster home for him, Bishop has spent time in foster-based training. He has done great! Bishop loves his walks, and needs a family who will take him on adventures and continue to introduce him to new people, places, and things. He would love a family who is at home for at least part of the day - a stay-at-home parent, a retired person or couple, or someone who works from home would be ideal for him. He is happiest when he is with people. He is an absolutely wonderful, happy, affectionate dog who will make a wonderful family member.

Story
I can’t believe I even have to do this but I’m looking for a really good home for my dog. She’s housed trained she doesn’t use the bathroom in the house, she doesn’t chew things only toys she a really good dog. She doesn’t like the rain or wet grass and she loves sleeping in her cage with the door left open and she loves sheets. She’s good with big dogs not little ones and she doesn’t really like cats either. Remy would like to be the center of attention so a house with no little kids is preferred she does good with older kids. My daughter is really scared of all animals we had to rehome my cat and I tried to give it time but she just to scared of her. I would like for Remy to have a home with a backyard so she can run around something I haven’t been able to give her cause we live in an apartment building.

Digger is a petite, 4 yr old female pit mix that came to us from TX. We think she could have some Jack Russell in her too!

She is housebroken and happy to hang out on a dog bed while her foster parents work.  She loves squeaky toys and napping. She needs to be the only pet in the home. Digger is being fostered in Southern CT. ##795053##

Story
Dear Santa, Last year I was a very good girl, and I still got the shaft. This year, I've also been a very good girl, and I'm really worried that I'm going to get the shaft again. Please help out a sweetheart from the Island of Misfit toys and bring me a family to call my very own. I don't mind being a little bit of a misfit toy. On the contrary, when this wonderful rescue took me in, I had a very damaged eye and they had it removed because of the pain and irritation it was causing me. It's really no big deal, and it kind of makes me look like I'm constantly winking at you which is very fun!! Looking for love, Butterscotch To help Butterscotch's new family out with any training, accoutrements, treatos....whatever this good beauty needs to get started off on the right paw, her very own Secret Santa has donated $100 toward her adoption fee. Meet Butterscotch, a delightful adult canine who exudes sweetness and warmth. Her personality is as endearing as her name suggests. Butterscotch is an embodiment of friendliness, with a gentle demeanor that soothes everyone around her. Her mellow nature is balanced by her smart and playful side, which adds a dash of excitement to her persona. She's not just playful, she's also cuddly, offering the most comforting snuggles. Loyalty is second nature to Butterscotch, making her an ideal companion. She is a one-eyed wonder, turning her perceived handicap into a charming uniqueness. Adopt Butterscotch and experience the joy of having a loyal, playful, and gentle friend who will fill your life with love and laughter. Butterscotch is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. This dog has tested negative for heartworms. The adoption fee is $450 if your adoption is prepaid and final prior to your dog's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on dogs that are picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368. WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you! If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at our Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get a confirmation. Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back.
