Story
Mitzi was owner- surrender as her owner decided he didn't want her anymore. This is where CPR comes into her life! Mitzi is the perfect-sized little girl that we believe is around 18 months old. She weighs around 48 pounds and is full-grown. She is housetrained and crate-trained. Mitzi was not treated good at her last home and she is warming up nicely knowing she will never be mistreated again.The only thing she is having to learn from that living situation is trusting people. Once she knows she is safe, she warms up nicely. She has even learned that it is ok to jump up on the couch and snuffle with her foster mommy and other doggies. She loves running and playing with the other foster dogs. She has mastered walking on a leash and has done so well with it! All she needs to learn is that she will never be mistreated ever again. Some patience and TLC is all this girl needs!! Mitzi is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. All dogs 6 month + receive a Proheart 6 injection at the time of their heartworm test. This provides heartworm prevention for 6 months from the time of that injection. This dog has tested positive for heartworms, but has received her treatment and is ready to travel to her forever home. 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.

Story
Meet Dougie! This little chunk of happiness is a year old and around 55 pounds. Dougie is your typical little white potato AmStaff mix who is playful, sweet and loves kids and other dogs. Dougie is submissive to the grouchy old dogs in his foster home and his favorite minutes of the day are when he can convince them to play. He also loves to snuggle on the couch when his tiny little t-Rex arms get him up there or when the teenagers give him a boost up. Dougie is a handsome little short king who has all the rizz with the neighborhood kids. He will make a fun little companion for just about any home. Dougie has a nice medium energy level which is a rare find for a young pup - when he gets rambunctious it’s short lived and he’s very content to just be with his people, occasionally making little piggy noises. Dougie is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. All dogs 6 month + receive a Proheart 6 injection at the time of their heartworm test. This provides heartworm prevention for 6 months from the time of that injection. The adoption fee is $500 which includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, and the mandatory CT HB 5368 fee. This dog tested negative for heartworms. Visit our website to see our weekend Events here! Pups with the designated “meet me” next to their names are in CT and ready to attend adoption events. Please check with your adoption coordinator if you are interested in a specific dog prior to coming to an event, as a dog's availability to attend can change at any time. We can not guarantee approval on site at the events, so we recommend applying ahead of time. You can apply at the event, but the application process may not be able to be completed the same day. If you are not pre-approved, you are still welcome to come and meet pup’s at the event!

Story
Baby dog Drew is about 12 weeks old and ready for a home to call his very own! This little nugget loves to play with other pups and loves all the nice people that he meets. He'll be a fun addition to any loving home. This puppy Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. Visit our website to see our weekend Events here! Pups with the designated “meet me” next to their names are in CT and ready to attend adoption events. Please check with your adoption coordinator if you are interested in a specific dog prior to coming to an event, as a dog's availability to attend can change at any time.

If you are not pre-approved, you are still welcome to come and meet pup’s at the event! The adoption fee is $600 which includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, and the mandatory CT HB 5368 fee. More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the 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.

RELAY IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE ADOPTED!     Relay is a loving 6 year old looking for his true forever home. He loves to snuggle with you on the couch or bed, but also loves to get out. Relay enjoys his daily walks and trips to the dog park. In his foster home he does well playing with other dogs, cats, and kids. Though he does well with my dogs and kids I personally think he would be best in a kid free home, or older children, or maybe an active person/couple. He loves big! He picks his person and is protector. He’s really a great dog, but he needs patience, reassurance, and love. Relay is a house trained and kennel trained. He is perfect for your active home. He is completely vetted. Vetting includes spaying/neutering, microchip, rabies as well as all puppy vaccinations, and has been on preventatives. His adoption fee of $550 includes the transport to CT. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Relay up north to his new family.   If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com You can apply to adopt Relay here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 1:30 pm
