A Pup's Pizzazz Rescue

Animal rescue in Woodbury, CT

A Pups' Pizzazz Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We pull all of our dogs from high kill shelters located in South Carolina and are able to care for these dogs soley through the loving hearts and open homes of fosters in the New England area, predominately Connecticut. We are dedicated to saving the lives of innocent dogs, whose only crime was being born! All our dogs are living in and cared for by foster homes. Please know that this means we do not have a facility in which you are able to come and visit. We are fully run by volunteers and if you would like to meet a particular dog or two, a volunteer will happily schedule a time to bring the dog to your home or you may meet them at one of the upcomong adoption events in which we are a guest. 

With the help from our volunteers and fosters, when our dogs arrive, we take them into our care where we ensure they receive proper veterinary care, high quality food, socialization, love, and affection! We try our best to teach them manners and socialize them as much as possible! We are dedicated to ensuring these pups are safe and healthy so that they may find their forever loving home!

We unfortunately do not have a facility in which the public can visit. All dog meet and greets, visits, and adoptions will be conducted in public pre-approved and agreed upon locations by the rescue and the potential adopter.

​Our Mission 
Bringing happiness to people through the love of animals in need.

​Here at A Pups' Pizzazz we strive to save homeless, unloved, unwanted canines by opening our hearts, so that one day they find their forever home. By doing so, we provide the canine companion with the best possible life, turning them from having nobody to having somebody calling them a loved one, best friend, and family member. Not only does the canine benefit, but the human companion does as well, in more ways than one. 

A Pups' Pizzazz Rescue understands the canine-human bond, and for that, we embrace it. Through the love of one very special canine companion, who taught us how to love and how to be loved, we are able to help both dogs and humans find one another.

Additional adoption info

We know that the adoption process can be challenging and confusing, especially if it's your first time adopting. A Pups' Pizzazz aims to make the adoption process simple and fun! We have an adoption application that can be filled out and submitted on our website. 

KEY POINTS TO KNOW:
In order to give our pups their best shot at a wonderful forever home, WE DO NOT HOLD DOGS for applicants who are unable to bring home a dog after an approved application and approved meet-and-greet. We still encourage you to fill out an application when you begin looking, but if there will be a period of time before you are ready to bring a new dog home, we cannot guarantee that any particular dog will still be available when you are ready to adopt.

Many dogs receive multiple applications and our volunteers work as fast as they can to approve great candidates to continue with our adoption process. With this, there may be multiple approved applicants that would make wonderful adopters, interested in the same dog. Those approved applicants that are able to schedule a meet-and-greet sooner rather than later have the best chance to be approved in the last step of our adoption process and are able to bring home the pup.

If you are interested in a pup that has been adopted, we will contact you with this update. Please do not be discouraged. If you are an approved adopter, we will do whatever we can to match you with another wonderful pup that is the right fit for you.

Our rescue is run by a small team of volunteers and while we make every effort to keep all sites in which we advertise our pups up-to-date, you may see some variation from site to site as our volunteers are limited on time. Feel free to text us if you want to know if a particular pup is still available for adoption or if you like our rescue and would like for us to have your application on file regardless of which pups are currently available, please go staight to filling out an adoption application.

ADOPTION PROCESS:​
Once we have reviewed your application, a rescue representative will contact you letting you know whether or not your application has been approved.

If approved, a meet and greet visit is scheduled.

If a successful match is made, the adopter and rescue will complete the adoption process with contract paperwork (in-home adoptions), gifting the agreed upon cash donation, and the pup going to their new home that very same day! All dogs go home with a collar, leash, and a packet of their medical paperwork.

*Adoption donations can be given through Venmo or Paypal.*

We are a small rescue who deeply cares and loves all of our dogs. Adoption fees are put toward shelter pull-fees (yes, we have to pay to save them from kill shelters!), boarding, transportation, spay/neuter, vaccines, state health certificates, microchipping, veterinary care, and food. 

​Please note: Our rescue is fully dependent on foster volunteers and insist that everyone respect the privacy of those individuals' properties. We unfortunately do not have a facility in which the public can visit. No private residence is to be visited to view nor adopt dogs. All dog meet and greets, visits, and adoptions will be conducted in public pre-approved and agreed upon locations by the rescue and the potential adopter.
