FRANKENSTEIN👻

This adorable french bulldog came in last week for his new intake exam with East Haven Animal Shelter! He was diagnosed with a skin and upper respiratory infection. That didn’t stop him from showing our staff lots of love with his sweet personality! He is currently getting all the treatments he needs to feel better!🤎🐾

Chai is still waiting for her forever home 😔 Time is running out for this poor soul! Kennel life is stressing her out & really taking a toll on her!! We are recommending she be the only dog in the house. She needs to find a furever family who is willing to take a chance on her & work with training her!!! Please share & let everyone know! 💔

🎉🎉🎉ADOPTED!!!🎉🎉🎉

We honestly can't believe Chai is still here.

When Chai first arrived, she greeted everyone with a wagging tail, a huge smile, and enough energy to light up the entire shelter. She had been abandoned—tied up outside a store and left behind—but she still loved every person she met.

Now, weeks later, Chai is still waiting for someone to give her a chance.

Shelter life is starting to take its toll on her. Chai is becoming kennel stressed, and the frustration of living in a kennel is beginning to show. She's spending her days watching people walk by, listening to barking dogs, and wondering why no one has chosen her. She's started reacting to other dogs in their kennels, something we often see when dogs struggle with the stress and confinement of shelter life.

What Chai needs isn't another day in a kennel. She needs a home.

She needs someone who can help her decompress, provide structure, exercise, and show her that life is more than four walls and chain-link fencing.

❤️ Approximately 1–2 years old
❤️ Loves people
❤️ High-energy and playful
❤️ Will be spayed before adoption
❤️ Up to date on veterinary care
❤️ Looking for an active family

Because of her recent kennel stress and dog reactivity in the shelter environment, any potential canine siblings will require a meet-and-greet prior to adoption.

We know Chai has her perfect person out there somewhere. We just need that person to see her.

Please share this post and help us find Chai the forever home she desperately deserves.

📞 East Haven Animal Shelter: (203) 468-3249

Don't let Chai spend another month waiting.
