⭐️ DOGGIE SPOTLIGHT ON ATHENA!

Wow…this girl is SPECIAL!!! And yes, she’s fully grown at 19 lbs.!

❤️ Meet ATHENA!

ATHENA is the perfect size...and she’s beautiful, too! She’s a mix of who knows what, is about 3 years old and weighs 19 lbs.

ATHENA is a very well-balanced girl...independent yet engaging, snuggly yet not overbearing. She is highly intelligent, has excellent recall and seems to enjoy the tennis ball, too! She is mostly just chilling out though.

ATHENA is great with dogs of all sizes is one of those special dogs that can read the room...a very unique trait! She is just a very content and easy dog who just seems grateful to be safe and loved.

ATHENA came from a drug house where life was obviously unpredictable minute to minute. How she remained such an incredible dog coming from such a crazy environment is truly incredible.

⭐️ DOGGIE SPOTLIGHT ON KYRA!

❤️ Meet KYRA (aka Cayenne)!

KYRA is such a little butterball! She is a round little chihuahua, about 3 years old and weighs about 11 lbs.

* Don’t worry, her belly is just shaved from her recent spay 🙂

KYRA is looking for a lap to lay in and humans to give her belly rubs. She is quite the character and is super affectionate and lovable!

KYRA is in foster with dogs big and small...she thinks she’s the boss and everyone just lets her think she is!

She is the ultimate snuggler! Crate & Potty Trained, too!

⭐️ DOGGIE SPOTLIGHT ON WIGGLES!

This little sweetie has bern getting overlooked…and she’s precious! She’s still slightly shy, but her personality is so sweet and is coming out more and more each day!

❤️ Meet WIGGLES!

WIGGLES is the most adorable long legged, Pug/Chihuahua looking mix little girl! She is about 4-5 years old and weighs about 14 lbs.

WIGGLES is fantastic with dogs of all sizes and loves all humans, too! She is a mostly low-key girl with little spurts of s***k (mostly a case of the zoomies). She’s well behaved, easy to care for and seems to be crate & potty trained, too!

❤️ Meet OREO!

OREO is an adorable female terrier puppy at about 7 months and weighs about 12 lbs.

You’ll need a toy bin for this cutie pie! She loves pulling out toys and playing with other dogs. She was intimidated by larger dogs at first, but all good now! She also is cat, horse and goat and kid friendly!

Super sweet and affectionate, loves adventures and outdoor fun!

🩷 Okay, after very careful consideration...we strongly believe that Bonnie and Clyde do NOT need to stay together after all. Again they came into rescue with several other dogs, and among the group they separate and really do their own thing. In fact, when separated...their personalities really shine even more!

So...BONNIE is available! And she is the sweetest, and teeniest pug we've ever met!
BONNIE is only 10 Ibs. and is about 3-6 years old.

She has plenty of s***k and is whole comedy show, but at the same time she can't resist a good snuggle session either.

BONNIE loves other dogs and every human she meets! Crate trained and walks nicely on leash, too!

⭐️ DOGGIE SPOTLIGHT ON SAGE!

❤️ Meet SAGE!

SAGE is a super cute petite little chihuahua mix puppy at about 6 months and weighs about 7 lbs.

SAGE is playful, snuggly, sweet and just look at that face! Loves getting her zoomies on in the yard and romping around with other little dogs.

She’s learning so much from the older dogs and is building confidence each day! Don’t let her meek side fool you…she’s got s***k, too!

When held, she loves to just curl up in your arms and snuggle!

❤️ Another rainy Sunday in CT…but we have some news to brighten your day!

STEVIE NICKS aka CARDI B HAS FOUND HER FOREVER FAMILY!

Finding a loving home for a pit bull can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. But the right families are out there, and STEVIE is proof!

This lucky girl had so many angels in her corner throughout her journey. Her story wasn’t a straight path to happily ever after. She was found wandering along an exit ramp in New Haven, and thankfully, Zach was the one who spotted her.

Not everyone would have stopped, scooped her up, gotten her to a veterinarian, and paid for the life-saving emergency surgery she required. And not everyone would have opened their home to foster her while we searched for her perfect match.

We are so grateful for our amazing network of supporters who share our posts, spread the word and help deserving dogs like STEVIE find their safe place to land. It truly takes a village!

Happy Adoption STEVIE!
