Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Shotgun is a 4-6 year old Lab. He appears to be full blooded. He weighs in at 96 lbs and is just one of the nicest dogs I’ve met. He is a tri-pod. His left rear leg was removed when he was a puppy due to injuries received from a shotgun blast (this is where the name Shotgun came from). A young man found this injured pup at a gas station and took care of him. The new owners were in the military and loved him but when deployed overseas, had to give him up. He went to family members who took good care of him but when they moved, they didn’t have a fenced in area for him and turned him over to CPR. Sadly, even though he was on preventative, he tested heartworm positive. He has been treated and is doing great.
He is an all-around great dog. He has good manners, is housebroken, quiet, dog and cat and kid friendly. He goes to the backdoor and asks to go out when he needs to. He is sweet and friendly and isn’t a barker or a drooler. He is a champion napper and tail wagger. He loves chewies and couldn’t be a nicer fellow. He gets around great on his three legs. The only thing he needs is a TRUE forever home. FOREVER. If you think you need to adopt the greatest dog ever, here he his…go to cprdogs.com to fill out an application for this fine gentleman.
This dog is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. This dog has tested positive for heartworms and has been treated. The adoption fee is $400 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.
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 10am-Noon. 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.
