Areas CT Herding Dog Rescue serves
CT Herding Dog Rescue (CTHDR)
CT Herding Dog Rescue is dedicated to helping herding breeds in need of being saved from shelters and other situations, and adopted in to permanent homes.
CT Herding Dog Rescue is located in northeast Connecticut. Dogs are fostered on-location for a minimum of two weeks, typically one month. We will help shelters in need in other states and arrange transport to Connecticut to foster care. We have pulled dogs from Kentucky, West Virginia, North and South Carolina, and as far as Texas.
We typically will take Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, German Shepherds, and other herding dog breeds, including mixes.
All dogs that are placed are current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, spayed or neutered, dewormed for internal parasites, on heartworm preventative and flea and tick preventative.
Once they have been evaluated for their own likes and dislikes, we can begin to give them basic obedience training which in most cases will need to be continued in their new home.
CT Herding Dog Rescue is registered with the State of Connecticut.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
