Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Who says professionals don't like to be snuggled up like a widdle bay-bay? Certainly not Sawyer! Friends, our very very good boy Sawyer has got it all. This sweet dude has been chillin’ in foster care with one of our amazing volunteers for a couple months now, and he's learning the ropes so he can be the very best boy for you. House trained? Yep. Crate approved? For sure. Leash skills? Doing great (check out that video!). And his foster family raves about how sweet and loving this good boy is. He just can't get enough snuggle time with his favorite peeps. And while he loves his foster family, any 2 legger with a free hand for belly rubs pretty much qualifies as his fav. The only thing Sawyer loves more than humans are his fellow doggy friends. If there's playing to be had, Sawyer is all in. He runs, he chases, he fetches, he makes ridiculously funny faces… There is never a dull moment with Sawyer around. Plus he’s got that head tilt down pat. And the cherry on top? Sawyer is a puppy without the puppy shenanigans. His last couple months hanging in foster waiting for someone to be smart enough to see his looong list of amazing qualities means he’s had an awesome family teaching him how to “dog”. He’s the best of both worlds, what we like to refer to as a “professional puppy”. Sawyer is ready and waiting for an awesome family to grow up with. Is it yours? Read on to learn more about bringing this sweet, silly boy home for good.
This puppy is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives.
The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies 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.
WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you!
More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds.
If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the 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 11 am-1 pm. 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.
