My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This little lady is Shonda, and she cannot wait to meet you!
Shonda is around 3-5years old but has a grey muzzle so we say she’s closer to 5 years. She’s very personable and friendly but she takes a little bit to warm up and show her true colors. She’s not very photogenic so it’s tough to properly exhibit all of the smiling and kisses that she bestows on us individually. Shonda is very tidy but loves to obliterate the occasional toy or nearly devour a marrow bone. She’s a loud and proud cat chaser so none of those for her! She does appreciate other dogs her size but a large pack is too much for her at this time. She’s had a bunch of friends but is an anti big as a German Shepherd kind of girl. This chick is heavy on the Cattle Dog Mix and who knows what else is stirred in the pot. Older kids are better/ not because she doesn’t like them or people, just because of the slower warm on a new person. Shonda can’t have ten thousand stairs in a home, okay that’s dramatic but you know what we mean. Less is more in the stair department. She’s apparently got an ataxic body and can get stiff. She’s got a wonky gait but Vet claims she great and not in pain, that there’s no need to fret. She gets joint supplements and runs all over. We adore her and we know you will too!

More about this rescue

Our goal is to help the animals and citizens that need us.
Our reach is far, wide and we do our best to never refuse aid. Through education, support and life saving,we hope to make a difference in Connecticut.

We strive to get as many dogs adopted as possible via our rescue. We have our own dog shelter and hold weekend adoption events to find forever homes for our pups. We provide veterinary care, behavioral assessments and training to make each animal successful in its new forever home. Though we no longer adopt cats out, we do assist other local rescues in the networking of homeless cats, including trapping and trap-neuter-release.

We collect food, toys and other needs for our rescued dogs including veterinary donations for their care while in rescue. We network for dogs at local shelters and lend a hand to our rescue friends whenever we can. We also advocate for the well being of the dogs and their living conditions and strive to better improve the long standing customer service issues at many Connecticut Animal Control facilities. We also help the public with questions, training, referrals to veterinarians etc. Through constant media promotion and proper assessments of the dogs, we hope to save as many lives as possible in our day to day mission.

This RESCUE group is CT registered and has APPROVED 501(c)3 status with the Internal Revenue Service. All donations to Brass City Rescue Alliance are tax deductible.
