My story

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

Scotty came to AATDR from a local CT pound where he'd been surrendered by his family.

Don't let Scotty's age fool you - he's a happy, energetic little guy! He loves playtime with other dogs, and long walks and running around in the yard (a fenced yard would be great for him!).

He also attaches strongly and quickly to his people, and is an absolute cuddle-bug once he does that.

Scotty has a pretty typical chihuahua personality - anyone who has known or owned this breed and understands that personality potentially would be a great home for him.

He's living in a foster home right now and loving life. This cutie pie absolutely deserves his very own forever family.

If you live in CT and would like to be Scotty's family, please let us know!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We're a 100% foster-based rescue. We do hold adoption events that are posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages and also on our website. In terms of meeting our dogs, the usual process is for one of our volunteers to bring them to your home to meet you. We always want to see how our dog fits into a potential new foster or forever environment.

More about this rescue

All About the Dogs Rescue is a small rescue started by a group of experienced, dedicated rescuers who realized we can do more to help together than we could individually. We may be small, but we're mighty and are dedicated to helping as many dogs as we can. We don't just take easy dogs. We have helped dogs with medical conditions that have required substantial treatment, and dogs that need training to become the best versions of themselves. We work hard to take care of all of our dogs medical and training needs prior to adoption. Our goal is to make sure they have much happier futures than they have pasts, and that they and their new family mesh into a terrific new family unit.

As a small, fairly new rescue, we're still building our team! We always need fosters and volunteers. Please apply to join with us - the more fosters and volunteers we have, the more we can do to help!

As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, we can only do what we do for the dogs because of generous donors. If you can donate to help us help them, we'd be so grateful!
