My personality

My story

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

We need to get serious about Ken. He's been in boarding for *well over a year!* That is not fair to Ken, and it's also not feasible financially for our rescue. *He needs to be in a home for the holidays!* There is absolutely NO reason for him not to be in a home - because Ken is a great dog! Please read the post and if you're in CT and can foster or would like to foster-to-adopt Ken, fill out an application today! https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved

❗ About 3 years old
❗ Good with other dogs of similar size
❗ No cats or small animals
❗ Good with slightly older children 12+ years old
❗ House trained (but has been in boarding for a long time so may need a refresher course)
❗ Crate trained
❗ Knows basic commands
❗ Working on leash manners
❗ Up to date with vaccines

We will give preference to families with experience with the breed.

The best present you can give Ken for the holidays is a HOME! Ken has grown up in rescue and spent his young adult life in boarding. He needs a family to love and to love him, and he needs that now! He's already waited entirely too long.

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!
