Hi, my name is Dolly and I am a pretty Husky/Shepherd mix, about 3 years old, 42 lbs, and I was recently a mama dog, living in a little “den” underneath the side of a vacant house with my litter of puppies. Nobody cared for weeks until freezing weather was upon us and when someone tried to save us all, I was too scared to go so they just took my puppies. I was heartbroken for days, crying and whimpering, sleeping outside in the freezing cold until a dog rescue earned my trust just enough to catch me. Fast forward a couple of months and I have been living in a foster home, finally able to put the past behind me and start having some fun again playing with the resident dogs.
I am a happy and loving girl with lots of energy for any activity, running, hiking, playing, whatever, and if I could play all day long with dogs or humans, I probably would. I’m good with people, shy at first, but I warm up quickly. I’m the submissive type with other dogs, but love to play with them and I make a very nice playmate and accept correction well from humans or dogs. I love all doggy toys, but the chew bones are my favorite. I’m very sweet and very affectionate, love being petted, and sharing doggy kisses. My foster mom says I would be amazing in agility training because I am fast and can run loops around the resident dogs during playtime. If you are an outdoor enthusiast looking for a canine companion who is exceptionally sweet and loyal with plenty of energy and enthusiasm for any activity, you’ve just hit the jackpot and found me! I will be moving to Connecticut for a much better life and lifestyle, and being part husky I’m already built for the snow, hint-hint!
* We encourage you to email us your #1, #2, and #3 choices, and we will be happy to help you find a pup to complete your family! Also, please continue watching our listings as we post new dogs multiple times a week. There is no need to fill out another application, just let us know what other dogs you are interested in as they come up.

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
