Meet Maximillion! He is an 18 month old Beagle/Rat Terrier mix (mom and dad are both known).with a super friendly, happy-go-lucky personality - he absolutely loves people! Maximillion weighs 24lbs and will likely fill out at 30lb perfect huggable, scoopable size. His nose is very busy, constantly taking in every smell and scent that the ground and air have to offer. Because of this, Maximillion will do best in a home where he can be kept on leash and/or will have space to safely explore within a fenced area. He would LOVE to have a job as he is constantly on the go - barn hunts, agility, or fly ball etc - apt pupil here! He is very excited to meet other dogs and would love a canine sister who is bigger than him. Kids? Yes! Maximillion would love a home with children 6 years of age and older.

We do have a screening and application process. Protectors of Animals requires a veterinarian check before any adoption.
One of our experienced Placement Team members will meet with you and show you the cat, kitten or dog you are interested in, or will guide you towards cats, kittens or dogs that are appropriate for your home environment. We will discuss with you the background of the cat, kitten or dog and what special needs or requirements he or she may have. We will happily take the time to carefully answer any questions you have or discuss any concerns.
POA does not charge an adoption “fee.” It costs POA anywhere from $100 and $400, or more, per dog or cat or kitten to make them well and prepare them for adoption. We are an all-donation organization and we rely on adoption donations to help us continue our work. When you adopt a cat or dog, we will ask for a donation. Our adoption donation information can be found at our website at www.poainc.org.

More about this rescue
We are a NO-Kill rescue and shelter for cats and dogs.
POA was formed in 1975 to rescue abandoned, abused and stray cats and dogs. Today we are one of the oldest and most respected animal welfare organizations in the northeast. POA is here to stay! You will not find a more dedicated, experienced or thorough resource for improving the lives of Connecticut cats and dogs. We confine our focus to our home state because this is where our infrastructure and resources reside, as well as our leadership.
