Story
Introducing Miss Winnie! Even though her exact breed may be a mystery, we do know this lovable goofball is a delightful mix of sweet and sassy. She's still a pup, but she is learning the importance of walking on a leash and the comfort of a cozy nap in her crate. This social butterfly hasn’t met a soul she doesn’t absolutely adore! With her wagging tail and boundless enthusiasm, Winnie brings joy to everyone she encounters. Her playful antics often leave her humans laughing and chasing after her as she darts around the yard with her favorite squeaky toy. Despite her mischievous streak, Winnie has a heart of gold and loves nothing more than snuggling up on the couch after a day of adventures

Story
Mitzi was owner- surrender and needed to be moved where she could thrive. This is where CPR comes into her life! Mitzi is the perfect-sized little girl that we believe is around 2.5 years old. She weighs around 48 pounds and is full-grown. She is housetrained and crate-trained. Mitzi needed a lot of TLC and is getting that in her foster home. She is shy at first. Once she gets to know you, she warms up nicely. She has even learned that it is ok to jump up on the couch and snuggle with her foster mommy and other doggies. This girl is very affectionate and once she knows her person she will be extremely grateful and lovable. She absolutely adores other dogs! She loves running and playing with the other foster dogs as well! Mitzi loves to ride in the car and will take in all the sites with enjoyment. She has mastered walking on a leash and has done so well with it! All she needs to learn is that she will never be mistreated ever again. Some patience and TLC is all this girl needs!! Mitzi has a video of her playing with a puppy and she loves her!! Visit the link to watch the video! https://youtube.com/shorts/vSmh_zmHv70 Another video of her riding in the car is at https://youtube.com/shorts/5IILulxoPE4 Mitzi is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. All dogs 6 month + receive a Proheart 6 injection at the time of their heartworm test. This provides heartworm prevention for 6 months from the time of that injection. This dog has tested positive for heartworms, but has received her treatment and is ready to travel to her forever home. The adoption fee is $450 if your adoption is prepaid and final prior to your dog's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on dogs that are picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368. WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you! If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at our Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get a confirmation.

Story
Meet Mary Ann and Ginger, an adorable bonded pair of medium-sized rescue dogs who are searching for their forever home. These super cute girls have spent their entire lives on their own until they were recently rescued. Despite their rough beginnings, Mary Ann and Ginger are incredibly sweet and are now learning to enjoy the comforts of a loving home. Both Mary Ann and Ginger get along wonderfully with other dogs, though they haven't had the chance to meet any cats yet. They need a patient adopter who will give them the time and space they need to adjust to their new surroundings and discover the joys of being cherished pets. Ginger, who bravely underwent heartworm treatment, is now healthy and heartworm negative. Both dogs are fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and on preventatives. They even tolerate baths and absolutely love being petted. Currently, Mary Ann and Ginger are being fostered in Seguin, TX, where they are receiving the care and love they deserve. If you have a kind heart and a gentle hand, these two sweethearts will surely reward you with endless affection and loyalty. Adopt Mary Ann and Ginger and give them the loving home they've always dreamed of.
