Zippo is about 6 months old and 37 pounds of snuggly love! This little low rider barely comes to his foster mom's knees and she's a short little gal herself. We don't know about his parents, but we suspect there is basset in there somewhere. He's just the cutest little stubby fellow you'll ever meet. In addition to being cute, this fellow is full of kindness and love. He plays nicely with other pups and is very people oriented. HIs foster family has taught him so many wonderful things.....like going potty outside is a good thing. Walking nicely on leash is very mannerly. Sleeping through the night in your crate makes for a very good sleep. If you're looking for a long distance hiking / jogging buddy, Zippo might not be for you. He likes to play, but he's not up for a marathon or looking to be a contestant on the Amazing Race. He prefers a lower key method of living. which includes a little bit of play, several naps a day, a snack here and there, and snuggling up on the couch to watch some TV. This little boy will be waiting to meet you at a CT adoption event OR we'll happily set up a meet and greet with his foster family upon application approval. This puppy Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. Visit our website to see our weekend Events here! Pups with the designated “meet me” next to their names are in CT and ready to attend adoption events. Please check with your adoption coordinator if you are interested in a specific dog prior to coming to an event, as a dog's availability to attend can change at any time. We can not guarantee approval on site at the events, so we recommend applying ahead of time. You can apply at the event, but the application process may not be able to be completed the same day. If you are not pre-approved, you are still welcome to come and meet pups at the event! The adoption fee is $500 which includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, and the mandatory CT HB 5368 fee. More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the 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 an automatically generated confirmation email. Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back. After receipt of your application, an adoption counselor will then be in touch to answer your questions about this pup, discuss the adoption process and get the ball rolling!

OH. MY. GOODNESS. Can we all just take a second to appreciate these ears?! Seriously... they're soft, floppy, covered in the cutest little spots, and somehow make Stella Strudel even more irresistible than she already is. Add in her longer, low-to-the-ground body, those soulful eyes, and her love for climbing into your lap, and you've got a puppy that's basically impossible not to fall in love with. Stella may be a little shy when you first meet her, but give her a little kindness, a few sweet words, and before you know it, she's handing out kisses and acting like she's known you forever. Watch Stella's video and prepare to fall head over heels: https://youtu.be/VqNMgy55fwg?si=XvNnbbOyi_5yowdr At approximately 6 months old and around 30 pounds, Stella is our best guess at a Pittie mix with maybe a little Basset Hound mixed in, but with animal rescue, it's always a mystery! Whatever breeds came together to create this adorable girl, they gave her those irresistible floppy ears, her unique low-rider build, and the sweetest personality you could ask for. Stella is the perfect mix of playful and affectionate. She loves playing with toys, exploring the world around her, and joining in on fun with her dog friends, but she's just as happy curling up in your lap afterward. If you're sitting on the floor—or honestly anywhere within reach—don't be surprised if Stella decides your lap is exactly where she belongs. She's incredibly affectionate and absolutely loves giving kisses once she's comfortable. Watching her come out of her shell is one of the most rewarding parts of getting to know her. She currently lives in a foster home with multiple dogs, including a large dog and a smaller Dachshund/Chihuahua mix, and gets along wonderfully with both. She's also done great meeting new dogs and has a lovely play style that's more about romping alongside her friends than playing too rough. She'll happily join in for a wrestling match every now and then, but she's naturally a gentle girl who enjoys simply being part of the fun. We think she'd love another friendly, playful dog in her forever home, but she'd also do well as your one-and-only companion as long as she has plenty of love. Stella is also fostered with cats and has done wonderfully. While they don't spend a ton of time interacting, she's always respectful when they do cross paths. She also met our house cat, Biggie, and completely won us over by greeting him with the sweetest little kisses. We'd definitely consider her cat-friendly based on what we've seen. Treats are another one of Stella's favorite things... and trust us, this girl has quite the nose! She can hear a treat bag crinkle from what feels like a mile away and is more than happy to come see what goodies you've got. She also loves toys and enjoys carrying them around or entertaining herself during playtime. Stella is crate trained, comfortable in her kennel, and settles in quietly when it's time to relax. She's still working on potty training, so her future family will need to continue helping her build those good habits with consistency, patience, and routine as she grows. Like any young puppy, Stella is still learning about the world around her. She'll thrive with a family that's committed to continuing her socialization, training, and confidence building. The beautiful thing about Stella is that every day you get to watch her confidence grow just a little bit more, and it's incredibly rewarding to see. If you're looking for a puppy with the sweetest heart, the floppiest ears, and enough cuddles to last a lifetime, Stella is ready to fill your home with puppy kisses, happy romps through the yard, and a best friend you'll wonder how you ever lived without. We are willing to test Stella Strudel with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69f8cfe61bde1dd817021fcf Questions?
