Bloodhound puppies and dogs in Bristol, Connecticut

This is one of the hardest things to write. After 4 years I have decided to post this. Mac is a great boy. Seriously the best. He loves to play and a has a great heart. He loves humans so much it will annoy you. Unfortunately with my life situation he is in a small apartment.I feel guilty and want what’s best for him. I just want a family who loves him as much as me. He’s a baby. About Mac. He’s a love, he loves attention. He will want to cuddle all the time. He loves to be pet. He does get over stimulated. When he gets excited he can get High energy. Definitely better this last year but can get high energy. He loves to be outside and play. He can run around with other dogs all day long. He loves to be chased and sometimes chase you. He’s a love. PS, he knows Spanish and English!

Meet Nelson 💙 a barely-one-year-old, 80-ish-pound giant baby who missed the memo that he is not, in fact, lap-sized. Nelson is what happens when a puppy grows way faster than his brain. He truly, genuinely believes he was born to live in your lap, be spooned like a teddy bear, and receive constant affection at all times. Sit down for even half a second? Boom! Nelson is climbing into your space, curling up, and sighing dramatically like, “Ah yes, this is where I belong.” His foster proudly reports that she spoons him, and honestly… that tracks. See what Nelson’s all about in his video! https://youtu.be/zsZ2Yipfz4U?si=813teQsG80cocPpL We think Nelson may be a Rottweiler/Bloodhound mix, mostly because: • he has SO much extra skin and rolls • his paws are absolutely massive • he’s going to be a big boy • and he has that gentle, droopy, soft-faced charm He’s a big, goofy, derby puppy with a calm soul. While he loves to play, tug, chase toys, and bounce around like a goober, he is also extremely mellow for his age. Nelson is very much a “play a little, nap a LOT” kind of guy. When he runs, he jiggles. All of him. It’s incredible. Truly a sight to behold. With dogs, Nelson is a dream. He’s friendly, submissive, polite, and just wants everyone to know he means absolutely no harm. He loves other dogs, plays well, accepts corrections, and happily shares toys with his foster sister. Tug toys? YES. Balls? YES. Sharing nicely? Also yes. He’d love another playful dog friend but would also be perfectly happy soaking up all the love as a solo pup. Nelson has been around his foster’s 7- and 13-year-old grandkids and does AMAZING. He is gentle, sweet, tolerant, and affectionate, truly the definition of kid-friendly. Despite his size, he’s careful with his body and just wants to love everyone. Nelson did so well in his cat test. He was very curious about the cat (because, honestly, everything is interesting when you’re a big goofy puppy), but he stayed gentle and respectful. He didn’t show aggression and handled himself calmly, though he was definitely invested in keeping tabs on where the cat went. Because of his size and curiosity, we’d recommend slow introductions and ideally a confident, dog-savvy cat — an overnight test would be a great way to make sure everyone feels comfortable. With proper management and time to adjust, Nelson has the potential to coexist well with feline friends. He’s also: 🐾 Crate trained 🐾 Walks easily on leash 🐾 Knows how to sit 🐾 Calm inside 🐾 Affectionate to his core He could absolutely live in an apartment (yes, really) thanks to his laid-back, couch-potato tendencies, as long as the apartment is cool with big, lovable boys. That said, he’d also adore a yard where he can sniff, wander, and do a few jiggly laps before coming back inside to nap dramatically. Nelson is the kind of dog who makes people laugh without trying. He’s sweet, squishy, silly, gentle, and full of love. If you’re looking for a giant puppy who thinks he’s tiny, wants to cuddle 24/7, and will happily become your shadow, Nelson is ready to flop into your life, probably directly onto your lap 💙 Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

  Barney is the kind of dog that makes people stop mid-sentence and say, “Now that is a Bloodhound.” Born May 20, 2025, he’s still very much a baby at heart—even if that baby already weighs 75 pounds and is expected to grow well past 100 as he matures. Big, goofy, gentle, and full of personality, Barney is as sweet as he is stunning.   He has the perfect mix of playful energy and laidback charm. One minute he’s romping around the house with his tiny Parsons Russell Terrier girlfriend like a clumsy, oversized puppy playing hide and seek, and the next he’s sprawled across the floor looking completely content with life. Watching the two of them wrestle and chase each other is pure comedy and proof that best friends don’t have to come in matching sizes.   Barney is fully house trained and has wonderful manners in the home. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and is perfectly comfortable with cats. His long ears are still growing into him, his rich crimson coat shines, and he is healthy, strong, and thriving. He is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up to date on all vaccinations.   Despite his future “small pony” size, Barney believes he belongs as close to his person as possible. Lap dog may not be realistic, but resting his big hound head on your shoulder absolutely is. He wants to be wherever you are and would happily ride shotgun for every errand, road trip, or adventure you can dream up.   Because of his size and hound instincts, Barney will need a fenced yard or plenty of safe space where he can stretch those long legs and explore. More than anything, he wants a person to call his own—a sidekick for life. Bring Barney home and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without a Bloodhound.   Ready to go now.Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comJanuary 19, 2026, 12:14 pm

*Name: Moose *Age: 8 years young *Current Weight: 60 lbs *Rescued from: South Carolina *Adoption fee: $300  Meet Moose! Moose’s story is one of second chances, and a whole lot of heart. He was adopted as a puppy in South Carolina, but somewhere along the way, life took a few unexpected turns. Recently, this sweet boy was found roaming the streets as a stray — lost, but not forgotten. Thankfully, his microchip led him back to the very shelter where his journey began, and they reached out to SNARR for help. Of course, we couldn’t say no to this handsome guy! Now 8 years young, Moose still has plenty of pep in his step and a big personality to match. He’s the perfect blend of playful and chill — old enough to know the ropes, but still full of joy for walks, treats, and snuggles. Moose dreams of a forever home where he’ll never again have to wonder where he’ll sleep (though he may have a tough time deciding between his bed and yours) or when his next meal will come (he’d prefer it from you, but he’s open to takeout — maybe a juicy steak or a cheeseburger and fries ). Could you be the one to give Moose the happily-ever-after he’s been waiting for — a lifetime filled with love, comfort, and companionship? Moose is ready to come home — could that home be yours?

Scout is a neutered male hound/weimaraner mix (see his DNA results), weighing about 40-45 lbs! He is a sweet, special boy who has had a rough past and really needs an angel to step up and save his life. His estimated age is 5-6 years old, however he has graying on his muzzle which makes him look older than he is. He also has scars on his ears and face.   This boy has definitely experienced trauma and he is slow to trust people, but deep down he just wants to love and be loved.  He is misunderstood and has had people let him down too many times. Scout bonds closely to one person and once he trusts you, you will feel the love and adoration every time he looks into your eyes!  He is a lazy couch potato who loves to nap on the couch next to you and will follow you around the house like your shadow.  Once you’ve really earned his love, he will steal your slippers or other little trinkets that smell like you and take them onto the couch to keep close to him.  He won’t chew them, he just wants to keep a piece of you with him always.   Scout has been adopted and returned once due to fearful aggressive behavior towards men and children. He has been in his current foster home for over a year now and has not had any adopt interest. He is a good boy, but he requires a very specific type of home to do well, and we have not had any luck finding the right home for him   His current foster mom loves him and has worked hard to help him be the best boy he can be, but there is a man in the home and Scout just cannot comfortably coexist with a man. He (the man) understands that Scout’s aggression towards him comes from a place of fear and he has tried hard to earn Scout’s trust, but we feel that Scout would do best in a home with NO men.  Scout’s ideal home: A female only home, no men, children, or cats.  Scout does very well with other dogs and likes to be near them, he also has bursts of playful enjoy and will happily romp around for a play session! A friendly, confident doggo friend would help him to feel safe and to trust, although he would also do just fine as an only dog.  A quiet, calm home environment is best for Scout. He is lower energy and is happy to nap on the couch all day, but he does also love walks (he is strong and tends to pull, so he needs someone strong enough to handle him).   He needs a home that will commit to crating him in a separate room when they have visitors over, as he is not good with new people and when Scout is fearful, he relies on aggression to keep him safe and to keep the “scary” thing away.  Scout needs someone to love him for who he is, warts and all, who will set him up for success and advocate for him. Scout is currently being fostered in CT. If you think you might be a good fit for Scout, please consider applying to foster or adopt him!   Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs.  We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted.  As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding! ##1778132##

Meet Bruno, a handsome young neutered male mixed breed doggo! Recent DNA shows 29% Plott hound, 12% Chihuahua (), and several other breeds at smaller percentages. He is 50% hound breeds - full DNA results available on request. He is approximately 1 year old and weighs about 37 lbs - the perfect size! Pictures really don't do this guy justice, he's got the most beautiful brindle coat and the BEST ears!   Bruno is a friendly, energetic boy who gets along well with other dogs, people, and kids (we recommend older kids 8+ as he is an exuberant young guy and may unintentionally knock over a small child). He has not been cat tested, so we are unsure how he would do with cats. Bruno is smart and food motivated, he has been taking training classes to work on manners and impulse control, and he has been doing GREAT! The ideal home for Bruno is one where he will get plenty of mental and/or physical stimulation to set him up for success. He would also LOVE a fenced in yard of his own and maybe another playful pup in the home to keep him company! From Bruno's current foster:  "Bruno came to Connecticut early September, thought to be an older puppy or young adult. Happily, absolutely no aggression, but lots of energy. Fast forward three months, and he is a great dog, LOVES training and has great focus! He is very food motivated.  He enjoys our fenced yard and chew bones, and loves his weekly training sessions, where he has mastered look, touch, sit, down, wait and leave it.  I know he can be your forever companion as long as he has an active life or daily job. Maybe agility? Hiking? With more training, maybe a service dog or companion dog? Bruno is not a great match for someone working away from home 8 hrs/day, a first time dog owner who wants “an easy pet” or a family with small members as he is exuberant." Bruno is medically up to date, 95% housebroken (expect accidents the first few days while adjusting to a new home/routine), and crate trained.
