Story
Meet Russell Russell is an absolute sweetheart with a calm, loving personality and wonderful house manners. He enjoys playing with the other dogs each morning and evening, and during the workday he’s perfectly content to relax quietly at your feet. On days when his foster works in the office, Russell settles comfortably in his crate for a full workday and does very well. He is fully housebroken and sleeps peacefully either in his crate or cuddled up on the bed. Russell especially loves curling up beside you at night and will happily snuggle close—sometimes climbing on top of you in the morning when he’s ready to start the day. Russell is neutral and appropriate with other dogs. He shows curiosity toward cats and squirrels, but he is responsive to redirection and continues to improve his focus on walks. He walks nicely on a loose leash and responds well to gentle guidance that helps set a calm tone at the start of the walk. This confident (but not pushy) boy has lovely manners around the home. He sits quietly at the door, waits to be invited inside by name, and is learning to maintain his doorway boundaries even when visitors arrive. He may give a brief alert bark if someone approaches the fence or rings the doorbell, but he is otherwise quiet and relaxed indoors. Russell already understands sit, down, and stay with hand signals and is beginning to learn verbal cues. He is a smart, eager dog who will continue to blossom with consistency and love. Overall, Russell is a gentle, affectionate companion who would thrive in a home looking for a loyal cuddle buddy with great potential and a sweet heart Interested in adopting?

Story
Daisy came from a home where she was neglected and allowed to roam unspayed and on dangerous roads. A concerned neighbor agreed to take her from the indifferent owners. But after having her a short time, realized that her high border collie energy and propensity to escape was not well suited for their home. So WAR agreed to take her and she has been with us ever since!Daisy is a female Border Collie mix. True to the border collie breed, she is smart, athletic and loves to move. She is also extremely affectionate and friendly. She would be an excellent candidate for agility training or dog diving as she loves to move and loves water.She is an escape artist so needs to be in a home that can keep her active mind engaged and keep her safely secured.If you are interested in meeting or adopting Daisy, please visit the Wilton Animal Rescue website and complete an adoption application!https://wiltonanimalrescue.com/adoption-application/ ##2372287##

Story
I rescued Fiona from a hoarder situation. Her owner passed away and she was being taken care of by an existing tenant. She’s 7 yrs old, healthy, active, about 45 lbs. She is very sweet and loving and needs more stimulation than I can give her. I think she would flourish in a home with another canine companion as she gets separation anxiety when left alone. This is something I’ve been working on and can now leave her for a couple hours inside the house, we've been walking daily and she is learning to heel and improving every day. On walks she is friendly with all people and dogs, but gets very excited, so I play ball or frisbee with her a few minutes before walking. She also loves to go on car rides and comes with me when I visit friends. she’s also great with my 3 cats. Her dream home be with an active, patient family (hopefully another dog) who will give her the attention and love she needs to feel secure.If you think you can give this girl a home, please contact me.

Story
She is a really great dog but being a full time mom and student and having a full time job I just don’t have the time for her anymore. She is fully potty trained and stays outside most of the time and comes inside to eat and sleep. She gets along well with other dogs. She has never been around cats so I’m not sure how that would go. She has grown up with my son and she has always been super gentle and calm around him. She needs a loving home that will be able to put more time into her.
