Story
Loki 2.0 is a certified good boy just waiting for his forevers to find him. He is about 4 months and 20 lbs of snuggly loves. He enjoys playing puppy games and loves to meet nice new humans. He'll be waiting to meet you at an upcoming Connecticut adoption event, OR you can schedule a private meet upon application approval. Details of our events are on our website event calendar at www.cprdogs.com, FB page, and IG story. 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. The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies that are 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! 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!

Story
Looking for a professional snuggler who prioritizes quality time over everything else? Meet Mia, the gentle soul who is ready to turn your house into a home filled with warmth and tail wags! Mia is the ultimate people person who lives for cuddles and gentle companionship. She is the kind of dog who would rather lean into you for a scratch behind the ears than chase a tennis ball any day! With her polite manners no jumping here! and her calm, sweet nature, she’s basically a walking hug. Whether you’re looking for a Netflix buddy or a walking partner, Mia is ready to be your right hand girl. Before you keep reading, you have to see this sweet face on camera, watch her video to see those Boxer wiggles for yourself! https://youtu.be/RcBoMioEljY Mia is what we call a Velcro dog in the best way possible; she just wants to be wherever you are. She isn’t one for high intensity toys; instead, she finds her joy in being your shadow, following you from room to room just to make sure you’re okay. She’s a go with the flow girl who is just as happy napping by your feet while you work as she is exploring the neighborhood on a nice, long walk. We think Mia is a darling Boxer mix, and she’s the perfect size for someone looking for a "compact" companion. She’s sturdy enough for adventures but small and manageable enough to take anywhere with ease! Like all of our rescue residents, her breed mix is our best "guesstimate," but her 100% pure-hearted personality is no mystery at all. Mia is currently thriving in her foster home, where she’s showing off her "A+" student skills! She is a total dream on the leash, making outdoor strolls a breeze, and her manners extend to the car, where she is a calm and easy passenger. A social butterfly at heart and a top tier houseguest. Mia definitely understands the assignment! She’s a potty training prodigy with a sparkling "zero accidents" record that would make any rug proud. When it’s time for some "me time," she treats her crate like a five star private spa. She is crate trained and stays perfectly quiet, proving she really knows the value of a peaceful beauty sleep. She’s currently soaking up every ounce of love her foster family can dish out, and she is more than ready to bring her A+ vibes (and her impeccable manners) to a forever home. While Mia is a total social butterfly with humans, she prefers to be the center of your world for now. She’s looking for a home where she can be your one and only four legged friend no doggy daycares or crowded dog parks needed! She’s working on her "meet and greets" with other pups, and her foster is even committed to taking her to classes to help her shine even brighter. For now, she’s ready to be your exclusive solo dog. Is she a fan of feline friends? That’s a secret she hasn’t shared yet! To make sure it’s a perfect match, Mia would love to have a "sleepover" with a kitty to see if they can be best buds, or if she’d prefer a cat free castle to call her own. Mia is the perfect candidate for almost any living situation! Because she is so gentle and walks so well, she could be a star in a cozy apartment or a house with a yard. As long as there is a soft bed (or a spot on the couch next to you) and plenty of forehead kisses, Mia will be happy. Her silly Boxer mix personality and nose to toes sweetness make her a one of a kind find. In short, Mia is a gentle, leash walking pro who just wants to love and be loved in return. She is a low maintenance lady with a high quality heart, ready to settle into her forever home. Ready to make this sweet girl a permanent part of your family? https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69d531726b4e8876f6035337 Questions?

Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.❣️Stevie is urgent! She was adopted from us as a puppy and unfortunately finds herself needing a new home. PLEASE SHARE! Key info:•Good with other dogs•Good with cats•4 years old, mixed breed•House trained, crate trained•Very sweet and loving•Loves walks and is great on the leash•She can't live with young children. •Spayed, UTD on vaccines, on preventatives, and heartworm negative. *Her family has had a series of events that have led to Stevie needing a new home. The following is from Stevie's mom and is long but paints the picture of what has transpired in the past year or so. Stevie is a 4 year old 'super' mutt ( per Embark DNA test!) ( pitbull, boxer, german shepherd, bulldog and just overall GREAT DOG) We adopted her through Adopt a Stray when she was only 3 months old. She was found in a well in the rain and she was one of the surviving siblings. Stevie is very sweet and loving- we joke around and say she 'loves so hard,' because she kisses and cuddles with all of her being. She grew up in a home with a very submissive golden retriever. They have been best friends. Stevie likes to wrestle, play fetch, run around and cuddle. When I was pregnant, Stevie was very protective of me. Laying on my belly, crying when I wasn't in the room and jumping on people to get to me. We began behavioral training to address all of these issues. The training unexpectedly came to a stop when I went into labor while visiting another state. I gave birth at only 23 weeks pregnant and my daughter had a 4 month NICU stay. During this time, the dogs were safe and happy with the dog sitter. We were set to return home when we found our house flooded and filled with black mold. The house had to be gutted and the dogs stayed with the sitter for another 9 months while the house was rebuilt. 3 weeks ago, we were finally reunited with Stevie after 13 months apart. She came home to a new house, new furniture, new smells and a brand new human sibling who was about a year old. She has not been herself over the last 3 weeks. She cries around the clock, she paces furiously and just seems to be crawling out of her skin. When the baby cries or we show her attention, Stevie gets upset. We are worried that once the baby starts crawling (any day now) that it will increase her anxiety and we fear for our baby's safety. We have spoken to 3 trainers who all agree that re-homing her is the best option. Stevie has gone back to the dog sitter until a new home can be found. She has been her usual happy self since going back to the sitter. It is possible that Stevie struggled going back with her family due to the new baby, brand new home, and readjusting to being with her people whom she had not lived with in over a year. A lot of changes! She is in great health- no issues. She has a ton of energy and loves to run around the yard. She loves walks and is great on the leash. She truly is a very special dog and it makes us so so sad to think of life without her. If you've gotten this far, thank you for reading and please please share!! In New England To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 Message us or email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions.

Story
Peach was originally rescued from South Carolina along with her first cousin Yoshi (also up for adoption). While they are individually great dogs, together they have a “pack mentality” which unfortunately has made it so they tend to run away together at any chance. This has made it extremely difficult for us as they will break through doors and windows to get out. Living in the woods has made the temptation to escape even greater for them. As a result, we have decided to rehome them separately or together if the potential owner is willing to accept the risks of this dynamic between the two dogs. Peach is the biggest love bug sweetheart. She loves cuddles and will steal your heart. She is a tripaw dog but gets around without any issues and doesn’t let her missing hind leg slow her down. She’s very food motivated. She can be a little nervous or shy depending on the situation but overall is the gentlest sweetest dog. We will miss her but for her own safety she needs a new home.

If you'd prefer a private meet, that can be arranged upon application approval. Apply to adopt today at www.cprdogs.com. 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.

Pups with the designated “meet me” next to their names are in CT and ready to attend adoption events.
