Story
Mea is a tiny gal weighing in a big 5 lbs. She is also a lovable darling. She loves sitting on your lap and being snuggled. She's adjusting well to her foster home and her foster mom hasn't heard any barks coming from this little lady yet. She really seems to take eveything in stride. She gets along with all the dogs in her foster home, big & small. This pup is small enough to fit in your purse, with a favorite sweater or shirt to help her stay warm. She probably wouldn't be good for a home with small children just due to the fact she is very tiny and a fall from being dropped or a squeeze from some excited young hands may injure her. Mea is waiting for the perfect family to call her own and if you think it might be yours, we'd love to hear from you. Mea 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 neg for heartworms. 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 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. 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! If you have not heard from one of our volunteers within 5 days of submitting your application, please email mollibo@gmail.com.

Story
This guy is absolutely precious, and my adult son calls him Chocolate Rain. Walter is an older super Mutt who is looking to land in a home that will respect his boundaries and be his forever clan. His house trained, friendly, affectionate, rides well in the car, He's fantastic with other small dogs and he should only be with dog savvy kids age 12+. Walter absolutely needs a fenced in yard. You're not going to be able to walk the wet food pounds off of him because he's a butthead about touching his throat. He won't let us get a collar on him. I can only get a slip lead on after being his best friend and having Nudgers in my hand. He initiates all petting and follows me everywhere. But he will not let me get my hands around him. So, if you have a fenced yard and you can respect his boundaries (he will also respect yours), then you're going to love him. Just put a soft bed on the floor in your room and he will just think you're a Saint and will worship you forever. Apply for our little fat old man at www.brasscityrescue.org

Story
Twinkle’s story is as heartbreaking as it is inspiring. She came to us after someone claimed to have “found” her wrapped in a soiled diaper. But after a little digging, we discovered the truth—it was actually her owner who had abandoned her under false pretenses. Even more devastating, she had posted online about Twinkle’s injury but waited too long to get her proper care. By the time she came into our care, it was too late for surgery. Despite that neglect, Twinkle has held onto her spirit. She has hind leg paresis, meaning she has partial mobility—not full paralysis. And while surgery was no longer an option, she’s made incredible strides through supplements and alternative therapies like acupuncture, electromagnetic treatment, massage, and physical therapy. She’s showing steady, meaningful progress. She does need her bladder and bowels expressed 3–4 times a day, but she’s a total champ about it—cooperative, patient, and even helps by posturing. The process takes just a couple of minutes. ? More about Twinkle: • Resilient, loving, and full of personality • Great eater and enjoys all the things mobile dogs do • Gets along well with other respectful animals • Best with older, calm kids (10+) • No other health concerns Twinkle is about 5-6 years old, She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworm and tick borne diseases. Twinkle needs a special adopter—someone experienced or willing to learn about special needs care, with the time and dedication to help her thrive. She’s been let down before, but she hasn’t let it define her. She’s ready to love and be loved in a home that truly sees her. If you’re that kind of person, Twinkle is ready to be your shining light.
