Story
Meet Rocco! Rocco is our devilishly handsome young guy with the cutest underbite you’ve ever seen. Basically still a puppy, he’s active, agile, and always ready for fun. This quicksilver boy loves to be near his people and definitely keeps you on your toes! Rocco will need a secure fenced yard—otherwise you might find yourself chasing him down the street. He’s also a bit of a watchdog at the window (he once went through a screen, and blinds didn’t survive either!), but window coverings solved the problem. He’s fantastic with cats, dogs, and children, and would thrive in a home with multiple people and at least one small-to-medium dog companion. Rocco does have some separation anxiety, so a lap to cuddle on while the family is busy would make him happiest. This boy has tons of positives: • Super affectionate and loyal—he bonds closely with his person. • Sleeps peacefully in bed but respects your space. • Not a troublemaker with other pets. • Loves toys, fetch, and chew time. • Eats dry food only (a bonus for a little dog!). • Great in the car and on walks—though he must be securely tethered because he’s a clever escape artist. • Knows some basic commands and is very smart. • No resource guarding and can be picked up easily. Rocco isn’t perfect (he might nip your backside if you’re being a meanie!), but his sweetness and devotion far outweigh the quirks. If he were a little older, he’d already have a forever spot with us. If you’re ready to meet this amazing dog and you live in Connecticut, apply today at www.brasscityrescue.org.

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 animals 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
APPLY FOR COCOA I'm Cocoa, a charming little guy at around 10 months old. I'm a handsome Chihuahua mix tipping the scales at 13 lbs, and I won't be growing much larger. I've been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated to keep me healthy and happy.   My journey has been a bit of a whirlwind. I found myself wandering as a stray until I landed at the doorstep of a kind elderly lady who took me in and showed me compassion by feeding me and giving me lots of love. It's because of her that I'm now on the lookout for my forever family. Though my start in life had its challenges, my heart remains full of sweetness. I might be a tad shy at first, but I quickly open up to those who show me kindness. I'm quite fond of other dogs and children, and I tend to overlook cats, so I’d fit in well even in a household with feline friends.   What I dream of most is a forever family who will play with me and continue my training—I'm just as clever as I am lovable! I hope to find my family super soon.    ADOPTION FEE: $663  ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES:  Alteration, Microchip, Vaccines APPLICATION: Click here to apply IF YOU HAVE OWNED A PET IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, PLEASE CALL YOUR VET AHEAD OF TIME TO ALLOW RESCUES TO SPEAK TO THEM APPLY FOR COCOA ##2555913##

Story
**I am located in Georgia, but I can be transported north to you!** Name: Snack Breed: Chihuahua mix Sex/Age/Weight: Male/estimated DOB 09/2024/ about 10 pounds Vetting: Up to date on vaccines, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and on preventatives House trained/Crate Trained: Working on house training; needs to be placed in crate at night but he settles down in a few minutes and sleeps through the night. Dogs/Cats/Children: Lives with other dogs; there are cats in another room, but when we’ve walked him through, he ignores them; no children Energy Level: Energetic puppy, but he’ll settle and sit next to his foster mom after a bit of roughhousing with our resident dog. Before FAR/My History: Unknown except he lived with A LOT of dogs. Working on: House training, walking on leash, and knowing his name Things I like: Playing with his brothers (foster and biological) Things I don’t like: Loud noises Things that make my humans happy: Snack and his brother sure are cute! Ideal Family/Home: We’d love it if he and his brother Pinto were adopted together, but that’s not a requirement. Having a friendly resident dog would be ideal, so he learns how to be a dog. Special Notes: Snack and his brother Pinto are blind, but they really don’t let that get in their way. They use the steps to get on and off the bed several times a day. They wrestle and play like sighted puppies, but they’re more tactile and miss visual cues. Snack is more outgoing and initiates play. If you are interested in giving Snack a forever home, please visit the link below to fill out an application! http://fureverafterrescue.org/adoption-application.html It is best to submit an application through a computer. We have experienced some problems when applications have been submitted using a mobile device. *When you submit the application, you are not obligated to adopt however it does reserve for you the opportunity to adopt that particular animal.

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.

Story
Meet our silly little puppy boy named Scrappy Doo! Scrappy is about 10 months old and he was surrendered to our shelter after his family realized they were not prepared to care for a puppy. This adorable little guy is looking for a family ready to take on all the fun and training it takes to work with a new puppy, including housetraining. Scrappy can be a little shy at first when meeting new people, we don't think he was socialized a lot in his last home, but after a couple of minutes he is just the sweetest little guy! Scrappy is curious of his surroundings and absolutely loves running around carrying his stuffed toys. Sometimes Scrappy does a little nervous/happy pee when he starts getting attention, but it's just a little bit. He is a happy little dude who will make a family very happy. Scrappy is good with other dogs and he is non reactive to cats. He can go to a home with children 10 years old and older.
