Story
I’m Tamale! I’m about two years old. My rescue thinks I’m a chihuahua mix. Since I’ve arrived at foster care in May 2022, I’ve learned so much! I know how to sit, “touch,” lie down, and come when called. I’m very curious and loving. I love to play fetch and tug. My favorite thing to do is chew on a toy until I fall asleep on my foster’s lap. I love cuddling! I'm living and thriving in my foster home with another female dog! We play and even cuddle on the couch. In my previous foster home, I was pretty stressed by the resident cats. I would do best in a home with no cats and no children. I’d love a home where I can go on long walks in the woods and play ball. I also enjoy car rides. I love hiking with all my dog friends in a big group! I have a ton of love to give, I just need a family of my own. Please apply if you want to be my family. Neutered, up to date on vaccines, house trained, crate trained, and healthy! Currently being fostered in Trumbull, CT.

Story
Greta and her brother Gizmo are playful little pups named after the Gremlins because of their pointy ears! Greta is your typical puppy that is very playful and loves human attention. She is doing very well with potty training and hasn’t really had any accidents at her foster. She’s eager to please and learns quickly. Greta will be the perfect small-sized addition to any family. Greta 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. Visit our website to see our weekend Events here! Pups with the designated “meet me” next to their names are in CT and ready to attend adoption events. Please check with your adoption coordinator if you are interested in a specific dog prior to coming to an event, as a dog's availability to attend can change at any time. We can not guarantee approval on site at the events, so we recommend applying ahead of time. You can apply at the event, but the application process may not be able to be completed the same day. If you are not pre-approved, you are still welcome to come and meet pup’s at the event! The adoption fee is $600 which includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, and the mandatory CT HB 5368 fee. 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! If you have not heard from one of our volunteers within 5 days of submitting your application, please email mollibo@gmail.com.

Story
Gizmo and his sister Greta are playful little pups named after the Gremlins because of their pointy ears! Gizmo is a pretty laid-back pup who loves to roll over and get his belly rubbed. He loves other dogs and playing with Greta, but he also enjoys just some human pets. He’s doing very well with potty training and is learning to sit for treats. Gizmo will be a great addition to almost any family! Gizmo 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.

Story
Apply to adopt at https://brasscity1.wufoo.com/forms/zb9tvvt0qhv009/ Meet Yoda, the tiniest little beast you've ever seen. This handsome male chihuahua may be small in size, but his personality is larger than life. At just 4 years old and weighing in at a whopping 6 pounds, Yoda is the perfect lap animal for someone who wants an energetic and affectionate companion. Yoda was surrendered by his previous owner, who had a whole house full of pets. But this little alpha didn't quite fit in with the other animals, making him feel lonely and out of place. He may get bossy with small dogs, so we are no longer sure if he should live with one. He might just want to have friends and no canine siblings. Don't let his size fool you; Yoda has a big, independent streak. He loves nothing more than sitting in your lap, soaking up all the affection and then suddenly bursting into energetic zoomies around the house. He's the perfect balance of cuddly and playful, making him the ideal companion for someone who wants the best of both worlds. But, beware, Yoda is not your average chihuahua. He has a bit of a feisty side, especially when it comes to the vet. He may be a fresh there, but we promise he's an absolute sweetheart at home. He just needs some help with potty training and socialization with new people. But once he gets to know you, he'll be your constant and loving companion. Yoda is still getting used to different-sized humans, so teenage kids are better for him right now. He barks at small kids because he doesn't know what they are. A quieter house would be better for him. So, if you're looking for a tiny but mighty addition to your family, look no further than Yoda. He's ready to be your loyal and quirky companion, and all he needs is a loving home to call his own. Come meet Yoda today and see if he's the missing puzzle piece in your life. Yoda is waiting to be your faithful companion and bring love and laughter into your home.
