Coonhound puppies and dogs in Bristol, Connecticut

Dexter "Dex" is a very calm, sweet and loving young male around 2 years old. He's very dog and cat friendly and loves human attention. He did beautifully in foster care with the resident two male dogs - one medium sized lab mix and the other a smaller dog, also with their 3 cats. They all slept peacefully together, all quite content. He was extremely gentle with the toddler in the home. He is house-trained and didn't show any signs of mischievous when left home alone with the other dogs. He's an all around great dog - playful, warm, curious and loving. Dex is neutered, up to date with vaccinations and micro-chipped. His current weight is around 60 lbs. If interested in this sweet boy, please email us for an application at adoptions@smilingdogfarms.org. Please note, if you’re not ready to adopt but would consider fostering Dexter, we would love to share with your what that means and how much of a positive difference you’d be making in a life of a dog that needs you.

Fostered in Granite Falls, WA and ready to meet you! Looking for a best friend in dog form? Look no further! Charlie Brown is ready to step in! Charlie Brown "Belly Rub King" is about 50lbs and is the perfect mid-sized best friend you've been looking for. Charlie will be your shadow – he loves to be right by your side at all times and is always wondering what you're doing and if he can help in any way. Charlie is fully kennel trained, potty trained, and has wonderful house manners. We don’t know Charlie’s exact mix (DNA test results pending!) but we do know that he has the biggest personality, a beautiful red coat, and the most expressive eyes that will melt everyone's heart. Watch Charlie Brown in all his glory here! https://youtu.be/L-tjbvU2FhY?si=VmWJMd-3VLh6DfUX Charlie's favorite thing in the world? Being by your side, closely followed by belly rubs – lots of them. He leans into affection like he's waited his whole life for it, and in many ways, he probably has. He makes the best cuddler and loves to join you on the couch. Toys are his absolute favorite, so make sure you're stocked up for this guy! When he isn't by your side staring deep into your soul, you can likely find him napping on the couch with his selected favorite stuffy of the day tucked under his chin. Charlie has taken to his new life in the PNW like a duck to water. He loves hiking and backpacking in the Cascades, playing on the beach by the sound, lake, or river, snacking on some salmon treats, and watching the wildlife go by. He loves a car ride – no matter the length. Hopping in the second a door opens and – after the initial excitement of getting to go along – curling up into a ball and falling asleep. He also loves tagging along to the farmers market, coffee shop, and stores with his foster humans and sibling. Charlie currently lives in the greater Seattle area with two human fosters and one doggy foster sibling, a 7-year-old pittie mix he warmed up to quickly. They're now inseparable and love to play hard and cuddle harder. He's happiest close to his people, whether curled at your feet while you work from home or trotting by your side on the trails. He's not a pushy playmate and will back off if another dog doesn't want to play. Charlie would do well in a home with other dogs, but could also thrive as an only dog, especially with a human who's around often to keep him company. Charlie can be a shy boy at first but after about 10 minutes of sniffing and observing, he's good to go. Charlie also has an opinion, especially when someone pulls into the driveway or knocks on the door. He'd love a backyard to stretch out, run around, and sunbathe in, but with the right amount of exercise, c While Charlie hasn't lived with kids full-time, he's shown gentle curiosity toward friends' children ages 2 to 10 during visits. He'd do best with older, respectful kids who understand how to give a dog space and kindness, since he needs a bit of room to warm up before the hugs and kisses start. Once he settles in, though, you'll never have a better friend – loyal, sweet, and by your side through thick and thin. Charlie Brown is the kind of soul who gives back tenfold what he receives. He's guaranteed to become your most loyal companion, your shadow, your snuggle buddy, your greatest fan. He'll love you unconditionally, and it's 100% worth it. He's a true gentleman with a whole heart to give. If you're looking for a devoted best friend to share your days, He makes the best snuggler because he loves the couch. In fact, he loves the couch so much, that’s where he secretly hides all his bones and treasures! It’s the best thing in the world to watch. He thinks he is so sneaky, so we let him believe he truly is.Toys are his absolute favorite so make sure you’re stocked up for this guy! You will often find Charlie napping with his selected favorite stuffy of the day under his chin. Charlie Brown is the kind of soul who gives back tenfold what he receives. He is guaranteed to become the most loyal companion you could ever imagine, your shadow, your snuggle buddy, your greatest fan. He will love you unconditionally and it’s 100% worth it.
