Story
Meet Winnie, a spirited 2-to-3-year-old Dachshund mix who is ready to bring a mountain of personality into her forever home. Winnie is truly a "mountain goat" in a small package. She is incredibly energetic, agile, and loves to explore the world on her daily walks. When she isn’t keeping the small wildlife out of the backyard or patrolling the neighborhood, she is a dreaming of her next adventure. At night, she burrows deep under the covers to find the warmest spot in your bed. While Winnie is a sweet soul and gets along with other dogs, she is looking for a home where she can be the only dog. Due to her guarding behavior when she finds human food on the floor, she requires a home without young children. Winnie is perfectly fine sharing her space with feline friends. Winnie’s Ideal Home: Prefered to be the only dog: reactive to other dogs if human food is on the ground, (cats are okay!). Adults and older children: A quiet home without young children due to her reactive behavior with human food on the floor. Active Lifestyle: Someone who loves long walks and high-energy play. Winnie is being fostered in Madison, AL. We are looking for local adopters only. If you would like to learn more about Winnie, please fill out an adoption application at forrescue.net

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! If you have not heard from one of our volunteers within 5 days of submitting your application, please email mollibo@gmail.com.

Story
Minnie (Minerva) Bio   Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.   • Energy level: medium • Potty training: in progress/pads • Fenced yard: not needed • Shared walls: suitable • People: calm adults and older children • Dogs: all • Other: Minnie has a heart condition that requires monitoring but no medication at this time; mild IVDD, special diet for pancreatitis   Overview   Looking for a gentle companion who’ll stick by your side? Minnie the senior dachshund might be the velcro pup you’ve been looking for.   Minnie is a sweet, determined little lady with black and white coloring. Her estimated age is about 11 years old and weighs just under 8 lbs. She was found wandering alone in a parking lot in Little Havana, and a kind person got her checked out by a vet and groomed before she came to Little Paws.   Environment   Minnie is a calm, easygoing girl who loves her daily walks and gets excited the moment she hears the leash. She’s still learning the pee pad routine and does well most of the time, though she has occasional accidents. She sleeps peacefully through the night and can be left alone for short periods—she’ll pace a bit, relax on the couch, then pace again. Crate training hasn’t been needed as she’s been comfortable and well-behaved without one.   Pets & People   Minnie is gentle and enjoys being around people, especially when there’s quiet affection involved. She’s very easygoing with strangers, both at home and in public. She gets along beautifully with other dogs and even likes to share a bed with her foster sister. But fair warning: she’s very food-motivated and can be a bit of a food thief if given the chance!   Health   Minnie has Stage B1 (mild) mitral regurgitation secondary to chronic valvular disease. She doesn’t require any heart medication at this time, but she will need periodic re-checks with her veterinarian to ensure her condition remains stable. She has received the care of a neurologist for mild IVDD, where she was prescribed meds and rest. Minnie eats a special low fat diet to control pancreatitis.   Location   Minnie is available for adoption from Doral, FL and she’s very calm in the car, usually falling asleep during rides. Please email cory_wg@hotmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Minnie is $250.00.
