Hi, I’m Benji! I’m almost 6 years old and I’m a Boston terrier frenchie mix!! I have a lot of love to give. After a day of play I love to cuddle up in bed with my humans. I am very loyal and house trained. Being in a home where I am the only animal will suit me best.

Story
Digger is a petite female pit mix that came to us from TX. We think she could have some Jack Russell in her too! Originally found roaming in southern Texas , this girl lived in an outside kennel for several months in southern TX. She is so happy to now be in a foster home. She is housebroken and happy to hang out on a dog bed while her foster parents work. She loves squeaky toys and napping. She needs to be the only pet in the home. Digger is being fostered in Southern CT.

Story
Brandy is an 8 year old retriever/pit mix. She is short and stout and weighs about 60 lbs. She lives with me and my dad. I have had her since she was a puppy. My ex and I adopted her and she got along great with all of us and our other dog who is now almost 10 years old. My ex and I split up a few years ago, and he did not take either dog with him. When he left, the dogs started to fight, and I ended up having to keep them separated. Not really a great situation but it is working. My main reason for rehoming is that my dad's health is declining, and he will be starting dialysis soon. I am afraid he will not have the strength to take care of both dogs while I am not home and I am afraid of something happening. Brandy is a sweet girl to me and my dad. she just needs the right fit with the right person, and a better lifestyle than what I can give her now. Not being so secluded, and more social.

Story
I’m looking to re home my 9 month old German shepherd to a loving and responsible family.He’s a smart energetic and loyal dog with a lot of potential . He’s still young and would do best with someone who has time to continue to training exercise and socialization .I want to make sure he goes to a good home that understands his breed and can give him the attention he deserves!
