Story
Digger is a petite, 4 yr old 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. ##795053##

Story
Cooper is a shy, sweet boy who kisses our cats. Due to the pandemic and my working from home at that time, it brought out separation anxiety in him after my return to the office. Cooper is on medication for anxiety. Due to complaints from a neighbor and threats to call the police, his size, and barking have required Cooper to remain on a leash in his own yard. We do not have up to date fencing in our yard. Our other neighbor’s grandchildren teased him to the point that he can no longer be around children. Cooper deserves to have someone give him what we are not able to. He needs exercise, and assistance with separation anxiety. He is a good dog.

Story
Hi my name is Speck, I am a high energy very loving and loyal girl. Unfortunately my mom needs to find me a new home, she doesn’t have the time for me anymore because now she works full time and I need a stay at home mom because of my anxiety. I love eating just about anything mom cooks, and most fresh fruits, marrow bones are my favorite or when she freezes watermelon for us as a treat, she makes fresh homemade food for breakfast and dinner, which I’m sure she will give you a list of later, I play well with others and have been listening and learning very well. Going to the park to play fetch is my favorite although I am not a huge fan of the car. Going on hikes are amazing too especially when I get to run around and venture through the woods. I’m pretty much down for anything that involves the outdoors, so having a fenced in yard would be a dream come true.
