Story

Meet Marco, a three-year-old, 50-pound bundle of joy with a heart-melting smile and an incredibly soft coat. His DNA results reveal an amazing blend of 17 different breeds, showcasing his unique and charming personality. Marco was discovered as a stray in rural North Carolina in November 2021, spending 17 months in a shelter confined to a kennel. Despite the challenging start to his life, he has shown remarkable resilience and is now thriving in his foster home in Connecticut, where he has been since March 2023, making him our longest resident ever. Marco is a true cuddle enthusiast, loving nothing more than to snuggle up next to his humans. He enjoys sleeping in bed and will settle in for the night, making sure to snuggle under a cozy blanket that he paws at to get just right. Playtime is Marco's favorite—he's a pro at zoomies, fetch, and tug of war, and his joy is contagious. He’s also highly intelligent and enjoys engaging activities like snuffle mats, food puzzles, and lick mats. Marco is always ready for an adventure and walks well on a leash. He gets along well with other dogs and is also fine with cats, making him a great companion for a multi-pet household. While Marco has made great strides since leaving the shelter, he is nervous around new people and needs time to build trust. Once he feels secure, he forms strong bonds and is incredibly loving. Marco needs an adult-only home, as children make him anxious. He requires a patient and experienced adopter willing to work with him on his reactivity to strangers and his tendency to get overstimulated. He has already learned to sit, and he is house and crate trained. His adoption fee is $350, and he is vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered. For those interested in adopting this special boy, please fill out an application at form.jotform.com/200883908893166. If you have any questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.

Story

Guinness is a one-year-old, 48 lb. plott hound/pittie mix with the most stunning brindle coat, precious smile, and dark brown eyes. He came to our rescue from Texas with his sister who was quickly adopted. The pair were saved from euthanasia with just hours left before taking the long journey to Connecticut. He has been with us since October 2023 and is anxiously waiting for a loving family of his very own! Being one of our LONGEST RESIDENTS, Guinness has been waiting a VERY long time to be adopted! We do not understand why as he checks all the GOOD BOY boxes: - Good with other dogs - Good with kids of all ages - House & crate trained - Knows a variety of commands (sit, stay, down, come, bedtime) - Friendly & social - Rides well in the car Guinness' tail never stops wagging and he just adores his playtime, being with his people, lounging by the fire, and swimming in the pool, and chasing his toys. He is a total lap dog who loves to snuggle and give hugs and kisses. He's super playful and loves to run around and explore. He's a complete mush and ready to be anyone's BFF! He's currently in foster with another pup, whom he loves so having a furry friend would make him very happy. He must go to a home with a fenced yard. His adoption fee is $400 and Guinness is vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered. He does suffer from allergies so he needs monthly injections to manage that.

Eli

German Shepherd Dog

Bethel, CT

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Eli, a sweet one-year-old, 40 lb. German Shepherd with quite a story to tell. He was found down south with a pellet lodged in his spine...yes, that's right, somebody actually shot this precious pup! Despite knowing only cruelty from humans in the past, Eli has thrived under the care of his current foster family, now on Long Island. Eli is very sweet and loves to play with toys. He is a happy boy who loves affection and knows exactly the right time to howl in the song, “Werewolves of London!” He likes the company of other dogs but has never been around cats. Now, Eli needs a very special person...he can walk but does suffer from some internal paralysis resulting in mild bladder and bowel dysfunction. Will you be the one to save this handsome deserving soul and give him a second chance? **This is a courtesy post for PAWS Long Island. If you have specific questions about Eli or are interested in applying/meeting him, please email adoptions@paws-li.org or call 631-306-4616.

Hazelnut

Pointer Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 1 yr 3 mos

Bethel, CT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Hazelnut, an adorable nine-month-old, 45 lb. pointer mix with the cutest speckle coat and big pointy ears. She was found roaming in a field in Texas with a shih tzu (adopted) a few months ago. She’s currently in Texas awaiting an adopter or foster so she can travel up north to find her furever family! Hazelnut is a high energy girl ready to be the life of the party! She is active, loves to play, can't get enough of her toys, and absolutely loves other dogs. She'd be thrilled to have a doggy companion in her furever home. She's super sweet and never says no to a snuggle. Hazelnut is fine around the kids but may knock a young one down so older children are recommended due to her exuberance. Due to living on the streets, she has never had training before so she'll need someone to guide and teach her basic manners and obedience. A home with a fenced yard is a must. Hazelnut will make a wonderful addition to any home! Her adoption fee is $450 and she is vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and spayed. If you are interested in Hazelnut, please complete the application at form.jotform.com/200883908893166. For questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.

Snoopy

Great Pyrenees Australian Shepherd

Male, 10 mos

Bethel, CT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Snoopy, a nine-month-old, 35 lb. Great Pyrenees mix puppy with the softest white coat, floppy ears, heart nose, and gentle brown eyes. He was found roaming the streets in Texas before being brought in by a good samaritan. He’s been waiting for quite a while to find the right home... We don't know what Snoopy's life looked like before coming to us but we believe it was one filled with neglect and abuse as he is very shy and fearful when meeting new people. While timid, he does warm up to doggies much quicker than he does to humans. Snoopy currently lives with multiple dogs of all sizes and ages in his foster home and enjoys their company. Once he feels comfortable with you, he is a very sweet boy who enjoys cuddling and getting lots of pets and belly rubs. Snoopy will even give you kisses when he’s ready to - you just have to go at his pace and be aware of his body language so an experienced dog owner is crucial. Once he’s settled, he loves to play with his toys independently or with his foster siblings. Snoopy is more fearful of men and seems to be more comfortable with women. He'd be best suited in a family with teens and up. His ideal home would be a quiet one with another dog as they help to build his confidence and make Snoopy more comfortable. He MUST go to a home with a fenced yard (no exceptions, no electric). He will require someone who's going to commit to training and confidence building. He is very food motivated (treats are the key to his heart) and a fast learner. Snoopy is house trained and crate trained. He’s in need of an adopter who will be patient as it will take him some time to trust you. His adoption fee is $450 and he is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. If you are interested in Snoopy, please complete our online application at form.jotform.com/200883908893166. If you have any questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.

Rocky

Shepherd (Unknown Type) Labrador Retriever

Male, 3 yrs 9 mos

Danbury, CT

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rocky & his running buddy, were left on the streets to fend for themselves. They had been wandering around that neighborhood for a while and befriended a kind business owner who made sure they did not go hungry. Thanks to that Good Samaritan who gained their trust, they were taken in & have been in foster care since. He has gained 20 pounds since then and is doing great! He is approx 3 years old & is fully vetted. As you can see in the video, he is a loving playful pup. His running mate has been adopted & now he really needs a furever home too! Rocky is a completely gorgeous guy, both inside and out! He is full of love and is always in a carefree good mood. His furever family is going to be lucky beyond belief. If you are interested in learning more about this really sweet and deserving boy, please feel free to text or call Alecia Clark, @ 901-486-2850. We are a rescue organization located with our dogs in Tennessee and have weekly transport available for our pups to relocate up north with their new forever families. His adoption fee of $275 includes his vaccinations, neuter, microchip and his transport to his new furever home. Since a meet and greet is not possible prior to adoption, our adopters make their decision to adopt based on pictures, videos and talking to the foster parent. We will do everything possible to make sure he is the perfect match for you and your family & will be with you every step of the way.
