Story

Bode is a 3 year old pitbull who lives for the people he loves. He’s sweet, strong, loyal, energetic, adventurous, and an insane snuggle monster. If he could be in your skin, he would be ha! He loves to be both active (playtime and walks) but also loves being a giant potato (cozy couch time, laying in your lap, giving kisses, butt scratches, and snack time). Bode loves to show off his bones and offer them as his treat to you. He excels with companionship. Eager to please. A perfect match for Bode would be someone who is patient, steady, kind, consistent, and experienced. He has lived with one other large breed dog. May be nervous meeting new friends so may do best in a home without any other dogs or cats. Unknown with kids. Has only lived with adults. Bode knows his basic commands. He is potty trained. Never been a crate family so he is not crate trained. Does have e-collar experience. In great health. Up to date on all vaccinations. Neutered. Microchipped. No food or toy aggression.

Delilah

Mutt Australian Shepherd

Details

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

Story

I am completely broken-hearted. Delilah is the dog I always wanted. She is loving, sweet, VERY food motivated (my fault), I love her do very much. She is crate-trained and I would never ever give her up, Except under extreme circumstances. I want very much to keep her. The alternative is to find a LOT of money to send her to training camp with Jade. Delilah is 3 years old, Jade is 8. We also have Logan, 5 and Piper 3. Unfortunately we are over populated here and Jade and Delilah have become arch enemies. She is so nervous every time she is around Jade. I think she needs a very much quieter home. We have a huge dog run, but also 3 indoor cats. I want to find the money to retrain the fear out of her, but I can't. I am however making an appointment to take Delilah and Jade to an expert for an assessment. If you are a kind, loving, experienced pet owner, and you want the most loving and wiggle-butting dog on the planet, then Delilah is your girl. Background check required.

Valerie

Great Pyrenees Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, 9 mos

Oxford, CT

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Valerie — a thoughtful, gentle soul who is learning just how safe and good the world can be. Valerie is a 9 month old Pyrenees/Shepherd mix and currently weighs 55 pounds. She has been working hard in training and making wonderful progress as she learns to trust. She’s a sensitive girl who approaches new people with caution, but with calm, positive introductions, her confidence continues to grow every day. Once she feels safe, Valerie shows her sweet, affectionate side and forms deep bonds with her people. Valerie would do best with an experienced dog owner who understands fearful dogs and is willing to go at her pace. She can be fearful of strangers initially, but patient, low-pressure interactions work wonders for her; sitting down, offering quiet encouragement and letting Valerie choose when to engage helps her feel secure and successful. In the home, Valerie is calm, well-mannered, and a joy to live with. She is house trained, crate trained, and walks nicely on leash. She enjoys relaxing with her person, quietly playing with her squeaky toys, and soaking up peaceful companionship. Valerie is also good with cats, and while she doesn’t need another dog in the home, she could do well with a confident, friendly canine companion who can help model bravery. Valerie loves the simple pleasures: long naps, gentle affection, hunting for acorns, splashing in the water, and stretching her legs in the sunshine. A home with a yard is her best fit, as she enjoys outdoor time and space to explore at her own pace. Apartment living would not be ideal for this nature-loving girl. Because Valerie thrives in calm, predictable environments, she would do best in a home with no children. Valerie is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and up to date on flea, tick and heartworm prevention. She’s a quiet, loyal companion who is blossoming more each day and with the right family, she’ll continue to shine. If you’re looking for a soft-hearted, devoted pup and are willing to let trust grow naturally, Valerie may be the perfect match for you. All of our adopted dogs are transported using only trusted, reputable transport partners to ensure a safe journey to their forever homes up North.
