This is Simba he is two years old. Simba is a loving boy who loves to cuddle . He loves to eat , chase after squirrels , and nap. He is great with kids and Dogs as long as nobody touches his food. He lives with his dog sister Nala which they go together and they share a room. He was bought from a local family at 3 months old. He loves houses with fenced in yards so he can run around. We call him Houdini because he loves to escape so that is why the fenced in yard is a must. He does simple tricks like sit, paw, high five, and down.

Story

This is Nala. She is 2 yrs old and super active! She loves to run around and play. She has the Husky talk and gets along with other dogs and kids. She needs a home with a fenced in yard and a loving family. She currently lives with her brother Simba two kids and my husband and I and they usually go well together he is also listed for adoption. Rehoming both will be best for them but we understand if that can't happen. She loves carrots and treats and loves to nap on her bed. We would like to give Nala a chance to be with a great family who can dedicate the time she needs to play and be loved as we don't have the time or funds to care for them both like we would like to.

Story

At work,I was approached by a man who told me he had a young dog who needed a home. The gentleman had given this puppy to a family, and they failed to care for her and gave her back to him. When I visited, I saw that Sasha was sitting in her own pee and had a rash all over her body. I knew that, even though though I wasn’t going to keep her, I needed to try to get her back to health and to a good family. We took her in her got her shots and now she is crate and house trained and free of rash. She is a really good dog, but is young and has tried to run off to explore the neighborhood which makes me anxious since I live in a busy Street. Unfortunately I just got my skin test for allergies that have gotten worse since. I also feel horrible because I cannot pet her and cuddle with her. My children provide her lots of attention, but she would do better in a different home where her owner could show her love and the attention she deserves.

Maude

Silky Terrier Dachshund

Female, 9 yrs

Waterford, CT

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Maude has been completely refurbished and is now ready to find a family to love❤️ This oldie but goodie is around 9-10 yrs. and is the sweetest! Maude is currently fostering with a large and small dog. Her little tail began wagging like crazy at the Vet when she saw a young boy, so we think she could live with older respectful kids.Because she was probably an apartment dog, she would do best with someone that is home most of the day to let her out frequently. She is great in the car, and loves to cuddle. When CT Animal House pulled Maude from the shelter she was very thin and missing patches of fur😢 Thanks to lots of TLC by her foster Mom, a much needed spay, and a dental, she is feeling so much better! If you think Maude would fit in well with your lifestyle please fill out an app at ctanimalhouse.org Thanks!
