Story
Cookie was surrendered to us when her owner could not have more than 2 dogs in the apartment. She is a happy go lucky friendly girl. She is 9 months old this month.( April). She is spayed and completely vetted. She can jump 6-8 ft straight up without a running start so even a fenced yard won't keep her in. We prefer a family that leash walks their dog. She was not properly socialized as a young pup and will need a kind loving patient owner to show her the ropes and how to be a dog. She is finally walking on leash better and will go through a doorway now. We have 12ft high fence in our outdoor runs so we let her run about, but still watch her as she might even try to climb out if left unattended. You must have a current Vet reference from a Vet that knows you. A dog is a 15 year minimum commitment. She is very active and would be great agility dog. She only has half a tail because of "happy-tail" syndrome. Only serious inquiries only over 25 years of age. Online adoption form at www.fobac.org and you can email us at fobacadoptions@gmail.com or call the shelter at 860-828-7055. $100 adoption fee

Story
Layla ðŸ\x90¾â\x9D¤ï¸\x8FThis lovely 4 year old lady has been here at our shelter since 2021(half of her life), and has been looking for a place to call home ever since. She doesn't understand why no one seems to want to provide her the home she deserves. Layla considers herself a lap dog that wants nothing but to be laying next to you and enjoying your attention or playing ball with you outside. Layla also LOVES water! Although, she loves her people so much more that she doesn't quite enjoy sharing and may not like the other furry pets that might try to take you away, so its important that this girl is your one and only. But with the amount of love she has to give, she's all you'll ever need!This girl is also so smart that she'll know you'll want her to sit even before you ask. With an extremely treat motivated pup like Layla, teaching her your routine will be easy-peezy.Layla is very particular about where she does her business and needs a little guidance on her potty training, and can also have some separation anxiety when her people aren't around, so it's important to find her a family that is willing to take the time and commitment to continue her training. She can have a lot of happy puppy energy and doesn't quite understand her size compared to smaller humans, therefore she would be best suited for older children. If you're interested in adopting or fostering this pretty lady, please fill out an application on our website. Layla is UTD on her shots, spayed, and microchipped.https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=meridenhumanesociety&method=online_form_html&formid=27

Story
***Cane Corso or similar breed experience will only be considered*** Grace Age: 3-4 years old Breed: Cane Corso Size- Large – 80-95+ lbs Dogs: YesCats: NoKids: No At 4 years young Grace has had a very rough start in life. Found dumped in a park with a harness embedded in her and two torn ACL’s, we can’t blame you Graceson for not liking most people. This beautiful girl loves to love, if you are in her circle you are in!! As if she didn’t already draw the short straw in life, Grace has some neurological issues. Her brain (more specifically cerebellum) isn’t fully grown and never will be, so please excuse her goofy gallop and gait walk. That doesn’t stop Grace from being the happy go lucky free spirit she is! Don’t worry her friends at MHS along with her medical team are keeping a close eye on her and though she may look like she’s struggling, Grace is living her best life and not in any pain! Grace is available for adoption at the Meriden Humane Society. If interested in fostering or adopting, please fill out an application! https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=meridenhumanesociety&method=online_form_html&formid=27

Name: LadyBreed: Hound MixAge: 2 years oldCats: NoDogs: NoKids: NoOur lovely Lady is searching for her forever home! At an estimated 2 years old, this sweet girl hasn’t had the best start in life. Lady was found roaming by a local animal control and sat waiting for her person to come for her but sadly, they never did. Lady was apprehensive to human touch at first but has made huge strides in learning to trust humans and that affection is okay. Sometimes a bit too much as she likes to be real close and in the laps of the people she loves the most!While she has come a long way in her time with us, Lady is still working on some trust issues with new humans and will require a special person who is willing to put the time and effort into coming and working build a bond with her.More about Lady, she loves her walks and quiet time in our expen away from the other pups. She’s also quite the fan of chasing down tennis balls, and loves her true chew treats! No other animals for Lady, as she has high prey drive. No kids as she prefers an adult only home. Lady is microchipped, utd on her vaccinations, and is spayed.If you think you can give Lady the forever home she longs for, please apply today!
