Story
Leo is a sweet and affectionate 1 year and 6 month old boy. We brought him home when he was 2 months old, and he has been a wonderful companion. He is neutered, healthy, and full of love. His birthday is August 1, 2025. Leo is incredibly cute, playful, and friendly. He enjoys companionship and would thrive in a home where he gets regular walks, playtime, and attention. Unfortunately, due to my busy work schedule, I’m unable to spend the time he truly deserves. He is often alone, and I cannot take him out for walks as much as he needs. I want Leo to have a happy life in a loving home where he is well cared for, has someone to play with him, take him on walks, and give him the attention and affection he deserves. My goal is to find him a safe, kind, and active home where he can truly thrive.

Story
Fiona needs a new foster or foster-to-adopt home. About three years old, Fiona came from a large hoarding situation. She is a shy, gentle girl who needs TLC and time to get comfortable in a home. Fiona loves other dogs and we would like to see her in a home with at least one other dog. The activity level of small children would scare her, so an adult home or one with older children would be ideal. She needs a home with a securely fenced yard, and a family who has experience and patience. To foster or foster-to-adopt Fiona please fill out our application - https://www.furryfriendsct.org/foster-application NOTE: Foster or foster-to-adopt families must be located within the state of Connecticut.

Story
Meet Hunter 💛 Adult | Male | Lab x Hound x Terrier mix (best guess — but 100% good boy) Hunter’s heart has been through loss — his beloved person passed away, leaving him unsure where his world went. But even through the confusion and sadness, Hunter’s spirit shines bright. He greets every new person with open-hearted trust and that classic “Lab smile” that says, “I’m so happy to see you.” Hunter loves all humans and soaks up affection like sunshine. He’s good with female dogs and has wonderful manners — fully house trained, crate trained, and easy on a leash. He’s one of those dogs who just gets it: gentle, respectful, and grateful for every bit of love and stability you offer. He’s the kind of companion who will quietly curl up beside you, take long walks at your pace, and remind you what unconditional love feels like. After losing his person, Hunter is ready to find his next forever — someone who will give him the same loyalty and warmth he so freely gives. 🐾 If you’re looking for a devoted friend with a heart full of love and resilience, Hunter is waiting to meet you. 💛 Apply to meet him today: www.wtfarmtn.org
