Story
Hello. My pets name is Kairo. He is a purebred Rottweiler that I’ve had since he was a puppy. AKC certified. He still has his tail. He is about 150lbs. He is house trained, knows basic commands, and very kind. He has been socialized since a pup and has always been around people. I have a 2 yr old who he has been around his entire life without issue. He’s a protector and guardian at heart. He loves to play fetch, run around outside and if he sees a soccer ball or any ball, it’s game time. He is very food motivated. What I’m looking for in a new home is for someone who is experienced with big dogs. Someone who understands how to build a relationship with a dog. Someone who is not afraid of the size and willing to understand him. He is a great companion. Preferably a home with a secure area for him. I can assure you that he is a phenomenal dog with a great heart and no ill intent. I have NEVER seen him ever have ill intentions or even growl.

Story
Otto is the perfect mix of a playful puppy and a distinguished dog. He was rescued from the side of the street in Puerto Rico by his amazing foster mom there. He loves playing and running with anyone that has the energy to keep up. His Puerto Rican foster mom would run 5-miles with him every day to help him get his energy out and to keep him occupied because he really wanted to chase her cats. We do not recommend a house with cats but he is great with kids, adults, and dogs of all sizes. At his current foster family, he runs in the fenced-in yard with his foster brother. He knows basic commands but his curiosity does get the best of him sometimes. Otto is incredibly smart and is truly the perfect size companion. If you love him he will never leave your side, in the best way possible.

Prima is a very sweet pup. She is very shy and quiet, when she gets to know you she will run over with a wagging tail and a million kisses. She has a very good temperament. She was born on 12/21/2023 She will be ready to move into her forever home by Valentines! She will be dewormed as well as have her first round of vaccines. I can provide any additional information. Her mother is Cane Corso mixed with Husky and her father is a pure bred Golden Retriever so she will be a really big dog. If you are interested please provide some information about yourself and the type of home she would be going to.

Story
I’m Tamale! I’m about two years old. My rescue thinks I’m a chihuahua mix. Since I’ve arrived at foster care in May 2022, I’ve learned so much! I know how to sit, “touch,” lie down, and come when called. I’m very curious and loving. I love to play fetch and tug. My favorite thing to do is chew on a toy until I fall asleep on my foster’s lap. I love cuddling! I'm living and thriving in my foster home with another female dog! We play and even cuddle on the couch. In my previous foster home, I was pretty stressed by the resident cats. I would do best in a home with no cats and no children. I’d love a home where I can go on long walks in the woods and play ball. I also enjoy car rides. I love hiking with all my dog friends in a big group! I have a ton of love to give, I just need a family of my own. Please apply if you want to be my family. Neutered, up to date on vaccines, house trained, crate trained, and healthy! Currently being fostered in Trumbull, CT.
