Pancho is very friendly and energetic. He loves to play fetch, go on walks, chase around the yard. Go on walks, throw balls, get belly rubs. Pancho has always lived outside and so would thrive in a space where he has a large outdoor space to run around in to get his energy out. Pancho knows some basic commands like sit and come but sometimes needs a treat in order to obey them.

Stella

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young
New Britain, CT
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained,
Story
Stella is a sweet, cuddly, and affectionate dog who loves being close to her people. She is fully house trained and does very well with dogs she gets to know inside the home, forming comfortable and positive relationships once she feels safe. Stella does struggle with dogs outside the house and can be reactive in those situations. Because of this, she would do best with an owner who has the time, patience, and commitment to continue her training and help her build confidence in outdoor settings. With structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement, she has the potential to keep improving. At home, Stella is loving, gentle, and enjoys relaxing and cuddling. She is looking for a calm, understanding home where she can feel secure and supported, ideally with someone who enjoys working with dogs and is willing to invest time in training and bonding.

Glenn Dale is a sweet and loving big country boy. He likes nothing better than shaking your hand and getting some loving ear scratches. Those big amber eyes will steal your heart. He loves people and other dogs, especially if they are as easy-going as he is, and they want to play. This big lug is crate-trained and will happily spend the night on a soft bed inside his kennel. He is very devoted and will follow you like a shadow. He needs a home that doesn't have chickens or cats, he gets a little too excited around them.

Penelope

Aussiedoodle

Story
Penelope is a stunning Aussiedoodle rescue with a brilliant mind and a heart of gold. We met her through a clinic after her previous owner realized Penelope’s high-octane energy wasn't the right match for their older son on the spectrum. Now, this athletic girl is looking for her true "forever" home! ​Her Vibe: Penelope is a "work hard, play hard" girl. While she isn't a frisbee fan, she is a fetch pro and lives to learn new tricks! Though she had a hip injury in her first home and has slight hip dysplasia, it doesn't slow her down—she’s a resilient girl ready for adventure. ​The Ideal Match: ​Mature Home: Penelope needs a toddler-free environment. She thrives with older kids or adults. ​One-and-Only: She prefers to be your only pet. ​Company: She has separation anxiety and needs a 6–7 hour limit alone (up to 8.5 only if well-exercised). ​If you have a fenced yard and love "velcro dogs," Penelope is your girl. She’s healthy, up-to-date on care, and ready to be your shadow!
