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.

Cooper was adopted from Sterling Brook Farms breeder. He turned 6 in February of 2024 and is a very sweet and gentle dog.

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.
