Story
Nanjie is 9 years old (named after the Nanjemoy river in Maryland). Her person had to go into Memory care and could no longer look after her. Nanjie would make a great companion dog for someone that would like company. She is up to date on all her vaccines, does really well with other dogs and cats. Best suited for a quite home with one or two adopters as loud noises, thunder, fireworks and lots of commotion scare her. She walks well on leash and loves her walks. Takes treats gently, understands basic commands, and is house trained. She won’t go outside unless she has a leash on. She guards the house well and will let you know if anyone is coming to the front door. Nanjie is very shy at first and will take a day or two to come out of her shell, but she is a gentle dog and loves her scratches. It will take a few days to bond, but once you do, you will have your best friend.

Story
Gibby has been in our family for 9 years. She has had 2 litters of beautiful puppies. She loves to go on walks and to the beach. Not into chasing a ball or a stick. Because she is older, best with older kids. She can be a fussy eater but loves a pup cup when we go for ice cream. Gibby loves a belly rub and would make an ideal companion to someone who likes to walk and be greeted by a happy, small tail wagger whenever they come home. She is used to being on the furniture and sleeping in bed, under the covers when it's cold. Must be ok with that. Unfortunately, we are relocating, pets not allowed. Ps. Does not like fireworks, loud noises.

Story
Meet Clive, an affectionate, 5-year-old Border Collie/Basset Hound mix weighing about 44 lbs. Clive is a true cuddle bug who loves people and is always ready to snuggle on the couch after a walk. Originally rescued from Mississippi, Clive has lived in Connecticut for the past 3.5 years. Due to changing family circumstances and some guarding issues have caused disputes with the family's elderly dog, Clive now needs a new home where he can thrive. Clive is house-trained, crate-trained, up to date on all vaccinations, and in excellent health. He has not been around cats and would do best as the only dog in the home. He would be a wonderful companion for a single person, a couple, or a family with older children who can give him the love and attention he deserves. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will happily share your couch and your heart, Clive may be the perfect addition to your home.
