Story
This fun, outgoing, active girl is ready to work her way into your heart! Belle loves everything and everyone and will light up your life with her positive energy. We will be honest that sometimes her enthusiasm is excessive, so she needs someone who can reinforce good behavior so she doesn't jump or knock others over. For that reason we would prefer her to be in a home with no young children who live there all the time. She would be fine with kids visiting since she adores them, but she will need to get her initial excitement out first. Belle enjoys being on the go, riding in the car, meeting new people and exploring the world but she does settle when she is at home and is a perfect couch potato. She is good on leash when she is out and about and loves exploring. While Belle loves other dogs, we have found that she loves them a little too much and not all dogs love her enthusiasm for them. We are working on helping her learn how to regulate and channel her excitement so until that is better, we prefer that she lives as an only pet. No cats for the same reason. A fenced yard would be ideal and she is currently trained on an electric fence which she can be out on as long as you are monitoring her. Belle is a perfect medium size at about 45 lbs, and she is even more beautiful in person. She thrives with structure and training and LOVES to be with her people. She is being fostered in Litchfield county Connecticut so please fill out an application if you would like to meet her! www.spottydogrescue.org ##1473726##

Bee

American Pit Bull Terrier

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Bee is one of 6 pups born on the first day of spring, (March 20th) the result of an accidental local litter. Luckily the family allowed us to oversee their adoptions to ensure they go to wonderful families and are spayed and nuetered so this cycle will not continue. Bee is a healthy snuggle bug and the biggest of the bunch currently. Bee is very laid back, sweet and easy going...a true couch potato in the making! She will be ready to go home starting May 19th, 2025. Applications are being accepted now in hopes to have a forever home secure when she is ready to leave her mom. Apply now and take this beautiful girl home! ##2350272##

Story
Meet Annie!Breed Guess: Toy Poodle mix?                      Age: 12 years old Date of Birth: 10-5-12  Weight: 7.94lbs Other Animals: Gets along with other well balanced calm dogs. Young and/or energetic pups are too much for her. Interested in the resident foster cat but only playfully. Would be content as an only pet.Kids: has not met any yet. Quiet respectful children can be considered.House training: Navigates stairs to backyard well. Understands backyard is where appropriate business is completed. If not acknowledged when asks to go out will use pee pad. Exercise needs: A short walk a few times a day would delight her. Otherwise, she is happy sitting with or being near her human. What she's great at: Riding in the car. Adapting to her surroundings and learning a routine. What she's working on: Accepting her new adventure in New England. She's not in St. Thomas anymore. Personality: Sweet. She is opening up day by day. Once she is comfortable she gets very excited to see her human. Even does zoomies. Annie's Story: Recent life change for Annie and her human mom brought her to us. Her mom's dementia led her to surrender Annie to the St. Thomas Humane Society. Volunteers there did not feel shelter life was best for her so reached out to us to assist in finding her next home. Dream Home: A quiet home with or without another canine companion as long as her human is home often. She requires a regular grooming event every 6 to 8 weeks and a human to treat her like the Princess she is. ##2368034##
