German Shepherd Dog puppies and dogs in Connecticut

Lt Dan??? OR just Lieutenant? I am thinkin I just like Lieutenant.... obviously I am not a "dan"...but i am officer material! I can order the rescue peeps around like a good German Shepard ;) So there you have it! I am a big boy, found on the streets and ready for a breed knowledgeable family. I am smart as a whip and will train your kids in the way they train me :D Let me see whst its like to be loved for my life! I am waiting for you! Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

I have excellent hearing, so if you’re looking for someone to keep an ear out, I’m your pup! I take my neighborhood watch duties seriously—but don’t worry, I’m much more interested in being by your side than making a fuss. And can we talk about my coat? It’s so black it absolutely glistens in the sunlight! This puppy Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies that are adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368. WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you! More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05.

Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back. After receipt of your application, an adoption counselor will then be in touch to answer your questions about this pup, discuss the adoption process and get the ball rolling!

I am spoiled… and I wear that title proudly! My mom didn’t have enough milk, so I was bottle-fed. I still got plenty of time with her, but I also spent countless hours snuggled up in people’s arms. That’s why I’m such a social, loving little pup—I adore being around people! I’m the perfect mix of playful and relaxed. I love romping around with my toys and having fun, but I’m just as happy curling up for a nap when playtime is over. I’ve been loved from the very beginning, and I’m ready to share all that love with a forever family. If you’re looking for a puppy who’s affectionate, well-socialized, and always ready for cuddles, I just might be the one you’ve been waiting for!

Meet Louis Vuitton, the kind of dog who turns heads everywhere he goes. Around two years old, this stunning German Shepherd mix looks like he belongs on a magazine cover with his striking features and designer good looks. His name couldn’t fit him more perfectly. Louis Vuitton is a total lovebug who adores his people with everything he has. If he had the choice, he’d spend his entire day as close to you as physically possible. He loves draping himself across your lap like the world’s sweetest weighted blanket, flopping dramatically at your feet for belly rubs, and soaking up every ounce of affection you’re willing to give. He’s the definition of a loyal companion. He’s currently thriving in a foster home with four other large dogs and has settled into the pack beautifully. While he can be a little reserved when meeting new dogs, once he’s feels comfortable, his playful side comes out. He especially enjoys wrestling, zooming around the yard, and playing with his canine best friend. He also recently met a tiny dog who enthusiastically climbed all over him, pawed at him, and nipped playfully. Louis Vuitton remained incredibly patient and tolerant throughout the entire interaction. Watch Louis’ video here! https://youtu.be/T-OnWeJz7XY?si=_fnOxXKY-xs5Dlnd He also met a kitty and simply gave a quick sniff before continuing on his way. He showed no concerning behaviors and seemed calm, respectful, and mostly uninterested. We’ll continue testing him with cats in a home setting, but his first introduction was very encouraging. Louis Vuitton has also done wonderfully around children thanks to his naturally gentle, easygoing personality. Even though he’s a larger dog, he’s incredibly careful with his body and has such a soft, kind demeanor, making him a wonderful family companion. Like many sensitive dogs, Louis Vuitton forms deep bonds with his people. When he’s feeling unsure, he looks to his trusted person for reassurance. Once he feels safe, though, his foster says he’s a playful, happy boy who loves running around the yard and showing off his goofy side. One of his funniest quirks? He’s absolutely obsessed with the water hose. Turn it on and he’ll happily try to catch the stream like it’s the greatest game ever invented. His ideal home is one that will include him in life’s adventures. Long sniffy walks, hikes, enrichment games, training sessions, or simply spending time together will make this smart, affectionate boy incredibly happy. He’d enjoy having a calm, playful dog sibling, but he’d also thrive as the center of someone’s world. If you’ve been searching for a loyal best friend with runway-worthy looks, a giant heart, and endless cuddles, Louis Vuitton is ready to steal your heart.

Bronco is the kind of dog that quietly works his way into your heart without even trying. Maybe it’s his soulful “I love you” eyes. Maybe it’s the gorgeous auburn stripe running down his back or the little tiger stripes scattered through his coat. Or maybe it’s simply the incredibly gentle way he moves through the world. Whatever it is, Bronco has a softness about him that’s impossible to miss. At around 2 years old, Bronco is the perfect mix of adventure buddy and laid-back companion. We think he’s a Shepherd/ Plotthound mix but with rescue it’s always a best guess! He absolutely loves going for walks, happily hops into the car for rides, and is wonderfully easy on leash. He’s the kind of dog who’s just as excited for a weekend adventure as he is for a quiet evening relaxing beside you. Watch Bronco in action here! https://youtu.be/_8ebM5iBOc8?si=SEl5p9TzoPtUCdIt When it comes to other animals, Bronco is truly a gem. He’s dog friendly, especially with calmer canine friends, and absolutely adores small dogs. While busy groups of dogs can feel a little overwhelming, give him one good buddy and he’s perfectly content. He’d love a respectful dog sibling, but he’d also be perfectly happy soaking up all of your attention as an only pup. And cats? Bronco practically shrugged and said, “Oh… there’s a cat.” He free-roamed with one for over 30 minutes and couldn’t have been more polite. He’s the definition of easygoing around feline friends. Bronco is also a total foodie. Bring out the treats—especially spray cheese—and suddenly you’ve got his full attention. He’s smart, eager to learn, and loves positive reinforcement, making training both fun and rewarding. Life hasn’t always been easy for Bronco. After spending months recovering while receiving medical care, he’s still learning that the world is a safe place. Because of that, he can be a little reserved when meeting new people and needs a family willing to let him settle in at his own pace. There isn’t an ounce of aggression in this sweet boy—he simply blossoms with patience, kindness, and understanding. Once he trusts you, you’ll discover the affectionate cuddle bug hiding beneath that thoughtful exterior. This sweet boy is also incredibly easy to live with. He walks beautifully on leash, rides like a pro in the car, is food motivated, eager to learn, apartment-friendly, and has the sweetest, gentlest manners. His ideal home is one that’s calm and predictable. He’d thrive with adults, older children, or anyone who appreciates a quieter companion. Since he hasn’t been formally kid-tested yet, we’d be happy to complete a kid test for any potential adopter. Bronco isn’t flashy or over-the-top. He’s the kind of best friend who quietly follows you from room to room, happily joins you on walks, accepts every snack with gratitude, and looks at you like you’ve hung the moon. If you’ve been searching for a gentle soul with a heart as beautiful as those big brown eyes, Bronco may just be your perfect match. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Hi there! My name is Sadie, and I am a pretty German Shepherd mix, about 2.5 years old, weighing 46 lbs, and I was dumped in Hollywood Park, Texas. It was obvious at the time that I had a litter of puppies somewhere, but it turns out they were kept or sold. Life can be very hard in Texas, but thankfully, the city police picked me up and kept me safe while getting me ready to find a much better life. I am now vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, current on preventatives, happy and healthy with vet records, and I'm ready to meet you! I have been having fun and making lots of new friends at the City Hall, playing with the employees, running through the corridors, and learning some basic commands like sit, down, and fetch. After hours and weekends, I get to go home with some of the residents so I can meet their dogs and enjoy a normal dog routine. I am very friendly and love everyone, including kids and other dogs. I am sweet and social, full of energy, and I love dog toys and playing fetch. My tail is always wagging, and I'm an affectionate girl enjoying pets and snuggles, and I'll roll over to get a belly rub. It turns out I am also a very good girl, well behaved, housebroken, only bark to alert, and I don't guard my food or toys... I believe in sharing! I love walks and car rides, and I'm okay in a crate, mostly sleeping in one at night or when left home alone. I am looking forward to a family of my own, so make my rescue-dog dreams come true and make me yours!! Inquire about me today. Additional YouTube videos of Sadie: https://youtube.com/shorts/7ckQ8tfl3GY https://youtube.com/shorts/ZtLOagLu-bw * 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.
