Story
Flynn is genuinely one of the sweetest, most gentle boys you could meet! He has a wonderful personality and absolutely loves being around people. He is a very affectionate, easygoing dog who enjoys attention and is always happy to have someone spend time with him. Flynn has been around large dogs, small dogs, and children and has done great with all of them. He is very social and loves having other dogs to play with. Despite his love for running around and playing, he has a surprisingly gentle nature and does a wonderful job interacting with those around him. One thing about Flynn is that he LOVES to play! Whether it’s chasing a ball, playing with squeaky toys, or running around with his doggy friends, he is always ready for some fun. He has a playful, youthful personality without being overly rough, making him a wonderful combination of energy and sweetness. Flynn listens well and is currently learning basic commands, including sit. He walks fairly well on a leash and does reasonably well during baths. He is attentive and has shown a willingness to learn. With continued training, consistency, and patience, we believe he will continue developing into a very well-mannered companion. Flynn has a great balance of a playful spirit and a gentle personality. He enjoys staying active and having fun, but what makes him special is how sweet and loving he is while doing it. He is the kind of dog who can turn an ordinary day into a good one just by being around. Flynn is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. All dogs 6 month + receive a Proheart 6 injection at the time of their heartworm test. This provides heartworm prevention for 6 months from the time of that injection. This dog has tested negative for heartworms. The adoption fee is $450 if your adoption is prepaid and final prior to your dog's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on dogs 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! If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at our 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. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get a confirmation. 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! If you have not heard from one of our volunteers within 5 days of submitting your application, please email mollibo@gmail.com.

Story
Norah was picked up by our county animal control as a pregnant momma. Just two weeks later, she gave birth to her puppies on a cold, concrete floor. Severely underweight, stressed, and exhausted, Norah needed help, and we were asked to step in. On September 2nd, Norah and her two babies, Lolo and Grace, came to Good Catch. She weighed just 53 pounds and was completely depleted. We immediately started her on a high-calorie diet with added vitamins and minerals to help her regain her strength while continuing to nurse her puppies. From day one, she proved to be an amazing momma and an even more incredible dog. We estimate Norah to be around 7 years old, although she fools us sometimes when she gets the zoomies or rolls around with a puppy toy in her mouth. She loves her outdoor adventures just as much as her couch time, making her a wonderfully balanced companion for so many different homes. This beauty has never met a stranger. She welcomes every new person with a smile and a wagging tail and has been gracious with the more than 15 different dogs she's met during her time in rescue. She pays no mind to our resident cats, but the Pyrenees in her certainly enjoys barking at our cows and goats! And yes, you read that right! Norah's top breed is Great Pyrenees, followed by German Shepherd and Chow Chow. You can see the results of her DNA test above. Norah has spent her life raising litters of puppies. It shows. Her boobies hang down like Christmas ornaments, but her years of motherhood are reflected in something even more beautiful: her incredibly maternal and nurturing nature. This momma is patient, calm, doting, and loving. Very little rattles her, and the simplest things delight her. A new smell, a squeaky toy, a good chew, or a tasty treat can make her whole day. Norah is now 65 pounds, fully vetted and so ready to follow her babies down the road to what we call "Foreverville." For years, Norah has given everything she has to raising her babies. Now it's her turn to be somebody's baby. She deserves a family to call her own, a soft place to land, and the kind of love she's spent her whole life giving away. We can't wait for her to finally know what that feels like. Out of state adopters welcome!! There are no additional transport fees, veterinary fees, or surprise charges. Your out-of-state adoption fee includes: Your wonderful new pup Spay/neuter for dogs over 6 months Age-appropriate vaccinations Veterinary exam Microchip Heartworm and tick-borne disease testing and prevention 12-month proheart shot for dogs over 1 year Special safety Martingale collar Safe, comfortable transportation to your area Support during your dog's transition We are based in Texas but adopt to multiple states. We work with trusted transport partners to safely deliver our dogs to their forever homes, and all dogs are checked by a veterinarian and receive a health certificate prior to travel.

Story
Introducing this wonderfully sweet, loyal, loving shepherd girl named Claudine! This girl is a social butterfly who is so sad to not have a home to devoted herself to and love! When she came into rescue fortunately a wonderful foster agreed to take her in and care for her as she got ready for adoption! Claudine is about 3 years young and currently weighs 65 lbs. though her ideal weight is closer to 70 (she’s gaining!). She’s been to the vets and had all of her medical work completed including vaccines, deworming, microchipping, heartworm testing, she’s current on preventative and she’s been spayed! She’s doing amazing and this great girl is officially ready for adoption!!! Claudine is a brilliant girl who is loving, and wants very much to hand her heart over to owners as devoted as she is! She has adjusted beautifully to foster care and is great in the house, reliably going potty outside. She loves to take her walks and has been good on a leash. She’s great in the car and the kind of girl who would love to hop up in the car or truck and accompany you wherever you go! She’s been fabulous with everyone she meets, whether it’s her foster home, friends, family, even the vets. The son in her foster home has taught her to sit, and she does great! She loves treats and is eager to please and learn anything you’d like to teach her. Claudine is an incredible dog who will thrive in a home with a yard where she can play and relax, enjoying the peace of nature. She is very devoted and will enjoy parents or a family who would like a dog to snuggle with them on the sofa and be beside them at bedtime, take walks and hikes, and have a genuinely loving companion. Claudine is active, attentive, loving, and absolutely gorgeous. Shes longing for parents who are just as loyal, who will make this girls dream of a loving forever home come true.

Story
Lexie is a sweet, loving 7-year-old dog who has been a wonderful part of our family. We purchased her from a dog shop in Manchester, CT. She is well-trained, fully potty trained, and great with children. Lexie is energetic, affectionate, and loves cuddles, belly rubs, and treats! She enjoys spending time outside, especially during the beautiful spring and summer days. She is healthy, vaccinated, up to date on her rabies shot, and has been spayed since she was 6 months old. She has a consistent diet and is a very good girl. We are looking for a loving home that can give Lexie the time, attention, exercise, and affection she deserves. As our family grows, our schedules have become increasingly busy, and we want to make sure she gets the attention she needs. This is not an easy decision because we love Lexie very much. Our biggest hope is to find her a family who will love her and treat her like part of their family.
