Story
Aaliyah was born on December 3rd of 2024. She is a beautiful pure bred GSD who is AKC registered. I am looking to rehome her at this time due to her not getting along with my other dog. She would do best in an environment where she is the only dog in the home.*** I have two cats, and they have never had any issues. She loves playing outside, long rides in the car, friendly toward humans, and loves to cuddle. Ideally, you would have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for her to run around. Please reach out to me with anymore questions

Story
🐾✨ Sunny Needs a Loving Forever Home ✨🐾 Everyone, I’m asking for help with something very close to my heart. Sunny is an 8-year-old (almost 9) German Shepherd mix with the sweetest soul you’ll ever meet. I rescued him last year from a truly awful situation, and since then he’s blossomed into the most loyal, gentle, and loving companion. Unfortunately, his previous owner recently reached out to say her new partner is severely allergic to dogs, and I’m terrified of him ending up on the streets again. I can’t let that happen. Sunny is laid-back and calm, but he still enjoys being active and going on adventures. He thrives best as the only pet in the home—he wants to give all his love to his person. He’s house-trained, deeply loyal, and has so much love left to give. This is incredibly hard for me because I care about him so much, but I already have a dog and can’t keep him permanently. What I can do is make sure he finds a home where he’ll be safe and happy.

Story
Tru is a gorgeous, high-energy, athletic girl who is looking for a home that matches her zest for life. At around 65 pounds, she's a strong, powerful dog who LOVES to move — running, hiking, exploring, and playing are her absolute favorite things. If you’re looking for a dedicated adventure partner, Tru is your girl. She walks on a leash but would much prefer to go, go, go! This is not an apartment dog — she needs space, exercise, and a family who understands and appreciates an athletic dog. Tru is extremely friendly with all dogs and all people, but she does best with someone confident, consistent, and comfortable handling a strong dog. 🌟 Personality Super friendly with people and other dogs Very athletic and energetic LOVES to run — needs daily exercise Walks on leash but wants to move fast Needs a strong, firm, dog-savvy handler Joyful, social, and enthusiastic 🏡 Ideal Home Tru needs an adopter who enjoys outdoor time and can give her the active lifestyle she thrives on. A fenced yard, a runner, or a hiker would be perfect. No apartments. She will shine in a structured, active home where she can burn energy and get consistent guidance. Tru 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 ****** 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.

Story
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.

Cute Leale is a 6 month old, mixed breed puppy that can't wait to meet you! She is sweet, loves people, gets along great with other dogs, and is loads of fun. She has all of the makings of a perfect BDF (Best Dog Friend). 💜 She's super smart! 💜 She'll be excited to see you every time you come home...in a personal pep squad kind of way, not a Stage Five Clinger kind of way! 💜 She is eager to please and will be a pleasure to train. 💜 She loves other dogs so she would do well at obedience class, doggie daycare, or the park. 💜She will help you make new friends...if you're into that sort of thing...everyone is going to want to meet her when you're out for a walk! If Leala seems like a good fit for you, we'd sure love to hear from you and tell you more about this great pup!
