German Shorthaired Pointer puppies and dogs in Meriden, Connecticut

Bailey is a very sweet dog, and LOVES to snuggle and play. She plays with other dogs very well, and has been exposed to many different kinds/sizes. Bailey loves to run and be outside, but also loves to snuggle up on the couch all day with you. Bailey's dad (my late husband) passed away when Bailey was only 2, and she grieved him heavily when he passed. Since then, it has been us 2. Bailey has been such a sweet companion, but my schedule does not allow Bailey to have the attention she needs. I am gone at work from 7am-4pm, and 1 quick walk isn't enough attention. Since her dad's passing, I have not been able to walk her or let her play with people/dogs much, and I can tell that Bailey is unhappy with the setup. When I think of an ideal home for Bailey it includes one with someone or people that can giver her attention. I believe a family would love Bailey, or someone who is at home most of the day and can include her in daily activities.

If happiness could grow four legs and a wagging tail, we'd be introducing you to Nero Roo. This little guy is basically a walking, bouncing, zooming bundle of pure joy. Whether he's tossing his toys around, making himself laugh with his own solo zoomies, following his foster around like the world's cutest little shadow, or curling up for a nap after wearing himself out, Nero lives every single day like it's the best day ever. And honestly? We could all learn a thing or two from him. Watch his video and try not to smile... we dare you: https://youtu.be/rEF3UE1KDJE?si=zugb6Oo8Dqw8KvES At approximately 4 months old and currently 17 pounds, Nero is our best guess at a German Shorthaired Pointer/Pittie mix, but with animal rescue, it's always a mystery! Whatever breeds came together to create this handsome little guy, they gave him the perfect mix of playful puppy energy, good looks, and a personality that's somehow even cuter than his face. Nero is exactly what you'd hope for in a puppy. He's social, affectionate, curious, goofy, and always looking for his next adventure. He loves everyone he meets and has become quite the little entertainer. Whether he's making up his own games, proudly carrying toys around the house, or bouncing through the room with the cutest mini zoomies you've ever seen, he has a way of making people laugh without even trying. Speaking of toys... this boy is obsessed! Nero can keep himself entertained for ages, happily tossing toys around, pouncing on them, and creating his own little puppy party. Every now and then he'll get so excited while playing that he'll break out into a burst of solo zoomies before going right back to playing like nothing happened. It's absolutely hilarious to watch. Once he's finally worn himself out, he's more than happy to curl up for a nap before doing it all over again. And when playtime is over? He transforms into the sweetest little cuddle bug and happily follows his foster from room to room like the perfect little shadow. If you're moving around the house, chances are Nero won't be far behind because he simply wants to be wherever his people are. Nero currently lives with four other dogs ranging from small to large and gets along wonderfully with all of them. Like any puppy, he'd love for everyone to play as much as he does... unfortunately for him, the resident dogs don't always share his enthusiasm! Even so, he enjoys their company and would likely thrive with another playful dog who could match his puppy energy. He's also fostered with free-roaming cats and has done well with them, making him a wonderful candidate for a home with feline friends too. Nero has also spent time around children as young as three years old while accompanying his foster to work, and he absolutely loves all the attention. He's always excited to make new friends and happily plays with the kids who come to visit. He's already crate trained and does a wonderful job, only whining when he needs to go outside to potty. Potty training is going well too! Like any young puppy, he's still learning where the appropriate place to go is, but he's a smart little guy who's picking things up quickly. With routine, structure, and consistency, we think he'll continue making great progress. He's also incredibly food motivated and eager to learn. Nero is already learning "sit" and has picked it up quickly, making training both fun and rewarding. He's the kind of puppy who's excited to work with you, especially if treats are involved. Now, because Nero is a puppy, he's very much in his "everything is a toy" phase of life. That includes your hands! He's mouthy in that typical puppy way and will need a family committed to continuing his training and helping him learn appropriate manners as he grows. The good news is he's eager to please, responds well to learning, and has all the makings of an amazing lifelong companion. We think Nero would do wonderfully with a semi-active family that's excited to embrace all the fun that comes with raising a puppy. Whether that's hiking, neighborhood walks, backyard play sessions, or simply spending quality time together, Nero is just happy to be included. If you're looking for a puppy who's equal parts comedian, cuddle bug, best friend, and adventure buddy, Nero is ready to fill your home with laughter, toys scattered across the living room, and more love than you ever thought could fit inside a 12-pound puppy. We are willing to test Nero Roo with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
