Story
12 wk old Champ is as sweet as she is cute! Champ is a happy, friendly pup and she loves other dogs. She is going to be a lot of fun for walks around the neighborhood and all of your adventures. If you're looking for a great 4-legged best friend and you think she might be a good fit for your household, we'd love to hear from you. 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 picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, 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. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get an automatically generated confirmation email. 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
WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Ellie - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Hello big ole world, let me introduce myself. I'm Ellie and I'm here looking to adopt me a family, a home...one I can say will be all mine! And since you're reading this, I'm hoping that you'll consider making ME a part of yours!!!! I was rescued from a local shelter to be given this chance at a loving fur-ever home!! This SSF (single spayed female) is in search of my LFH (loving forever home). I'm just right around 4 years old and come in at about 85lbs. I'm one of the happiest gals you'll have the pleasure to meet. I always has a big ole smile on my face and it's always ear to ear!!! If you like pina coladas...I'll just share your bottle of water. I'm not much into health food but I'd share a pizza with you. If you like getting caught in the rain, I'd be happy to dodge those raindrops with you. The only Escape I was looking for was out of that shelter so I could find YOU! I'd make a fabulous life pawtner, as I won't complain if you're late, in fact I'll meet you at the door, tail a waggin, I only make one dish dirty at a time, I won't make you do much laundry and I leave the bathroom clean, doing my business outside! I was a tad bit shy and overwhelmed with the shelter environment but I have been doing really well once I was in a home surroundings. I get on great with my 4legged 'siblings' here at my foster home but would probably do best in a home with only older kiddos. I haven't had the pleasure yet of meeting any of those creatures y'all call a cat. I love walks... both leisurely neighborhood strolls and hiking those pawsome nature trails and I walk really well on the leash. I wouldn't even mind sleeping on the ground if meant we got to go on some of those fabulous camping trips! I am soooo ready to unleash all this awesomeness on a family so if you're ready for a lil heartbeat at your feet and feel like I could be a perfectly pawsome fit for your family please stop scrolling and fill out my adoption application. You can find it at haydudeequine.org Lots of puppy kisses and tail wags, Ellie!

Story
Meet Loki, our goofy fun loving golden pup! He has a higher energy level but he loves his cuddle time as well. We think he could make a great family dog or a best friend for anybody looking for endless golden love! He loves collecting his sticks and goofing around in the yard. He is still young and could use a little help finding his confidence in new environments but this silly guy will keep you and your family laughing all day! He is very affectionate and ready for any new adventures you want to take him on!     APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  60 lbs. ESTIMATED DOB:  9/16/2024 GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS:  yes GOOD WITH KIDS:  6+ preferred  GOOD WITH CATS:  unknown REQUIRES A FENCE:  no ACTIVITY LEVEL:  high energy LIKES TO VOCALIZE:  yes SPECIAL NEEDS:  no BREED EXPERIENCE NEEDED:  no APPROPRIATE PLACEMENT FOR 1ST TIME DOG OWNER?  no FREE OBEDIENCE TRAINING IS OFFERED WITH ALL DOG ADOPTIONS &#226&#128&#139Please note that we are often asked if dogs are "house trained".  The dogs are in fact living in a kennel environment during their time with us.  Even if they have previously lived in a home and been trained - the stress of the change and the new home can sometimes cause regression and require some additional training.  We feel that it's best for all adopters to be prepared for this possibility. Visit our adoption page for details about our process, and to fill out an adoption application.  All animals come spayed/neutered, UTD on vaccines, and microchipped.  If the animals age or health prevents any of these from being completed prior to adoption a voucher is issued for the services to be performed.  If you have any questions about the animal, or our adoption process, please email adopt@littleguild.org.  The Little Guild is a 501c(3) federally recognized non-profit organization devoted to saving the lives of homeless pets.  April 29, 2025, 3:50 pm
