Story
Arlo is a sweet boy, friendly with everyone including cats and dogs. He has grown with small children at home, always sweet but a bit clumsy and needs training. He is somewhat house trained but requires to go out on time or else he will go inside, that may also have to do with him not being neutered. Arlo shares the house with a small chihuahua a senior dog but he is very clumsy and will run over him. No food agression ever- he sits before we place his bowl and will wait for senior dogs bowl to be put down first before he gets his turn. Arlo will not run away he goes out to potty and wonders around the backyard but when you call his name he has a great recall and will come back running. We are hoping to find the right family for Arlo,someone who can provide him with the training he needs. He is a fast learner.

Story
Tramp had a very hard start of life. He was tied out to a dog box with a chain around his neck to keep him contained. With that being said he tore his neck from pulling on the chain, causing a huge wound. It is healing up nicely and just a matter of time to get it fully closed. He also has a moth bitten look to his fur, where my opinon is he had mange as a pup and wasn't taken care of and his fur came back a different color. Tramp is a trooper, he survived more than he should have and still a happy pup. He is playful and has energy to play, play, play. He is going threw the mouthy part of being a pup and takes no as a rule. He trys to play with fosters dog, but they don't want this kind of energy, and he makes a game out of pushing their buttons. He takes all the snaps and growls like a game, as laughing in their face. He would do great with older kids that have the energy to throw balls for him and wear him out. He was a little shy around my husband, but threw giving him treats he won him over. Tramp is leash trained, rides wonderful in the car. He's crated at night in a gated hallway and don't hear a peep out of him all night. He pretty much has the potty training broke with the help of a doggie door. No messes in his area doing the night and goes out first thing in the morning to do his busniess. Someone that can take time to teach him commands to make him a even more perfect pup. Just waiting for his new life with a family to give him all the love he desires. Tramp 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 neg 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?

Story
Cher is about 10 weeks old and will be ready to kick off 2026 in her very own home with her very own family! If you have been needing some extra love and happiness in your family, Cher is here for all of that. Apply to adopt today at www.cprdogs.com. 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.
