Story
Benj is some kind of couch-pretzel, people-loving, golden good boy with a side of zoomies and heart. You could sum him up with just saying- look at his face!!! That lab-like sunshine face says it all. This boy lights up for people and only aspires to be a lap dog (please don’t tell him he is considered “too big.”) Want to see Benji in action? Here you go- https://youtu.be/qaXHwytI6fU Benji is currently fostered in loving home where he lives peacefully with multiple dogs (big and small) and cats. His fosters describe him as smart, loving, and attention-seeking in the sweetest way. He’ll play chase outside with the dogs, then take breaks on his own. We love a dog that knows the joy of a well-timed break. Out and about, Benji is friendly and social. He walked right up to say hello when I met him and it was an instant connection. Of course, I later learned thats just how it feels with Benji, that connection is part of his charm. Benji also has great leash manners and is an easy walking companion which is a great quality for a dog that is so people-friendly. we greeted his fosters, and he was easy to walk on leash during his assessment. Benji’s personality has two modes, and they’re both adorable: * Outside: happy boy, a bit more focused, occasionally a little unsure in busy, new situations. Overall solid good boy still learning and growing. *Inside: this is when the lover-boy shows up. He comes over to check in, flops into you, and tries to twist himself into your lap like a happy little pretzel. This is also the time for snackies! Snuggles and treats are a top-teir combo to Benji. With new dogs, Benji can be a little insecure at first and appreciates taking it slow at first. That initial shyness is built around a sweetness. He doesn’t rush into the fast playmates role with new dogs but warms to it but we know he is a great companion and playmate thanks to the front-row seat his fosters have. In the foster home, he is doing great with the resident dogs and has a fun chase-play style. Cats are possible for Benji in the right setup. He lives with cats now and may occasionally chase a cat that moves quickly, but he’s not looking to do anything once he catches up. In his cat test, he was polite with our mellow but confident house cat, it was a very polite sniff and walk away. We’d love for Benji to have another dog in the home if cats are part of the picture, rather than a cats-only household. If he has a canine-companion for rounds of chase the cats are much less tempting. Benji would be a wonderful fit for an active person who enjoys walks and hikes as a way to get some exercise and fresh air but is a homebody type otherwise. He is well suited for either house with a yard or apartment life. The only requirement is you must love cuddling at home and not have size limitations on lap-dog privileges. This boy is people-friendly, goofy indoors, and ready to be someone’s loyal and adorable sidekick. Benji is the epitome of the kind of dog who makes a house feel lived-in in the best way… like home. Apply today to meet Benji! Adoption application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/696e9ac6cf84cc0d680b77d6 Questions?

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 at haydudeequine.org Meet Creamsicle – The Golden-Hearted Girl Who Never Stopped Believing in Love At around 9 months old and 48 pounds, Creamsicle is a beautiful Golden Retriever–Great Pyrenees mix who somehow ended up with all the Golden personality and only the Pyrenees fluff. Sweet, friendly, eager, affectionate—this girl is sunshine in dog form. If Golden Retrievers had a motivational speaker division, Creamsicle would be the CEO. But her start wasn’t golden at all. Creamsicle spent her whole puppyhood tied to a tether outside a trailer, watching the world from a spot of dirt she never deserved. No toys. No soft beds. No one to run to. No one to run with. And yet… her heart never quit. When she first came to us, she had a little food aggression around other dogs—understandable when you’ve never known if your next meal was guaranteed. But with time, consistency, and the realization that she’s finally safe, Creamsicle has blossomed beautifully. She’s now doing wonderfully with her dog friends and has never shown an ounce of aggression toward people. Humans, in her eyes, are made of magic—especially the ones willing to pet her. And oh, does she love to be loved. She leans in, she wiggles, she smiles with her whole face. She gives love like she’s been storing it up for months—because she has. Creamsicle deserved so much more than what she got in her puppy months, but she refuses to dwell on the past. She’s too busy soaking up cuddles, handing out kisses, and living her best “I’m finally free!” life. Her capacity for forgiveness and joy would put most of us to shame. This girl is resilient, goofy, grateful, and ready. Ready for a family. Ready for a home. Ready to love—and to be loved back. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle, funny, deeply affectionate companion with a heart big enough to light up your whole house… Creamsicle is your girl. Apply today at haydududeequine.org, and get ready to welcome a brave, bouncy, golden-hearted miracle into your arms, heart and home!! 🐾

Story
Starlite Sparklepaws is a sweet puppy looking for her forever home! She was born on 11/8/25 and will be ready to travel to her new home by the end of January. We know that Starlite's mom is a full-blooded Golden Retriever, but what daddy is can be anyone's guess. We think a big breed like a Newfie could be the daddy. Starlite has already mastered using a doggie door to go outside to potty. She is a very smart girl! Starlite would make a great addition to any family! She would love to go on runs, hikes, walks, or just snuggle on the couch with her human. Go ahead and apply for this sweet puppy, as she will land her new home quickly! 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.
