Lhasa Apso puppies and dogs in Norwich, Connecticut

If happiness came with four paws, a wagging tail and a squeaky cupcake, it might look a lot like Tater Tot! This entertaining little guy has a knack for making everyday moments memorable. Whether he's chasing his favorite ball, proudly carrying around a toy or claiming a spot beside you on the couch, Tater Tot approaches life with enthusiasm and a personality that's impossible to overlook. He's equal parts playful entertainer and cozy couch buddy, with plenty of adorable surprises waiting to be discovered! Watch Tater Tot on YouTube to see his playful antics, favorite toys and the lovable little guy behind that adorable face! https://youtu.be/WbwYEfDjoiU Tater Tot has a youthful spirit that makes spending time with him especially enjoyable. He's curious, energetic and always interested in whatever fun the day might bring. His foster family has loved watching his personality unfold as he's become more comfortable in their home, revealing a clever little character who knows how to keep himself entertained. One of Tater Tot's favorite discoveries has been the wonderful world of toys! When he first arrived at his foster home, he wasn't quite sure what to make of them. Within a couple of days, he had become a full-fledged toy enthusiast! He now enjoys tossing around his squeaky cupcake, chasing his little ball and playing with rope toys. His foster dad even made him a toy from a knotted towel, which quickly became another source of entertainment. Tater Tot loves interactive games and would happily spend time playing fetch or discovering a new favorite activity with his people. While Tater Tot has plenty of pep in his step, he also knows how to enjoy a slower moment. His foster mom shares that he'll happily settle beside her on the couch while she watches television, content to enjoy some downtime after an active day. He appreciates having people nearby and seems to enjoy being part of the household's everyday routine. Tater Tot also has an adorable little habit involving his favorite blanket. His foster family placed one inside his kennel, but Tater Tot decided it deserved a more prominent spot! He likes to pull it out himself and carry it somewhere comfortable before settling down. It's one of those funny little quirks that makes getting to know him such a treat. He's also becoming familiar with the comforts and routines of home life. Tater Tot enjoys spending his days with his foster family, heading outside regularly and relaxing in the evenings. He's accustomed to using his kennel when his family is away or at bedtime, and he continues learning the little routines that make a household run smoothly. His curious nature and love for interactive activities offer plenty of opportunities to keep building his skills. Tater Tot would thrive with a family who enjoys an active lifestyle balanced with plenty of time to unwind. He would love having someone to toss a ball, play games and share daily adventures with. A securely fenced yard would be a wonderful bonus, giving him space to run and enjoy supervised outdoor play. He could also do well with a family committed to providing regular walks, exercise and engaging activities. His ideal people would appreciate a dog who enjoys being involved in the fun but is equally happy curling up beside them when it's time to relax. A household where someone is home for much of the day or has a flexible schedule could be a particularly nice fit for his love of interaction and familiar routines. Tater Tot has previously spent time around several dogs in a foster home and may enjoy living with a well-matched canine friend who shares his enthusiasm for play. He could also be happy as the only dog, soaking up plenty of individual attention and enjoying activities with his favorite humans. His future family will have the pleasure of continuing his training, encouraging his curiosity and helping him discover even more things to love. With opportunities for exercise, enrichment and quality time together, Tater Tot has all the ingredients for a wonderfully fulfilling life. There's something especially lovable about a dog who finds so much excitement in the little things. Give Tater Tot a squeaky toy, a ball to chase and a comfortable place to land at the end of the day, and he'll be one happy boy. If you're looking for a fun-loving little best friend who can turn an ordinary afternoon into an adventure and still save you a spot on the couch, Tater Tot might be your perfect match! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6ad26b619ec229b59c0206a5 Questions?

Ace is a 1.5 year Lhasa Apso. He is silly and affectionate once he’s comfortable. We love Ace and have tried everything to keep him but he doesn’t get along with our cat. He does get along well with our other dog. He would probably do best in a home without small children. Also, Ace has a sensitivity/allergy to chicken.

👑 Meet Gucci – The Queen of the Castle! 💗 8–12 months old | Schnauzer mix | 15–17 lbs | Mostly full grown All hail Queen Gucci! 👑 This little lady hasn’t been in her foster home long, but she has already made one thing very clear: she is the queen, and everyone else is simply living in her kingdom! She enjoys keeping the other dogs in line, making sure they know how things are done. Not in a mean way, of course. She just has a certain way she likes things, and in Gucci’s world, it’s her way or the highway! You would never guess this boujee little princess once lived a very different life. Gucci came from the streets along the South Texas/Mexico border, where she was left to fend for herself. Dumpster diving for food, searching for somewhere safe to sleep, and taking shelter on strangers’ porches just to escape the rain. She was a stray that people often overlooked, or worse, got upset with simply for trying to survive. But that is not Gucci’s life anymore, and we made her a promise that it never has to be again. ❤️ These days, Gucci is all about the finer things in life. She's a clean, classy, high-maintenance kind of girl who almost seems to believe she smells like roses while everyone else needs a bath! 😂 She's got a little boujee attitude, a whole lot of personality, and absolutely no problem letting you know she's there. And boy, does this girl love to talk! Gucci enjoys telling her humans all about her day, sharing her opinions, and even tattling on the other dogs when they aren't behaving. She's a very vocal little lady who always has something to say! She also LOVES her people. Attention is always welcome (and sometimes demanded!), and she'll happily soak up all the pets, cuddles and affection you can give her. In return, you'll get plenty of sweet kisses. Underneath that bossy little queen exterior is a genuinely loving, affectionate girl. Gucci does have a few royal requirements. For example, her food and water bowls belong in a VERY specific spot. Move them even a little, and she'll politely take matters into her own paws and move them right back! Apparently, even the royal dining room has rules. 😂 She hasn't shown much interest in toys just yet, but that's probably because she's been busy playing with her foster dog friends. She gets along well with other dogs and would be happy sharing her kingdom with some furry subjects. And when she's not supervising everyone, Gucci loves her zoomies! She'll take off running, sliding around corners on the tile floors like she's in her own little race track. She's fun, playful and active without being overly energetic. Gucci is looking for a home fit for a queen! A moderately active family who will include her in their adventures, take her on walks where she can show off her fabulous self, enjoy backyard playtime, and give her all the love and attention her little heart desires. She could happily share her home with other friendly dogs and would love a family with kids, too! Gucci has gone from surviving on the streets to discovering what it feels like to be loved, safe and cherished. Now she's ready for the forever family who will remind her every single day that she's home. She's got the looks, she's got the personality, she's got the sass, and she's got a whole lot of love to give. Who has room in their heart and home for this little queen? 👑💕 PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW IF SERIOUSLY INTERESTED IN ADOPTING: The next step to adopt is to fill out an application on our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org Gucci is spayed, current on age-appropriate vaccinations (parvo/distemper, bordatella and rabies vaccine), current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a veterinarian.
