Story
Jimmy Buffet is ready to be adopted and share a "Cheeseburger in Paradise" with a loving family! He is an active, sweet, silly little puppy 4-5 months old, who was rescued with littermates from a Connecticut backyard breeder. All of the puppies were in terrible condition; small, starving, weak and needing emergency veterinary care. After 5 days in intensive care, Jimmy Buffet and his brother were well enough to go home with a foster family. TLC and lots of good food worked wonders and both pups are now healthy and doing well. Jimmy is on prescription gastrointestinal food and probiotics that he may need to continue going forward. This little guy has overcome a lot and deserves a family who has time to spend with and lots of love for a growing puppy. Respectful teenage children and potential adopters who live within a 2 hour drive from Connecticut. I do not ship my rescue dogs. Thank you.

Story
DOB 6-11-2025 This gorgeous little boy named Natan is a sweetheart. He is a little shy, gets along with other little dogs, loves to play and is social. Natan is up to date on shots and a healthy boy! Natan's adoption fee is 900.00 and his transport fee is 165.00. Our transport is HEARTS LLC, they run every other week to their stops on the East Coast. They are the best transport and the only one we will use. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.
