Story
Are you looking for a loving companion to brighten up your life? Look no further! Jaxon is a charming 5 year old Maltese (mix?) ready to steal your heart and become your lifelong friend. Jaxon is already housebroken so no accidents! This guy will give you a warm greeting but not little kids, so he cannot be adopted to a home with young children. Jaxon gets along with other docile dogs, and hasn't had a problem while on a leash greeting other dogs. Jaxon is looking for his forever family. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped, included in his $350 adoption fee. If you would like to adopt Jaxon, please copy and paste this link to your web browser to fill out our online application, https://www.jotform.com/form/200215767055148 . Jaxon is in Fairfield, CT and ready to come home. We cannot be certain what his true mix is.

Story
*Name: Misha *Age: 4 years old  *Current Weight: 16 lbs *Adoption fee: $475 (plus $150 spay/neuter deposit, see below for more information) Introducing Misha: a resilient 4-year-old who's captured our hearts after being rescued from a challenging hoarding situation.  Misha's journey has taught her the value of companionship, and she thrives best with another dog by her side. She's a social butterfly who loves to play and bond with her furry friends. A fenced-in yard would be ideal for Misha, as she enjoys exploring and having space to roam and play freely. We're seeking patient adopters who understand that Misha may need some time to adjust to her new surroundings. She's incredibly sweet-natured and eager to please, but she may need some extra patience and guidance as she settles into her forever home. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a loving companion like Misha, please consider giving her the chance she deserves. Together, we can give Misha the happily-ever-after she's been dreaming of. IMPORTANT: This dog has not yet been altered. SNARR requires a $150 deposit in addition to your adoption fee, as well as a strictly enforced Spay/Neuter Contract stating you will have this dog altered within 6 months of adoption. The $150 deposit will be returned once the contract has been fulfilled. To apply to adopt, fill out an application at https://snarrnortheast.org/adopt/ PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR FAQs  ##2008730##

Story
Name: Thicket Nickname: Thicket the Ticket. Sweetheart. Spicket. Breed: Havanese? Maltese? Terrier mix? Age: ~ 2 years Sex: Female Weight: 12 pounds Before OMD: Found in the woods, brought to the shelter, and was immediately stressed out by the busy kennel - they reached out to us and we were lucky enough to have an open foster for her. Key descriptors: Cute. Sweet. Silly. Strong. Adventurous. Entertaining. Active. Curious. Playful. Bouncy. Energetic. Inquisitive. Involved. Fearless. Energy level: Medium-high. She’s a busy body and always on the move. Walks could always stand to be a little longer in her opinion. Affection level: She’s an independent girl, but doesn’t shy away from a good snuggle from time to time. Moonlights as: Neighbourhood watch captain - you, or a squirrel, or a leaf… are not getting by the window unnoticed. What we love: How she reaches out her front legs to say hello to you. When she dramatically flops down and rolls over to show her belly. What she loves: The great outdoors; she never wants to come inside. What this means for you: No couch potatoes! If you’re looking for a quiet lap dog she’s not the gal for you. Could be funny/could be annoying: She’s a howler when things get exciting. Caught in the act: It’s rumoured she’s been spotted on top of the coffee table and counters once or twice. What she knows: Sit. Come. What she’s working on: Walking nicely on the leash - she may be little but she’s a puller. Finding her indoor voice - girl’s got a set of lungs on her, which may not be best suited for apartments. Dogs: Sure! Thicket currently lives with her foster brother…okay, foster boyfriend, and they’re pals. She can get a bit snappy and redirects towards her foster boyfriend when overstimulated (isn’t this the case in every relationship?), but redirects easily. Kids: Sure, dog-savvy kids should be fine! She does not currently live with kids, but seems to be fine with some chaos. Cats: Maybe if the cat is super dog-savvy - we suspect she’ll chase and need a fair amount of correcting. House-trained: She’s 75% of the way there! Crate-trained: Definitely not, but has proven to be well behaved when left alone. Thicket is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. She is available for adoption to residents of Connecticut and surrounding states. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an application from omdrescue.org
