Pointer puppies and dogs in Meriden, Connecticut

Meet Lil Bit, There’s a funny story behind my name! When I was found as a stray, someone called a rescue for help. Based on my name, they were expecting a tiny little dog. Well… surprise! I’m a whole lot more dog than they expected! Even though I’m a big girl , I’m as gentle as they come. I’m wonderful with puppies, love every dog I meet, and never turn down a good head scratch. If you’re looking for an easygoing, friendly companion with a big heart and an even bigger smile, I’m your girl. All I need now is a family to call my own. 🐾 He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com

Meet Lena, If you need a friend to hang out with, I could be the one! I am gentle, quiet and not much of a barker. I will walk on a leash, although I may need a little time to warm up and get comfortable. I am really good with other dogs, but I prefer friends closer to my size—those little ones tend to get under my feet! As you can see, I have the most beautiful spotted coat. If hiking and outdoor adventures are your thing, count me in! I would love to explore with you and then relax by your side. Could I be your new best friend? He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com

Meet Amy, I have the cutest little spots on me! People keep telling me I’m adorable, and I have to agree. Can’t you just picture me curled up beside you on the couch with a fire glowing in the fireplace? I’m excellent company, and I’d even share the blanket with you. My siblings taught me how to share—although I may need the warmest spot! All I need now is a couch, a cozy blanket, and a family to call my own. He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com

💔 Meet Barbie — the Little Warrior Who Waited for Someone to Notice Her 💔 Barbie is currently located in Mobile, Alabama, but can’t be transported to your area. If heartbreak had a face, it would be the soft black-and-white muzzle of Barbie, a sweet mixed-breed puppy who, at just three months old, spent her days waiting outside a gym… alone. No collar. No food. No one coming back for her. Imagine being only a baby and not understanding why you’d been left behind — yet still watching every door with hope. But even as people rushed in and out, chasing their own strength, this tiny girl sat by the entrance, trembling but trying so hard to wag her tail at every passing stranger… as if to say, “Please see me.” And then—finally—kind hearts did. Gym regulars noticed her, hungry and scared, and they refused to let her story end in that parking lot. They scooped her up, wrapped her in safety, and gave her the first warmth she’d felt in a long time. Now in rescue, Barbie is showing the world exactly who she is: gentle, loving, and unbelievably sweet. She leans into every cuddle like she’s making up for lost time. She follows people with soft, hopeful eyes, wanting nothing more than to be loved and to never be forgotten again. Barbie deserves a home where she is cherished. Where doors open for her, not close behind her. Where she is part of a family who sees not the puppy who was abandoned… but the puppy who kept loving anyway. If you have room in your heart and home for a little girl who survived loneliness with love still in her eyes, Barbie will give you every bit of her heart. 💖 Adopt Barbie. Let her grow up knowing she finally belongs.

This lil southern beauty lives up to her name. She has all eyes in her when she walks up. Ms Dolly is as sweet and playful as can be. She loves everyone and everything.Dolly is spayed and current on all vaccines. She’s smart and very playful. Ms Dolly is located in Dresden Tn. Transportation can be arranged for an additional $185. If you’re interested in this lil Lady contact Lisa Oatsvall at 731-499-0739 or email oatsvall973@yahoo.com

Meet Espresso Bean Good things take time to brew, and Espresso is proof of that — this 4-month-old Pointer/Labrador Retriever mix is one of the four adorable pups from the "Café" litter, and he's exactly the kind of dog who reveals himself slowly, in the best way. He's dressed in a beautiful white coat covered in the cutest tan details: a striking patch around his right eye, little cow-like spots scattered across his back, and a dipped tail that ties his whole one-of-a-kind look together. Of all the Café puppies, Espresso is the more reserved and thoughtful one. While some of his siblings might dive headfirst into the middle of everything, Espresso prefers to take it all in first. You'll often find him quietly sniffing around a new environment, carefully checking things out, and giving himself a little time to decide that everything is okay before he settles in. It's not shyness so much as a gentle, observant nature — he just likes to look before he leaps. Espresso has also grown up alongside his three Café Litter siblings, giving him wonderful early socialization with other young puppies. He's accustomed to playing, exploring, and sharing his world with his brothers and sister, and continued positive socialization will help his confidence keep growing. Like any puppy his age, Espresso is still early in his training journey. His forever family should be ready to continue working on potty training, crate training, leash skills, basic commands, and positive socialization with patience and consistency as he grows. This sweet boy would especially appreciate a family that understands the magic of a slower, softer approach. Let him sniff. Let him observe. Give him some gentle encouragement and affection without expecting too much too quickly. It doesn't take Espresso long to come around, and watching that playful, affectionate puppy emerge makes the wait completely worth it. Espresso is thoughtful, inquisitive, affectionate, and oh-so-sweet. Give this handsome spotted boy a little time to get comfortable, and he'll happily show you just how much puppy love he's been brewing. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a8df38e90889e1d800adb0c Questions?
