Lil Judy is a sweet, fun, silly pup and she's ready for a home of her own. She's currently almost 5 months old, she LOVES people, and she also really loves playing with her litter mates. She is going to be a pleasure to train as she grows up and she's going to be an amazing best friend for her people. If you'd like to add some fun & joy to your life, Lil Judy is ready to bring it! Her foster mom would love to do a virtual meet so if you think Judy could be a good fit for your household, we'd love to hear from you. *More pics coming soon! 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. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get an automatically generated confirmation email. Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back. After receipt of your application, an adoption counselor will then be in touch to answer your questions about this pup, discuss the adoption process and get the ball rolling! If you have not heard from one of our volunteers within 5 days of submitting your application, please email mollibo@gmail.com.

Snuggles Cuddlesworth is the kind of dog who reminds you just how much tenderness can live inside one little soul. She is sweet, gentle, and quietly trying to be brave, even when the world still feels a little bigger than she is ready for. She may not immediately run into your arms, but give her a little patience and a peaceful place to land, and you will begin to see the affectionate, curious little dog waiting underneath all that shyness. Watch her video and fall in love with her gentle little soul: https://youtu.be/XTUAXE_vq9Q Snuggles is approximately 6 years old, currently weighs around 17 pounds, and is believed to be a Terrier mix. As always with animal rescue, her breed and age are our best guesses, and we can never guarantee either. Snuggles is incredibly sweet, but she can be shy and needs a little time to feel comfortable before showing you more of herself. She is not the kind of dog who immediately climbs into a stranger’s lap or demands everyone’s attention. She watches, takes everything in, and opens up once she realizes she is safe. With Snuggles, trust is built through patience, consistency, and all those quiet moments that may seem small to everyone else but mean everything to her. Snuggles is dog friendly and has done great with the other dogs she has spent time around. She is currently fostered with one large dog and one teeny-tiny Miniature Pinscher mix, and she gets along wonderfully with both. She enjoys playing chase and does best with easygoing dogs who are gentle but still willing to have a little fun. She is not looking for anything overly rowdy or rambunctious, just respectful dog friends who will not turn every interaction into a wrestling match. While Snuggles enjoys other dogs, she is definitely more of a people’s dog than a dog’s dog. She naturally gravitates toward her humans and would much rather stay close to her favorite people, soak up their attention, and quietly keep them company. She would be perfectly happy sharing her home with another friendly dog, but she does not need a canine companion to feel comfortable or fulfilled. Her people are who truly make her happiest. Snuggles is also currently being fostered in a home with cats and has been respectful and appropriate around them. She does not chase or seem bothered by them moving around, jumping, or doing all the mysterious little things cats do. With proper introductions and respectful feline friends, we believe she could happily share her future home with cats. Some of Snuggles’ happiest moments happen outside. She loves running around, exploring the yard, and keeping her foster company while she gardens. She will happily wander through the plants, investigate every interesting scent, and enjoy the freedom of having a safe outdoor space where she can relax and be herself. There is something so endearing about watching this shy little dog come alive outside before making her way back to her favorite person. Inside the home, Snuggles is wonderfully easy to have around. Her foster says she has great house manners, and she is crate trained and very comfortable in her crate. It gives her a safe, familiar place where she can relax without feeling pressured. She also loves treats and enjoys playing with toys, both of which are wonderful ways to help her build confidence and strengthen her bond with her future family. Snuggles’ softness is what makes her so special. She does not need someone who expects an instant connection or measures love by how quickly a dog asks for affection. She needs someone who understands that shy dogs have their own way of saying, “I’m starting to trust you.” It may begin with her choosing to stay nearby, following you into the yard, relaxing while you move around the house, or looking to you when she needs reassurance. Eventually, those little moments begin adding up to something incredibly meaningful. A calm home with patient people would give Snuggles the time and reassurance she needs to continue opening up. She may never be the dog who wants to greet every person she meets, but she does not have to be. She is sweet, affectionate, quietly playful, and ready to build a life with someone who will love her exactly where she is while giving her the space to become everything she is capable of being. If you believe the most rewarding relationships are the ones built through trust, patience, and a hundred quiet moments of choosing one another, Snuggles may be the gentle little soul meant for you. We are willing to test Snuggles Cuddlesworth with anything you need in order to ensure it is a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

Meet Zach! Adoption Fee: $449 Includes transport Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 Zach is a sweet, friendly pup who loves people and gets along beautifully with just about everyone. He's currently in a foster home with dogs, cats and children and fits right in. He even loves curling up in bed with his foster family at night. Zach is approximately 10 months old and weighs only 11lbs. He may still have a little growing to do. His story began when we received a call about approximately 10 dogs that had apparently been dumped in the middle of nowhere. By the time help arrived, only these three remained. Sadly, the others had reportedly been hit by cars or attacked by animals. Judging by how comfortable and affectionate they are with people; we believe they were pets at some point. We don’t know where they came from or how they ended up abandoned, but we do know they’ll never have to fend for themselves again. Zach is the last little pup left from this group. These little survivors have been through enough. Now they deserve safe, loving homes of their own where they can spend the rest of their lives being loved and spoiled. If you love small-breed dogs and think Zach could be the perfect addition to your family, please submit an adoption application. We’d love to talk to you about him! Here's the adoption application, please copy & paste. https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 **To see all of our pets available for adoption, please copy this link. https://www.petfinder.com/search/pets-for-adoption/?shelter_id%5B0%5D=AL450&sort%5B0%5D=recently_added Paws of Dixie Animal Rescue adopts in the New England area.
