Story
Meet Maddie, a sweet and spirited 7-year-old mixed terrier looking for her perfect forever home. She’s incredibly smart, eager to learn, and happiest playing fetch, splashing in the water, or snuggling under a blanket with her humans. She adores ear scritches, baby carrots, and learning new tricks—especially when treats are involved! Maddie also loves tracking chipmunks. While her recall is excellent, a fenced yard is ideal to keep her safe during her explorations. She’s a sensitive soul who thrives with a little support and takes daily antianxiety medication and Proin, both of which she often takes with cheese! Maddie prefers all four paws on the ground and does not enjoy being picked up. She would do best as the only dog in a calm, adult home—young children and other dogs make her nervous, and she blossoms most when she feels secure. If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly companion with a playful streak and a big heart, Maddie might be your perfect match!

Rio

Rat Terrier Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

New Milford, CT
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rio came to us as an owner surrender when his family was losing their home to eviction. He was one of a number of dogs in the home that needed new homes, and we were able to take 3 of them. Rio is a friendly boy who is somewhat timid when he first meets new people or encounters new situations. He warms up quickly! There's no aggression - he's just a little scared at first.\ He loves other dogs and we would like to see him in a home with at least one other dog. He was best friends with a dog in his former home, and seems to love having a canine companion or two. He would be happy to live with children 10 years old or older. Rio is a wonderful boy who will make a great family member!

Story
Meet Harry, our handsome comeback kid! This sweet, slightly-over-a-year-old pup originally found his home through us as a baby, and he grew up loved. Unfortunately, life threw his adopter a pretty tough curveball, and Harry made his way back to Happy Life through no fault of his own. Now he’s looking for a brand-new chapter—preferably one with snacks, cuddles, and maybe a squeaky toy or two. Harry may give you a shy little side-eye at first, like he’s auditioning for “Most Polite Dog in the Room,” but don’t let that fool you. Give him a little time, and he turns into the happy, tail-wiggling buddy who wants nothing more than to be your loyal shadow. Once he decides you’re part of his circle, the sweetness comes pouring out—he’s loving, gentle, and oh so ready to bond with his family again. Ready to help Harry write his next happy ending? Head to happylifeanimalrescue.org to register for adoption! Once you’re registered, our team will help you set up a time to meet this special boy and see if he’s the perfect fit for your home. This sweetheart deserves a forever—and he’s hoping it might be with you.

Story
Blu is an exceptionally outgoing puppy! He has yet to meet a dog, cat, or person that he hasn't tried to play or cuddle with. Blu is the type of dog that will take a hike with you then take a nap on you. This puppy is sweet and affectionate and often acts as my shadow throughout the day. In addition to being friendly, he is very well trained. Blu knows the commands sit, stay, come, and paw. He will wait by his food bowl until he is given the command to eat. He is crate trained and will go to it when told. Blu's recall is also exceptional and rarely requires being leashed in the yard when he needs to go outside. As for his health, he is as healthy as a puppy can be. Blu has received all of his vaccinations and got all of his puppy checkups.
