Story
My name is Jasper, and I'm the sweetest little 5 month old, 18 pound love that you'll ever meet. I can be a little shy at first, but give me a little time and I’ll be full speed ahead! I’m just checking everything out before deciding if I want to stay—and making sure you have all the important things: good food, fun toys and a soft bed. Once I decide you’re my person, I’ll most likely become your very best friend! 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 $450 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.

Story
Quinn loves, loves, loves other dogs. he runs and bows and has a ball with large and small dogs although he might trip on a small dog he is so exuberant. when meeting new dogs he is so happy he forgets to be shy around their humans. definately needs another dog in the house or a good nearby dog friend. Also, he is reliably house trained. Meet Quinn, a one-of-a-kind canine companion with a heart as big as his personality. This handsome boy might be a unique mix of a Rat Terrier or Jack Russell Terrier, with the sleek and graceful body of a Whippet, and perhaps a few other surprises in the mix! Quinn is estimated to be around 4 to 5 years old and weighs about 26 lbs. Quinn is a true gentleman, with a dignified and gentle spirit. He is independent and smart, and while he may take a little time to adjust to new surroundings, he is worth the wait. Initially shy, Quinn will warm up to you with patience and understanding. He just needs a little time to settle into his new life and feel comfortable enough to show his true colors. In his previous home, Quinn was said to be energetic, playful, and outgoing, especially with older children and cats. He is house-trained and neutered, making him ready to join your family right away. While his foster family hasn't seen his playful side just yet, they believe it's just a matter of time and love before Quinn feels comfortable enough to let his guard down and show his playful, energetic side again. Quinn would do well with patient adopters who can give him the time and understanding he needs to truly shine. If you're looking for a loyal companion to snuggle up with on the couch and be your best friend
