Story

Meet Panda! Panda is 8 years old and his favorite pet friend is a miniature schnauzer who tends to bully him! Panda loves playing fetch, loves walks on known paths. Panda is very sensitive to loud noises especially to thunder/fireworks. Panda is house trained. Panda has been with family with 2 kids now ages 11 and 13. We had him since he was a puppy. We have relocated and have been trying to accustom Panda to new smaller house, smaller yard and much noisier than he was used to location. Panda had a lot of anxiety with the noise and as a result my landlord has given me a deadline to relocate him. He is ideal for an older experienced handler in a secluded area with a big yard. To help with transition we are open to letting miniature schnauzer go with him she is 9 years old and extremely smart dog, she walks without a leash, follows commands, house trained, understands routine and help keeps Panda in line when needed. He is accustomed to being more outside, except in the summer.

Story

Nico is a 2.5-year-old neutered male Akita on Long Island, NY. He is a loyal, devoted dog who bonds deeply with his person and thrives with an experienced owner familiar with Akitas or similar guardian breeds. He is calm and well-mannered in the house, fully housebroken, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Nico enjoys daily structure, 45-minute walks, backyard play, and quiet time at home. He eats Arcana food twice daily and knows commands such as sit, stay, wait, down, paw, up, and settle. He has completed puppy classes and private training. Nico must be the only pet and should live in an adult-only home. He is naturally protective and does best with clear boundaries, consistency, and calm introductions. In the right home, Nico will be an incredibly loyal companion and steady presence. This rehoming is being done responsibly due to major life changes, with his long-term well-being as the top priority. He is a special dog who will be deeply devoted to the right person.

Story

Saki came to HHR by way of our rescue friends in GA. Saki was scheduled for euthanasia for being a special needs dog. She is at least partially hearing impaired and has a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). CH is a permanent condition caused by exposure to distemper while in utero. The exposure causes underdevelopment of the cerebellum in the brain- the part responsible for fine motor skills. CH does not affect Saki’s health, but it is the reason her head bobbles and she walks a little differently than other dogs. We think it only adds to her personality. She is a silly, playful, energetic girl that loves to run and play. She gets along with other dogs in her foster home but can also be a bit rude in the beginning because her condition leaves her less able to read cues from other dogs. Saki would be best suited for a home with adults or older kids (teens and up). Saki is about two and a half years old and weighs 58 lbs. She is spayed; vaccinated for rabies, distemper, and bordetella; microchipped; and recently treated for heartworm by our veterinarian. Saki is current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

Story

Cash, isn’t he gorgeous?! and he is oh so sweet, his foster says she is constantly covered in puppy kisses and greeted with his beautiful smile. Cash is a 11 month old Akita who found himself in rescue when his senior owners were no longer able to care for him. He doing wonderful in foster care, playing with other dogs, rolling in leaves and going on adventures. He doesn't like to share a food dish with his dog friends (who would?) so he eats alone but that's very easy to accommodate. Cash is a smart, outgoing, loyal athletic young dog, he will need continued training as he continues into adulthood. He is great with other dogs medium sized and larger, no small dogs for Cash as he does have a prey drive indicative of his breed. Cash has been great with older children (8 and up). He is friendly with new people and shown a fondness for leaning in and back scratches. Cash is housebroken and leash trained. He will make a great addition to your home. Cash is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. All dogs 6 month + receive a Proheart 6 injection at the time of their heartworm test. This provides heartworm prevention for 6 months from the time of that injection. This dog has tested negative for heartworms. The adoption fee is $450 if your adoption is prepaid and final prior to your dog's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on dogs 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! If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at our 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.

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Hachiko!Hachiko came to the shelter as a stray after being found wandering, and his past remains a bit of a mystery. From the start, he has shown himself to be calm, composed, and quietly social. He tends to observe his surroundings first, then approaches people on his own terms, accepting pets and attention with a neutral, steady demeanor. Hachiko has a thoughtful presence and prefers respectful interactions rather than constant handling.My Ideal HomeHachiko would do best in a calm, experienced home that understands independent, sensitive dogs. He thrives with adopters who can move at his pace, respect his boundaries, and allow him to initiate interactions. A quiet environment, predictable routine, and positive, low-pressure training will help him feel secure. Mental enrichment and daily walks are important to keep him balanced and engaged.Good with Kids?No young children. Hachiko prefers calm, predictable interactions and would be most comfortable in an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy teens who can respect his space.Good with Other Pets?Hachiko's history with other animals is unknown. In shelter observations, he has shown interest in other dogs and can become overstimulated, particularly during introductions. Careful management and slow, structured introductions would be essential in any multi-dog home. His history with cats is unknown.Leash MannersHachiko walks politely on leash with little to no pulling. He may move slowly at times and prefers calm, low-pressure walks where he can observe and sniff without being rushed.Overall HealthRecovering from CIRDC.Behavior DeterminationLevel 2 - Hachiko is generally easy to handle but can be fearful or anxious in new situations. He benefits from slow introductions, choice-based interactions, and a low-stress environment to build confidence.Other Fun FactsHachiko enjoys leaning in for gentle pets, taking treats politely, and quietly spending time near his people. He's not overly toy-driven and prefers calm companionship. Once he feels comfortable, his steady, loyal nature really shines through Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 86.125 Age: 4yrs 1mths 1wks

Story

Meet Oley!Oley is a sweet and affectionate dog who found himself in need of a new home after his previous owner, who had to relocate, was no longer able to care for him. He's been a great companion, showing a calm and gentle nature with the people he's met so far. Oley is a social guy who enjoys being close to his family, whether it's hanging out in the living room or spending time with people in the bedroom. He has a playful side, especially when it comes to stuffed animal toys or playing tug-of-war, but he also loves lounging around and enjoying a good bath! My Ideal HomeOley is looking for a home where he can relax and be close to his people. He would do best in a calm environment with someone who can spend a lot of time with him. He needs a household without young children (under 5) and no cats, as he has shown some lunging behavior towards cats in the past. Oley is a great dog for someone who enjoys a low-key lifestyle and can provide him with the attention and space he needs to thrive. He enjoys his daily walks and would love a home with a securely fenced yard for leisurely outdoor time. Good with Kids?Yes, Oley is friendly and outgoing with older kids, but he would do best in a home without very young children. He is playful and affectionate around older children who can respect his space and boundaries, but his resource guarding tendencies and behavior around younger children make him unsuitable for homes with kids under 5. Good with Other Pets?Oley has lived with other dogs before and is generally friendly and outgoing with them, so he could thrive in a home with another dog. However, he does not do well with cats. He has shown a tendency to lunge at them during walks, which is a behavior that will need to be managed carefully with training. As for small animals, it's recommended that they also be kept out of his environment. Leash MannersOley walks well on a leash and doesn't pull, making him a great companion for leisurely strolls. However, he does have some on-leash reactivity, particularly when it comes to cats, so he may need some work on impulse control and focus during walks. It's recommended to use a secure harness and leash, keep a safe distance from triggers, and incorporate positive reinforcement techniques like "leave it" and "watch me" to help manage his reactivity. Overall HealthOley is a generally healthy dog, although he's been showing signs of mild anemia and osteoarthritis, as well as some dental disease. He's currently undergoing treatment for a respiratory issue (CIRDC) and some mild inappetence, but with the right care, he's expected to improve. Oley is also a senior dog, so his medical needs will need to be managed. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 104 Age: 11yrs 0mths 3wks
