Meet Gia, a sweet 10-year-old mixed breed dog with an adorable underbite that will melt your heart. Gia may be an older lady, but she’s full of love and affection, especially when it comes to people.

Story
Sweet girl dumped by her owners after 9 years. Left at a pound in LA Kiss went on the euth list and we scooped her up. She loves walks, is cute as all get out, and would make a low maintenance companion dog! She is heavy set at about 35 pounds but is quiet and lazy and very cute if you like an open face and low maintenance companion. She is housetrained, gets along with cats and dogs but would love to be an only dog and be fussed over. Debarked she is quiet tho can make a noise when needed (sad attempt at a bark). I thought she would be popular but here she sits. Her adoption fee is 195.00

Story
Bernard is a male Akita who is good with kids, likely okay with cats, and selective of the company with other dogs.Bernard is a gentle, well-mannered and easy-going boy. He enjoys the company of people and working a crowd for their love and attention. This super relaxed guy just wants to hang and keep you company. He's very good about taking baths, going to the vet, and going on car rides. He does like to be familiar with his environment to feel comfortable, due to being blind in both eyes. Bernard would do well in a home with kids, but he does prefer a low-energy home. He would do well in a home with other dogs and cats, but he needs to really get to know them before he's comfortable being in the same space.To apply for this pet on Adopets, click the Adopt Me button below their profile picture.

Story
*Name: Gili *Age: 7.5 years old *Current Weight: 50 lbs  *Adoption fee: $400 Meet Gili, a 7.5-year-old rescue from Bali with a gentle spirit and an independent, loving nature. She’s looking for a calm, understanding home where she can feel safe and truly at ease. Gili is low-maintenance and enjoys spending her days roaming the yard, soaking up the sun, and relaxing around the house. She’s fully house-trained, doesn’t use a crate, loves neighborhood walks, and occasionally gets happy zoomies in the backyard. While Gili often chooses her own sleeping spot, she loves coming in for morning cuddles—especially gentle ear and chest rubs while she sweetly licks your hand. Gili is a devoted companion who likes to stay close and will follow her people from room to room for comfort. During summer storms, she can be anxious and seeks extra closeness, sometimes cuddling under blankets. Gili can be cautious with strangers and sudden movements so she would do best in a home without young children. She prefers to be the only pet and thrives in a peaceful, predictable environment. With adults who love her for who she is, Gili is affectionate, loyal, and deeply devoted in her own quiet way. She has so much love to give and will be a wonderful companion!  To apply to adopt, fill out an application at https://snarrnortheast.org/adopt/ PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR FAQs  ##2634318##

Story
Hi my name is Keiko. I will be 9 yrs old in July, 2026. I am 100% pure breed American Standard Akita. As us Akitas I am very independent. I have lived with my human Dad and doggie dad since I was born. I've never been around any small humans, (kids). I need a new home with a yard and fence since my Dad is moving out of the country and I can't go. I like people generally, but like all Akitas, I really don't care for other animals. I am completely house trained and very clean. I'd like a new home with parents that have owned other large breed dogs, any past Akita ownership is a big plus, because you know....we are special dogs. I will always be loyal and respect you, as long as you treat me the same. If you love me I will definitely love you, but we don't need a lot of hands on affection. I will always be their for you, sleeping next to your bed, on the floor, if you need me. I would say my biggest fault is I am possessive of my bones and stuff, but I will also respect your stuff.

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 an 11 month old Akita who found himself in rescue when his senior owners were no longer able to care for him. He's 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 (don't blame him tbh) 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. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get a confirmation. 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
Hi my name is Loki. I am hoping to find my new forever home! I suffered a tremendous loss when my human mom passed away after a brief battle with cancer. I am being fostered so I didn't end up in a shelter. About me: I am a chocolate lab mix (probably a little shepherd/husky). I do have a double coat. I can be a lap dog at times, I walk well using a gentle leader, I'm great in the car, crate trained, have no separation anxiety, I enjoy playing in water on warm days and daily long walks where I love to randomly plop and roll in the grass. I'm told I'm a little goofy and also very handsome. I am also very well trained but my foster mom will offer my new forever person training. I would prefer to be an only pet in the house. Absolutely NO cats. An experienced big dog owner would be ideal for me but anyone interested in me please reach out!!! I do need an active person so we can enjoy eachothers company on daily walks. Can't wait to find my new forever person/people!
