Story
Meet Trey! The perfectly pocket sized pittie whose only flaw is his inability to keep his tongue in his mouth. Don’t let Trey’s age fool you, this guy has plenty of energy and is ready to run straight into your heart. Trey is an adventurous, curious guy who’s also down to curl up on the couch for a nap. Trey loves every person and every dog he’s ever encountered and would appreciate being a part of a pack, especially of larger dogs he can chase around a yard and cuddle puddle with. He knows no strangers and his love knows no bounds. Trey has been through a lot over the years. In his original intake at FOR he was suffering from gunshot wounds and 2 broken legs. And yet, after that and his family relocating, he is still so trusting and gentle. You may see evidence of his hard past in the way he flinches when he doesn’t see your hand coming, but his healing is evident in how quickly he melts into the pets afterwards. Trey knows basic commands and is fully housetrained. He is around 60 lbs and believed to be around 9 years old. He is fully vaccinated, on monthly flea & tick prevention, and recently underwent treatment for heartworms. He is fostered in Huntsville, AL, and is available for meet & greets there, if adopted from outside the area his foster has agreed to travel up to 200 miles for transport at no charge to the adopter. Trey has not been tested with cats, and will only be placed in a home with adults and older children (no babies or toddlers).

Meet Libby Lou, she’s a stunning 2 year old, 39 lb velvety soft staffie mix. She’s an amazing young dog with so much love to give. Libby was adopted as a young puppy, she was very loved until life changed happened and her dad could no longer keep her. Libby has been in foster care, she is a little shy at first however when she decompresses she is the silliest happiest girl. Libby loves to run and chase balls (she doesn’t always bring the ball back)but she always gives you her best smile. Libby has a sense of humor that will keep you laughing. She enjoys snuggling in the couch and will follow you everywhere you. She’s a smart lady, she knows all of her commands and will show them off for a treat. Libby is good with children, we do suggest children over 8, as she can startle easily in a new environment. She is good with dogs her size or bigger, she loves to play and snuggle up to her doggie friends. Libby is crate and leash trained and house broken. She is an amazing dog whose heart was broken when she lost the only family she ever knew, she is looking for her new family to love and be loved.

Story
Mitzi was owner-surrendered and needed to be moved where she could thrive. This is where CPR comes into her life! Mitzi is the perfect-sized little girl that we believe is around 2.5 years old. She weighs approximately 48 pounds and is fully grown. She is housetrained and crate-trained. Mitzi needed a lot of TLC and is getting that in her foster home. She is shy at first. Once she gets to know you, she warms up nicely. She has even learned that it is ok to jump up on the couch and snuggle with her foster mommy and other doggies. This girl is very affectionate, and once she knows her person, she will be extremely grateful and lovable. She gets along with most other foster dogs at her foster home, but she is leery of small male dogs. She will play and run with the bigger female dogs, and she adores the puppies. A proper introduction is a must for Mitzi when meeting new furry friends for the first time. She would really be good living in a home where she is the only dog around, as she would love all the attention from her human! Mitzi loves to ride in the car and will take in all the sights with enjoyment. She has mastered walking on a leash and has done so well with it! All she needs to learn is that she will never be mistreated ever again. Some patience and TLC are all this girl needs!! Mitzi has a video of her playing with a puppy, and she loves her!! Visit the link to watch the video! https://youtube.com/shorts/vSmh_zmHv70 Another video of her riding in the car is at https://youtube.com/shorts/5IILulxoPE4 Mitzi 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 positive for heartworms, but has received her treatment and is ready to travel to her forever home. 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 picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, adopted at an event, or foster home.

He’s got that classic Boxer personality—goofy, loving, playful, expressive, and always ready to make you laugh. Tank lives for human attention, happy moments, and being part of the action. Despite his bright spirit, Tank hasn’t had it easy. He was heartbreakingly abandoned inside a home when his owner moved out, then eventually dumped at animal control. Yet somehow, he still greets people with trust, sweetness, and that signature Boxer enthusiasm. He’s proof that dogs can be incredibly resilient and unbelievably loving. Tank does great with other dogs and has even lived with cats, making him a wonderful fit for many types of families. He’s eager to belong to someone who will finally give him the stability, kindness, and love he has always deserved. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with boundless love and a silly streak that will brighten every day, Tank is ready to be your guy. Adoption application: www.wtfarmtn.org

Story
Meet Cocoa 🤎 4 years old | Small but mighty bully mix Cocoa’s heart has been through a lot. She recently lost her person — the human she loved and trusted — and now she’s trying to find her place in a world that suddenly feels unfamiliar and loud. Through it all, she’s remained brave, loyal, and full of love, just waiting for someone new to call her own. Cocoa is the perfect mix of strength and sweetness. She’s house trained, crate trained, and walks beautifully on a leash. She adores people and forms deep bonds — the kind where she’ll look up at you with eyes that say, “You’re my person now.” Because of all the change she’s been through, Cocoa might do best as the only dog in her home or with an experienced family who can help her navigate relationships with other dogs. What she really wants most, though, is stability, patience, and love — the kind of home where she can finally exhale and feel safe again. Cocoa may be small, but her heart is huge. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will return your kindness tenfold, she’s waiting to meet you. 🐾 💌 Send in your adoption application for Cocoa at www.wtfarmtn.org
