Story
🌙💙Meet Teddy Oliver Moon (a.k.a. Ollie)!🌙💙 Teddy is a 90-pound bundle of love with the biggest head and the biggest heart you’ll ever meet. This gorgeous tricolor boy is playful, goofy, and so excited to show you just how happy he is, especially when toys are involved! His foster family loves him so much that everyone wanted to name him, so now he proudly goes by Teddy Oliver "Ollie" Moon because one name just isn’t enough for a dog this special. Teddy’s story hasn’t been easy. He was found tied up with another dog and sadly ended up on the euthanasia list at the shelter. His smaller companion was rescued first, and Teddy nearly lost his chance but thankfully, he’s now safe in a wonderful foster home where his true personality is shining through. Teddy is housebroken, crate-trained, good on walks, and great with other dogs. He’s friendly, affectionate, and always ready for fun. Because he’s a big, bouncy boy who can be a little jumpy when excited, we’re looking for an experienced home with older kids (just due to his size). We’ve seen no signs of aggression just lots of joy, energy, and love. This sweet, special boy deserves the forever family who will give him the second chance he almost didn’t get. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, goofy best friend who will fill your home with love and laughter, Teddy Oliver "Ollie" Moon! is your guy. 🐾 Reach out to learn more!

King might just be your perfect match. This soft, short, grey gentleman is about 6–8 years old and has truly mastered the art of lounging. His favorite pastime? Flattening himself like a little pancake as close to you as possible, preferably on top of you if you’re open to it! King may be deaf in one ear, but that doesn’t stop him from tuning in when it counts (especially if there’s food or the rustle of a leash involved). He’s got selective hearing down to a science and makes it work in the most charming way. He’s gentle and easygoing with other dogs, always eager to greet them on walks, and doesn’t pay much attention to smaller animals you might pass along the way. Despite his mostly mellow nature, he’ll surprise you with the cutest zoomies when excitement strikes, usually around mealtime or the promise of an outdoor adventure. King’s tiny little legs and signature sprawl are just part of his unique charm, but what really melts hearts is his love for a soft comfort blanket. He’ll carry it with him, curl up on it, and even suck on it like a little baby, it’s his happy place. If you’re ready to share your home (and your heart) with a sweet, soulful snuggler who will bring you calm, cuddles, and the occasional joy-sprint, King is ready for his home.

Story
Introducing our sweet senior girl, Eve! 🐾 Eve may be a senior, but she's got a heart full of love and energy to share with an active family. She's a chunky bundle of joy who's on a mission to find her forever home with a loving family. Here's a little bit about her and what she's looking for: 🐾 Home Recommendation: Eve is looking for an active family who can keep up with her enthusiasm for life. A fenced yard would be ideal for her so she can stretch her legs and enjoy the outdoors. Eve loves her daily walkies, which not only help her stay in shape but also give her the chance to explore the world around her. She's quite the explorer and has been known to hop a fence in her quest for adventure! 👶 Kids: Nanny Evie, as we affectionately call her, is a gentle giant when it comes to children. Her "fat rolls" might knock them down, but don't worry; she'll shower them with love and affection as soon as they hit the ground. Eve hasn't shown any toy or bone guarding tendencies, but it's a good practice to reserve those activities for crate or alone time, just to be safe. 🏠 Crate/Potty Training: Eve is a model of perfection when it comes to crate and potty training. Since her intake, she's been impeccably clean and well-behaved. You won't have to worry about accidents with this girl! She's also a fantastic travel companion and enjoys car rides. 🐕 Leash: Eve is a strong walker who's getting better with each passing day. While she knows the "sit" command, she has a bit of an "ants in her pants" situation and doesn't stay put for long. Her excitement is contagious, and she's always wiggling with joy. She might be vocal when she wants your attention, doing a happy dance and a little dog whine that says, "Look at me!" She thrives on positive praise and attention. Eve is a special senior looking for a family who will appreciate her zest for life and shower her with the love and attention she craves. If you're an active family with a fenced yard and a lot of love to give, Eve could be the perfect addition to your home. Come meet her and let her charm her way into your heart! 🐶❤️ #AdoptEve #SeniorLove #ForeverHome Apply to adopt a www.brasscityrescue.org

Story
Meet Potato - the adorable and affectionate American Staffordshire Terrier who will melt your heart with just one glance. This precious girl may have a simple name, but she is anything but ordinary. Just like her namesake, Potato is sweet, loyal, and full of warmth. And now, she's patiently waiting for her forever family to take her home and shower her with all the love she deserves. Potato's journey began as a stray, wandering the streets alone. She was timid, nervous, and it took some time for her to open up to the shelter staff. But with patience and love, she quickly became like velcro - sticking close to her newfound friends and following them wherever they went. Her transformation was truly remarkable, and she has shown us that with the right love and care, anything is possible. At just 2 years old, Potato is still a young pup with a lifetime of love to give. She weighs 47 pounds, making her the perfect size for cuddling on the couch or going for long walks in the park. As an energetic and playful girl, she would thrive in a home with an active lifestyle. But what makes Potato really unique is though she takes a while to warm up to new people. Once she trusts you, she will be your constant companion, your best friend, and your loyal sidekick. Potato's ideal home would be with someone who can spoil her and give her all the love and attention she craves. She would do best in a home with no young children, but teens or older would be just fine. She also loves the company of other dogs, so a furry sibling would be a bonus for her. And although she may be a bit shy at first, she is a people pleaser and will do anything to make her family happy. So if you're searching for a devoted and intelligent companion who will fill your life with love and warmth, look no further than Potato. She may have taken a while to warm up to us, but we can assure you, it will be worth the wait. Come meet Potato today and see for yourself why she's the perfect addition to any loving home. Don't wait, this special girl won't be around for long. Adopt Potato and watch your heart grow with love. www.brasscityrescue.org

Story
This is "Goldie". Goldie is about 90% an English Bulldog and the rest maybe American Bully. She has all the characters of an English Bulldog. Goldie is about 5 years and 3 months old and weighs about 46 pounds. Goldie comes to us with a sad story. Goldie and 2 other dogs (not related) were left behind in an apartment because their owners had no means to take care of them any longer. Someone did take the dogs from the apartment but had no place of his own to go with them. So he was desperate to find a place for these dogs. This is where we came in. We took Goldie. The other 2 dogs were taken by another rescue. All 3 dogs were not starving and they were in good health. Goldie was a little confused at first, understandably so. She is doing much better. Goldie is a sweet dog and she even looks sweet! She is calm, she sits when told and she gives her paw when asked. Goldie is a very good dog. In fact, Goldie is a great dog! Goldie gets along with other dogs and it looks like she gets along with cats. In Goldie's new home, children must be 14 years old or older. You MUST own your own home. You MUST own your own condo. Absolutely no apartments. Goldie came to us already spayed. She went to our veterinarian and she got her shots and tested negative for heartworm. To adopt from us, you MUST have a veterinarian reference. We will not place any animal without a veterinarian reference. We get a veterinarian reference from your veterinarian which is a history of medical care administered by your veterinarian to your present or previous pet or pets. Please do not contact us if you cannot abide by our adoption rules. The adoption fee for Goldie is $100.00 if you are the perfect family with an excellent veterinarian reference. No credit cards. If you are interested in Goldie, please email us at feline55keeper@gmail.com. You can meet Goldie on Saturday at Petco located at 201 Union Street in Waterbury during our adoption hours from 12:00 to 3:00. Goldie will be looking for you! IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE STRESS THAT IN ORDER TO ADOPT FROM US, YOU MUST HAVE A VETERINARIAN REFERENCE...NO EXCEPTIONS !
