Story
This beauty also has some dalmation in him and I guess that accounts for some of the black spots on him. His DNA was done and the results were not real surprising. He was very scared when he came in to our local Animal Control..kill shelter. Our group saved him, took care of his medical, he competed heartworm treatment. THen he was ready to give him some exposure to new things...he was very timid of new experiences. He is doing better and ready for a home.He is still dog reactive so we are working on that. He needs someone who is patient, will take him for walks , play with toys with him ( he plays on his own, however). He is very affectionate.

Story
There are six adorable puppies in our Queenie litter of 10 week old orphans that have just joined our Connecticut Rescue. All the pups in this litter have gentle temperaments and playful, friendly personalities. Despite the chaotic shelter process, these pups have weathered the storm and show no obvious signs of trauma or neglect.  This listing is for the four females, Rosalind, Belladonna, Saffire and Oriola Queen. It appears that the pups’ owner unwittingly facilitated an accidental breeding of her unaltered adult housemates, and then was overwhelmed by puppy love. She offloaded the puppies to a high kill rural North Carolina Shelter, and we were able to transport them to our place in Canterbury, Connecticut.  We have had the puppies DNA tested, and they are a diverse mix of breeds: Australian Cattle Dog, Beagle and Chihuahua, along with an inexplicable dose of Poodle.  The weight range is projected at 20 to 30 pounds. Their working dog roots suggest that adopters should be prepared to provide a lot of exercise and mental stimulation.  Any of these pups would be an excellent choice for a savvy Working Breed adopter, willing to commit to ongoing training and socialization. They have taken well to basic puppy Positive Reinforcement training techniques, and seems to enjoy the learning process. We seek adopters willing to raise them as Canine Good Citizens.  Any of these pups could easily join a multi-dog home with older, playful dogs tolerant of puppy energy. They would thrive with an active single, couple or family with older kids who have been taught to be gentle with young dogs.  All puppies are in excellent health, fully vaccinated and dewormed.  If you are interested in one of our Queenie litter mates, please write to Angelsfrgod@aol.com or call/text Denise at 860-908-9738 for more info.

Marbles

Australian Cattle Dog Labrador Retriever

Male, 10 yrs 4 mos
Canterbury, CT
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Our Marbles is a comical character who has had some string of bad luck! He was returned to us during COVID when his adopter became caregiver for an elderly parent, but his origins are Southern. Originally, Marbles came to us first from a Virginia rescue whose volunteers were smitten with his striking appearance, and beautiful merle colors. Marbles seems to be an Australian Cattle Dog, but head shape and floppy ears suggests some Lab DNA. After his original owners gave up on him, Marbles was left in a Virginia shelter without a strong adoption program. His options became tragically limited, so we invited him to Connecticut. Clearly, Marbles is is a double dose of working dog, so he definitely needs an active lifestyle and a job. Herders are hardwired to work, and if his adopters do not give Marbles a job, he will practice his herding skills within the household. A bored, frustrated herding dog is a recipe for mayhem. Exercise and obedience training are the keys to managing the Herding breeds. seven years old, Marbles is a high-energy dog, who would make a great running, walking or hiking partner. He's built for speed, but will adjust his pace to suit his handler. He needs at least three brisk daily leash walks, in addition to focused playtime. Adopters can increase the intensity of a walk by outfitting Marbles with a dog backpack, loaded with water, and a collapsable bowl. At each rest and water stop, Marbles will feel like he's got a job and will be quite proud of himself. Obedience training is essential to meeting the needs of a Herding dog. Marbles already knows all of his basic obedience commands, and has passed many of his Canine Good Citizenship tests. Structure and obedience work go a long way in providing him the mental and physical challenges that he needs. Adopters should be prepared to troubleshoot things that come up with Marbles, as he transitions to a new environment. Marbles is best suited to an active adult home, with a dog savvy single or couple, who have the time and energy to give him his daily exercise. Tranquility and calm suit Marbles best. In a chaotic, hectic environment he becomes anxious and demonstrates herding behavior in order to maintain social order. In a calm environment, Marbles relaxes and enjoys quiet time with his people. Kids and cats may provide too much stimulation, but Marbles could easily join a multi-dog home, with an energy compatible, well socialized dog. Marbles has good house manners and is house trained and crate trained, although adopters should expect to troubleshoot a few accidents during his transition to a new routine. He is in excellent health, has been neutered. He has had routine health screenings and vaccinations.  If you are interested in Marbles, please write to Angelsfrmgod@gmail.com or call/text Denise at 860-908-9738 for more info.
