Australian Kelpie puppies and dogs in Connecticut

Soft eyes, tender heart, and a little bit of baby bravery in progress. Stella is learning that the world is a safe and wonderful place. If you’ve been dreaming of a loyal shadow who just wants to grow up by your side, keep reading. Imagine a pup whose main goal in life is to be your most loyal shadow. Stella is just that! While she might start off a bit shy, watching her gain confidence is one of the most rewarding journeys you’ll ever take. Don’t miss her in action! Check out her adoption video below to see her sweet personality (and those adorable ears) for yourself. https://youtu.be/5ehK8u5zTuU Stella is the ultimate "hang out" dog. She isn’t going to demand a marathon every morning; instead, she’s content to be your quiet observer, wandering nearby while you garden or relaxing at your feet while you work. She has a "velcro" heart once she trusts you, she wants to be exactly where you are. She’s the kind of dog who finds magic in the simple moments of just being together. Stella is shaping up to be the ultimate adventure partner! Weighing in at 31 pounds, she’s a perfectly compact companion ready for road trips, hiking trails, and backyard zoomies. We suspect she’s a Cattle Dog mix, and while her exact DNA is a mystery, her "smarty pants" personality is undeniable. Like all our rescues, her breed is our best guess, but one thing is certain: her heart is 100% yours! In her foster home, Stella has been a polite houseguest. She is crate trained and easy going indoors. She’s looking for a home that understands slow and steady wins the race! Stella is a gentle soul who truly finds comfort in the company of other dogs. She isn't a high octane wrestler; instead, she’s a side by side explorer who loves to wander and discover the world alongside her canine pals at her own relaxed pace. She would do best paired with a low to medium energy companion. A calm mentor dog who isn't pushy or overwhelming would be the perfect partner to help her grow braver and more adventurous each day. Stella could also thrive as your solo girl, soaking up all your attention in a peaceful environment where she can truly blossom as the center of your world. Whether she’s quietly coexisting with a buddy or being your devoted sidekick, Stella’s respectful heart makes her a dream for a patient, loving home. Is Stella a fan of feline friends? We believe she’d be just fine with a cat, because of her gentle demeanor. We can arrange a kitty sleepover to test the waters and give everyone clarity and see if they’ll be best buds! Stella is a "soul dog" in the making, looking for a quiet corner of the world to call her own. Because she finds the world a bit overwhelming, she’s dreaming of a home with a private yard where she can explore at her own speed. Apartment life just isn't her style. There’s a quiet magic in watching a sensitive puppy find her footing, and for the patient family willing to guide her, the reward is a lifetime of unmatched loyalty. Stella is a journey that is absolutely worth taking. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

adoption donation : $499 weight 32 lbs Age 1 year Ginger is a beautiful, super friendly girl who loves everyone she meets, her tail never stops wagging!

Ginger doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body, she is all kisses, wiggles and wags! She loves other dogs and is gentle with children. Ginger is medium energy and loves to run around outside but when she’s home she likes to curl up with her toys or a bone or try to snuggle on her foster parents laps!

✨ Meet Snow White ✨ Once upon a time, Snow White was the devoted mom to seven adorable “dwarves.” After the whole family was rescued from being dumped on the side of the road, Snow lovingly raised her babies—and now that all of them have found homes, it’s finally Snow’s turn to shine! Snow White is a sweet, affectionate girl who truly enjoys human companionship. She may be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, her playful personality blossoms. When she gets excited, she’ll do joyful zoomies around the yard, ears flopping in the most endearing way—it’s impossible not to smile. She’s a fairly neat and well-mannered gal who does well in a kennel, so we think she’ll transition nicely into a home of her own. Snow loves attention, toys, and snacks, and she thrives with people who want to include her in their daily lives. An active home is a must—Snow is no couch potato and would love a family who enjoys playtime and outdoor fun. Snow would do best as the only pet in the home, as other dogs or cats can be a bit too stimulating for her. She’s happiest when she can soak up all the love and attention for herself. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion with a heart as big as her story, Snow White might just be your happily-ever-after. 💙 Snow White is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped.
