Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Connecticut

Milo is a 4 year old mini Australian shepherd he loves to cuddle and play. He gets along with other dogs. His only issues are pulling on the leash and barking. He's completely house trained.

Seriously, this tiny little girl has mastered the art of looking at you with those big, soulful eyes like you're the most important person in the entire world. Then, just when you think Gigi Grace couldn't possibly get any cuter, she'll look up at you with what honestly looks like the sweetest little smile. It's game over after that. You're in love and you don't even realize it until she's already stolen your heart. Gigi is the definition of a cuddle bug. She'd happily choose being snuggled up with her people over just about anything else. While she certainly enjoys toys and playing like every puppy should, she's much more interested in being wherever you are. Her foster lovingly calls her "momma's little girl," and it couldn't describe her any better. If she has the choice between another toy or curling up in your lap, she's picking your lap every single time. Watch her video and try not to smile the entire time: https://youtu.be/ew1vfXhE6WM?si=BvYef27KOvAllNUr This precious little girl is Gigi. She is approximately 4 months old and currently weighs just 7 lbs. She is absolutely teeny tiny! We believe she may be an Australian Shepherd/Lab mix, but with rescue it's always a mystery and we can never guarantee breed. Whatever her breed mix may be, one thing is certain... she's absolutely adorable. One of our favorite things about Gigi is how naturally gentle and loving she is. She has such an innocent little personality that just makes you want to protect her. She enjoys playing with toys and joining in on puppy fun, but she's definitely more of a people puppy than anything else. She lights up when she's getting attention, happily melts into your lap for cuddles, and seems perfectly content just being close to the people she loves. Gigi is currently thriving in a foster home where she's beginning to explore the world through play, naps, mealtime routines, and gentle socialization. She's fostered alongside her brothers who are nearly twice her size, and honestly... watching this teeny tiny little girl keep up with them is about as adorable as it sounds. She's also living with two adult dogs, including a feisty little 9-pound Chiweenie who isn't afraid to remind the puppies who's in charge and a large adult female dog who has happily stepped into the role of honorary puppy mom. Gigi has done wonderfully with everyone. Like any young puppy, Gigi is still learning all the important puppy skills. She's already crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night in her kennel like a little champion. Potty training is still a work in progress, but she's already catching on quickly. All she needs is a family willing to continue providing the routine, structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement every puppy needs while they learn. One of the best parts about bringing home a puppy is getting to experience all of life's firsts together. Her first neighborhood walk. Her first camping trip. Her first birthday. Watching her discover the world one little adventure at a time and grow into the amazing dog she's meant to become is something you'll never forget. Like every puppy, Gigi will need a family that's ready to invest the time, patience, and consistency puppyhood requires. Continued socialization, training, routine, boundaries, and positive experiences will help her grow into a confident, well-rounded adult dog. We also require adopters to begin crate training immediately after bringing their puppy home, as it helps with potty training, building confidence, creating healthy routines, and raising a well-rounded adult dog. If your dream puppy is tiny enough to fit perfectly in your lap, sweet enough to melt your heart, and affectionate enough to make every day feel a little brighter, Gigi might just be your perfect match. Just be prepared... once she looks at you with those heart-melting eyes and that adorable little smile, saying no isn't really an option anymore. We are willing to test Gigi Grace with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen!

Duke is a sweet, 3 month old puppy that's ready for a home of his own. He is social & fun and will make a wonderful new family member. More/ updated pics coming very soon! This puppy Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies 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! More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the 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.

As a Rescue do not euthanize dogs but dogs that are listed as URGENT are still waiting to be saved from animal control and they do euthanise. We can only save them when space is available or have an adopter. Bourbon is a 2 year old Australian shepherd He weighs 67lbs He’s a happy positive go with the flow dog that would be a great family dog, he knows his name already, has great recall and is house and crate trained. Great with other dogs but wasn’t keen when the cat slapped him, Hes a solid 5/10 for energy but can go to a 7/10 He’s clearly had a family before but now he needs a new one!

This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)
