Story
Leela is the sweetest girl who loves to play and cuddle. She is crate trained and house trained. She joined our home May 2024 from her prior owner. Two weeks after bringing her home, signs showed she was losing her sight. The vet confirmed SARDS - Sudden Acute Retinal Degeneration Syndrome. We have confirmed that she cannot see anything - only small bits of light. Her sense of smell is deteriorating as well, so she really relies on her hearing for everything. She needs a home where the owner is home with her the majority of the time and where there are no other animals. She does not get along with any cats or dogs, and I believe that is due to the fact that she simply needs to defend herself since she cannot see.

Story
As a rescue, We 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. Meet OZZY, he is dog friendly, sweet and likes lots of pets. He’s just a little shy to start off with and then he warms right up and is super friendly. This boy wishes he had a whole on his own, with his own debt, his own truth, and his own human to love him. Adopt Ozzy.

Story
**Meet Dean — a Gentle, Shy Soul Looking for His Perfect Home (with Jackie!)** Dean is a very shy but incredibly sweet boy who just needs a little time and patience to show you his true heart. Once he bonds with you, he becomes your devoted shadow—quietly loyal, deeply affectionate, and happiest right by your side. Dean shares a special, unbreakable bond with his best friend Jackie, and the two of them must be adopted together. Their connection gives Dean confidence, comfort, and joy, and they truly thrive as a pair. Leash walks are one of Dean’s favorite things—he’s calm, easy to handle, and enjoys exploring the world at a gentle pace. However, he *can* jump a 4-foot fence, so he will need a secure yard with a taller fence or supervised outdoor time to keep him safe. Dean and Jackie are looking for a patient, loving home that will give them the time and reassurance they need to settle in. With understanding and consistency, Dean will blossom into the loyal, affectionate companion he’s meant to be. If you’re ready to open your heart to a sweet, sensitive boy and his best friend, Dean and Jackie are waiting to meet you.

Benny

Australian Shepherd Golden Retriever

Male, Young
West Suffield, CT
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Benny is an incredibly smart, eager to please, food motivated, high prey drive mix. Because of his strong natural herding instincts and high energy, he will thrive best in an environment with experienced owners who understand working breeds and can provide him with clear structure and mental stimulation. To ensure his success, Benny needs to be the only pet in the household, as he is not fit for a home with cats or other small animals. Dogs unknown. He would need slow introductions. He is deeply loved, but is being rehomed because his natural drives are a mismatch for a busy household with small kids and cats. If you have a calm, pet-free home and are looking for an intelligent, active companion for outdoor adventures and training, Benny will make a wonderful addition.

Story
We have made the impossible decision to start looking for a new home for our sweet, goofy Monty boy. With a baby on the way we are unable to give Monty the attention and training he needs. Monty is a 2 year old male border collie/black lab mix. 85 lbs. Neutered, up to date on vaccines.Monty will do best in a single dog home with adults and older teens only. He is good with other dogs but can be protective of toys and treats. He is very active and requires experienced dog owners as ongoing training will be necessary. He is potty trained, crate trained, and knows his basic commands (though, he is stubborn and does not always follow through). Monty enjoys being outside in any and all weather conditions, long (very long) walks, playing with other (big) dogs, snuggling up next to his humans, ear scratches, tearing apart stuffed toys to find the squeaker, and going on car rides. The main reason we are looking to re-home Monty is due to fear based re-activity and resource guarding.
