Avon Adoptions for Dogs

Avon Adoptions is a small non-profit group that works to save the lives of great dogs who are in clear danger of being euthanized if they remain in their present situation. If space permits, we also take in dogs whose owners can no longer keep them. Priority is given to dogs coming from pounds and shelters. While we occasionally have puppies, our focus tends to be on adult dogs. Because we are a small group with only 2 foster homes, we limit the number of dogs with whom we work. Dogs are fostered as family members in our homes, which allows us to assess their personalities, complete medical care, and begin basic training. We do not keep foster dogs in a kennel or shelter type situation, so we only invite families in to meet a dog after they have been pre-screened and determined to potentially be the best match for the pup available. If you are interested in a dog we are currently fostering, please read about "Our Adoption Process" below and then follow the instructions noted for the particular dog. We welcome all inquires, but in placing dogs and pups, we give strong preference to qualified local families and individuals (those in CT or very near CT). Please note that we also coordinate Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club Rescue (Northeast Region), the rescue group for this breed in the Northeast.
