Dogs Currently Available for Adoption

Howie
Beagle
Male, 12-ish years

Howie is about as calm and easy-going as a dog can be. Never in a rush for anything, he lollygags along, enjoying the fresh air and companionship of the volunteers. And if you sit down and offer your lap for snuggling, he'll double his pace to a meander, climb into your lap, and sack-out. Despite his age, we rescued this old guy because he has so many wonderful qualities, and because we are certain that he still has the ability, and deserves the opportunity, to provide companionship and company. Everyone who meets him is immediately drawn to his affectionate, loving demeanor, and he will be a great companion for someone who needs a low-energy, affectionate buddy. Inquiries concerning Howie may be made to mediaschlep@comcast.net or by calling 860-569-0722.

Fletcher

English Setter

Neutered male

2-Years

This handsome fellow is a perfect gentleman. Despite his youth and energy, he walks the leash gently and cooperatively, and exudes calm, positive energy. While he is spry and youthful, he is calm and gentle, and not all jumpy and wild. He gets along great with the other dogs, but it's the company of our volunteers that he seeks the most. Setters are known to be great family dogs, and Fletcher is no exception. He will thrive in a situation where he can be part of the family.

Inquiries concerning Fletcher may be made to mediaschlep@comcast.net or by calling 860-569-0722.

Shirley Girl
Pit Bull Mix
2-ish Years
Spayed Female

This lovely lady won the hearts of our volunteers almost instantly. Beneath her tough appearance is a calm, gentle mush. She's very affectionate and loves to snuggle. While the other dogs in the kennel are bouncing off their walls, Shirley nests quietly in her pen until it is her turn to walk. She likes her walks like any other dog, and although she is strong, she walks well on the leash and truly wants to please. She is housebroken and well-mannered (not jumpy and crazy), and really enjoys the companionship of people. She greets our volunteers with enthusiastic tail-wagging and will kiss our faces until we need to come up for air!

Inquiries concerning Shirley may be made to mediaschlep@comcast.net or by calling 860-569-0722.

Sandy

Although she's obviously running out of patience while we take pictures of her, afraid they will seriously cut into her exploring the neighborhood time, Sandy is a sweet, bubbly, charming, young Chihuahua-mix who loves humans and canines alike. She's a great walking buddy, cuddling buddy, and let's go bye-bye in the car buddy. Around a year old and 12-ish pounds, she's the type you fall in love with at first sight. She is unnerved by active children, however, so we will only place her in homes where children are 10+. She will also climb up and over chain link fences, so fenced yards must be stockade construction. If interested in meeting or finding out more about Sandy, please contact Berwoman@comcast.net or 860-569-0722.

Macy

Lab/Sharpei Cross

Spayed Female, 5-years

Macy is a high-spirited girl with an incredible zest and energy for life. She loves physical activity, and her favorite sports are fetch, swimming, and anything that involves BOTH! She is a fun-loving, free-soul who connects well to and loves the people she knows. Macy is superbly-trained, responsive, and intelligent, and responds on a dime to her commands. But she is sometimes distracted by the world around her, and her playful, mischievous spirit sometimes gets her into trouble (that's the Lab-side of her). As such, she needs someone with dog experience, that can keep her on her toes and best behavior. Her ideal home will have a fenced yard (for playing fetch) and would be near to a body of water (also for fetch). Inquiries concerning Macy may be made to mediaschlep@comcast.net or by calling 860-569-0722.

Mathilda

Take a look at that smile, or those ears - either way you have to
smile. Mathilda is a 3-ish year old Jack Russell mix, a fun loving and
very active little girl. Although Mathilda is very sweet toward
humans, she really prefers having all the attention to herself, so a
dog-less home would be best for her. She would be happiest in a home
where children are at least 10 years of age.

If interested in meeting or finding out more about Mathilda, please contact Berwoman@comcast.net or 860-569-0722. .
