DUE TO HIGH VOLUME OF INTEREST, NO EMAIL INQUIRIES WILL BE ANSWERED THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS IS SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION EMBEDDED IN THE LISTING DESCRIPTION IF YOU READ THROUGH. WE DO NOT ACCEPT ADOPT-A-PET APPLICATIONS. WE CANNOT ANSWER EMAILS ASKING ABOUT A DOG'S AVAILABILITY. IF IT IS LISTED WITHOUT THE WORD "PENDING" IT MEANS IT IS AVAILABLE. IF YOU HAVE AOL or YAHOO PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM FILE FOR OUR RESPONSE Check out ALL of our listings at this link!! DUE TO HIGH VOLUME OF INTEREST, NO EMAIL INQUIRIES WILL BE ANSWERED Please build in extra time when walking Phoebe because she is so adorable you are bound to be stopped everywhere you go! Could she possibly be any cuter?!! Phoebe is one of the cutest fluffballs we've ever seen, and one lucky family is going to get to call her their own! And she's as sweet on the inside as she is beautiful on the outside!! She's a party girl - - her middle name is FUN!! She loves to play, she loves squeaky toys (even though they're bigger than she is!!) and she'll melt your heart when she gives her little butterfly kisses! Phoebe was born 12.12.19 making her almost 4 months old, she weighs barely 4 pounds and she's a very healthy girl. We have no idea what her true mix is, we think she'll stay under 10 pounds fully grown, and we have no idea if she is hypo-allergenic, but we know you'll wish there were more of her!! If you can promise Penelope a life of spoiling and love, please visit www.pinkshelter.org for more information about the adoption process or click here for our online application. Full vetting, microchip and spay included in her $850 adoption fee. Transport fee is additional $160. IF YOU HAVE AOL or YAHOO PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM FILE FOR OUR RESPONSE

Robbi's Rescue Dog If interested, call Robbi Lee Roy at 860-816-0176 Located in Windham CT My name is Casanova and I'm a 3 yr old male Shih Tzu/Poodle mix . I weigh 15 lbs. I am neutered and up to date on my shots. I was 4DX tested and was negative. I am house and crate trained. I love to be held and I love lots of hugs. They tell me I'm super, super sweet! If your looking for a lap dog, I'm the one for you. I am also hypoallergenic too! I have hair not fur, so I will need grooming every 6-8 weeks. I prefer to be an only dog because I don't like to share my food with other dogs, humans okay, but no dogs! I am not sure about cats because I've never been around them, but I like kids. I was a owner surrender.

Story
George was found on the street in a big city. He is a tubby, sweet, older guy. Deaf and slightly sight impaired - doesn't slow him down. Follows you everywhere in and outside of the house. Great with dogs and can't imagine him not making everybody his new friend. His tail is always waging. He is so darn happy, he makes you smile every time you look at him. Loves to go for walks. And oh how he loves his belly rubs. Please contact his foster Mom at FixFidoNow@gmail.com George is located in Sharon, CT.

Story
This is Charlie. He is approximately 11 years old, 17 1/2 pounds, neutered male. He is completely vetted. He is rabies and heartworm tested negative. He came to us in horrible condition from a high-volume shelter. He was found as a stray in New York City. He had stage 4/4 periodontal disease and with matting so severe, that he had to be anesthetized to be groomed. Now he is all shaved down and his teeth are all clean and he is ready to find his forever home. If you are an older couple or someone in a quiet home looking for a companion, Charlie is your boy. He is very, very attentive of his person and wants to be at your side always. He is a low energy very sweet boy. He is very polite with other dogs. Attached are before and after photos of Charlie. Please email pawrescued2016@gmail.com if you would like an application.
