Bubba - an American Bulldog, male, and weighing about 65 pounds or so. He is mostly white but with brown on both sides of the face and ears giving him a sort of "Our Gang" dog look. He is about 5 years old. Bubba has had a tough life so far. The care that he has received thus far has not matched the warm and gentle spirit living in this boy's big heart. He is lame in his right hind leg but that doesn't stop him from getting around and nuzzling that big head up against you. The good news is that Bubba will have ACL surgery soon and hopefully restore some function to that leg. He is very friendly and gentle. He could fit in well in just about any family. It is quite easy to look at Bubba and feel sympathy but our guess is that he would rather have a safe and warm spot in your home. He offers unconditional live in return. Bubba can be seen at the Brian J. Silverlieb Animal Care and Control Center located on Old Farm Road, Newtown, CT  (203) 426-6900.

Buddy - an absolutely magnificent Doberman Pinscher, male and mostly two tone brown color. He is every bit as gentle as he is big. He's very good with people and loves going for walks. The loyalty of this breed speaks for itself so it would be easy to imagine Buddy as your devoted lifelong companion. His weight is a bit more than it should be - about 125 pounds. But, just give him a reasonable diet and exercise and he will readily shed 15 pounds or so in no time at all. He might not be a suitable candidate for families with small children simply because of his size. Otherwise, he is good to go! His commanding presence just seems to say "Hey - look at me"! It is an absolute guarantee that you will be noticed when walking Buddy. He can be seen at the Brian J. Silverlieb Animal Care and Control Center located on Old Farm Road, Newtown, CT  (203) 426-6900.

Maddon - a male American Bull mix just over a year old. He is neutered with a beautiful black coat sporting a white patch on his chest. He had been found abandoned and roaming in Newtown. At first, Maddon was quite skittish but after just 3 weeks of training has settled down and shows unmistakable signs of keen intelligence and a strong desire to please. He has learned to walk well on a leash. His willingness to learn, young age, strength and vitality make him a super candidate for an early adoption. Don't wait too long if you think you might like to provide him with a forever home.

He can be seen at the Brian J. Silverlieb Animal Care and Control Center located on Old Farm Road, Newtown, CT. (203) 426-6900.

Denzel is a male whose lineage reflects the complex and wonderful character of America: a true Heinz variety whose background speaks of Labrador, Pit Bull, Boxer, and you name it! This guy has had a rough start - abandoned and found roaming the streets while still quite young and growing. Denzel figures to be less than a year old, possible 10 months or so. He has been at the shelter for only a short while and still has some things to learn. But he will, undoubtedly, progress rapidly owing to his native intelligence and vigor. He has the potential to be an outstanding companion. He is eager and very friendly.

Stop by and take a look at Denzel at the Brian J. Silverlieb Animal Care and Control Center located on Old Farm Road, Newtown, CT. (203) 426-6900.

Winston is a 4-year-old Jack Russell-mix who shows signs of being abused. He can be hand-shy but pound staff are teaching him to trust again. Once he becomes attached to someone, he is a bundle of love and an absolute sweetheart. He loves to go for walks, and is quite the high-energy little fellow! Winston would like a quiet home where he can get out for walks and be the center of your attention. He's the perfect size for an older person looking for a low-key companion. His history of abuse and the fear that he carries make him not a good choice for a home with young children.

Russell is a 5-6 year old boxer-mix who sometimes can be like an old man, set in his ways. It takes Russ some time to warm up to new people, and he would prefer to be the only pet. Once he bonds, he loves with all his heart. Though he is a little gray in the beard, Russ has plenty of life left in him, and our volunteers love to take him on his walks. Russell would like nothing more than to be by your side, and share your daily activities. He really asks very little except love, and maybe a nice bed to curl up on.

Dante is a 3 year old neutered Pit Bull. He is a handsome black dog with white markings. Dante weighs in at about 72 pounds. He is a powerful dog but can also be easy to handle. He is eager to please and his young age makes him an ideal candidate for training. He displays a willingness to learn new things and to make his trainer proud of him!
His shiny short haired coat makes him easy to care for. Dante has clipped ears which makes him look intimidating, but do not be fooled by that. He is a a sweetheart!

Gideon is a year old puppy who has a heart of gold. He also has a ton of energy so I would recommend a home that has a fenced in yard and maybe another friend for him to play with. He is super friendly and is a very easy going dog. He enjoys going to the dog park and going on long walks. He has been my best friend for a year and since I have moved I cannot take him with me. Gideon makes a wonderful companion and I would love to see him go to a family that would enjoy him with them. Gideon is a jumper so if you have little ones, he may not be the one for you. Gideon is also very strong and we are still working on leash manners. I have all his vet bills and information on hand that you will get with him. Also you will receive an extra large crate with him so when you leave he can stay in there. Gideon has passed obedience school, but still needs reminders here and there. Again, he is an amazing dog and I hope you'll learn to love him too.

This is Puma. He is 6 years old. His birthday is March 18. I need to find a good home for him, preferably with no children and with someone who is familiar with dalmatians. He was 1 of 11 puppies and he has a good heart. I have always had dogs with good temperments so I wasn't prepared to deal with a dog who needed more discipline. the vet says he has "fear aggression". When he gets afraid he reacts by nipping, he also growls, but doesn't bare his teeth, when he gets upset. He spent a week with a dal breeder while we were on vacation and he was fine with her. I have a 3 year old grand daughter who I am worried about, she has learned to open the gate into the room where he is. I have his mother and she has the temperment of a lab and is wonderful with my grand daughter. With the right owner, hopefully some of his mother's temperment can be found in him. Please call my home phone (203) 775 1495 or my cell (203) 512 3230.
