Theo is a 2-3 year old neutered male pitbull. He is black and white and has very handsome markings. Theo was found on the side of the road this winter with a leash attached to his neck and no owner to be found. Theo had most likely been abandoned. Scared and cold, Theo was brought to the dog pound and is now able to be adopted to a warm, loving, and responsible owner. As expected, he is still nervous around people and very timid.

Winston is a male Jack Russell Terrier. He has been evaluated by a trainer who has determined that Winston has been abused. Sadly, he does not react well with strangers and is very defensive. He is a little overweight but loves to run around and play with his toys. Winston needs an understanding, patient owner with a gentle hand.

Russell is a dog with limitless energy and when he's taken for a walk, he acts like a true gentleman. However, Russell is a very strong dog and will most likely require a strong leader and owner. Russell would not be suitable in a home with cats.

Scarlett is a two year old female hound. She closely resembles
what is known as a Treeing Walker. Scarlett is a very sweet dog that
absolutely loves to sit by your side and would not mind if you pet her all
day. She is a little frightened of loud noises and gets startled quickly.
She has gone through early stages of basic training and is a fast learner.

Ginger is a two year old female pit bull. Ginger is an adorable
little dog that loves her toys and her belly rubs. She is a wonderful
little girl that craves attention. She would do well with adults and older
children. Ginger will provide a lot of fun and laughs for the people that
adopt her and give her a chance.

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.
