Canine Advocates of Newtown, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, volunteer group, raises
funds for spaying/neutering, rabies, and DHLPP shots for all of the Newtown
Pound cats and dogs.
CAN also provides a free training DVD and one free individual training
lesson from Beyond Obedience Dog Training to adopters.
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.

Larryis
a 3-4 year old neutered black lab mix. Larry is full of energy and loves
to go for long walks and loves to lie in the sun. Larry does well with
some dogs but is very large and excitable, so he may not be appropriate
for a household with small children.

Sasha
is a 2-3 year old spayed terrier mix. Sasha does
not do well with men and would be best suited in a home with a female
owner. When Sasha does bond with someone she really opens up and shows
she can be a fantastic friend. She loves to be brushed and can grow very
attached if someone shows her some affection.

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.
