Brook, a young adult female shepherd. She is spayed and a bundle of energy, very good with people and some dogs. Her level of energy, coupled with her size (70 pounds) would require good supervision with children. Nonetheless, Brook has a sweet disposition and, despite having been abandoned, would be a wonderful addition to a family willing to spend some time in welcoming this lady into their home.

Box Car Willie is a middle age + male Terrier mix. He is a pretty calm guy and gets along with cats. He probably would do well with children with the proper supervision just as long as it is understood that he is well past his puppy days. He is housebroken and just loves petting.

Dante, a 3 year old neutered Pit Bull. He is black with a strikingly beautiful white chest. All four paws are also white. This very handsome guy weighs 72 pounds. He is a powerful dog but also easy to handle. He likes people, other dogs, and would do well with children. He seems eager to please and his young age makes him an ideal candidate to learn whatever new things a new owner would like to teach him. His short haired coat makes him easy to care for and nicely displays his well developed body.

Winston a 4-year-old Jack Russell-mix, shows signs of being abused. He can be a bit hand-shy but we've been working with him. Once he becomes attached to someone, though, he is an absolute sweetheart. He loves to go for walks--so much so that he's lost quite a few extra pounds since he's been at the shelter. 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.

Russell is a 5-6 year old boxer-mix who is a lot like an old man, set in his ways. He came to the pound filthy and scared, but has made quite a turn-around since he arrived. It takes him some time to warm up to new
people--and he'd prefer to be the only pet--but once he's settled in he's a great dog to be around. He'd make a perfect sidekick for a single guy or gal, who likes an athletic dog without an overwhelming energy level. But like an old man, he can sometimes be a bit stubborn and needs someone willing to let him know who is boss when it's necessary. Though he's a little gray in the beard, he has plenty of life left in him, and our volunteers say he makes a great jogging partner.

Max is a 2-3-year old Shar Pei. He came to the pound with an extremely irritating eye-condition which made it difficult for him to see, and very wary around strangers. He recently had surgery to correct the problem which seems to have put a bit of extra pep in his step. As he adjusts to life with better vision and less pain, Max likes to take long walks and play with his
toys. Like may in his breed Max tends to be independent. In other words, he's never going to be an outgoing lab-type dog, but once he's comfortable with a person he likes nothing more than to put his head in his or her lap and nap. He'll make a great companion for someone looking for a loyal, low-key friend.

Taz is a 2-3 year old male Pitbull. Taz is a great dog that enjoys being a loyal sidekick and buddy. Taz is a strong dog that would require an owner that can handle this young boy. He would not do well in a home with small dogs. He loves to run and jump but he can be as lazy as your family after a Thanksgiving feast. This is the perfect dog for someone looking to go for a nice walk and play ball or read a good book with Taz curled up with you.

Lilly is a 6 1/2 year old female lab/sheperd mix, we got her from DAWS in Bethel about 6 years ago. Lilly is a great dog and we are heartbroken to give her up. Unfortunately, she has had an incident with our 2 1/2 year old son Henri,(she nipped him) over a stuffed toy (which was actually my son's). We also have a 15 year old male cockerspaniel with whom she has lived since we got her and there has never been any incident with him. Lilly has been very protective of my son since he was born and my son loves her...he is a bit rough with her which she takes...Henri has jumped on her, rolled over on her, pulled and tugged at her and Lilly has done nothing....however, over stuffed toys, she is a bit unpredictable...unfortunately, Henri is too young to understand that he cannot take toys from Lilly, especially his toys and Lilly, well, we don't speak dog.
Lilly is crate trained, house trained (part camel), she is independent, she loves walks, playing ball, she will cuddle and she will like alone time as well. She is very smart. SHe is good with other dogs and she is good with other children (older children). If Henri was a bit older we would keep her. She likes to play with the neighborhood dogs and is friendly to all. Attached are 2 photos. Please let me know if you are interested via e-mail or call me at home, if no answer, please leave a message and I will get back to you. 203-364-0252.

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.
