Say hello to Millie!   Millie is a beautiful, long-legged girl, and weighs about 13 pounds.  She is only about a year old.  Millie is very sweet and affectionate, and a bit vocal.  She barks when she’s happy to see you, and wags her tail at the same time.  She also grumbles at the other dogs who come to close to her chewies.  Because of her tendency to “resource guard,” we feel she would probably not be good with younger children.  Millie does a lot of growling when she’s playing, but will retrieve a toy and place it in your hand, so she can tug and growl some more.  She’s a little nervous at times, but greets visitors with a happy wag and loves to meet new people.  Millie is happy in a crate, or snuggled up next to you under the covers.  She does well on a leash, and rides well in the car.  She is absolutely housebroken, and uses the doggie door on her own.  Millie can jump a baby gate like a deer!  If given a few days to adjust to her new home, Millie would be a devoted and loving companion!

 Tinkerbell is a two and a half-year old female who needs a gentle, loving home and a family that she can give her love and affection to in return.  She is extremely timid and submissive but ever so loving once she feels safe.  She would snuggle all day and kiss you to death if she could.  She is not a chewer or destructive and likes playing with our toys nicely.  She is playful and friendly with other dogs and picks up the household routine quickly.  We are not sure how she will do with cats. Tinkerbell has a white smooth coat, and is the classic tricolor with big brown eyes. She has an 8-inch tail, stands 10.5 inches at the shoulders and is 17 inches long from nose to the base of her wagging tail. She weighs 14.2 lbs.   She can be crated but is housetrained and walks very nicely on a leash..  Tink is quite an acrobat and can jump very high.  She loves to be on your lap if it’s free and also loves a good car ride.  Tinkerbell comes to her name like a good girl and has recently been learning to sit.  This sweet girl gets nervous and fearful around small children, so she needs a home with adults or older kids.  For more pictures and video clips of her in action, visit Tinkerbell’s photo album  HERE 

CongRATulations to the Warner family!

 Lady is a sweet, affectionate, friendly, outgoing 3 year-old female rat terrier. She has a lot of energy and is always ready to run and play. She is good  with other dogs, but not cats or other small animals, due to her prey drive. She loves to chase squirrels, rabbits, and lizards. She will spend hours outside hunting, which means she requires a home with a secure fenced yard. She would not be happy as an apartment or condo dog because she needs an outlet for her energy.  She needs to be with a person or family who is very active. (i.e. taking her for long walks daily, letting her run, and making sure she has plenty of activities to keep her occupied.) Lady would be great at dog sports, such as agility or fly ball.  She needs a job!  She will only thrive in an active environment. She is highly intelligent, curious, and social. A home with another playful dog would be great for her, as well as a home with older children who can play with her, although she may be too exuberant for toddlers.  Lady loves being around people.  Lady has learned several commands, with the help of a volunteer trainer.  She knows “sit”, “stay” and “down.”  She is very smart!  She is nervous when it thunders (she wants to sit on laps and be comforted)  She sleeps quietly on her bed at night, and does not like being crated.  Her favorite thing is to swim in the ocean!  She has been to the dog beach and loves it!  She also loves going to the dog parks to socialize.  If you are looking for an active companion, Lady could be the one!

Our foster mom in CT is enjoying a little puppy breath!  Meet Brody!  Brody is a 12-week old rat terrier mix that is enjoying life in his foster home in Bristol, CT, with his brother Bobo.  Brody is a sweet boy who is working on his housebreaking skills and leash training. He is crate trained and really focuses on you when training.  We think he might be a good candidate for agility.   He is good with kids of all ages and he is also good with cats. He rides well in the car, and loves to run and play with his other foster brother and sister.  Brody is a total love bug with people.  Right now he is teething, so we are working on learning how not to nibble on fingers. He would make a great family member for someone with or without dogs. Brody and his brother are pretty quiet and don’t bark much at all.  They are good boys!  For more photos of Brody in his foster home, click here:
