Story
Rooster is a silly, outgoing, lovable 14 week old girl who is sure to steal your heart. She has a gentle nurturing nature to her, she’s the pup that watches over the others, plays with the shy ones and makes others feel safe. She loves nothing more than to be near her people and animal siblings. She can be energetic (in a good way), or she can be your best snuggle buddy if the day calls for relaxing on the couch. Her excitement to see her human is heart warming. Rooster is amazing with children and will eagerly follow them around, she would love to grow up in a home with children I’m certain when you come home from a long day at work, her greets and kisses will make your day all better. Sit down, take a small break from adulting and enjoy the love from Rooster. Rooster ~ meet me ~ Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies that are picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368. WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you! More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get an automatically generated confirmation email. Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back. After receipt of your application, an adoption counselor will then be in touch to answer your questions about this pup, discuss the adoption process and get the ball rolling! If you have not heard from one of our volunteers within 5 days of submitting your application, please email mollibo@gmail.com.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet our 4 musketeers. This is Porthos. These guys have been through a lot. They were well loved by their owner, who passed away. Her father was trying to take care of them, but they escaped. He was bringing food to them, but he couldn't catch them. The nice family that bought the house asked the rescue community for help. Traci Bell with Saved By the Bell Pet Recovery and Humane Trapping and Lauren Barrios agreed to go on the rescue mission. Porthos is a smooth coated terrier. Aramis and Porthos were trapped in the Missy trap. Porthos was very friendly, until we started medicating him. He let us know quickly that he preferred to be looked at by a real vet, not an amateur. This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cin c innati, Lexington KY,     or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225   . We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 14, 2024, 1:58 pm
