Story
We adopted Jessy from a Petco Adoption event when she was 4 months old. She is currently 6 years old. We think that Jessy would flourish in a quiet home that does not have a lot of people going in and out. She sometimes gets nervous and is afraid of strangers which is stressful for both her and the family because she barks when she is nervous. We would describe Jessy as fun (as long as she is around her family), and sweet. She loves to get brushed, but does not like going for walks as she becomes afraid. She is gentle with children and is not a threat. She is also house-trained.

Demon came with the name, but he definitely could use a new, more fitting one in his new forever home! He is about 3 to 5yrs old and has some vision impairments. He is a love bug and loves to be with his people once he gets to know you. Demon is quirky and will need someone patient and experienced with "little dog syndrome". He is good with other dogs. No children. If you would like to meet him, please fill out an application on our website and an officer will be in touch! www.naugatuckanimalcontrol.com

Schatzki is a very playful energetic dog who loves fetch and running around. She loves attention and cuddling at the end of the day. She gets very excited to play and loves kisses. Schatzki knows when you are sad and wants to make you feel better too. She has a lot of energy that needs to be used throughout the day and is a hyperactive and reactive dog. She isnt good with kids and She needs lots of attention and patience, and someone who will be home often with her. Once you have a bond with her you have a bond with her for life and your heart will grow very fond of her and love her deeply if you have time and patience. Schatzki is a great dog that will thrive in the right environment, time, and lots and lots of exercise.

Yeti is a beautiful young boy looking for his forever family! Yeti is super loving and affectionate and loves to bring you gifts, from his dog bowls, to toys or anything he finds in the yard! Yeti would do best with an active family and children 16 yrs + as he does get mouthy due to anxiety - but he has shown that he is very eager to learn and please. He has been non reactive with other dogs - Meet and Greets are required with other dogs in the home. We do NOT Cat Test - If you're interested in meeting this happy boy, please fill out an application on our website www.naugatuckanimalcontrol.com
