Story
This is "Romeo". Romeo came to us with his sister, "Juliet". They are a Shih Tzu/Terrier mix. They are about 4 months old and weigh about 10 pounds. Romeo and Juliet came to us with "Milo" also, a Shih Tzu/Jack Russell Terrier mix. Romeo and Juliet might have been related to Milo because all three puppies have the breed of a Shih Tzu mix. MILO GOT ADOPTED shortly after coming to us. GREAT NEWS! NOW JULIET GOT ADOPTED! As great as the news is for Juliet, now poor little Romeo is left all by himself. He misses his sister and now he is wondering when he will be as lucky as Juliet and find his new home. Romeo is a great puppy and he is smart. He would make a great playmate for a child over 6 years old. The following is Romeo and Juliet's "story" as originally posted: The puppies' story began some weeks ago when Romeo and Juliet and Milo were brought to a pet shop in Waterbury by someone who claimed he found the three puppies in the parking lot at BJ's in Waterbury. We find that "story" questionable after contacting the store manager at BJ's who checked the store's security cameras and also asked the employees if anyone saw 3 puppies running around the parking lot. There were no sightings of the puppies on the cameras or by any of the employees. We suspect this person was the owner and did not want the puppies any longer. The question that remains is where the mommy is to these puppies. We are sure she will have more puppies in the future. About Romeo and Juliet, they are very cute and they are very nice puppies. But, puppies are puppies especially when the 2 are together! Once Romeo and Juliet are placed individually, they will be even smarter, they will be even greater and they will be even more loving. They love to cuddle on your lap! Romeo and Juliet are truly wonderful dogs. We just cannot say enough about them. They are 2 very special dogs. They will be smaller dogs when they grow up. In their new homes, they would have a lot of fun with children who are 6 years old or older. You must own your own home. No condos. No apartments. Romeo got neutered, he got his last shot which is his third shot and he got his rabies shot. So, our boy is all set for a year. To adopt from us, you MUST have a veterinarian reference in your own name. We will not place any animal without a veterinarian reference. We get a veterinarian reference from your veterinarian which is a history of medical care administered by your veterinarian to your present or previous pet or pets. Please do not contact us if you cannot abide by our adoption rules. The adoption fee for Romeo is $425.00. No credit cards. If you are interested in Romeo, please email us at feline55keeper@gmail.com. You can meet Romeo on Saturday at Petco located at 201 Union Street in Waterbury during our adoption hours from 12:00 to 3:00. Romeo will be waiting for you! IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE STRESS THAT IN ORDER TO ADOPT FROM US, YOU MUST HAVE A VETERINARIAN REFERENCE...NO EXCEPTIONS!

Story
Colby is waiting to find his forever family! While he waits, though, he's going to need a temporary foster home for a couple of months. His foster mom adores him, but will be having back surgery that will put her out of commission for a little while. If you can help by fostering, that would be great! If you would like to adopt, that would be even greater! 😍 To do either, please fill out our online application: https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved Colby is a shih tzu, about 13 years old, who came to AATDR from the Deep River case in CT. He is happy with dogs of similar size, and we think would be fine with cats as well - a meet and greet would tell us for sure. We'd like to see Colby in a quiet home environment with adults or older children - as a senior he deserves to be able to relax and enjoy a quiet retirement. Although he's 13, Colby still loves playtime - his foster mom will toss his toy down the hall and he'll run down the hall and retrieve it. He also enjoys cuddling up with his foster brother and sunning himself. Colby is on a special diet because of prior bladder stones. He does have some visual impairment but it doesn't slow him down any. Other than that, he's an amazingly healthy boy! He's had his neuter surgery. He may need some dental work and AATDR will take care of that. He just needs a family to love! 💘

Casey is ready to find a fabulous forever family! He's a senior shih tzu, about 11 years old, who came to AATDR from the Deep River case in CT. He is an absolute sweetie! So get in line and fill out your applications 🙂 https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved Casey loves people and gets on well with other small dogs. We've never seen him with a cat but he would probably be fine - a meet and greet would tell us for sure. He'll do best in a quiet home with adults or older children. As a senior, he deserves to be able to just relax and enjoy his retirement. He'd love a canine companion who is a bit laid back. He does have some visual impairment but it doesn't get in his way at all. He needs eye drops daily, which are easy to give and inexpensive. He will have his neuter surgery on 6/10/24. . Let's show Casey just how wonderful life can be with a loving forever family, and that his present and future can be WAY better than his past! He's such a wonderful, deserving dog!
