Story
Layla ðŸ\x90¾â\x9D¤ï¸\x8FThis lovely 4 year old lady has been here at our shelter since 2021(half of her life), and has been looking for a place to call home ever since. She doesn't understand why no one seems to want to provide her the home she deserves. Layla considers herself a lap dog that wants nothing but to be laying next to you and enjoying your attention or playing ball with you outside. Layla also LOVES water! Although, she loves her people so much more that she doesn't quite enjoy sharing and may not like the other furry pets that might try to take you away, so its important that this girl is your one and only. But with the amount of love she has to give, she's all you'll ever need!This girl is also so smart that she'll know you'll want her to sit even before you ask. With an extremely treat motivated pup like Layla, teaching her your routine will be easy-peezy.Layla is very particular about where she does her business and needs a little guidance on her potty training, and can also have some separation anxiety when her people aren't around, so it's important to find her a family that is willing to take the time and commitment to continue her training. She can have a lot of happy puppy energy and doesn't quite understand her size compared to smaller humans, therefore she would be best suited for older children. If you're interested in adopting or fostering this pretty lady, please fill out an application on our website. Layla is UTD on her shots, spayed, and microchipped.https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=meridenhumanesociety&method=online_form_html&formid=27

Name: LadyBreed: Hound MixAge: 3 years oldCats: NoDogs: NoKids: NoOur lovely Lady is searching for her forever home! At an estimated 3 years old, this sweet girl hasn’t had the best start in life. Lady was found roaming by a local animal control and sat waiting for her person to come for her but sadly, they never did. Lady was apprehensive to human touch at first but has made huge strides in learning to trust humans and that affection is okay. Sometimes a bit too much as she likes to be real close and in the laps of the people she loves the most!While she has come a long way in her time with us, Lady is still working on some trust issues with new humans and will require a special person who is willing to put the time and effort into coming and working build a bond with her.More about Lady, she loves her walks and quiet time in our expen away from the other pups. She’s also quite the fan of chasing down tennis balls, and loves her true chew treats! No other animals for Lady, as she has high prey drive. No kids as she prefers an adult only home. Lady is microchipped, utd on her vaccinations, and is spayed.If you think you can give Lady the forever home she longs for, please apply today!

Story
Meet our very sweet and petite girl named Puddin! Puddin is about 1 year old, and she came to our shelter after she was found roaming on the side of the turnpike. She is a very friendly puppy who absolutely loves getting attention from people! When Puddin is outside of her kennel in our backyard, she is a silly girl who likes to play with toys. She is not overly energetic and likes to lounge in the sun chewing on a toy. She is food motivated and already knows how to sit and give paw. Puddin gets uncomfortable around other dogs, so we are looking for a home where she can be your only dog. She has tested well with cats. Puddin can go to a home with children 10 years old and older who have dog experience. Puddin will need to be walked on a harness that does not pull on her throat. For some reason when collars pull directly against her throat, it causes her to gag. Otherwise she is a happy girl who likes to be with people! If you are interested in adopting Puddin, Please Email us at Adopt@savingpawsct.org for an application! Her adoption fee is $75.00. MAC IS OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK (M-F 8-4pm) (Sat-Sun 10-4pm) Applications must be submitted and approved BEFORE a meet and greet can be scheduled to meet an animal.

Bully breed specific permission is required if you rent or own a condo. If you own your home, proof of home ownership is required. If there are other pets in the home they must be licensed (if a dog) and up to date on vaccinations.

Meet our super handsome and unique looking boy named Sunny! Sunny originally came to us after he was found lost in town. His owner never came to claim him, so he is now looking for his forever family to come adopt him! Sunny is about 9 months old and he is an adorable guy! He is petite right now, but he definitely has some growing to do. From his looks, we are guessing Sunny is some kind of Bully breed mixed with Dalmatian or another spotted type dog. He is a very friendly boy who loves to be pet and get attention from people. He is a young boy, but he isn't overly energetic and he is very gentle when he takes treats. Sunny deserves to be loved and cared for by a family who won't abandon him. He is good with other dogs and he can go to a home with children 10 years old and older. If you are interested in adopting Sunny, Please Email us at Adopt@savingpawsct.org for an application! His adoption fee is $75.00. PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL SPAM FOLDER!

Story
Cookie was surrendered to us when her owner could not have more than 2 dogs in the apartment. She is a happy go lucky friendly girl. She is 9 months old this month.( April). She is spayed and completely vetted. She can jump 6-8 ft straight up without a running start so even a fenced yard won't keep her in. We prefer a family that leash walks their dog. She was not properly socialized as a young pup and will need a kind loving patient owner to show her the ropes and how to be a dog. She is finally walking on leash better and will go through a doorway now. We have 12ft high fence in our outdoor runs so we let her run about, but still watch her as she might even try to climb out if left unattended. You must have a current Vet reference from a Vet that knows you. A dog is a 15 year minimum commitment. She is very active and would be great agility dog. She only has half a tail because of "happy-tail" syndrome. Only serious inquiries only over 25 years of age. Online adoption form at www.fobac.org and you can email us at fobacadoptions@gmail.com or call the shelter at 860-828-7055. $100 adoption fee
