Sunshine Rescue

09/06/2025

Luca is, without a doubt, one of the happiest, bounciest, most cheerful and smiley puppies we have ever encountered. He is the embodiment of excitement, mischief, curiosity, and play!

Why is he still with us??? He's now had several applicants who changed their minds before even meeting him! We promise - if you meet him, you will love him!

Luca is the tallest - but not the heaviest - of his litter, and will likely be 35-40lbs as an adult. His mama looks like a Collie mix, and Dad is a mystery. We see possible hints of shepherd and/or husky... Maybe...

Apply for Luca on our website, share him on social media, or reach out with questions! We love this charismatic goofball, and just want to share him.

UPDATE - Kittens found placement with another rescue. They are safe!

Anyone want to foster 4 kittens???

Update 3:00 pm - Placement secured. Thank you for caring and sharing. ❤️

Waterbury, CT. Someone discovered a box of adorable kittens. Unfortunately, our foster network currently lacks available space. Please share this post in the hopes of locating another rescue organization capable of providing assistance. These innocent kittens urgently require help!

These two cuties just came back to us because the adult dog in their foster-to-adopt family became territorial. Who wants to take them home???

Meet Clover!!!

From the beginning, Clover has always been the pudgy baby, a roly-poly, life-loving chunk of chocolate. In just about every way, he acts like a pint-sized Labrador - friendly, gentle, affectionate, outgoing, always ready for anything, and highly trainable. His green eyes are a beautiful added bonus!

Male, possibly cattle dog mix, DOB 5/6/25. Short hair, moderate energy level, likely 30-35lbs fully grown. Currently working on crate-training, house-training, and basic commands.

Apply to adopt on our website!

Meet Lilac!

Lilac is such a little flower - strikingly beautiful, shy, unique, and soft. She has a whole lot of love to give, but it can take her a minute to open up, though she tends to blossom with other dogs around. Lilac is perfectly content to go for a romp with a friend, or just hang out and chill with a calm person, or sit by herself with a toy. It's all pretty much the same to her - so easy to please!

Female, possibly cattle dog mix, DOB 5/6/25. Short hair, moderate energy level, likely 30-35lbs fully grown. Currently working on crate-training, house-training, and basic commands.

Meet Bumblebee!

Bumblebee is currently the biggest in his litter, and stands out with his faint lilac merle coat and single blue eye! His baby coat was stunning, but it has been changing every week, so who knows what he'll look like when he matures! He is the boss man in his pack, a big, intelligent alpha boy with serious zoomies. He takes play time seriously both with people and other dogs, and would make a fantastic hiking partner!

Male, possibly cattle dog mix, DOB 5/6/25. Short hair, moderate to high energy level, likely 30-40lbs fully grown.

Meet Robin! (aka Robbie, Rob, Baby)

Robbie is a cuddler, a velcro dog, a mama's boy who fought weaning, and a strong little survivor, wrapped up in a pint-sized, brindle, velvety soft body! He struggled for several weeks early on, with repeated episodes of hypoglycemia. He was just so gentle that his siblings got all the goods, and left poor Robbie without enough nutrition. Now healthy and happy, he is such a little lover and lap hog.

Mama seems to be a cattle dog mix, and Robbie is on track to be 25-35lbs as an adult.

Help us find a home for Robin!!! Apply at www.sunshinerescue.org

Luca says, if you happen to be shopping Amazon Prime Day this week, some of his wishlist items are on sale! And he also wants you to know that he is a growing boy, and eats a LOT (and therefore poops a lot). Thank you, with wiggles and kisses! 😘
