All Paws on Deck All Paws on Deck is a pregnant dog rescue in Griswold, CT. All Paws on Deck is a 501(c)3 non-profit foster based rescue. allpawsondeck.org We cannot adopt to MA.

If you are looking to surrender or re-home your dog, please visit: https://www.allpawsondeck.org/surrender to answer all your questions. We are a Griswold, CT based dog rescue with a focus on saving pregnant/nursing mamas and their babies from overcrowded shelters in Georgia. We also save small, medium, and large adults/seniors. In the South, there are many pets coming constantly going into shelte

rs because they were found as strays, they're too old, they can't be cared for anymore, or because of neglect and cruelty cases. We strive to save each and every dog that we possibly can with the help of our fosters and volunteers.

What an amazing opportunity for socialization!

Positive exposure to the world, sights, sounds, people, dogs etc, is critical for our YOUNG puppies to grow up confident and brave, but puppies aren't fully protected from sicknesses like Parvo until their vaccinations are all finished. So what can we do?!

Join a casual hour-long stroller walk to keep pup's paws off the ground while we safely explore dog-friendly environments in SE Connecticut! Ages 8 weeks to 14 weeks, size dependent!

Bring your puppy related questions for professional advice, tips, and tricks from KBDB Dog Training's head certified trainer Brittni!

A sanitized stroller is available for each puppy in class to use!

First scheduled stroll is 1/11 at 11am, we will meet at Mystic Village if it's nicer weather, or Home Depot in Waterford if it's too cold/wet outside!

🖤 Meet Our Black Beauties: Rakifi, Malcolm, Clarence, and Timon! 🖤

Did you know that 30-40% of dogs are born black or predominantly black? Yet, 60-70% of dogs in shelters are black or mostly black, due to their common occurrence in many breeds and mixed-breed dogs. Sadly, black dogs often face longer wait times for adoption, simply because they’re overlooked. This phenomenon, known as "Black Dog Syndrome," means these beautiful pups can spend months or even years in a shelter, waiting for the love they deserve. It’s heartbreaking, especially when we know how loving and loyal black dogs can be.

✨ Introducing the last of their litters:

Rakifi: A bundle of charm with a curious spark.
Malcolm: Sweet, playful, and always up for snuggles.
Clarence: Gentle, loving, and as loyal as they come.
Timon: A joyful spirit with a heart full of love.

These pups are ready to bring endless joy, love, and adventure into a home. They’re waiting for someone to see beyond their beautiful black coats and recognize the incredible companions they are.

💡 Why adopt a black dog?
✔️ They’re classic, timeless, and always camera-ready.
✔️ Their shiny coats hide dirt like magic.
✔️ You’ll be giving a pup who’s often overlooked the loving home they deserve.

Don’t let Rakifi, Malcolm, Clarence, and Timon face any more lonely days. Visit www.allpawsondeck.org to apply and give these incredible pups the forever homes they desperately need and truly deserve.

🎉 First Adoption of 2025! 🎉

We’re overjoyed to announce that our sweet Jelly girl has found her forever home! ❤️

Jelly’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. At just two years old, she faced heartbreaking challenges: being surrendered due to her owner’s health, then moving between kennels and fosters. These experiences left her skittish and deeply affected by trauma. But we never gave up on her. We worked with her every single day, knowing that healing takes time—and love. 💕

Then came an application that felt like a wonderful match for this incredible dog. It was a moment of pure joy for our team, and today, the very first day of 2025, Jelly is making her final move: into her forever home.

Now, Jelly can truly begin to heal, to trust, and to grow with her new human by her side. 🌟 We couldn’t be happier for this sweet girl and her new family.

If you’ve been thinking about adopting, now is the perfect time to start. Your application could be the first step toward changing a dog’s life—and your own. Visit www.allpawsondeck.org to apply today! 💕

🐾 Meet Jax! 🐾

Jax is an amazing little pup with a story that will tug at your heartstrings. This sweet boy had a rough start in life, but his resilience is truly inspiring. Jax, his mama, and his siblings were rescued by animal control when their owner was arrested. Mama dog was found caring for her days-old puppies in a difficult and overcrowded environment with several other dogs.

When Jax and his siblings arrived, they all had vision impairments—possibly due to malnutrition or genetics. While there’s hope that his vision could improve with time, there’s no guarantee. What is guaranteed is that Jax will bring love, joy, and a lot of cuteness to the lucky family who adopts him! 💕

Ready to make Jax, or one of his adorable siblings, part of your family? Visit www.allpawsondeck.org to apply and give an incredible little pup the happy ending they deserve. 🏡✨

Looking Back with Gratitude, Moving Forward with Hope

As we bid farewell to 2024 and embrace the promise of a new year, we want to pause and reflect on the incredible milestones we’ve achieved together.

This year, thanks to YOU, we saved over 500 dogs, giving them the second chance they deserved. Many of these dogs came from heartbreaking situations—mothers and pups left behind, strays with nowhere to turn, and victims of neglect or abuse. Now, because of your compassion and dedication, they’re living lives filled with love, security, and family.

To our fosters, adopters, volunteers, donors, and supporters: you are at the heart of our mission. Whether you adopted a rescue dog, welcomed a foster into your home, gave your time at events, reviewed an application, shared our posts, or donated to our cause—your generosity is what makes this rescue possible.

We also want to recognize the heroes behind the scenes—our partnering shelters, the drivers who ensure our pups make it to safety, the veterinary teams who provide life-saving care, radio stations who help bring attention to our organization, and the event hosts who help bring our community together. Every bit of this contributes to the miracles of this rescue.

Looking ahead to 2025, we’re filled with hope and determination. With your continued support, we’ll keep rescuing, healing, and finding loving homes for every dog who needs us. Together, we can create even more happy endings.

From all of us at All Paws on Deck—and from every wagging tail and grateful heart—THANK YOU! Here’s to an even brighter 2025! 💕🐾

Meet Rafiki: A Journey from Fear to Hope 🐾

Rafiki’s story is one of resilience and the transformative power of love. Part of the Lion King crew, Rafiki came to us from a heartbreaking situation—a massive hoarding case that left him with no understanding of the world outside a kennel. From the shelter in the South to a transport crate and then to another kennel here, his young life has been a series of confined spaces and uncertainty. 💔

When Rafiki first arrived, even stepping out of his kennel was terrifying. He had no idea what it meant to explore, to feel the grass under his paws, or to be surrounded by kindness. But thanks to his incredible foster family, he’s starting to learn. Slowly but surely, Rafiki is discovering courage. He’s practicing walking on a leash, spending time in the yard, and soaking up all the encouragement and praise he deserves.

Fosters like Rafiki’s are truly lifesavers. They give scared pups like him the time, space, and patience they need to begin healing. And Rafiki is already doing so much better. His foster family has seen glimpses of the happy, playful pup he’s meant to be, and we know his journey is just beginning.

Rafiki needs a forever family who will continue to show him the love and patience he’s learning to trust. If you’re ready to open your heart to this brave boy and help him find his way to a brighter future, visit www.allpawsondeck.org to apply. Let’s give Rafiki the life he’s never had but always deserved. 🐾❤️

Can You Imagine Never Knowing Love or Kindness? 💔🐾

For Ana and Elsa, this was their reality. Until we stepped in, they had never experienced the warmth of a loving touch or the comfort of a safe home. Their early lives were filled with fear and uncertainty—no kindness, no love, just survival.

We’re so grateful we were able to intervene when we did. These sweet girls are resilient, and with each passing day, we see the light return to their eyes. They are slowly learning that not all humans are to be feared. Their progress has been nothing short of inspiring, and we are confident they will continue to blossom into the loving companions they were always meant to be.

Ana and Elsa are both full of energy, joy, and love—they just need the right family to help them heal and show them the beauty of unconditional love. We know that with a patient, understanding family, they will quickly bounce back from their early life traumas and be the best companions for some very lucky homes.

Can you imagine giving them the chance they deserve? They are ready to love, and we can’t wait to see the joy they bring to the family who gives them the forever home they’ve always needed. 🐾💖
