All About the Dogs Rescue AATDR is an approved 501(c)(3) public charity, dedicated to rescuing and finding new homes for dogs. All dogs are fully vaccinated. We don't have a shelter.

We rescue dogs from high kill shelters who are in danger of euthanasia, and dogs from families who can no longer care for them. All of our dogs go to our vet for an exam, and we test for heartworm and tick-related illnesses as well as testing for intestinal parasites. If there is a medical issue, the dog is treated and the issue resolved before being adopted. All of our dogs live with foster famil

ies. There they learn good manners living in a home, so that when they're adopted they're all set to fit right in with their new family. We are an approved 501(c)(3) public charity. As such, your donations are tax deductible. We are looking for foster families! If you would like to foster a dog, please private message this page or email [email protected] and we will send you an application. We'd love to get to know you, so please don't hesitate to email us or message this page and introduce yourself!

Pluto has less than 2 weeks to find a new foster or forever family. He must move from his current foster family by September 1. If you live in CT and can give a guy a little space in your home and heart, please fill out an application: https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved

Pluto:
✔ Pit bull type dog
✔ About 8 years old (best guesstimate)
✔ Likes other dogs (needs to polish up his manners with them, so tolerant dogs are preferred)
✔ Loves people
✔ Good with children 10+ years old (he's a bit of a bull in a china shop and could knock over little ones)
✔ Prefers to be with his people - if you work at home or you're retired, he'd be in heaven
✔ Crate trained
✔ Learning leash manners
✔ Learning basics
✔ Loves his toys - his favorite is his ball
✔ Pluto has a good deal of pep in his step. He loves going for walks ad exploring.
❌No kitties for Pluto

Pluto is an absolute love-bug. He spent almost a year in a local, large animal control facility. Now all he asks is to love and be loved (and to have a soft couch and a home where he can enjoy his retirement years).

Sandy needs a new foster home asap. She needs to move from her current foster family because their busy lives aren't allowing her to get the attention they know she needs. If you're in CT, please fill out an application: https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved

Sandy:
✔ Mixed breed
✔ House trained
✔ Crate trained
✔ Walks well on a leash
✔ Knows her basics
✔ 100% accustomed to living in a home
✔ Best in an adult home or one with older (teenaged) children
✔ Good with other dogs who can match her high energy play-style and be tolerant - her dog/dog manners need a bit of polishing
❌No cats

Sandy needs:

✔ A family experienced with rescue dogs and the time to continue her training and socialization
✔ Both mental and physical exercise - she's a smart cookie!
✔ An active family who are able to provide lots of opportunities to work off energy and explore

A wonderful trainer already knows and has worked with Sandy, and will continue to work with her once she moves to a new home.

Please give this very good girl a home quickly! She promises to be a loving, loyal, polite family member!

Our rescue tries to help as many dogs as possible with substantial medical needs. We firmly believe they deserve the best of care and a soft landing place (our rescue and then a forever family if it's possible for them to be adopted). We depend on YOUR generosity to do that. Sadly, everyone wants a dog saved but, once they're safe, are less likely to back up their wishes for the dog with donations. And the hard reality is that, without donations, we cannot help any more dogs like these:

Gigi came to us only last Saturday. She'd been at an ER vet and then with a caring individual who saved her from a life of neglect but couldn't keep her. Gigi is 14 years old. She is in end-stage kidney failure and has a grade 3 heart murmur. Other tests are still pending. She's a sweet-as-molasses little 10-lb chihuahua who just wants and deserves love. She currently is on subcutaneous fluids, a phosphate binder, an appetite stimulant and an anti-nausea drug, and will be started on prescription food. She is a hospice dog in the rescue. Once all tests are done (they're expensive) her maintenance care will cost about $400/month.

Chance is due for his 2nd and 3rd shots for heartworm disease: $800

Hope had her first injection for heartworm and will need two more: Total cost for her treatment $1200

Sweet Anne needs surgery on both of her knees to correct luxating patellas: $5,000

Barb is a hospice dog in the rescue due to a grade 5 heart murmur and kidney disease: Monthly cost of her care $450

All dogs are pictured on this post.

Your donation of the cost of your morning trip through the drive-thru will make all the difference to these dogs and others who wait for help. We absolutely cannot take on more without your help. Donations literally have dried up. Even grant organizations don't have funding to continue to help. What we can do as a rescue organization is 100% in our donor's hands. As a 501c3 approved non-profit organization, we can do absolutely nothing without YOUR help.

Please become part of our rescue team by donating today!

Add a little spice in your life by making Pepper part of your family! She is an absolutely wonderful dog and she's been waiting way too long! We'd love her to find her forever, but until she does, she needs a new foster family. If you live in CT and would like to foster or adopt Pepper, please fill out an application: https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved

Breed: American bull dog mix
S*x: Female
Age: 8 years old
Training: house trained, crate trained, knows her basic commands
Good with: people, dogs, children 10+ years old
Unknown with cats

Pepper came to us from a high-kill shelter when she was about to be euthanized. She's a happy, friendly girl who loves playing fetch and being outside in nice weather, but is not super high energy.

She'd love a family with experience with bully breed dogs with whom she can settle in and relax.

She'll be a fabulous family member.

A friend of our rescue reached out to us about Max. She'd had someone contact her about him. The person had helped him out temporarily (his owner was deported!) but can't keep him. We'd like to bring him into the rescue but we need a foster. If you've already applied and can help him out, please send us a message! If you'd like to foster him (foster-to-adopt is also an option), please fill out an application: https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved

Max:
Poodle mix
About 22 lbs
About 10 years old
Good with other dogs
Good with children 10+ years old (hasn't been tested with younger children)
Up to date with vaccines
Neutered
Unknown with cats (working on possibly getting him cat tested)
Sweet, friendly loveable dog
Knows some of his basics

Let's find this good boy a soft landing and soft couch quickly!

Sandy is such a good girl and she would love to be one of your family members (either foster or forever)! She needs to move from her current foster family because their busy lives aren't allowing her to get the attention they know she needs.

Gigi saw the vet today! They repeated bloodwork plus some :) They also are checking her for a grade 3 heart murmur that was recently discovered. They adjusted the schedule for subcutaneous fluids and sent her home with medications. She'll be on a bland diet until she starts eating reliably and then will transition to a prescription diet. She was a good girl at the vet!
