We're at New England Brewing Co. in Woodbridge CT and we're hoping you'll stop by and say hello! We'll be here until 7 pm and there's so much to do! We've got a dog costume contest, games, photos, raffles, music, vendors, great food and beverages to be purchased, and entry is free! So c'mon over and bring your pup, too! It's a great day to enjoy being out and about!
Pepper needs a home! She's such a happy girl! She knows her basics, and is all ready and waiting for a home. To foster or adopt this sweetheart, please fill out an application online: https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved
Pepper has come a long, long way from the scared dog we got from the shelter. She'd gotten out of her kennel and ran from people trying to catch her. She hid under a truck, and it took a number of people to get her out from under there. She was "labeled" as a result, and we pulled her when she had just hours to go before losing her life.
Thank goodness! After just a day or so she realized she was safe and showed us what a wonderful dog she really is!
Pepper's about 7 years old, an American bulldog mix, who loves people, could live happily with children 7+ years old, and enjoys the company of other dogs. We don't have a way to test her with cats, but a meet and greet would let us know if they could live happily together.
She's a doll, and will make an absolutely wonderful family member.
Melissa and Cole also spent some time with Ken today. He is sooooo handsome and such a great dog! He went to boarding when he could not stay with his foster family because of family-related issues, and has been searching for a new foster or forever home ever since! Ken neeeeeds to be in a home! If you can foster him or would like to adopt him, and live in Connecticut, please fill out an application online right away! https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved
Ken is now about one year old - he's still a puppy! And he's sooooo handsome! <3 He's also a really good boy who loves people and would be happy to live with older (teenaged) children. He'll do well with other dogs of similar size with proper introductions. He shouldn't be around small dogs, cats, or other small animals.
He's a happy, energetic young dog. He'd love an active family - he'd definitely be up for going on long walks or hikes with you. He'd also love a fenced yard where he can run around.
Like any young dog, he'll need continued training and socialization so that he stays as happy as he is now.
We will give preference to families with experience with bully breed dogs.
Bagel had visitors today! Our Board member Melissa spent some time with him, along with Cole. He was so excited and just loved soaking up the love and attention!
NOW folks, we really really need to find Bagel a home! He went to boarding when his foster family had a personal emergency, and we've had NO luck finding him a new home. If you would like to help this absolutely adorable boy out, either by fostering or adopting, and you're in Connecticut, and especially if you have experience with hounds, please PLEASE fill out an application online: https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved
Bagel is now about 8 years old. He loves people and quickly becomes a velcro dog. He's happiest when he's with his people.
He needs to be an only pet in an adult home. He's not a fan of other animals and can be possessive of food and anything he decides is his.
He's a purebred beagle with a beagle nose and voice. He'd love a securely fenced yard. And he wouldn't be a good choice for apartment or condo living. He'd be a better fit in a single family home in a suburban or rural environment.
Bagel will need some time to acclimate to a new home, but it won't take long. Once that happens you will have a loyal, loving, affectionate pal. Bagel quickly wins hearts. He's a truly sweet dog!
Thanks to a wonderful foster family, we were able to give Sandy a ride out of the pound today, and not a moment too soon! We've been posting her as urgent because the family could not take her back and her time at the pound was just about up. She is soooooo happy to be in a home again! 💖 We're going to let these images speak for themselves and just say a heartfelt "Welcome to AATDR, Sandy!!!" 😘

Our trainer met Flora today, in addition to Max! We'd like her to become an AATDR dog too but we need a foster first. She's about 4-5 years old (best guess), good with other dogs, fine with older (10+ years old) children, unknown with cats. If you can foster please fill out an online application: https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved
Flora is a little shy at first - if you move your hand quickly she will duck her head, so it's likely she was hit/abused at some point prior to getting to the pound :( She shows no aggression - she's just timid for a minute or two, until she knows you're not going to hurt her.
As you can see, she's a big fan of belly rubs :)
She's a bully breed dog and applications from people with experience with the breed will be given preference.
If you have a fenced yard it would be fantastic, but not an absolute requirement.
Please foster so that we can give this girl her freedom ride out of the pound!
Our trainer met Max today and oh my goodness he is a sweetie! He needs a new home because the rescue from which the family adopted him has shut down and his current family can't keep him. We're working with them and a local CT animal control officer to bring him into the rescue. Max is good with other dogs, children, and cats!!! If you can foster him please fill out an application: https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved
He's only about 2 years old, only weighs about 20-25 lbs, and we're told that at home he's a couch potato :) When he's out and about and meeting new people, he is happy and enthusiastic. He has no behavioral issues and no medical issues. He's house trained, crate trained, and knows his basics.
This is a no-brainer, folks! The line forms to the right :) .....
Last week we posted Zemi and, thanks to a family stepping up to foster, she became an AATDR dog today. After a stop at Petco, our trainer took her to meet her foster family. All went well, and she's now settling in!
Zemi is a purebred Rottweiler who was rescued from a local CT backyard breeder by a kind soul who couldn't keep her and reached out to us for help. She's only about 2 years old, and loves everyone! She's great with other dogs and people, and would be fine living with slightly older (10+ years old) children. There's a cat in the foster home that generally lives in a separate part of the house, but stay tuned while we figure out how she would do with cats!
Zemi will need to see our vet and be spayed, and then will be ready to be adopted.
If you live in CT, and especially if you have experience with the breed, please fill out an application: https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved She won't be ready to be adopted for a little while, but since we seem to have a lot of Rottie lovers, feel free to get your applications in early :)
