STAMFORD, CT  RESIDENTS: Urgent Action Needed to Stop Puppy Mill Sales

A crucial Stamford ordinance aimed at ending the puppy-mill-to-pet-store pipeline passed the Board of Representatives with overwhelming support (35–1–1).

The ordinance is now on Mayor Caroline Simmons desk, who has until December 1st to sign or veto it.

Ordinance LR31.072 would prohibit the sale of dogs and cats in pet shops, shutting down the sale of puppy mill dogs.

 Please ask Mayor Simmons to SUPPORT ordinance LR31.072, which would block the puppy mill-to-pet shop pipeline in Stamford by banning the sale of dogs and cats in pet shops.

🐾✨ ADOPT ALBERT — THE BRAD PITT OF DOGS ✨🐾

Have you met Albert? No? Well brace yourself, because this handsome guy is so model-level gorgeous he really should be out there signing paw-tographs and starring in commercials.

Albert is a fun-loving, toy-obsessed, walk-enjoying, heart-melting bundle of joy.
He gets along wonderfully with both male and female dogs.

He is ready to strut his stuff right into his forever home and steal hearts like it’s his full-time job.

Please share so this superstar can find the loving home he deserves!

Bowie was adopted from us more than three years ago, and he has been living his best life ever since - truly the most spoiled, loved pup in his wonderful forever home. He even got to take some adorable holiday pics!

Beyond giving Bowie the most magical home, his mom has become a friend, a volunteer, a supporter, and a trusted source of advice. We are grateful for everything she does for the dogs.

Adoption brings people together who might never have crossed paths otherwise, and that is one of the beautiful things about it .... lifelong friendships are born through these connections. ❤️

Lilly sends her biggest thanks to the kind person who sent her this canned food from our Chewy wish list. She absolutely refuses to eat her kibble without some of this mixed in, so she is very happy and grateful! Since Chewy does not share the names of donors, we don’t know who sent it—but please know how truly thankful we are. Your kindness means so much and helps us more than you know.

If anyone else would like to help Lilly and Samson with their kibble or supplements, their Chewy wish list is linked below. We would be incredibly grateful for any support.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.

Stevie Adoption Update

Stevie was adopted two years ago and is thriving in his forever home alongside his feline sisters!

Before we rescued him, Stevie had been kept in a small kennel 24/7 at another so-called “rescue,” whose owner was later arrested on multiple charges of animal abuse and cruelty.

Unfortunately, their lawyer has managed to postpone the court date—where the plea deal must be accepted or rejected—twelve times so far.  The U.S. justice system is a disaster.

Yes, these are cats—not pit bulls!

We are a pit bull rescue group, but a local home has roughly eight feral cats they are feeding. At the start of the year, there were only two cats. Now there are about eight. We have contacted every TNR (trap/neuter/return) group in our area, but they are all overwhelmed with backlogs of colonies needing help.

We could look the other way and say, “We are not a cat group,” but these animals need help. If we do not step in, eight cats will quickly turn into hundreds.

We want to extend our sincerest thanks to the generous person sponsoring the surgeries for all eight cats. Vet care is not free, and without this support, we simply could not take on this project. Thank you for your kindness, your compassion, and everything you do.

Right now, the cats are getting comfortable entering and exiting the traps for food. Once trapped, each cat will receive:

Spay/neuter

Rabies vaccine

Distemper vaccine

Flea treatment

Dewormer

Ear tip

Abdominal tattoo (to indicate sterilization)

ADOPT FRENCHIE 

Please take a moment to share – you never know who might see Frenchie and fall in love.

Frenchie is an easygoing, gentle soul who just wants a soft bed and a loving home. She is about 7–8 years old and her favorite hobbies are snoozing and leisurely walks. Frenchie is incredibly affectionate, calm, and gets along beautifully with both people and other dogs.

Frenchie has spent her entire life waiting for a forever home. She came from a heartbreaking situation — rescued from a so-called “rescue” where the owner is now facing multiple charges for animal cruelty and abuse. Frenchie deserves peace, love, and a forever family.

Please help change her story. One share could be the beginning of her happily ever after.
