Andy is a little on the timid side at first, but once you earn his trust, he will shower you with affection and loyalty. Andy has medium/high energy, and needs calm, confident handling to help him overcome his insecurities. He has a tendency towards “stranger danger” and will benefit from training to help him understand and navigate the world. With a trusted handler, he can be a very wiggly, happy-go-lucky boy. If you think you can provide Andy with guidance he needs and are ready to be rewarded with devotion and love, reach out today!
From now until 8/31, Andy's adoption fee will be WAIVED in support of the 2024 Clear the Shelters Campaign! Help us find this sweet pup a loving home!

Cookie is an energetic, rambunctious boy. While he may get over excited at times, he responds well to correction and guidance and is truly eager to please and be a part of a family. He has high energy and loves to chase balls and toys. He does have some terrier attitude 😜 and sometimes wants to be his own boss but he will absolutely thrive in an active household with moderate to high levels of exercise. With proper guidance, Cookie will be a delightful addition to your family!
From now until 8/31, Cookie's adoption fee will be WAIVED in support of the 2024 Clear the Shelters Campaign! Help us find this little guy a loving home!

Sydney is a Little Guild alumni who was surrendered back to us after several years due to changes in the family dynamic. She is shy and hesitant at first, but extremely sweet and affectionate once her trust is earned. While she tends to favor women, she can and will warm up to men if handled patiently. This happy girl loves to shower you in the face with kisses so be prepared for that. She also loves a good cuddle and game of fetch with her stuffed toys. She came to us with an impressive foundation in obedience training and is able to perform a variety of commands reliably, including “sit”, “down”, and “place”. Sydney is ideal for an experienced dog owner who is ready to give her a second chance!
From now until 8/31, Sydney's adoption fee will be WAIVED in support of the 2024 Clear the Shelters Campaign! Help us find this girl a loving home!

ZUKO is available for adoption!!!💖 Zuko came to us as a stray who had gotten very used to roaming free. He has grown more and more accustomed to leash walking and some confinement, but he remains a true husky at heart. He loves to roam and explore and will require as much space, supervised roaming and fulfillment as possible. He can be very playful with his sister, Azula, with a very “rough and tumble” play style. He will generally shy away from initial contact and benefits from patient handling. Zuko will be a great match for someone with the patience to form a deep lasting bond, and an active , outdoor lifestyle. If this sounds like you, Zuko is ready to explore the world with you! Go to littleguild.org for more details.🥰

THUMBELINA is available for adoption! Thumbelina came to us with her two small babies. She was such a good mom while she raised her babies. Now that they are grown she is finally ready to find her own family!
Another fun fact about Thumbelina is that she is polydactyl, which means she has a whole bunch of toes! (that's how we came up with her name!) Her favorite thing to do is watch out the window and to chirp at every bird and person that goes by. This curious girl is equal parts playful and cuddly!
Thumbelina can't wait to find her furever home!🏠❤️ For more info or to fill out an adoption application go to littleguild.org

Our Story
The Little Guild, founded in 1960 by Muriel Alvord Ward and Eleanora Kleinschmidt, is the only limited intake shelter in Northwest Connecticut. The current 3,000-square-foot facility accommodates 16 dogs and 25 cats comfortably at any time. ======================= First Half 2017 Animal Statistics: 1/1/2017 Animal Count: 34 Total Intakes: 149 Adoptions: 140 Transfers Out: 1 Deceased: 4 Total Outcomes: 145 6/30/2017 Animal Count: 38 First Half 2017 Live Release Rate: 141/145 = 97% ======================= The Little Guild gives every animal in our care the support they need to find a loving home. However, because we sometimes rescue animals in dire conditions, animals do pass away or are humanely euthanized in our care to end suffering.
