Meet Shade! He is a sweet big puppy that is looking for his forever home! He has the longest legs, and when he runs, he resembles a little pony trotting along. He has mastered crate-training as he knows when it's time to go to bed as well as time to go out and potty. He is a very smart boy and will give you sugar as much as you allow him to.
We don't know what breed Shade is, but we think some type of Labrador retriever and maybe Great Dane, since he has long legs and his snout resembles that of the Great Dane breed. Regardless of his breed, he will be a big boy at full growth. Shade is working on his leash walking and is doing well so far. He has learned to use a doggie door in just the 2 days he has been at his foster mom's house.
If you are looking for a companion that will love you endlessly, then adopt Shade! He would love to find his new home for the summer fun! He loves to play in the little swimming pool with his foster friends!
This puppy Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives.

The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies that are adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368.

More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds.

If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05.
