Meet Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine and Moana, our own princesses! These five adorable puppies need FOSTERS so they can come to CT on Sat. Feb 11. They are 8-week-old lab mixes and weigh 7-8 lb. Can you foster one of these cuties? We provide food, crate, leash and collar. You provide the love! Fosters always have the first option to adopt their pup so if you are thinking of adding a puppy to your family, what better way than to foster the pup right from arrival? Please email your completed foster application with the picture of the pup you wish to foster to daws@daws.org . Here is the link to our foster application: https://daws.org/daws-forms/

Beagle
This adorable pup is Wendell. He is a 7-month-old beagle mix and weighs just 14 lb. We expect he will be about 20 lb full grown. His foster says " Wendell is very sweet and has lots of puppy energy. He is doing well with housetraining and learning to relax in a crate. Wendell can get overwhelmed easily and needs a home with patience and willingness to put in the time for proper consistent training. He doesn't always recognize social cues from other dogs but that is something he needs time to learn." We think Wendell would do best in a home with teens and up. He is quickly learning how to trust new people and new routines and just needs consistency to continue on that path. He is going to make a great companion to whoever he bonds with and will thrive in a loving, committed home. This boy is going to be worth every bit of effort! If you would like to meet/adopt Wendell, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-forms. Email daws@daws.org if you need assistance or have any questions.

Shetland Sheepdog / Sheltie
This adorable boy is Gage. He is a 2-year-old sheltie mix and weighs 29 lbs. Gage is a very happy dog! He is active and loves to go on walks. He knows sit and walks nicely on a leash. Although he has lots of energy, he is also able to settle down next to his people. Gage could be an escape artist so needs to be under a watchful eye. He is also very smart and trainable, and might make a great agility dog. Gage would love to have an active family that can take him out to explore the woods and trails. He would do well with young children 6 and up with mindfulness to his bouncy energy and jumping habits which can easily be corrected. With proper introduction, we expect he will be fine with other dogs. We do not know what Gage thinks of cats. Gage will adjust well to any family if given the proper time to do so. He is going to be a very fun addition to a lucky home! If you would like to meet/adopt Gage, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-forms.

Beagle
This adorable beagle is Buddy. He is two-years-old and weighs 24 lb. He was given up due to the owner having some health issues. Buddy is a quiet, somewhat timid boy who is incredibly friendly once he warms up to you. He likes to carry toys around in his mouth. Buddy gets scared by loud noises and would prefer a calm home. He’s had a lot of changes recently in his life and needs time and patience. Buddy is easily trainable and was housetrained at his original home. He would do best in a dog-experienced home with teens and up, who are aware not to startle him. Though Buddy is okay with dogs, he would prefer a home without them. He likes his own space. Buddy will make a very loyal companion and is going to thrive in a loving home. If you would like to meet/adopt Buddy, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-forms.

Terrier
This pretty girl is Elora. She is 2-years-old and weighs 44 lb. Elora is what we like to call an "All-American Rescue." We see a little bit of multiple breeds in her. She has spots on her ear, probably revealing some dalmatian in the mix. Maybe a little terrier, maybe a little hound? Whatever her breed mix, she is 100 % cute! Elora loves human attention and really enjoys being with her people. She rolls over for belly rubs and can get very wiggly in her joy. Elora likes to be active and also likes to relax and snooze. She was in a foster home in KY with dogs and cats and did well. In that home, she was very chill and well-behaved in her activity level and temperment. She was also housetrained there. Elora is an incredibly loving, fun dog who is going to make a great companion for someone! If you would like to meet/adopt Elora, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-forms. Email daws@daws.org if you need assistance or have any questions.

Torbie
This pretty girl is Isabella! She is a 3-year-old kitty that came to DAWS as a stray. Her foster says "Isabella enjoys the company of other cats and likes to play with wand toys. She would thrive in a home that has another cat but it should be a confident and social cat rather than another shy cat. She accepts pets on her own terms. Isabella makes biscuits on her bed and she purrs once she gets to know you. Isabella is making good progress but will need a patient adopter." The foster is open to having potential adopters visit Isabella at her home as much as they want to work with her and see if she is the right fit.
Isabella is vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. If you are interested in meeting or adopting this adorable girl, please complete our online adoption application. Here is the link to the app: https://daws.org/daws-forms/

Beagle
This pretty girl is Lilly, a 31 lb 3-year-old beagle mix in need of a committed adopter willing to come to DAWS several times to get to know her before she goes home. Lilly is often reactive to new people and animals and will bark on first meeting. When meeting Lilly, it is best to be quiet and just walk with her. Eventually she will get curious and sniff you. She does well on hikes and loves toys. She will entertain herself with her toys. She has no signs of resource guarding. She likes to play in the yard with other dogs and we think she would do well as a second dog with a nice, confident dog. Lilly is very smart and in tune with her person. We think she could be a terrific student at agility training. Lilly needs an experienced dog owner who will give consistency to her routine so she can enjoy home life. We recommend an adult-only home for Lilly and no apartment/condo living. If you are willing to get to know this girl who is so deserving of a second chance in life, please email dogs@daws.org to discuss further. Some dogs need a little more work to settle into their forever home and Lilly is one of those dogs. She will be a great companion to someone willing to put the time in to win her heart.

German Shepherd Dog
Zorro is our longest resident at DAWS and has been here for over three years. During that time, this 70 lb. four-year-old shepherd mix has been working very hard on training and we believe his time has come to find his furever home!
Back in 2019, when Zorro first arrived to DAWS after being saved from a high kill shelter in Kentucky, he began developing some behavioral challenges, making it difficult to find him the right home. Through extensive training, Zorro has proved himself to be a pup that can develop solid friendships with humans, and even befriend select dogs.
Zorro has been trained using treats and he eagerly sits, lies down and gives a paw on command. He’s done very well with car rides. He has enjoyed many hikes, walks, and play-time with his volunteer team. Time and time again, he has shown what a good boy he is, he just needs to find that special person! With a dog like Zorro, he will need a very specific adopter...
Zorro Owner Requirements:
• Experienced dog owner
• Adult-only home with no kids or future children
• Must be the only pet in the home
• Has to have an understanding of positive reinforcement training
• House with a fenced yard of at least 6 ft.
• Willing to slowly introduce Zorro to people close to the family and educate them on Zorro’s do’s & don'ts
• Come and meet Zorro multiple times
If you think you can be the hero that Zorro needs, please complete our online application. Here is the link to the app: https://daws.org/daws-forms/
Zorro’s adoption fee is discounted for veterans that are members of the organization Pets for Patriots. The discounted fee for him is $100. For more information on this program, visit petsforpatriots.org
