Pet of the Month
McGee is a black lab/BC mix although he appears to be more black lab than anything. He is only about 3-4 months old. He was turned in by a woman whose brother planned to dump him in a shelter in KY. This little guy is sweet and deserves a home where he can be loved and appreciated so our foster/rescue program brought into our program. He will need someone that is willing to train him proper manners, work with him on basic commands, house-breaking skills and how to be a good member of the family. He is going to be a larger dog - somewhere around 60lbs we believe. He is very social and friendly with other dogs and good with people.
He will need room to run and play so no apartments for this boy. He would do best with a fenced yard or large rural area - fields and hiking would be great.
Older kids would be fine - no toddlers as he will probably knock them over.
McGee's adoption fee is $200.00 for residents of CT, MA and RI only please. You must complete an adoption application, vet reference and home visit will be required... .

Our organization rescued little cattle dog Dixie from a horrible shelter in rural OH with the help of many folks in OH who care deeply about the animals that don't get much help there....... We were lucky enough to get this little 25lb, very pregnant baby doll out of there as everyone that came in contact with her couldn't believe how wonderful and loving she was and still is........she is truly "special". Dixie Tara ended up having an emergency "C-Section" on March 30th....she had nine babies in that tiny body of hers.....sadly we lost 4 of them and 5 have managed to live (3 girls, 2 boys).......but as you can imagine our vet bill is up over $1,000. for a Sunday morning emergency surgery.....and we are hardly done yet.....shots, spaying of mama down the road and all that food! So we are asking those of you that can afford a few spare dollars towards her care we would gladly appreciate it........we have posted a photo of her with her new babies......they are all thriving right now and happy & healthy..... Click on the donation link box below if you would like to donate a few dollars to her cause.......

"RALLY TO RESCUE"
Please check out this great program supporting rescues across the country in gaining awareness to the adoption option of homeless pets from our shelters and rescue organzations. We will be doing several events this year with our new booth and promotional materials supplied by the Rally to Rescue program.
Must fill out application
form completely including a vet reference and phone number (if it
takes us time to research YOUR vets number its slows down your
application process). If you do not have a current vet you
must provide (3) personal references of non-family members. All potential adoptions DO
require a home visit by a member of our respected rescue
community. There are NO exceptions to this rule. If you live on a busy
street that is heavily traveled you will be required to have
conventional fencing of at least 4 ft in height. This means
chain link or stockade type fencing (no invisible fence, stone
walls or post and rail) Please NO children under
the age of 8 years for our young puppies You must be 21 years of age to legally adopt a dog from us since it requires signing a contract.
YOU MUST FILL OUT THE APPLCATION BEFORE VISITING THE ANIMAL OF INTEREST. This process can take up to
two weeks so if you are looking for instant gratification don't
bother filling out an application. We are all volunteers with
"real" jobs, foster dogs, fundraising activities and
family lives. If you are not serious about adopting and are
only window shopping - don't waste a rescue groups' time and we
won't waste yours. Also be courteous and if you have applications
on several puppies in several places please let all parties know
this information as it does make a difference in the decision making process. Who We Are
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on
helping the animals at the town municipal pound in Mansfield, CT. We raise
money in efforts of helping the pets at the shelter have a better life
while they are waiting for a new, loving home. Our goal in the future is
to see the shelter improved by rebuilding or renovation.
Adopting A Friend
We also have a very small program of rescue dogs that are
privately fostered by area homes. We have an occasionally pup or two that
is rescued from a kill shelter in another area or state. We have an
adoption process that includes application, interview, vet reference, home
visits and then finally meeting the animal. Otherwise our main focus is to
get the dogs from our local pound into new homes....you can see the
available dogs at the shelter: Mansfield
