SERVING THE GREATER NEW MILFORD AREA SINCE 1965
Just as sweet as the treat she's named for - Cannoli enters the stage! Cannoli is a darling three year old 65 pound, shepherd mix who came up to us from the south. She's got lots of love to give and would love a family to share it with. She has been spayed and is up to date with all vaccines. Cannoli loves to be outside to romp and play or to go for a nice walk on leash. Of course she knows how to mix play and leisure and is perfectly content to come nap in a comfy spot when the fun is done. This girl will make an excellent addition to a home and is sure to bring so much joy- all she needs is a chance!

Prancer is a 44 pound Blue eyed, 9 year old spayed female Lab mix. Prancer came to us after her owner passed away and no family member could care for her. She is gentle and kind. She loves human interaction and would love to spend the rest of her senior years in a fur-home that is on the quieter side as she can get anxious with loud noises, and quick movements. She does enjoy playtime in our yard and long walks. Prancer would do fine in a home with cats, and a mild mannered, easy going dog.

Adam's a 2 yr old Rottweiler mix who wiggles and plays, sits like a gentleman, and goes everywhere with a plushy cheese! Although he LOVES everyone he knows - as you might expect, he's wary of strangers and it takes him longer to warm-up to men.

Michael is a 8 year old Beagle mix, he was found as a stray in Puerto Rico with his brother Mike. He is a gentle senior boy who has been with us for quite some time. He is a shy guy, but in time he does warm up, and that in its self is really rewarding. He does find comfort in the company of his brother Michael.
Michael enjoys walks, and playtime in the yard. He does require a fish only diet as he has food allergies.
He and his is brother Mike are a bonded pair, so they will be required to be adopted out together.
The ideal home for these bonded brothers is one where they will be the only pet in the home, no cats. And a fenced in yard would be most suitable.

Sweet, but very shy, Butter Pecan is a 45 lb five-year-old spayed lab mix who was flown up from Puerto Rico around two years ago. Building trust with Butters is a slow, but rewarding process. During her time at the shelter, she's grown more and more comfortable with our volunteers and staff to the point where she's begun to accept affection and gets excited when she notices us arrive, so we're confident that while it will be a long process of working with her, she has the capacity to be a very loving dog.

Steele is an affectionate and rowdy four year old male staffy mix. He has lots of energy and would do great in an active household willing to work with him on the basics of being a dog. He'll need some obedience and leash training to become a good canine citizen. He enjoys the company of other dogs but they need to match his rough and rowdy playstyle and would do best in a home without cats. Steele weighs in at about 45 pounds and is neutered and up to date with his vaccines. This muscly meathead would make a wonderful dog for a household looking for some rough and tumble fun, ready to accept his goofiness in full.

Gideon is a 6 year old neutered male who was found as a local stray. Friendly, energetic, and sweet, Gideon is a fun dog who enjoys going on walks and romping around in the yard. He loves a good blanket and sometimes scares the staff by snuggling so deep into a comforter that we don't realize he's there! Gideon has a food allergy and will need to be on a strictly fish-based diet, but he's not picky with his food and has been more than happy with the adjustment. He could live with a dog-savvy cat and is selective about other dogs, so he may do best with a canine companion content to leave him alone.

Waylon is a young and chipper hound mix! He's about six months old and is happy to experience all life has to offer. Waylon is a good puppy with a drive to learn. He is very food motivated, which is a huge help with training any dog. He enjoys all sorts of hound-like activities, such as leading the way on a walk with his nose to the ground, or running free to sniff in a fenced in yard. Waylon is a very confident dog, but he gets along fine with other dogs and is appropriately curious about cats. Waylon would make an EXCELLENT addition to any home and may just be the dog for you!
