Meet the Dogs

Jet came to CT Humane as part of a collaboration with a local animal control partner who had seized him as part of an  investigation.

The big, fluffy senior boy was in pain – three of his nails were torn (and very sore!) and advanced dental disease made it tough to eat. His senior sister Roxxstar had come in, too – Lyme disease and thyroid issues were among the host of problems CT Humane’s veterinary team discovered.

A good Samaritan discovered a paralyzed dog laying in a back patio helplessly barking in Tijuana, Mexico. She posted a video of him covered in flies, laying in the hot sun and unable to move. She spoke with his family and they said Scooby had stopped walking, so they left him outside.

Smokey is an 11-year-old rat terrier who made his way to Pets Alive in New York on a transport mission all the way from Louisiana. While Smokey got a lot of tender loving care from volunteers and staff at Pets Alive, he became very depressed, missing his home and family of so many years.

Seven years ago, Ernie came to Lollypop Farm from another shelter on a life-saving rescue waggin’ from Ohio. He was just a puppy at that time and was adopted into a home quickly.

Snowball is a ten-year-old Shih Tzu mix who was found wandering outside alone and brought into Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) with an infected eye. CACC was not able to give him the medical care he needed, so they turned to our grantee Heartland Animal Shelter about taking in the senior pup.

Coco was surrendered to the Southampton Animal Shelter when his family could no longer care for him. This 11-year-old lab was born to be someone’s loyal companion. Remember Shadow from Homeward Bound? Well, that’s Coco!

When Otis' people noticed he wasn't his usual self, they were quick to bring him into their regular vet. They learned that Otis had bladder stones and they needed to act quickly to save him and relieve his discomfort.

Little Lilly didn't have the happiest beginning to her life and, sadly, her story is very common in rural areas of Virginia. She was bred to be and used as a hunting dog when she was young. Lilly didn't care for hunting much, so she was given away by her first owner.

Mango is eight-years-young and has spent four years of her life side-by-side with her best friend Jewel. Mango and Jewel were transferred to the Norfolk SPCA because, sadly, they were having difficulty getting adopted and getting adopted as a bonded pair due to their ages.

Meet George Clooney! George ended up at the Long Beach Animal Care Services shelter in California as a stray. No one knows how this nine-year-old terrier got loose, but they do know he's a total charmer and ladies' man!

You have to see Gus' transformation to believe it! Just a few months ago, Gus was a ten-year-old stray fighting for his life on the streets of Detroit. 

Tommy is a 10-year-old poodle who is visually impaired and partially deaf. He ended up at the Maricopa County shelter (in AZ) as his owner could no longer care for him.
