In the shelter’s words

Mitzi was owner-surrendered and needed to be moved to a place where she could thrive. This is where CPR comes into her life! Mitzi is the perfect-sized little girl, and we believe she is around 3 years old. She weighs around 48 pounds and is full-grown. She is housetrained and crate-trained. Mitzi needed a lot of TLC and is getting that in her foster home. She is shy at first. Once she gets to know you, she warms up nicely. She has even learned that it is ok to jump up on the couch and snuggle with her foster mommy and other doggies. This girl is very affectionate, and once she knows her person, she will be extremely grateful and lovable. It will take a little longer for her to get to that stage, but once she gets there, WATCH out because it will be forever LOVE from there on out! She loves running and playing with the other foster dogs and does well with others as long as they are not Alpha in nature. Mitzi loves to ride in the car and will take in all the sights with enjoyment. She has mastered walking on a leash and has done so well with it! All she needs to learn is that she will never be mistreated ever again. Some patience and TLC are all this girl needs!! If you are up for the patience Mitzi needs, then she would so ever be grateful for you taking that chance on giving her the life she so desires. Her foster mommy has tons of pictures and videos of her playing with her foster siblings. She even loves to waller in the kiddie pool to cool off in this hot summer heat! She has a new video posted of her playing at the doggie park with another female foster friend and she did well with her. Check it out at https://youtube.com/shorts/R33N3KsgC2c Another video of her riding in the car is at https://youtube.com/shorts/5IILulxoPE4 Mitzi is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. All dogs 6 month + receive a Proheart 6 injection at the time of their heartworm test. This provides heartworm prevention for 6 months from the time of that injection. This dog has tested positive for heartworms, but has received her treatment and is ready to travel to her forever home. The adoption fee is $450 if your adoption is prepaid and final prior to your dog's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on dogs that are picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368. WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you! If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at our 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.
