Adopt a Terrier in Connecticut

Terrier mixes vary widely but tend to share the bold, energetic, tenacious temperament the group is known for. Many are pulled from Southern shelters where small mixed terriers are abundant. A rescued terrier mix is typically scrappy, smart, and deeply loyal.

Connecticut's rescue dog community runs largely on transport from Southern shelters, with most local shelters relatively low-volume. Networks in Hartford, New Haven, and Stamford bring in dogs that would otherwise be euthanized elsewhere. A rescued Connecticut dog has often traveled a long way to find a home.
