From a cat on a weight-loss journey, to a pitbull mix with special needs. These animals deserve a loving, patient home.

Check out more on the animals up for adoption at the Connecticut Humane Society and Inky Blue Animal Rescue.

Connecticut Humane Society

LACEY (6 years old)

This pretty girl is looking for a loving home! She’s currently available in Newington and is looking for a family who can support her in her weight loss journey.

She’s a bit overweight right now, but a little bit of playtime and reduction of snacks will do her well.

Lacy is a very sweet girl who just needs a little bit of time to open up. She’ll do well with kids who are gentle and respectful of pets, and she would likely enjoy living with another cat or dog or both! 

DESMOND (6 years old)

Desmond is a calm, sweet guy who enjoys a little exercise each day and would be happy living in a home of any size, including an apartment.

Because of his size and strength, he’d prefer to live with kids 12 or older who have experience with larger dogs. A meet-and-greet with everyone in the household is required.

Desmond has some experience with other dogs, too, so a doggy meet-up will be part of the adoption process as well. He also has a few special needs, but don’t let that fool you—this handsome pup still has so much life to live and love to give.

Bruno is a handsome, healthy 8-year-old Husky with a gentle heart and an affectionate, easy going personality.

Raised alongside three children, he is well-socialized, house-trained, and well-behaved.

Bruno would thrive as the only dog in a loving home where he can enjoy plenty of attention and companionship.
