Fred and Penny

Fred and Penny: You'll never meet more gentle and loving dogs!

Fred and Penny came to PAWS after their owner moved to Connecticut and his housing arrangements fell through. It's a very sad situation whenever someone has to give up their dogs because affordable apartments won't accept pets. And it's huge problem in Connecticut. Our shelters are overflowing with pets who would be with their owners, but can't be because foolish management companies either won't allow pets or put ridiculous weight restrictions on which pets could live there.

Fred is an 11-year old Golden Retriever mix, and Penny is a 10-year old Bassett Hound. They are the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet! 

Shower them with cuddles, belly rubs, and kisses, and they'll return the favor for days on end. They love short walks, playing, and just wandering in the back yard enjoying the world's smells. These are low-maintenance dogs, indeed! 

These special love bugs must be adopted together - they've known each other all of their lives and are extremely bonded. All they need is a loving home where they can enjoy their golden years. 

There are so many benefits to adopting an older dog - read some here!

They are neutered/spayed, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and microchipped.
