Congo meet me

Congo is about 4 months and 18 pounds of fun and snuggles. At 4 months and 18 pounds, I’d guess he’s probably going to be a medium-sized adult, perhaps roughly 35–45 pounds, though puppy growth can surprise us. Looking at his build along with his age and weight, my strongest guesses would be American Pit Bull Terrier/American Staffordshire Terrier mixed with a smaller terrier-type breed, possibly Rat Terrier, Chihuahua, or Miniature Pinscher. Those spectacular ears are doing some serious work for the small-terrier side of the family. 😂 His narrow frame and finer legs also make me think he isn't going to develop into a particularly large, heavy bully-type dog.

For an adoption listing, we're comfortable calling him a “Terrier mix” rather than trying to pin him to a specific breed. It's accurate enough without promising genetics that we can't actually see. And at 18 pounds now, I'd probably describe him as “expected to be medium-sized when fully grown.” 🐶❤️ Whatever his DNA reveals, we know he's a wonderful boy who will bring a lot of fun, laughs, joy, and happiness ton your life! This puppy Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. Visit our website to see our weekend Events here! Pups with the designated “meet me” next to their names are in CT and ready to attend adoption events. Please check with your adoption coordinator if you are interested in a specific dog prior to coming to an event, as a dog's availability to attend can change at any time. We can not guarantee approval on site at the events, so we recommend applying ahead of time. You can apply at the event, but the application process may not be able to be completed the same day. If you are not pre-approved, you are still welcome to come and meet pups at the event! The adoption fee is $600 which includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, and the mandatory CT HB 5368 fee. More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the 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. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get an automatically generated confirmation email. Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back. After receipt of your application, an adoption counselor will then be in touch to answer your questions about this pup, discuss the adoption process and get the ball rolling! If you h
