Avon Adoptions for Dogs
Finding Loving Families for Homeless Dogs
Our Pet List...
Recently Adopted! Meet Scampy a sweet, active, and smart little guy who was fostered in Avon, CT. He was found as a stray. The Dog Warden who called us about Scampy thought he was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel or mix. We're guessing he's a Cavalier Pekingese or Tibetan Spaniel mix, but only DNA will tell:). Scampy has just been placed in a great home!.

This is Coco, a saucy and fun Rat Terrier who we just loved fostering. She was just adopted by a family in New York state and is settling in well with them.
Please note, we are mainly active in national rescue for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed, so if you are interested in that breed, please click here... Cavalier Rescue USA ...to go to the national website. Thank you!
Avon Adoptions is a small non-profit group that works to save the lives of great dogs who are in clear danger of being euthanized if they remain in their present situation. If space permits, we also take in dogs whose owners can no longer keep them. Priority is given to dogs coming from pounds and shelters. While we occasionally have puppies, our focus tends to be on adult dogs. Because we are a small rescue and only in CT half the year (FL the other half), we limit the number of dogs with whom we work. Dogs are fostered as family members in our home, which allows us to assess their personalities, complete medical care, and begin basic training. We do not keep foster dogs in a kennel or shelter type situation, so we only invite families in to meet a dog after they have been pre-screened and determined to potentially be the best match for the pup available. If you are interested in a dog we are currently fostering, please read about "Our Adoption Process" below and then follow the instructions noted for the particular dog. We welcome all inquires, but in placing dogs and pups, we give strong preference to qualified local families and individuals (those who live within a 2-3 hour drive of where the dog is being fostered).
Adoption requirements vary because each dog has individual needs that we seek to meet (i.e. some dogs love other dogs, some don't; some need a fence, some don't; some are fine left alone during the day, others are not; and so on). Our goal is to match good dogs up with individuals and families who can provide them with a loving home and a wonderful life.
Please note that we rarely adopt small dogs to families with very young children as young children often view small pets as toys and can be overly rough, resulting in either an excessively shy dog or one who is snappy.
Here are pictures of a few of the great dogs we've had the pleasure of adopting into loving new homes...
Katie Mae is a sweet little aussie terrier mix girl who was delightful to foster and now has a family to call her own. Celia, a sweet, active, small Shepherd mix was adopted by neighbors/now friends of her foster family.

This is Reggie who is a Cockapoo boy. He's very friendly, active, playful, and sweet.
Max is a Corgi boy who is friendly, active, and cute as all get out:). He's been adopted to a new family which includes another Corgi and a Bernese Moutain Dog and he's doing well. Next to him is Huey, now known as Moose, a sweet and smart little Shih Tzu boy who was a joy to foster. He's got a great home, and we couldn't be more pleased for him!

Pixie is a sweet little dog who we loved having in foster care. Chrissie, the sweet little Cocker Spaniel, came to us emaciated. She's now living the life in Central Park West:). Fritz, the Samoyed, is a wonderful boy. We've never met a dog who loved toys more than Fritz!

We keep our petfinder home page and pet list up to date, usually updating our pages on a daily basis. We even enlist our foster dogs in this effort:). This means that you don't need to call or write to ask if the pets listed are available--what's written is up to date. Here is Sassy, now adopted, updating her information...
