German Shepherd Dog and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in New Fairfield, Connecticut

Meet Tot - Tiny Body, CEO Energy.

Tot may only be 12-15 pounds, but she is operating on a much larger scale internally.

She has opinions.
She has goals.
She has absolutely no problem letting you know when something is not up to her standards.

Wrapped in that adorable shepherd mix package is a pup who is equal parts sweet, sassy, and just a little dramatic (in a way that is extremely funny and not at all inconvenient... most of the time).

Her daily routine includes:
Announcing important updates (loudly)
Playing like it's her full-time job
Crashing hard for a nap like she pays bills

Tot is incredibly affectionate and loves being part of the action. She's the type of dog who wants to be involved in whatever you're doing - whether that's playing, lounging, or just existing.

She's still learning the ropes (because, again, puppy), but she's smart and catching on quickly. With consistency and patience, she's going to grow into one amazing dog.

Adopt Tot - because every household needs a little personality boost.
