Terrier and Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in New Haven, Connecticut

Veggie is such a sweet, silly, and fun boy! He is around 55lbs of pure love and is likely anywhere from 1-2 years old. He is a friendly boy and is great with other dogs. He absolutely loves toys, lounging around, and play time. Veggie is gentle, enjoys being scratched and petted, and likes to play with toys both alone, or with you. Veggie was found stray and landed in a high kill shelter and we pulled this sweet boy off the euthanisia list!
Veggie’s bio:
Looking for a dog who greets you like you’ve been gone for 400 years, then immediately passes out on your feet like nothing happened? Look no further.
Veggie is a compact, muscle-with-a-heart-of-gold who has somehow figured out that humans are the best thing that ever happened to him — and he will absolutely tell you this with his entire body the moment he sees you.
The Highlights Reel:
    •    🦮 On leash, Veggie is basically a professional. Seriously. He walks so nicely you’ll feel like the two of you trained for this together.
    •    🏠 Crate trained — which means he has a bedroom and he respects it. Personal space king.
    •    🧠 Genuinely, concerningly smart. Veggie figured out his foster’s dog door in under an hour. One hour. He is also highly treat-motivated, which means training him should be a breeze — as long as you remember who’s really running the show.
    •    🐶 Polite with other dogs, in that reserved, “I don’t know you yet but I’m willing to find out” kind of way. He’s not rude — he’s just a slow-burn friend. Worth the wait.
    •    💧 Water curious. We have video evidence of Veggie voluntarily entering a pool. He did not fully commit but he DID investigate, and that kind of intellectual curiosity deserves a home.
    •    ⚡ Medium energy — the Goldilocks of dogs. Not a couch potato, not a tornado. He’ll zoom, he’ll settle, he’ll become a permanent attachment to your lower leg by evening.
The only thing Veggie is missing is a family. Could be yours. He’s already practicing his “welcome home” sprint.
Veggie is potty trained in his current setting, good on car rides, and great for his bath, grooming and blow dry! He’s a true gem. He will make a wonderful addition to a lucky family!

Veggie is up to date on vaccines, neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and on flea and tick preventatives.
