Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Stratford, Connecticut

Ruffalo was recently found roaming and arrived at the shelter in heartbreaking condition. His coat was matted from head to toe with mats several inches thick, making it clear he had not been cared for in quite some time. He is also missing one eye and was in pretty rough shape when he first came to us.

Despite everything he has been through, Ruffalo has proven to be an incredibly resilient and sweet dog. After a much-needed grooming and veterinary care, he is now all cleaned up and looking like a completely different pup.

Ruffalo is about 1 year old, neutered, negative for disease, and microchipped. Most importantly, he is very friendly and has a wonderful personality. We are still getting to know him, but so far he has shown himself to be a gentle, affectionate dog who would make an excellent companion.

Ruffalo has already come a long way. Now he just needs a family who will give him the love and care he always deserved.
