Our vet has recommended that all dogs under 6 months not to spay or neuter the pups because they are too young and their bodies are not fully developed.  Adoption donation includes transport and all vaccinations, except for the Lyme—therefore, the dogs will not need to get any vaccinations for the first year. COMING TO CT SOON

ADOPTED ON 03-31-18 – This sweet little girl is named Addie. She is a 12 week old, black Chihuahua / Dachshund Mix who was picked up on a road, where she had been abandoned, by a wonderful woman who could not bear to see her homeless and all alone. All too often dogs, especially puppies, are dumped and abandoned because of careless, heartless people who think “someone else will deal with it”. Well, these “its” happen to be wonderful and loving dogs that make extraordinary additions to deserving families when given half a chance. Addie is no exception. Her sweet personality and happy-go-lucky attitude was luckily not affected by this unfortunate situation, and she will go on to make a family thrilled to have her.

Addie is a typical puppy. She likes to play. She plays with everything and everyone, including the other dogs, cats, kittens and children. Her foster mom says she is smart and is learning the house rules quickly, and really just enjoys getting lots of love and attention. Again, Addie is a puppy. She is active, and loves to do puppy things, so she needs a family that will commit to taking the time to be patient and loving with her. She is curious and loves to check everything and everyone out. Addie is great with young children, and is learning how to walk on a leash, although she would much prefer a good game of tug-o-war or a loving snuggle! All of our rescues seem to understand instinctively that they were lucky to cross paths with a caring person who helped them out in a bad situation. This makes them extra special when they go to a loving home. They have huge hearts and excel in fulfilling that role as a companion and family member. Addie is looking for her forever home to step into that role. Will you be that special someone that opens your home to Addie?


This dog cannot be adopted to Massachusetts residents due to new laws regarding rescue dogs being prohibited from adoption. Please contact Patricia Cabral at: 617-626-1786 or Mike Cahill at: 617-626-1794 for questions regarding what dogs you are allowed to adopt 

ALL interested adopters MUST complete an application; agree to a vet reference check, phone interview and home visit. ALL family members MUST be in attendance for home visits – no exceptions. This helps us get to know everyone in the family so that we can help find the right dog for you 

Disclaimer: Please note that the breeds posted on our dogs’ biographies are our best guess based on years of working with rescue dogs. Adopters who need to know the exact breed or mix of breeds of a particular dog must have the dog’s DNA tested at their own expense.

PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO CHECK OUT THE SECTION BELOW

RDVG wants to provide you with as much information as we can because some of our mix breeds you might not be familiar with. The below section on “About the Breed” offers information on some of the Breed Characteristics, Children & Pets, Behavior and Personality, Temperament and more.

It is important to point out that in addition to the breed, there is an enormous variety in the way a dog acts and reacts to the world around him. In the end, your dog’s preferences and personality are as individual as you are–and if you can accept that– then you’re bound to enjoy each other.

Children & Pets

Animal Behavior Guidelines

Many children, especially very young ones, do not realize that pets are living animals and not toys. Failing to teach a child how to handle pets properly can result in suffering on the part of the pet and, in some cases, injury to the child. Taking introductions slowly will allow you to introduce family dogs and your children safely

Puppy Behavior, Growth & Development

Each stage of Puppy Growth and development is fascinating; by the time it reaches its first birthday a puppy is considered a mature, adult dog. Puppy Growth rate is fast compared to humans, just compare a puppy of 8 weeks to a baby of the same age.

One of the most common questions asked about a puppy’s growth and development rate refers to the eventual size of the puppy. How big will the puppy grow? How can you determine the adult size of a puppy? A young puppy is tiny and cute – everyone loves puppies! But will the puppy be suited to your environment? How much exercise will be required for a full grown dog? Will the puppy be a suitable pet for children? The breed of the puppy will determine the answers to these questions. A general response to the size and growth rate of a puppy and the adult size of a puppy is therefore not possible – it needs to be specific to the puppy’s breed.
