Update: Reunited with family!

Do you know where I live?

Ummm… hi. So I may have gotten a little distracted following my nose and somehow ended up on Grannis Street. 🤷‍♂️

I swear I was just following a really interesting smell, and the next thing I knew, I was on an unexpected adventure! Unfortunately I left all my ID and tags at home, whoops! 😂

Now I’m hanging out with the nice people at Animal Control, but I’d really rather be back home with my family!

Does anyone recognize this handsome little beagle? Do you know where I belong?

Please share so we can get this nose-to-the-ground wanderer back home! ❤️🐾

📍 Found on Grannis Street in East Haven

If you know me or know where I live please call the animal shelter at (203)468-3249 💕

🐾❤️ FIVE MONTHS. ONE APPLICATION. STILL WAITING. 💔😢

Meet Tucker! 🐾❤️

This handsome 3–4-year-old Staffordshire Terrier/Pit Bull mix has been waiting FIVE MONTHS at East Haven Animal Shelter for someone to give him a chance.

❤️ Approximately 50–60 pounds
🐾 Neutered and vaccinated
❤️ Heartworm and Lyme negative
🐾 LOVES people, especially kids!
❤️ Loves running, playing, and chasing tennis balls
🐾 Gets along with many dogs, but dominant dogs aren't the right match.

PLEASE don't judge Tucker by how he acts when you see him in his run. ❤️

He may bark and jump, but it's excitement, NOT aggression! He's an energetic boy who just wants to get outside, run, play, and enjoy some attention.

Meet him outside his run, and you'll see the wonderful dog we've come to know and love.

In FIVE MONTHS, Tucker has received just ONE adoption application, and unfortunately, it wasn't the right fit.

Since then? Silence. 💔

Tucker needs an active, loving family willing to give him the exercise, attention, and affection he deserves.

Five months is too long for a dog with this much love to give. Please don't let him keep waiting.

🥳🥳🥳 ADOPTED!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Double the trouble, double the purrs, and DOUBLE the love! ❤️

These two ridiculously adorable little house panthers are Gomez and Fester, two brothers approximately 16–18 weeks old who are looking for their forever home! 🏡🐾

And let me tell you, these boys are something special!

They are extremely friendly, incredibly sweet, affectionate, and full of kitten mischief! They love to play, explore, chase toys, and do all the silly things that make kittens so much fun. When they're not busy being tiny troublemakers, they're busy stealing hearts. ❤️

Gomez and Fester are incredibly bonded, and because of that, THEY MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER! 🖤 These brothers are a package deal, and we wouldn't dream of separating them. After all, what's Gomez without Fester?

🐾 Both boys are:

- ✅ Neutered
- ✅ Vaccinated
- ✅ Tested
- ✅ Dewormed
- ✅ Absolutely adorable
- ✅ Professional heart thieves!

These sweet brothers have their whole lives ahead of them, and we'd love nothing more than to see them spend those lives together in a home filled with love, toys, cozy places to nap, and people to spoil them rotten.

Two kittens. Two personalities. Twice the entertainment. A lifetime of love. 🖤

If you're looking to add a little love, laughter, and playful chaos to your life, Gomez and Fester are ready to meet you!

🏡 BONDED PAIR — MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER!

🥳🥳🥳 ADOPTED!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

🐾💚 **MEET FIG NEWTON… AKA FIGGY!** 💚🐾

🍪 **A little Fig Newton with a whole lot of sweetness!** 🍪

Looking for a little lovebug to snuggle up with? Well, allow us to introduce you to **Figgy!** 🥹❤️

Figgy is an adorable **9–10-year-old Chihuahua mix** who is patiently waiting at the East Haven Animal Shelter for someone to give him the loving forever home he deserves!

💔 **Figgy's story is a little heartbreaking.** This sweet little guy was found roaming all alone and brought to our shelter. We waited and hoped someone would come looking for him, but sadly, no one ever came to claim him. We don't know what his life was like before he arrived, but we do know one thing: **Figgy deserves a future filled with love, comfort, and security.** ❤️

This handsome little gentleman may be a bit shy when you first meet him, but don't let that fool you! Once Figgy realizes you're his friend, his sweet personality starts to shine. ❤️

And if there's one thing Figgy knows how to do, it's **SNUGGLE!** 🥰 This little guy absolutely LOVES burrowing into his cozy blankets, getting all tucked in, and making himself comfortable. As you can see from his pictures, he's practically a professional blanket burrito! 🌯🐶

🐾 **A little more about Figgy:**
- 🐶 Approximately 9–10 years young
- ❤️ Neutered
- 💉 Vaccinated and tested
- 🐕 Seems to do well around other dogs
- 🥹 A little shy at first, but incredibly sweet once he warms up
- 🛏️ Certified blanket enthusiast and professional snuggler!

Figgy isn't asking for much. Just a warm bed, some soft blankets, a little patience, and someone to love him for the rest of his days. ❤️

**Senior dogs have SO much love left to give, and Figgy is no exception!** He may have been overlooked once, but we're determined to make sure he isn't overlooked again.

Figgy's next chapter deserves to be his best one yet. And maybe, just maybe, **YOU are the happy ending he's been waiting for.** 🥹❤️

📍 **East Haven Animal Shelter**
📞 **203-468-3249**

If you think you could be Figgy's forever person, please give us a call!

❤️ **Can't adopt? Please SHARE!** Somewhere out there is a person who needs Figgy just as much as Figgy needs them. Let's help this sweet little guy find his happily ever after! 🐾🏡

🐾💚 MEET MEEP! 💚🐾

8 weeks old and ready to steal your heart! 🥹❤️

This handsome little gentleman is Meep, an adorable 8-week-old male Domestic Shorthair with the sweetest little face and a personality to match!

Meep is an absolute sweetheart who loves attention, affection, and, most importantly, PLAYTIME! 🐱💕 He's a happy, energetic little guy who loves his toys, enjoys being loved on, and has enough kitten energy to keep you entertained for hours.

🐾 A little about Meep:

- 🐱 8-week-old male Domestic Shorthair
- ❤️ Incredibly sweet and affectionate
- 🧶 Very playful, curious, and full of personality
- 💊 Dewormed
- 🔬 F***l tested — NEGATIVE!

🏡 Meep's ideal forever home:

Meep absolutely LOVES to play, so we're looking for a home that already has another young, playful, cat-friendly kitty who can be his best friend, wrestling buddy, and partner in crime! Having a feline companion to grow up with is very important for this little guy.

Meep has so much love to give, and we want to make sure he finds a family who will adore him just as much as he'll adore them. 💚
