About Stanley

Meet Stanley, a sweet little pup who needs a confident canine companion to show him the ropes. He can be shy and timid, preferring to keep a bit of distance until he feels comfortable. His tail wags non-stop, letting you know he’s interested in forming a bond with you. Stanley is part of an adorable litter born to a stray mom named Nessa. Shortly after arriving at the Connecticut Humane Society, she gave birth to ten puppies, and now he’s thriving in a loving foster home in New England. Before considering adoption, please ensure you’re prepared for all that comes with raising a puppy. Stanley requires time and attention, including socialization and training. He’ll also need those nighttime potty breaks, crate training, and plenty of puppy-proofing around the house. Although he’s still a baby at 9 weeks old and currently weighs about 13 lbs, he’s growing quickly. Stanley gets along well with other dogs and will thrive with a playmate. Plus, he’s open to meeting children aged five and up. Since he’s still a baby, a commitment to consistent training is essential for him to grow into a wonderful adult dog. Don’t wait too long—Stanley and his siblings will be going fast. If you’re excited to welcome a joyful puppy into your home, apply to adopt soon!
