Adopt A Dog From The Pound

The following dogs are available for adoption from the Newtown pound, which is located at the end of Ethan Allen Road (behind the transfer station).

MORGAN is a 4 year old neutered male German Shepherd. He is tan and black and weighs in at 106 pounds. He is very intelligent and easy to handle. Loves to play fetch and will keep it up for hours if you are able to keep up with him. He is a dominant male and may not be a good candidate if there are other dogs in the home. Cats would be a no no also! Morgan would do well with older children but any potential owner would have to consider his imposing size in relation to smaller children. Morgan is ready for a good home and will reward his new owners with years of loyalty and devotion.

DANTE is a 3 year old neutered Pit bull. He is black with a white chest. All four paws are also white. This very handsome guy weighs 72 pounds. Dante is a powerful dog but also easy to handle. He likes people, other dogs, and would do well with children. He seems eager to please and his young age makes him an ideal candidate to learn whatever new things a new owner would like to teach him. His short-haired coat makes him easy to care for and nicely displays his well-developed body.
