ANGEL

J & W

These two beautiful girls are believed to be Italian Greyhound mixes who were found abandoned on English Street in New Haven. They arrived to us severely underweight, and it appears they are also dealing with skin and ear infections. Despite everything they’ve endured, both Bean and Sprout have shown nothing but gentle, sweet, and loving temperaments.

They will be receiving the full medical care they need as we help them heal, regain strength, and begin their journey toward a brighter future.

If you recognize Bean or Sprout
or have any information about their past,
please contact
The Robin I. Kroogman New Haven Animal Shelter
📞 203-946-8110

To help us with Bean and Sprout's care, please Donate.

Thank you for helping us advocate for these girls and for being part of their story.

❤️ Meet Pirate! ❤️

🏴‍☠️ Meet Pirate
– Your Future First Mate! 🐾

Pirate is a ~2-year-old Pitbull with a heart of gold and just the right amount of mischievous charm to keep life interesting. Pulled from a Connecticut municipality, this handsome boy is ready to drop anchor in a forever home where he can truly shine.

Pirate is a smart cookie—he’s already potty trained, non-destructive, and eager to learn. With a little polishing on his manners, he’s going to be an absolute rockstar companion. He’s the kind of dog who wants to get it right… and maybe earn a treat or two along the way 😉

When he’s not practicing his good-boy skills, Pirate loves:

⚓ Long walks (adventure awaits!)

⚓ Chasing his ball like buried treasure

⚓ Chewing on his beloved Kongs

⚓ Snuggling up with his humans after a long day at sea

Pirate is a social guy who loves both men and women, and we think he’ll do great with dog-savvy kiddos who understand his playful spirit. We’ll be completing his dog test this weekend and will update everyone on his dog compatibility as soon as we know. At this time, we’re unsure how he feels about cats.

All in all, Pirate is looking for a crew to call his own—a home where he can continue learning, adventuring, and soaking up all the love he deserves.

Ready to make Pirate your loyal sidekick? Apply to adopt!

❤️ Meet Katie! ❤️

Katie is a stunning 2–3 year old Catahoula mix who spent far too long at a Connecticut shelter after being dumped on the streets. Despite her rough start, this girl has an incredible spirit and a deep love for her people.

Katie is strong, active, and athletic—she thrives with structure, exercise, and engagement. She bonds closely with her human and is fiercely loyal. Because of her energy level and personality, Katie is looking for an experienced, active home that understands working or high-drive breeds.

Katie loves car rides, playing fetch, going for long hikes, and most of all cuddling after a long day of playing.

She must be the only pet in the home—no other dogs or cats. A fenced yard is ideal so she can safely run and burn off energy, though it’s not a deal breaker for the right committed family who will meet her needs.

This girl is not just beautiful—she’s gorgeous, inside and out, and ready for a fresh start with someone who will give her the life she deserves.

❤️ Meet Nala! (aka Nalineeeeee!) ❤️

If you’re searching for a loyal sidekick with superhero-level smarts and a sprinkle of goofy charm… look no further. Nala is ready to upgrade your life!

This gorgeous 4–5 year old Border Collie/Pittie mix was rescued after being abandoned in New Haven — but she’s left those sad days far behind. Now she’s all about joy, adventure, and making humans smile! She’s smart, athletic, and ready to impress you with all her tricks and good manners.

Nala is all about fun! She loves play fetch for hours, go hiking, splashing in the water, and soaking up every ounce of love from her humans. She’s happiest when she’s by your side — whether you’re out on an adventure or chilling at home.

Nala is a One-and-Only Princess

She prefers all the love, snacks, and attention to herself — no other pets needed because this girl’s got enough love for your entire household.

If you’re ready for sun-soaked adventures, movie-night cuddles, and a best friend who thinks you hung the moon… Nala is soooo your girl.

Come meet the one-of-a-kind Nalineeeee!

We promise she’ll steal your heart faster than you can say “treat?”

❤️ Meet Loki! ❤️

Our Special Thanks to

Loki's ANGEL

Hikes With Steve LLC

This big, American Bulldog X handsome boy joined us from a Connecticut shelter, and he is more than ready to finally find the forever home he deserves.

Loki’s story began heartbreakingly — he was abandoned on the side of the road in Connecticut during a rainstorm, left with nothing but his bed. He spent many long months waiting in the shelter before Army’s Legacy stepped in and pulled him to safety. Loki has now been with us for several months, and while he is safe, cared for, and gets plenty of attention, kennel life is not where he will thrive long-term. This boy needs a home.

Loki is a 96-pound gentle giant who absolutely loves people and appears to enjoy the company of other dogs (cats are still unknown). He is strong, active, and eager to learn — especially when treats are involved! Loki has no signs of aggression and a genuine desire to please, but he will need a big-breed–savvy handler who can provide structure, guidance, and consistency. Because he doesn’t quite realize how big he is, older, animal-savvy kids would be best.

Loki would thrive in a home with plenty of space, whether that’s a farm or a large yard where he can run, burn energy, and just be a dog. With patience, training, love, and time, Loki will blossom into an incredibly loyal and devoted companion.

He’s waited long enough. Shelter life is not for Loki — he needs out, and he needs a family of his own.

❤️ Meet Clifford! ❤️

❤️ aka Clifford the Big Red Dog ❤️

Our Special Thanks to

Clifford's ANGEL

Colin Capparelle

Clifford is a young male, suspected to be a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, approximately 1–1.5 years old. His journey to us was not an easy one. Clifford spent several days roaming the streets of Connecticut, alone, scared, and unsure of where to turn. It took multiple attempts and tremendous patience from local animal control officers before he could be safely brought in. By the time help reached him, he was a shell of himself — underweight, shut down, and unsure if humans could be trusted at all.

During his first weeks in the shelter, Clifford was also battling a severe case of Giardia, which contributed to his rapid weight loss and poor condition. But even then, beneath the fear and uncertainty, there was a spark — a dog who wanted to try, who wanted to believe that humans could be safe.

That spark is what Army’s Legacy stepped in to nurture.

From the moment Clifford arrived, the real work began. Slowly, gently, and with patience, our volunteers earned his trust. We built routine, structure, and safety — and he bloomed. The progress was slow and steady then, and still requires patience today, but oh is it worth it. Clifford now makes us laugh daily with his quirky, goofy personality and melts us with sweetness we once only hoped we’d see.

Today, Clifford has a clean bill of health, is recently neutered and microchipped, and is officially ready for the next chapter — a forever home.

Clifford would thrive with someone who understands that trust is earned through patience, consistency, and love. A quieter home would be ideal, and whoever opens their heart to him will gain a once-in-a-lifetime companion. There is truly no other dog quite like him.

We will be dog-testing him soon, but early signs suggest that he may be dog-friendly.

❤️ Meet Maggie! ❤️

From Maggie's foster:

Maggie’s playful side has come out in full, and while she is still happy to lounge with me, when she’s feeling the energy she really needs to get it out.

She’s mostly pretty chill, but sometimes she gets the zoomies and can be pretty intense with the jumping and play-biting— I’ve been working on discouraging this, and she seems to be getting better about it, but it is something to be aware of.

She LOVES playing in the water from the hose. I have discovered she likes strawberries and raspberries, but not blueberries! I do have to make sure she’s supervised most of the time, because if she gets bored she will chew stuff, including shoes and baseboards. Potty-training is still a work in progress, but it’s coming along. She seems to understand the word “potty” and will usually do her business on command, unless she’s distracted.

Maggie has “sit” down really well, “come here” pretty well, and we’re making progress with “lay down” and “heel.”

We introduced her to a few people— she’s a little nervous at first, but if they have treats and don’t come on too strong she warms up before too long. She definitely responded better to being introduced outside.

She met a few other dogs as well and seemed to want to be friends with them, but we didn’t really get to see how that would go since they weren’t too interested.

She attempted to chase a cat and a groundhog, so might be best if potential adopters don’t have smaller animals.

❤️ Introducing
our Angel girl,
Belle ❤️

Our Special Thanks to

Belle's ANGEL

Hikes With Steve LLC

This sweet, emaciated, wounded, shutdown, exhausted girl was found roaming the streets of New Haven, Suspected to have been dumped and abused.

She happened to have ran out from underneath the car, right in front of a home with some wonderful people in it, who did the right thing by contacting New Haven animal control. After officers went out to look into what was going on, Armys Legacy was contacted and was given permission to take this girl to a safe place to give her much needed TLC and LOVE.

A huge shout out to Officer Lopez and all of the amazing ACOs over at New Haven Animal Control. Thank you for trusting us and being willing to work beside us for the greater good of our CT animals.

After a thorough evaluation we have determined that Belle is most likely fully deaf, she is severely emaciated, she has open wounds on her back - paws - and legs, and she is over all very fearful, which we completely understand.

For now, we are letting Belle get some much needed rest (it took her all of 10 seconds to curl up in her bed and fall asleep) and we will be setting up her vet appointment for as soon as possible.

We will continue to post updates about our sweet new girl!

Thank you to ALL of our supporters!
Because of you, we can help dogs

like Belle...
like Annie...

❤️ Meet Roxy! ❤️

Roxy’s Story – Waiting for Her Forever

Abandoned in an area of North Stonington known heartbreakingly as a dumping ground, Roxy’s story almost ended before it began. She barely made it out of the shelter—her spirit just wasn’t made for that kind of life. But fate had other plans.

On December 30th, it will mark one year since Army’s Legacy Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc. pulled her from that shelter and placed her into the loving care of her incredible foster, Meg Herily. And while Roxy has blossomed and learned what it means to be safe, she’s still waiting for one thing—a forever home to call her own.

Roxy is a 2–3-year-old Rottweiler/Shepherd mix, the perfect blend of beauty, brains, and loyalty. She’s very intelligent, active, and treat-motivated, always eager to learn and please the people she loves. Once she trusts you, she’s all heart—loyal, affectionate, and full of life.

She does best with slow introductions to new people and may do well with dogs after proper intros. Cats are a no-go for this girl.

How this amazing soul doesn’t have a home yet is truly beyond us.
Roxy has come so far, and now she’s ready for the next chapter—
a family who will love her for the rest of her days.

If you’ve got room in your heart and home for a truly special dog, Roxy is waiting.
