Another Shot is dedicated to raising awareness for disabled, neglected and abused animals.

We strive to provide great-tasting coffee that supports our furry friends! By supporting Another Shot Coffee Roaster, you are providing a dog with Another Shot at life. We work with animal rescues around Connecticut to help their animals find good homes. By ordering a bag of coffee, we will donate 5% of that sale to a local shelter in need. Another Shot wants to show you that every animal is worth your time and love, regardless of their past.

In Loving Memory

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I share the sad news of Sage's passing. On November 16th, 2024, Sage was rushed to the ER. She passed at 4 am in the arms of her loving parents. Sage was such a bright star in my life and anyone she encountered. Her story of resilience, hope, love, courage, perseverance, and slobber shows that any animal is worth loving and capable of giving it back.

When Sage was found, no one knew how long she had. She has shown everyone that if you are determined, you can get through anything.

She is the reason Another Shot Coffee exists and I hope her story continues to inspire and give the strength to other potential pet parents to take the leap and save a dog that is similar to her.

A message from Luca to Sage:

Sage, I miss you. i miss waking up next to you, I miss eating breakfast with you, i miss working alongside you. You are and always will be everything to me. I will forever see you run your goofy run to your ball or carry your leash and play tug of war with me on the beach. You taught me valuable lessons and unlocked something in me that I didn't even know I had. Thank you for being in my life, thank you for trusting me when you didn't trust anyone else, thank you for being the best dog I've ever had, thank you for being so unapologetically you. I wish things were different, but I think you knew when it was your time to go.

I love you with all of my heart Sage, until we meet again.

Love,

Your Dad

About All About The Dogs: 

It is so easy to fall into a pattern of apathy as we go through our lives. Our mission is to save as many dogs as we possibly can. If we could we would save all of them. Innocent dogs are being put down in astounding numbers every day and we, along with countless other rescues, are scrambling to save them. Shelters and rescues are at their limit across the country and we are doing everything we can to help these deserving dogs to find the forever homes that they truly deserve. 

We do this because in a world that feels like it's falling apart, we know the true value of walking into a home and seeing your best friend so excited and ready to see you makes all of your worries melt away. These dogs have done nothing wrong and they shouldn't be punished for the actions of others. Help us help them by applying to foster, by volunteering, and by adopting.

About Army's Legacy:

Army was the Armstrong Family’s beloved Rottweiler, lost too soon. He passed of cancer at the age of five. Army was special, not only to the family but to all who met him.
When Army was diagnosed with cancer, Amanda contacted the breeder to let him know. Any responsible breeder would want this information, but this one could not care less. It was an enlightening moment for Amanda and one that helped cement her commitment to founding Army’s Legacy Rescue and Sanctuary.

An animal becomes a Legacy™ the moment they become involved with Army’s Legacy. Forever. Once given a title of Legacy, our precious Legacies will never again be abused, neglected, or discarded. That Legacy is ours to protect and even after becoming a loved member of your family, remains part of our family forever.

About Saving Paws: 

Saving Paws, originally called The M.A.C. Pack, was founded in 2011. Initially it was a small-dedicated group of private citizens helping the animals in the Meriden pound to get extra vet care and visibility via Facebook and PetFinder to promote adoptions. This successful group has flourished over the last five years and recently reorganized as a 501(c)(3) Public Charity under the new name of Saving Paws. The new name reflects the future plans to support not only Meriden's animals and community but all Connecticut based municipalities and rescue organizations. Saving Paws' efforts have helped save and re-home over a 2000 animals in just five years! Saving Paws also created a new pound environment that is comforting and friendly to both animals and adopters. The new environment helps the animals cope with the stress of kennel life and also puts adopters and visitors at ease because it is obvious to anyone who visits our facility that our animals are loved and cared for. It’s a tough situation, but we do the very best we can and our continued success is proof that our efforts are working!

Meet Luca

Hello! I am Luca Pietrangeli, Founder of Another Shot Coffee Roasters. My love for coffee started out in 2016 on a trip to Vermont with my dad. When I was younger, I would always load my coffee with sugar. My dad would always tell me to not put so much, my response was to get better coffee. Since the Vermont trip, I no longer add sugar to my coffee. I learned the flavor profiles of coffee and grew an appreciation for it. I decided to start Another Shot to fuel my passion for helping animals in need. I rescued my Rottweiler, Sage, who was quadriplegic at the time of adoption. Through her I learned what hard-work, dedication, love and support can do. Not every animal is given Another Shot at life and I made it my goal to ensure that I can give that second chance.

Sage

This is Sage, a Rottweiler with a big heart and determination. In December of 2020, Sage was found in a snow bank at a park unable to move. She was brought to Meriden Animal Hospital where they ran tests and took x-rays to see what was wrong. They fed her and enrolled her in physical therapy. It is still unknown what caused Sage's condition but through her determination, she rebounded and lives the happiest life. 9 months into her physical therapy, she began to plateau and through unusual circumstances was adopted. We continued physical therapy and in 2022 she graduated! Another Shot Coffee Roasters is to honor Sage and her story and provide animals Another Shot at life. Sage passed on November 16th, 2024 surrounded by love.

Mystic

This is Mystic, a lab mix with the best personality. There is no other dog quite like Mystic. She treats Sage like any other dog. Mystic was the first dog we ever got and we could not have asked for a better pup. Mystic is from Alabama and came from a rescue, to our knowledge she has a scar from being bit by another dog when she was a puppy. Mystic was a guiding light for Sage during her rehabilitation. She would motivate Sage in a way no person could. She would take toys that Sage wanted and run around with them to try and get Sage to chase after her. When Sage first came home and within the first week of being with us, we already saw a change. Mystic provided Sage with the much needed therapy outside of her appointments.

Barbeque (BBQ)

This is Barbecue, in June of 2023 he was found in the street unable to move and barely alive. After being taken to the hospital, it was found that he was severely subtemp and had a neck injury that caused him to not be able to walk. We took him home and knew that we needed to give him a shot at life just like we did with Sage. With physical therapy at home and a lot of love and dedication, BBQ is your typical crazy cat, romping around our house. He's learned a lot from his crazy canine sisters and loves playing with them.
