My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Benny, a super cute young adult neutered male Maltese mix, weighing about 10 lbs! Benny and Bianca came to us as local intakes when a Good Samaritan contacted us after finding them both roaming the streets in very poor condition. They were underweight and riddled with fleas. The Good Samaritan tried to find their owner but no one claimed them, and he was not in a position to keep them, so we took them into rescue and got them up to date on vetting.



Bianca was found to be pregnant a short time later and is due to give birth in January 2026, so she will not be available until her puppies are weaned and she is spayed. But Benny is ready to find his furever family and put his past behind him!



Benny is a friendly, sweet boy who loves everyone and just wants to be your BFF! He is very playful and enjoys running around with the other dogs in his foster home. He also loves to cuddle! This boy is a total love who does not have a mean bone in his body  He is good with other dogs, cats, people, and kids. 



Benny is medically up to date, housebroken, and crate trained. Apply to meet this special boy today!



**Benny will not be available until our 1/11/26 adoption event at Petco in Dayville, CT. We are accepting applications on him now! We will prioritize applicants who are able to attend the 1/11 event. If Benny is not adopted at the event, we will move on to other applicants.**

Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs.  We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted.  As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding!

We work with our adopters to make sure they are supported, and the process is as stress free as possible. We are a 501(c)(3) non profit rescue, that is run by volunteers.

Currently we are NOT adopting to residents of MASSACHUSETTS OR MAINE. We will update our website when we are able to serve those areas. Thank you!
