Border Collie puppies and dogs in Connecticut

Sharky Kiss and Tell has a very misleading name for a boy whose favorite activity is giving kisses. He’s loving, snuggly, and happy to get close enough to make sure you know it. And he is so handsome! His mostly black coat has a little white with soft, medium-long fur, and the cutest brown tufts around his ears. Those little details deserve an up-close inspection, which Sharky will happily accommodate in exchange for some smooches. Go watch Sharky on YouTube to see this handsome boy making friends and handing out kisses. Copy and paste his YouTube link into your browser: https://youtu.be/JGXgP2j6p8c Sharky is estimated to be just shy of two years old and weighs approximately 40 pounds. We believe he’s a Border Collie mix, though his breed and age are our best guesses. He does seem to have read at least a few pages of the Border Collie handbook, especially the chapter about playing with other dogs. He is great with dog friends and loves a good game of chase, whether he’s doing the chasing or inviting someone to come after him. His play can include some little nips as everyone runs around—a familiar habit for many herding dogs. A playful buddy who enjoys that style would be a lovely match, and his people should be comfortable guiding those herding tendencies as he settles into their home. With people, Sharky is all affection. He loves to snuggle and give kisses, so plan on making a little room beside you when it’s time to relax. He has plenty of fun to share with his dog friends, but getting loved on is very much part of his daily agenda. Sharky is also a wonderful car companion and has good leash skills. Seeing another dog on a walk can get him excited, but we found that excitement very manageable. Continued practice will help him keep polishing those skills. From what we observed, he is house and crate trained, giving him a nice foundation for life with his new family. If you love an affectionate dog with a playful streak and a smart-dog personality, Sharky would love to be yours. Fair warning: he may skip the formal introductions and go straight to a kiss.

Frisbee is about 3 months and 15 pounds of snuggly love Have you heard? Life is so much more fun when you have a puppy! 🐾 We keep you entertained, make you laugh, and make sure there’s never a dull moment. I’m ready for playtime, snuggles, and all kinds of adventures. Come on, pick me! We could be besties! ❤️🐶 This puppy Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. Visit our website to see our weekend Events here! Pups with the designated “meet me” next to their names are in CT and ready to attend adoption events. Please check with your adoption coordinator if you are interested in a specific dog prior to coming to an event, as a dog's availability to attend can change at any time. We can not guarantee approval on site at the events, so we recommend applying ahead of time. You can apply at the event, but the application process may not be able to be completed the same day. If you are not pre-approved, you are still welcome to come and meet pups at the event! The adoption fee is $600 which includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, and the mandatory CT HB 5368 fee. More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds.

Meet Fonzie!  Fonzie is a very sweet, smart neutered puppy! He is about 5-6 months old and weighs about 30 lbs. We expect him to be a medium breed mix when grown. We are accepting applications for Fonzie now! His foster said, "Fonzie is such a good boy! He is great with other dogs and cats! He is house trained. He is super smart and very playful!" Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt 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! ##2860911##
