Story
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##

Some of the most rewarding friendships begin with a little patience, and Lizzie Moon Bloom is a beautiful testament to that. This clever girl possesses a curious spirit, an adorable puppy like play style, and a personality that becomes more captivating the closer you get to her. Watch Lizzie’s video and discover the playful spirit, sweet personality, and special charm that make her one of a kind! https://youtu.be/W1GnpFxWX5M Lizzie is a thoughtful soul who appreciates gentle introductions and the space to build trust naturally. Once she feels secure, her playful side truly shines! She loves nothing more than a game of chase, showcasing an energetic, bouncy style that brings endless entertainment. She is remarkably polite with smaller canine companions, demonstrating lovely manners when sharing toys and treats and has successfully shared a home with a dog savvy cat. True to her heritage, Lizzie is highly intelligent. Her foster parents have done a wonderful job setting her up for success: she is crate trained, has nice leash manners, and already knows basic commands like 'sit' and 'down.' Her ideal forever home will feature a peaceful environment, a securely fenced yard, and a family with older children who can appreciate her spirited, sometimes mouthy play style. If you are ready to give this bright girl a fresh start and watch her confidence blossom, Lizzie is ready to shine with you. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6adf765f22f05c0be705b313 Questions?
