Story
Meet Potsie!  Potsie is a very sweet puppy! He is about 5 months old and weighs about 27 lbs. We expect him to be a medium breed mix when grown. We are accepting applications for Potsie now!  This puppy is a typical happy, playful pup that would love to play and snuggle with you!  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! ##2839120##

APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ We must have an application to move forward. (Shayne's Rescue is an affiliate with PetCentralSATX). If there are problems with the website, please email me for help. Whitney a possibly a Border Collie mixed with Red Heeler. DOB 2/1/26; currently about 30# and will probably get to be 45-50#s, best guess. She is the most adorable puppy EVER! She is enthusiastic & confident; curious & playful; and very smart. She has almost mastered walking on a leash and she is good in her crate. She loves car rides. She is mostly quiet in the kennel, except when she needs to do her business! She loves people and dogs of All sizes and ages. Because she is young, we don’t recommend very young children be around her. In her puppy playfulness, she would probably knock the little ones down. Curious, interested in cats but not aggressive. Loves treats so she will be easy to train. She plays with the rope toy or stick with you, but she does not return it yet. She definitely acts goofy when she plays but also loves to snuggle in your lap. This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. You will receive the dog's folder with all the printouts proving the medical treatments received. If you have any questions or would like an e-mail from us as to how all of this works, text me (Terry); identify the dog's name and give me your email address... 210-394-6060. You can also go to our Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/Pet-Central-SATX-866684826744181/ and LIKE us to help us out. After we review your application, we will contact you, and you will have the opportunity to find out more from their foster family or the rescue. If you experience any issues filling out the application you can contact us directly at shaynerescue@gmail.com. This is ONLY if you have problems applying. If you have not applied, you will not receive a response so please only email if you have any issues applying. Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue pup/dog. We firmly believe there is NO breed other than "rescue" for all species. Thank you for being part of the village it takes to save these precious lives.

APPLICATION or INQUIRY...Please email or text me for the e-mail version of our application/inquiry. Currently our application is not working... Terry 210-394-6060..or petcentralsatx@gmail.com. Include dog's name in the inquiry. Jack is a male Shepherd mix, about 5 yrs old. He weighs 45#. He is a good dog... no aggression but also no training. He has been getting some leash training of which he's doing very well. This guy needs to have a companion to take him everywhere, go on hikes, and maybe even swimming. He loves people and is great with other dogs. He does need daily exercise but I’m sure he will calm down after he knows he’s in a forever home and gets his love and exercise every day. He deserves a second chance…he needs someone who believes in him! Check our You Tube Video: https://youtu.be/zawD9-77Oxs This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (4 DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention.

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet. 9/5/26 Still available! Now about 10 weeks old.  8/27/26 Cora These beautiful little babies had such a hard start in life. They were dumped along with their mama in a very remote area in rural Arkansas, next to the river, under a bridge. Their sweet mama did all she could to protect her babies from the wild hogs that frequent the area, and other dangers. She tried her best to produce enough milk to feed them and keep them healthy. We are so proud of her and her efforts to raise her young. Sadly, dogs are not equipped to live in the wild any more. We took that from them long ago. Mama did the best she could, but it cost her dearly. She was starved almost to death. The puppies were slightly underweight but overall in decent condition, which tells us all we need to know about a mother's love for her babies. She gave her all to them. Thankfully, she was rescued along with her babies. These puppies are so sweet and happy! Just having a regular diet and a little affection has made all the difference for them. They are now in a foster home where all of their needs are being met and they are thriving! We believe they are Hound/Border Collie mix. But that is only a guess. There is really no telling what all breeds they have mixed in there. Mama seems to be a squirrel dog or bird dog of some sort. She is a good hunter, which is probably the only thing that allowed her and these babies to survive before they were rescued. These pups are about 9wks old at this time, and they weigh around 10 lbs. They will not be large dogs. We believe they will be a nice medium size, maybe 40-50lbs once grown. They are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on heartworm & flea/tick prevention.   These puppies are located in Arkansas and may be adopted locally, or they can be adopted in the New England states. Transport is available to some New England. Adopter would need to be able to meet our transporter on a Saturday in MD, PA, NJ, or CT.  For questions or more info, email apps.aasr@gmail.com.To apply to adopt, click here:https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.
