Story
Welcome Honey to CCPAL foster Program. Honey is a 3 year old Boxer mixed dog. She is potty trained. We think Honey survived the flood in Kerrville. A good samaritan has taken her in and is giving her good nutrition and love until we find her forever home. She was really scratched up and had a wound on her front left leg. She will be spayed soon and she is going to the vet again for a follow up on her leg. Our guess is it may have gotten broken and healed back on it’s own due to what she has gone through. She is good on a leash, very loving and bonds deeply. She lives with 5 cats right now but she is much too interested and we feel her best home would be without cats. She loves all people and no one is a stranger. She is good with dogs her size and is an energetic girl. Her best home would be with an active and ourdoorsy family that wants a great companion to join them in their outdoor fun. She is looking wonderful and filling out nicely in her new foster home. She lost some muscle around her bum area due to the length of time she was without food. Despite this, she would make an amazing family pet. She would love to be the only dog and be the center of her families attention. She weighs about 40 pounds and is a taller dog but medium weight. She is great in a car and would make a great dog in settings where lots of people are around. She is lower in shedding. She will be getting spayed soon and ready for her forever home. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

Story
Name: Brunhilda Nicknames: Brunee. Hildy. Breed: Boxer/Bulldog mix Weight: 80 lbs of pure kidney-bean swag Age: 2-3 years Doppelgänger: Peter Pan’s Shadow. She's always just a step behind her person. Before OMD: Once a stray, now a survivor with a heart full of love, BrunHilda’s journey took her from the shelter to OMD...and she’s been making hearts melt ever since. Energy Level: Medium-High. She can be both ends of the spectrum honestly. She can lay with you for a few hours on the couch or she'll also play for as long as you'll let her. What we love: She is a gentle soul wrapped in a playful, Boxer-bodied package. Her mesmerizing eyes, adorable bunny-hop bounce, and sweet paw swats make her impossible not to love. She takes treats so delicately you’ll wonder if she even has teeth (she does!). She’s a mix of goofball energy and tender affection—a “bull in a china shop” who apologizes the moment she bumps the china. What she loves: She adores her people, her fur friends, and cozy snuggles. At night, she’ll curl up close - either in her bed beside yours or right against you if you’ll let her. A reassuring pet is all she needs to know she’s safe and you are there. Her least favorite things: She’s learning that car rides are less scary when she figures out balance. Housebroken: She’s housebroken when on a schedule and may have a nervous accident or two when settling in, but patience and love go a long way. Dogs: BrunHilda loves dogs (especially those who can handle her exuberant friendship!) and was a rockstar in playgroup when she was in the shelter. We think she would thrive with a canine companion. Cats: Not sure yet. Kids: Most likely older ones due to her size and zest for life. Favorite song: “The Fate of Ophelia" - because she’s 100 on the land! Brunhilda is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative and microchipped. She is available for adoption to residents of CT, IL and their surrounding states. Please complete an application if interested.

Story
Name: Nisha Nickname: Nish. Baby Nish. Breed: Boxer Age: 2 years Weight: A petite 42 lbs. Before OMD: Found as a (very skinny) stray and did her stray hold at the city shelter. When no one came for her, she joined our crew! Energy Level: Medium-high. Spends a lot of time glued to the couch, but also needs her daily walks, and when the zoomies hit her...take cover! Descriptors: Social. Outgoing. Cuddly. Loving. Silly. Wiggly. Playful. Classic Boxer. Super power: Everyone who meets her falls in love. Love language: Snuggling. Specifically, right on top of you...if she could be one with you, she would. She also shows her love by making sure you never feel alone. No one should have to go to the bathroom alone, after all. What we love most: Her pouty mug. How she insists on gifting you her toys while you're in the shower (yes, depositing them right in the shower)... What she loves most: Keeping an eye (and herself) on her people. Walks. Going to work with her foster dad (a veterinarian!). Shaking her toys vigorously. Peanut Butter. Working on: keeping 4 on the floor. Pulling while on leash (and some reactivity when seeing dogs). Reigning in that Boxer exuberance. Calm state of mind when alone. Kids: Yes, sturdy, dog-savvy kids only though because she is still learning manners and the above noted exuberance. Dogs: Will thrive as an only dog, but there is potential she could do well with a sibling if it's the right match. She is often reactive when she sees a dog on leash and doesn't quite know how to interact appropriately (Boxer exuberance..) when playing and being corrected by another dog. Cats: Yes, if dog-savvy. She currently lives with a cat and does well. She is definitely interested in him, but has learned to peacefully coexist 95% of the time with occasional chasing. Hosuetrained: Mostly. Completely housebroken when her foster family is home (and overnight) but occasional accidents when she's home alone. Crate trained: Not a fan and will make her displeasure known. Ideal Home: A love and understanding for the Boxer breed. An appreciation for snuggling. Home more often than not. Nisha is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. She is available for adoption to residents of IL and CT and surrounding states.

Story
Name: Ada Nickname: Smushy Age: 2.5 Years Old Breed: Boxer / Pittie mix Weight: 60 lbs. Doppelganger: Olaf from Frozen (but maybe moreso his shy sister)- slightly goofy and full of love Before OMD: Ada was surrendered to animal control when her owners could no longer care for her Energy level: She is the perfect mix of Boxer playfulness and couch potato snugglebug. She loves to fetch, run, and go for walks, but settles in beautifully when it's time to chill on the couch. She is not hyper, but rather engaged and energetic during playtime. Descriptors: Cuddly, playful, silly, sweet, velcro, happy-go-lucky What we love most: Her "sploot" pose when she lies like a frog. Her head may be coated in actual velvet for how soft it is. How much she loves to be near her people. Her snorting (it's a Boxer thing, iykyk). Her sudden and silly bursts of energy, where she'll prance around with a toy in her mouth like she has won the lottery. What she loves most: Her toys (especially soft ones), treats, meal time, Collogon bones, following her humans around like a ghost (we promise it's endearing and not scary), nibbling on her toys while draped over someone's legs so she has all of her favorite things close by, and gently carrying her toys around the house as if they are her babies. Ada is also very gentle when accepting treats, which makes her easy and fun to train with. What she knows: She is a pro at "sit" and is currently learning "leave it". She is housebroken when she keeps to her walk schedule. What she is working on: Not jumping when she gets overly excited (before walks and meals). Leash manners and has been very responsive to training. Ada can be very timid and unsure in new situations and around new people. She is working on her confidence, but sometimes her fear manifests in barking at people (or absolutely nothing outside). She has not shown any signs of aggression and warms up quickly once she actually spends some time with a new person. Her least favorite things: Quick movements and loud noises Dogs: Yup! She has been great at meeting new dogs and currently lives with another female dog. She would love to live with another dog, but it is not a requirement. She shares toys well and can read when her foster sister is not in the mood to play. Cats: Unknown - She hasn't met any cats yet, but she would likely be fine with "dog savvy" cats. Kids: "Dog-Savvy" older kids would be fine with Ada. She has met kids while on walks and been very polite. She can be a little timid and afraid of quick movements, so small children may startle her at first. Housebroken: Yes, when she is kept to her routine. Crate Trained: Yes, she is crated during the day and goes into her crate with a treat. She did whine a little in the beginning, but now that she knows her routine, she is happy to chill in her crate until her human is home Life Goal: Ada is on a mission to pull every single toy out of the toy basket every day so she can share them with her siblings or humans. Her work is never done, though, as somehow, the toys end up back in the basket the next day, and she has to start over. Her Ideal Home: Ada is truly adaptable. She would do well in a home with or without pets as long as she gets plenty of attention. She thrives on companionship, so the more time she has with her people, the better. She hopes her new home comes with an unlimited toy budget, but she is willing to compromise on this if enough treats are involved. Ada is spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. She is available for adoption to residents of CT, IL and their surrounding states.

Boxer Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Story
Meet Atticus, a SUPER sweet and lovable ~3 year old neutered male terrier/Boxer/lab mix (see pic of Embark DNA results), weighing about 54 lbs! This special boy was picked up as a stray by animal control in east TN. He spent some time in a shelter before being taken into rescue and transported up north, where he has been with his foster family for 7 months now. His foster family absolutely ADORES him and they don’t understand how he hasn’t been adopted yet.  Atticus is a friendly, goofy lovebug who just wants to love and be loved He also thinks he is a lap dog and he dares you to tell him otherwise! He has a zest for life and you can tell by the way he looks at you with such love in his eyes that he is DEEPLY thankful for being given a second chance. He will make you laugh every single day with his silly antics, and then he will happily be your little spoon when you're ready for bed. He is also very smart and knows many commands, he is food motivated and a fast learner!  This handsome guy is a true social butterfly! He absolutely LOVES people, and he is excellent with kids. He loves vigorous pets and butt scratches, and he will happily wiggle his WHOLE body with excitement when you give him attention! He gives the best hugs and kisses and makes the cutest like piggy noises when he is happy   Atticus does well with the resident dogs in his foster home, but he is dog selective and is typically not a fan of large fluffy dogs or dominant dogs. He tends to do better with dogs who are smaller than him. He does have some resource guarding tendencies when it comes to other dogs and food/treats (we always recommend feeding dogs separately regardless). He has not shown any resource guarding tendencies with people, only with other dogs. He has not been cat treated, so we are unsure how he would do with cats.  Atticus came to us with some reactivity to other dogs, which has unfortunately caused him to not "show" well at adoption events. His foster family has been working hard with him on this, with the help of K9 Rehab in Watertown, CT. He is now e-collar trained and walks beautifully on leash, even surrounded by other dogs. We are SO proud of the amazing progress he has made! As part of their Underdog program, K9 Rehab has generously offered continued training classes to Atticus’s adopter for FREE!  Atticus’s ideal home is one where he will be a cherished family member and given the love and attention that he so deserves. He is happiest when he is with his people, so it is important that he goes to a home where he will be welcomed on the couch and in his human’s bed - he is the perfect snuggle buddy! Additionally, we would like to see Atticus go to someone who is willing to keep up with his training to help him be the best version of himself. He is a truly wonderful dog who will absolutely thrive in the right home, and we just know that home is out there. Atticus is medically up to date and housebroken. Apply to meet this special boy today! 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! ##2553222##

Story
Meet Bruno, a handsome young neutered male mixed breed doggo (our best guess is Boxer/Dutch Shepherd - DNA results pending! ). He is approximately 1 year old and weighs about 35 lbs - the perfect size! Pictures really don't do this guy justice, he's got the most beautiful brindle coat and the BEST ears!   Bruno is a friendly, energetic boy who gets along well with other dogs, people, and kids (we recommend older kids 8+ as he is an exuberant young guy and may unintentionally knock over a small child). He has not been cat tested, so we are unsure how he would do with cats. Bruno is smart and food motivated, he has been taking training classes to work on manners and impulse control, and he has been doing GREAT! The ideal home for Bruno is one where he will get plenty of mental and/or physical stimulation to set him up for success. He would also LOVE a fenced in yard of his own and maybe another playful pup in the home to keep him company! From Bruno's current foster:  "Bruno came to Connecticut Sept. 6. Age unknown (possibly a year old, had adult teeth), heritage unknown (Dutch shepherd mix? Heeler? Boxer? Min Pin?). HAPPILY, absolutely no aggression, but lots of energy. Fast forward two months, and he is a really great dog, LOVES training and LOVES to show off his focus. About 35 lbs, a great size. He enjoys our fenced yard and chew bones, loves our weekly training sessions, where he has mastered sit/down/touch/look/wait and even leave it. After 3 sessions, I know he can be your forever companion as long as he has an active life or daily job. Maybe agility? Hiking? With more training, maybe a service dog or companion dog? Not a great candidate for someone working away from home 8 hrs/day, a first time dog owner or family with young children as he is exuberant." Bruno is medically up to date, housebroken, and crate trained.
