Story
APPLY FOR COCOA I'm Cocoa, a charming little guy at around 10 months old. I'm a handsome Chihuahua mix tipping the scales at 13 lbs, and I won't be growing much larger. I've been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated to keep me healthy and happy.   My journey has been a bit of a whirlwind. I found myself wandering as a stray until I landed at the doorstep of a kind elderly lady who took me in and showed me compassion by feeding me and giving me lots of love. It's because of her that I'm now on the lookout for my forever family. Though my start in life had its challenges, my heart remains full of sweetness. I might be a tad shy at first, but I quickly open up to those who show me kindness. I'm quite fond of other dogs and children, and I tend to overlook cats, so I’d fit in well even in a household with feline friends.   What I dream of most is a forever family who will play with me and continue my training—I'm just as clever as I am lovable! I hope to find my family super soon.    ADOPTION FEE: $663  ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES:  Alteration, Microchip, Vaccines APPLICATION: Click here to apply IF YOU HAVE OWNED A PET IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, PLEASE CALL YOUR VET AHEAD OF TIME TO ALLOW RESCUES TO SPEAK TO THEM APPLY FOR COCOA ##2555913##

Story
Meet Rocco! Rocco is our devilishly handsome young guy with the cutest underbite you’ve ever seen. Basically still a puppy, he’s active, agile, and always ready for fun. This quicksilver boy loves to be near his people and definitely keeps you on your toes! Rocco will need a secure fenced yard—otherwise you might find yourself chasing him down the street. He’s also a bit of a watchdog at the window (he once went through a screen, and blinds didn’t survive either!), but window coverings solved the problem. He’s fantastic with cats, dogs, and children, and would thrive in a home with multiple people and at least one small-to-medium dog companion. Rocco does have some separation anxiety, so a lap to cuddle on while the family is busy would make him happiest. This boy has tons of positives: • Super affectionate and loyal—he bonds closely with his person. • Sleeps peacefully in bed but respects your space. • Not a troublemaker with other pets. • Loves toys, fetch, and chew time. • Eats dry food only (a bonus for a little dog!). • Great in the car and on walks—though he must be securely tethered because he’s a clever escape artist. • Knows some basic commands and is very smart. • No resource guarding and can be picked up easily. Rocco isn’t perfect (he might nip your backside if you’re being a meanie!), but his sweetness and devotion far outweigh the quirks. If he were a little older, he’d already have a forever spot with us. If you’re ready to meet this amazing dog and you live in Connecticut, apply today at www.brasscityrescue.org.

Story
This guy is absolutely precious, and my adult son calls him Chocolate Rain. Walter is an older super Mutt who is looking to land in a home that will respect his boundaries and be his forever clan. His house trained, friendly, affectionate, rides well in the car, He's fantastic with other animals and he should only be with dog savvy kids age 12+. Walter absolutely needs a fenced in yard. You're not going to be able to walk the wet food pounds off of him because he's a butthead about touching his throat. He won't let us get a collar on him. I can only get a slip lead on after being his best friend and having Nudgers in my hand. He initiates all petting and follows me everywhere. But he will not let me get my hands around him. So, if you have a fenced yard and you can respect his boundaries (he will also respect yours), then you're going to love him. Just put a soft bed on the floor in your room and he will just think you're a Saint and will worship you forever. Apply for our little fat old man at www.brasscityrescue.org

Story
Meet Moochie, a super cute young adult neutered male chihuahua mix, weighing about 10 lbs! This sweet, spunky boy can be a little shy with new people, but he warms up quickly once he knows you are safe. He does well with other dogs (not cat tested, so we are unsure how he would do with cats). He is not a fan of young children (honestly, we can't say we blame him! ), so he must go to an adult only home (or teenagers 15+ who know to respect a dog's space). He is medically up to date, mostly housebroken (expect accidents the first few days while adjusting to a new home/routine), and crate trained. Apply to meet this adorable little guy today! **Moochie will not be available until our 12/14/25 adoption event at Petco in Dayville, CT. We are accepting applications on him now! We will prioritize applicants who are able to attend the 12/14 event. If Moochie is not adopted at the event, we will move on to other applicants.** 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! ##2594633##

Story
Meet Nay Nay, a super cute adult spayed female long haired chihuahua mix, weighing about 10 lbs! This sweet girl found herself at an overcrowded kill shelter in east TN, where she was very scared. We took her into rescue and placed her in a loving foster home, and she is now ready to head to New England to find her furever home! Nay Nay is good with other dogs and people. She has not been cat tested, however we feel she would likely do fine with cats. She has not been around young kids, so we are unsure how she would do with them.  She is medically up to date, mostly housebroken (expect accidents the first few days while adjusting to a new home/routine), and crate trained. Apply to meet this pretty girl today! **Nay Nay will not be available until our 1/11/26 adoption event at Petco in Dayville, CT. We are accepting applications on her now!

Story
Meet our silly little puppy boy named Scrappy Doo! Scrappy is about 10 months old and he was surrendered to our shelter after his family realized they were not prepared to care for a puppy. This adorable little guy is looking for a family ready to take on all the fun and training it takes to work with a new puppy, including housetraining. Scrappy can be a little shy at first when meeting new people, we don't think he was socialized a lot in his last home, but after a couple of minutes he is just the sweetest little guy! Scrappy is curious of his surroundings and absolutely loves running around carrying his stuffed toys. Sometimes Scrappy does a little nervous/happy pee when he starts getting attention, but it's just a little bit. He is a happy little dude who will make a family very happy. Scrappy is good with other dogs and he is non reactive to cats. He can go to a home with children 10 years old and older. If you are interested in adopting Scrappy Doo, Please Email us at Adopt@savingpawsct.org for an application! His adoption fee is $75.00. PLEASE CHECK YOU EMAIL SPAM FOLDER!
