Story
Name: King Frederick Nickname: Alakay (real name of Alex the lion from Madagascar) Breed: Collie mix Estimated DOB: 10/14/2022 Weight: 60 lbs. Before OMD: Transferred to OMD Rescue after he was picked up as a stray, heartworm positive (though showed no symptoms). He has since been treated for heartworm and healthy. Energy Level: Medium-high Velcro level: Inside? Right with his people. Outside? Independent and off exploring. Descriptors: Social. Sweet. Intelligent. Playful. Handsome and slightly majestic. Alter Ego: A toddler - Active, thrives on boundaries, gets bored easily, mischievous, opportunistic... If you leave the room, he will investigate (and, most likely, chew) and get into all the things while you're gone...sometimes even when you're not gone. What we love most: His gorgeous smile. How he's always happy and eager to please - he really just seems to enjoy life, no matter what's going on. What makes us smile: How he has to stretch any time he gets up from a down position (whether it's one second or one hour). How he gets super low and wiggly when you call him to come. How you can often find him sleeping on his back with his legs up in the air. What he loves most: His people. Pleasing his people. Playing with other dogs. Water-play. Food. What he doesn't love: When he thinks he's done something wrong. He's eager to please and can be sensitive to corrections. What he knows: Sit. Sit and Come (sometimes). Leash manners. Riding well in the car. Kids: He has not spent time with kids while in rescue, but we believe he would do best with older, sturdy, dog savvy kids due to his herding-dog nature and he does jump from time to time Dogs: Oh yes! He has loved being around other dogs of all shapes and sizes. He's best suited with a tolerant, playful pup as he can occasionally get rowdy and incessant on instigating play. Cats: Likely a no. House trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Need to know: Our boy either needs to be on a leash at all times or a 6 foot fence as he can hop anything shorter. He will thrive in a home who wants a dog who they can truly bond with, and understands the breed and their need for daily physical and mental stimulation. Frederick is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He is available for adoption to residents of CT and surrounding states.

Born into an unwanted litter, Journey and her siblings grew up without the comforts of home life: no cozy couches, no bedtime routines, and no humans calling her name just because they love her. Yet through it all, Journey’s heart remained gentle, hopeful, and full of love. Journey is friendly, affectionate, and playful, with a soft, loving nature that makes her impossible not to adore. She does great with other dogs and kids, and has a beautiful balance of curiosity and calm. She’s the kind of girl who will happily explore the world with you and then settle in close, just to be sure she’s exactly where she belongs. Her mom is a heeler/border collie mix around 40 lbs, and dad remains a mystery — a charming wanderer who passed along good looks and great genes. Whatever the mix, Journey inherited intelligence, athleticism, and a loyal heart that’s ready to bond deeply with her people. Journey would thrive with an active, loving family who enjoys walks, playtime, and adventures, but also values togetherness and connection. She’s eager to learn, ready to blossom, and so deserving of the life she’s been patiently waiting for. 🐕 Journey’s Details: ✅ 1 year old, ~40 lbs ✅ Sweet, affectionate, and people-oriented ✅ Great with dogs and kids ✅ Playful, gentle, and loyal ✅ Smart and eager to learn ✅ Waiting for her forever family Journey doesn’t need much — just a chance, a safe place to land, and someone willing to love her wholeheartedly.

Story
Available in TX Meet Louise, the lovable Collie mix with a heart as vast as the Texas sky. Rescued from uncertainty, Louise's story is one of resilience and affection. Her gentle nature shines through in her unwavering love for people; she craves affection and thrives on human touch. But it's not just people she adores-her heart extends to every canine companion she meets, finding joy in playful romps and tail-wagging friendships. Louise's loyalty knows no bounds; she sticks close to her family, her unwavering devotion evident in her excellent recall skills. House and kennel trained, she's a model of canine etiquette. Yet, her past shadows linger, and she seeks solace in the company of other dogs, finding comfort and confidence in their presence. Her journey to healing is ongoing, as she learns to navigate the world she was once isolated from as a puppy. Long hours confined would dampen her spirits, but with the warmth of a loving family and the companionship of other furry friends, she blossoms. Currently fostering in the heart of Seguin, Texas, Louise awaits a forever home where her sweet soul can truly shine, reminding us all of the transformative power of love and second chances. She is house-trained, microchipped, fully vaccinated, & spayed. She is being fostered in Seguin, TX and is ready for her new home. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.

Story
Meet Dobby, a friendly ~2 year old spayed female Australian Cattle Dog mix! This girl is the perfect size and full grown at about 40 lbs. She has the BEST giant ears, which is how she earned her name!  Dobby is a very sweet, outgoing girl who LOVES other dogs, people, and kids! Due to her exuberant nature, we recommend older kids 8+ as she may unintentionally knock over a small child. She attended doggy daycare while being fostered in TN, and she got along well with all of the dogs there. Since she has been in New England, she was fostered with two 120 lb Great Pyrs who she also got along very well with! Currently, she is being fostered in CT at another doggy daycare and is having a blast! She loves to play with her doggo friends and would be thrilled to have another young, playful pup to share her home with. Dobby does ok with dog savvy cats (will initially bark at them and will chase if they run, but she responds well to being told NO and she learned to respect the cat in her prior foster home).  She is an energetic girl who loves to play with other dogs, she also loves toys and a good game of tug! She would LOVE a fenced in yard of her own to get out her zoomies. Dobby would make an excellent hiking and/or running buddy, she would love to join you on all of your adventures and then nap on the couch with you afterwards (she loves to snuggle!). She also walks very well on leash and is not a big puller (unless she sees a squirrel or other critter). She is a super smart and trainable pup!  From Dobby's current foster:  "Dobby is definitely a high energy girl which has proved a perfect match for my high energy pups who don’t get enough play. Dobby gets along with everyone, sleeps like a rock through the night and loves a bone to keep her busy when it’s quiet time. Dobby is learning that excitement is always a good thing but jumping on someone is not always cool when you’re not prepared. Dobby is super smart and would love a job so if you have a dog who would love a play companion or if agility is your thing, Dobby is for you!" Dobby is medically up to date, crate trained, and housebroken. Apply to meet this special girl today! She is SO deserving of a furever home of her own! 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! ##2455233##

Story
Meet Royalty, a sweet ~2 year old spayed female kelpie/terrier mix! She's a great size at about 32 lbs. This special pup has been in her foster home since March 2025 waiting to find her furever home   Royalty is a shy, timid girl at first, who takes some time to warm up to new people (especially men). However, she comes around with a little love and patience. We think she is worth the wait!   She does best being introduced to new people slowly, sometimes outside throwing her treats. Fast movements and loud noises make her nervous and she may bark and/or growl. Because of this, we recommend a home with no young children.  She does ok with older/dog savvy kids and has warmed up to her foster mom's grandson and will happily go for walks and cuddle with him! If you are patient with her and let her come to you on her own terms, she will eventually reward you with lots of cuddles and kisses once she has deemed you safe!  Royalty is an energetic young girl who enjoys going on walks and would love a fenced in yard of her own to run around and get out her zoomies! She also loves bones, lick mats, and puzzle toys. She is a very smart girl and knows many commands, including "sit", "down", "wait", "let's go", "paw", "other paw", and "leave it". She is very food motivated and eager to learn - she would be a great candidate for training games and maybe even agility. She does great with other dogs after a proper intro and is BFFs with her foster fur sibling! She would love a confident, well adjusted doggo friend to show her the ropes and help her learn to build her confidence. She is a herder and will chase cats and small animals, so no feline friends for this girl. Royalty is medically up to date, housebroken, and crate trained. Apply to meet this special girl today!
