Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Taffy. Taffy is a sweet puppy looking for the patient, loving family she deserves. She was owner surrendered through no fault of her own, and while she may be unsure of new people at first, she has so much love waiting to come out of her shell. Taffy did not receive the socialization she needed while growing up, so she needs a family who understands that trust takes time. She may be nervous when meeting new people and will need someone willing to let her go at her own pace. Once she warms up, though, her sweet and goofy personality really shines. She will even dance for you in return for some treats or attention. Taffy’s favorite thing in the world is a good back scratch, and once she trusts you, she will happily soak up all the attention she can get. Older/considerate kids only. Taffy is still just a puppy, and with patience, consistency, positive experiences, and plenty of love, we know she will come out of her shell and become a playful puppy. She just needs someone willing to give her the time and understanding she deserves. Taffy is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and current on ProHeart 6 and Bravecto. Her adoption fee is $400. To apply to adopt Taffy, visit www.adoggie4you.org. Taffy is currently in Texas but can travel to Washington, Portland, Oregon, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, Kentucky, and along the East Coast. If transportation is needed, there is an additional $250 transport fee. Unfortunately, due to state regulations, Taffy cannot travel to Rhode Island or Massachusetts.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 13, 2026, 9:52 am

Story
Welcome Drummer to CCPAL Rescue. Drummer is an 8-year-old wire-haired Dachshund. He was adopted out by us 4 years ago. He was 4 at the time. He has been loved and bonded deeply to the woman that adopted him. He would love another home with a quieter home that would allow him to get the attention he needs and deserves. He has found himself in need of a new forever home. His owner has been put in hospice and can no longer care for him. The immediate family cannot care for him so we stepped up and will find this precious boy his new forever home. He is trying to adjust to the Rescue again. The treats from our friends in New Jersey helped him today along with all the nice gifts. His owner has been put in hospice and can no longer care for him. The immediate family cannot care for him so we stepped up and will find this precious boy his new forever home. 5.5 may sound out but it truly is middle aged in Dachshunds lifespans. They can easily live to be 17 years old. If you love the breed, you know how loyal and bonded these dogs are to their person. They are a single dog person dog. They may love other people but they are loyal to one. He sheds some but not over the top. He is a good weight and his teeth are not too bad for his age. You can tell he was cared for and that he is disoriented with his new arrangement at the Rescue. He is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is $400 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. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org See his cute video

Goose Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: high Potty training: trained, does well on pads or outside Fenced yard: yes Shared walls: suitable People: all Dogs: all Other: does best with a canine companion in the home Overview Looking for a happy-go-lucky guy who will greet every single day, and every single person, with a huge smile? Meet Goose, a 2 and a half year old purebred dachshund weighing 18 pounds, with a striking black and tan long coat. Goose came to Little Paws as an owner surrender, and he has wasted no time settling in and winning hearts. His foster says it best: he always seems to be smiling. He is affectionate, easygoing, and truly never meets a stranger, and he especially loves climbing into a lap for some one on one cuddle time. Environment Goose is a high-energy guy who thrives on daily walks and playtime, and he is great on the leash. He is well potty trained and does well both on pads and outside, and he does best with access to a fenced yard. He does not need a crate; his foster simply gives him a secure space to relax in. He had a little trouble settling in his first few nights, barking in the middle of the night, but he quickly adjusted and has been solid ever since, especially with some canine company to keep him settled. He has done well with several hours alone during the day without any accidents or anxiety, and he rides happily in the car. Pets & People Goose adores people of all kinds and soaks up attention from everyone he meets. He will give a friendly bark and a wagging tail to greet newcomers, all bark and no bite. He gets along wonderfully with his foster's resident pups, gentle and happily submissive even though he's about twice their size. At mealtime he is polite and gentle, never snatchy with treats. He hasn't spent time around children yet, but between his friendly nature and gentle manners, he seems like he'd do well with the right introduction to older considerate children. Location Goose is available for adoption from Greensboro, GA. Please email at pattyp@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Goose is $375.00  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 11, 2026, 11:35 am

Story
This spunky little “Low Rider” is going to be a lot of fun for some lucky family. He is a sweet, friendly, happy and good natured little boy. He’s pretty outgoing and active as well and he really enjoys playing with his toys, the other pups and exploring the outdoors. He adores being around people, grownups and kids alike, and being on the receiving end of their attention too. I’m sure he will be sitting on go when the family loads up to go on their fun filled outings. Shadow’s Mom is a black/tan purebred Dachshund and his Dad is a black Chihuahua mix. He is 12 weeks old (dob 5/2/26) and he weighs 10 pounds at the time of this posting (7/30/26). He has been neutered, microchipped, fecal tested and is current on all vaccinations, worming and on heartworm and flea prevention. His adoption fee is $400. Shadow is being fostered in Tennessee. Once adopted he will be transported to his pickup location by a professional dog transport company. Our rescue ships to the Northeast area every week and his fee includes transportation. Due to state laws, we cannot accept applications from residents of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Maine since we cannot adopt directly to those states.

Meet Harley, an adult neutered male Chiweenie! He is the sweetest, cutest boy! He is about 7-8 yrs old and 16 lbs. We are accepting applications for him now!  His foster said,"Harley is a sweetheart!!! He is house and crate trained, he is good with other dogs and cats. He loves to follow his people around. He has been a great foster! Harley is medically up to date and neutered. Apply to meet this special pup 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! ##2797729##

Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: medium Potty training: in progress Fenced yard: yes, required Shared walls: suitable People: all Dogs: does well with other dogs; large dogs untested Other: has never been on a leash Overview Sweet, quiet, and full of surprises, meet Nutmeg. This 8-year-old black and tan long- haired pure dachshund came to Little Paws as a surrender, and she is just beginning to discover what life as a cherished family dog looks like. At 9 lbs of soft, silky fluff, Nutmeg is a gentle soul with a playful spirit waiting to come out. She takes her time with new people and new situations, but once she decides you are her people, she is wonderfully sweet. Environment Nutmeg is still learning the ropes of housetraining and will need patience and a consistent routine. She has never been on a leash before, so walks will be a whole new adventure for her, one she will need to take at her own pace with a gentle, encouraging hand. A securely fenced yard will give her a safe space to explore and build her confidence. She goes into her crate on her own during the day to nap, which is a lovely sign of how settled she is in her space. She is calm and quiet indoors and seems to do fine when left with other dogs around. She did well being picked up and transported to her foster home, which bodes well for car travel. Pets and People Nutmeg is shy and skittish at first with new people, but she opens up into a warm, sweet companion once she feels safe. She does well with the other dogs in her foster home, though she has not yet been around large dogs, so introductions with bigger breeds should be done thoughtfully. She is gentle with treats and loves her food. Her compatibility with cats is unknown and would need to be assessed. Location Nutmeg is available for adoption from Cumming, GA. Please email juliejohnson@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Nutmeg is $325.00Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 11, 2026, 11:35 am
