Betsy Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: moderate Potty training: pee pads and goes outside on a schedule Fenced yard: yes, required Shared walls: not suitable People: adults and older children Dogs: dogs her age/size or the only dog Other: currently doing well on a weight management plan Overview Betsy has a personality that fills any room she walks into. This sweet 3-year-old long-haired red mix is game for just about anything life has to offer, as long as she gets to be part of it. Betsy came to Little Paws after the heartbreaking loss of her owner. She deserves nothing less than a loving forever home, and she's ready to pour every bit of her affection into the right family—she’s waiting with many kisses. Environment Betsy has moderate energy levels and loves her daily adventures. She happily keeps pace with big dogs on woodland walks and is a joy on leash. She'll need a securely fenced yard to roam and burn off that enthusiasm. She uses pee pads indoors and is still working toward fully outdoor potty habits, so patience and consistency will help her get there. S he is currently gated into a large area when left alone. When her foster leaves, she does protest. She's happiest with canine housemates around. Because she can be chatty, she'll do best in a home without shared walls. Betsy is also currently on a weight management plan; a combination of regular exercise and a weight control diet is already showing results, and she just needs to shed a few more pounds to reach her healthy weight. Her new family will want to keep that momentum going. Pets & People Betsy has settled into a multi-dog household. She's social with her canine crew but would do best with a dog her size and around her age. She's a little rambunctious for older and smaller dogs. With people, she can be wary when meeting strangers on the street. She does have some separation anxiety so someone home more often than not would be ideal. She does best with older children because she’s a very food-motivated girl and small hands holding snacks could be tempting for her. Location Betsy is available for adoption from Christianbsburg, VA. Please email Juliejohnson@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Betsy is $375.00.

Story

Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy Level: Medium Potty training: trained Fenced yard: no but does need frequent potty breaks Shared walls: no People: no young children Dogs: good with slow moving dogs that will respect his space Other: Sammy does well when he wears a soft cone; it helps him to navigate his surroundings as well as gives him a barrier in his personal space. Overview Meet Sammy, a beautiful ~10 year old, 10 lb golden-coated dachshund who proves that love sees beyond physical limitations. Sammy came to Little Paws as a stray found in Miami, but this sweet boy has nothing but affection to give. Despite being somewhat visually impaired due to cataracts, Sammy navigates the world with his heart wide open and is absolutely craving human connection and love. Environment Sammy is a gentle soul who enjoys short walks and playtime. He’s potty trained with regular potty breaks, doing best with a consistent routine. He’s great on the leash and loves his walks. Sammy is not a fan of the crate and does bark when left alone. He needs a home without shared walls. This love bug just wants to be near his people! His happy place is the sofa, left to relax without interruption. Pets & People Sammy is incredibly sweet with adults and older children, but he wouldn’t suit living with young children as he can be easily startled. He has shown some guarding of his space but after eye surgery his disposition has improved. Sammy doesn’t like to be moved when he gets comfortable and is best when left alone in his space. He will need an adopter willing to let him be in his happy place; he will come to the human for affection on his own terms. Because he is easily startled and needs this space, he would be ok as an only dog or with another small, calm dog. His nature makes him wonderful with patient family members who understand his needs. Due to his vision, he’s very gentle around food and needs to be guided to his food and water bowls, but he manages beautifully once he knows where everything is. Sammy has come a long way since the shelter and has recently discovered his love of squeaky toys and has developed a bond with his foster sibling, Cosmo, a small easy going doxie mix. Health Sammy has cataracts that cause visual impairment, and he had eye surgery to repair a lens. He sometimes bumps into things and needs gentle guidance to his food and water bowls, but he manages well. Wearing a soft cone helps him to navigate his home. He tries to use potty pads but can not always see them. He takes a joint supplement, omega for his skin, and probiotics. He is on a low fat diet and must continue on this food. His visual challenges don’t slow down his loving spirit one bit. Location Sammy is available for adoption from Miami, FL. Please email applications@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Sammy is $250.00.

Snyder (being fostered in Miami, FL)

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Overview Looking for a sweet little old lady to spend her golden years spoiling? Meet Snyder, a mixed breed senior who is 10 years or older, weighing 18 pounds with a short black and tan coat. She was rescued from a shelter, and she has been soaking up all of life's simple pleasures ever since. Snyder is obsessed with two things above all else: food and naps. Mention a treat bag and she will come running, selective hearing won’t apply. She loves sunbathing, lounging on the balcony, and going on slow, meandering sniff walks. Give her a scratch behind the ears and call her a good girl, and she will light right up. This is a girl who has more than earned a soft, comfortable place to call her own. Environment Snyder is fully potty trained and does great with an exercise pen rather than a crate. She is very content to be left to her own devices for a while, and she is quiet enough to be a great fit for a home with shared walls. She loves her walks, though she is more of a zigzagging sniffer at the moment than a structured leash walker, and with a little time and patience she would likely learn to walk nicely on one side. A yard is not required, but daily walks are essential since they are one of her favorite parts of the day. She is a little nervous riding elevators but will do so just fine with some gentle encouragement. Pets & People Snyder is the biggest love bug once she feels safe and gets to warm up at her own pace. With her people, she happily accepts pets and cuddles and will even let you handle her paws without any fuss. Because she is an older girl who can be skittish with unfamiliar people, she does best without children in the home, and any new people in her life will need to let her come to them rather than reaching out first. She would be a wonderful match for a retired or work-from-home household, or any calm adult home ready to give her the patience she deserves. With other dogs, Snyder gets along great and is especially fond of the resident dachshund in her foster home. She is a little more cautious around larger dogs but has never shown any aggression toward them. At mealtime she is polite and gentle, and she takes treats from the hand just as sweetly. Her one exception is collagen chews, which she likes to enjoy undisturbed in her pen, and she is perfectly happy to have any other treat or bone taken from her without any issue. Health & Special Needs As a senior girl, Snyder takes daily supplements to help keep her comfortable and moving well, simple additions to her routine rather than anything complicated. She travels great in the car and loves to nap either up front beside her person or settled into the back seat once she has had a few minutes to relax. Location Snyder is available for adoption from Miami, Florida. Please textTammy Simmons at 612.298.2614 with any questions or complete an adoption application. The adoption fee for Snyder is $250.00.

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##

Possum

Dachshund Labrador Retriever

Female, 1 yr

New Fairfield, CT

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Possum – Looking for Someone Who Believes in Second Chances 🤍 Not every rescue story follows a straight line. Possum was adopted from NFSAW earlier this year, and like every dog we place, we hoped it would be forever. Unfortunately, her family recently made the difficult decision to return her after realizing they simply weren't the right fit. It wasn't the happy ending we wanted for her, and today the cheerful puppy we once knew is understandably frightened and unsure of the world around her. At just one year old, Possum is a gentle Golden Retriever/Dachshund mix with a beautiful golden coat, soulful amber eyes, and absolutely not a mean bone in her body. Right now she's overwhelmed, timid, and trying to figure out why her world changed so suddenly. New people and new surroundings are scary for her, and she's taking life one cautious step at a time. But beneath that uncertainty is still the sweet little Georgia girl we first met. We catch little glimpses of her—the soft eyes, the gentle spirit, the quiet hope that maybe the next person who reaches for her hand won't let go. Possum doesn't need someone looking for the life of the party. She needs someone willing to let trust grow at her pace. Someone who understands that healing isn't measured in days, but in tiny victories: a hesitant tail wag, a sigh of contentment, choosing to sit beside you instead of hiding across the room. We believe that dog is still in there. She just needs someone patient enough to help her find herself again. If you have a quiet home, a gentle heart, and room for a dog who deserves the forever family she missed the first time, Possum may be waiting for you. Sometimes the best love stories begin with a second chance.
