Story
This sweet, young boy was found running the streets on his own. He had no collar and no microchip and no owner ever came forward to claim him. He is very friendly and very smart and only 13 pounds. We think he is close to a year old. He loves other dogs, cats kids, horses… He never meets a stranger. He will make a great addition to any family and would really love to have another playful fun dog around. If you are Interested In Adopting, please visit Funnyfarmpets.org where you can read all about our rescue and how the adoption process works and find the link to submit the application to adopt. He is fostered in Tennessee And will travel once his vetting is complete in a couple of weeks. His adoption fee is $399 and if he has to be transported out of Tennessee, there will be an additional $200 fee.

Story
Meet Rocky, a super cute 3-4 year old neutered male dachshund mix! This little guy weighs about 14 lbs, but he packs a lot of personality into his small size! Rocky is a happy, friendly boy who gets along well with other dogs, cats, people, and kids (older kids 8+ recommended, as he is an energetic little guy and may unintentionally knock over a small child).  From Rocky's current foster:  "Rocky is a happy, wiggly snugglebug who loves everyone he meets. He is fully potty trained and crate trained, and he settles nicely once he has had a little playtime. Rocky enjoys toys and playing with other dogs, and he has been respectful of cats in the home. Because he is such a playful guy, he would likely do best with older kids who can match his energy. If you are looking for a fun buddy who doubles as a couch cuddler, Rocky is your guy!" Apply to meet this good boy today!  **Rocky 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 Rocky 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! ##2581716##

Story
Meet Fancy & Flossy — Two Adorable Dachshund/Terrier Mix Puppies! Adoption Fee: $499 Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 Flossy and Fancy are two precious sisters from a litter of three little girls. Their sister Daphne has already been adopted, and now these two cuties are hoping their forever families find them next! These puppies have an incredible rescue story. All three were found abandoned under a bridge in the deep South, frightened and alone, until a kind-hearted good Samaritan spotted them and brought them safely into rescue. They’ve been loved and cared for ever since and are now thriving, happy little puppies. About the Girls: • Fancy – The scruffy one of the bunch! She has an adorable wire-haired coat and the sweetest expression. Fancy is playful, cuddly, and full of personality. • Flossy – Smooth-coated and beautiful! Flossy is just as loving, gentle, and sweet as her sister — her sleek coat and soft eyes make her irresistible. Both puppies are friendly, affectionate, and ready to bring joy to their new homes. They love attention, playtime, and being close to their people. They would do wonderfully with families, other pets, or anyone looking for a loyal little companion. Transport Info: Our next transport trip will arrive in the New England area on Friday, December 19th — just in time for Christmas! If you’ve been dreaming of adding a sweet little Dachshund/Terrier mix to your family, Flossy or Fancy may be your perfect match.

Story
Located in Tennessee but can be transported to you through Rescue Riders. This girl was brought in with babies when her owner couldn't take care of her. She was not socialized very well so will need some work. She will need a very patient person to get her to come out of her shell. She was kept outside so she has no house manners, nor has she been with cats. She does do well with dogs her size and seems to like to play with them. She deserves a new chance to be a loved dog and companion. She will take a lot of time and investment but deserves a chance!
