Story
"LOVE HEALS" Reishi, a 1 year old neutered male Dachshund mix, has overcome incredible adversity to become the loving companion he is today. Rescued from a Tennessee hoarding case, Reishi's early life was marked by neglect, isolation, and overcrowding. Reishi's start in life was far from ideal. Reishi's fosters have witnessed remarkable growth, and he's now ready for a forever home where he'll continue to blossom as a loyal and loving friend. Reishi is truly a remarkable boy. Initially, he may require gentle interactions, avoiding sudden movements, and close proximity. However, once he's deemed you safe, Reishi's true personality shines: happy, goofy, and affectionate. Consistent training, and socialization will help Reishi build trust and confidence.  With his unique long legs, courtesy of his Min Pin mix heritage, Reishi loves to run. He thrives around other dogs and would do best in a home with a doggo sibling(s), Reishi loves being part of a pack! He loves outdoor adventures, walks, and playtime. Older kids (8+) who respect personal space are ideal, while Reishi's curiosity requires a cat-free home. This intelligent pup is always eager to learn and please. He is treat-motivated and responds well to positive reinforcement.  By adopting Reishi, you'll not only gain a loving companion, but you'll also provide this special boy a second chance at a happy life. Apply to meet him 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! ##2083262##

Story
Lady J Yoo Hoo!! Hello there!! Here I am! Down here!! Well, now that I have your attention, I can tell you about myself. My name is Lady, or Lady J, or “Jaws” or you can call me by my preferred nom de plume… “the Queen”. Foster mom calls me that and I have no idea why, but I like it! I am approximately 7 years old and am a dachshund mix of some sort. I am a long-waisted girl of 18 pounds. Foster mom has had me on a little diet as I was a little chunkier when I first arrived. I was found hanging around a convenience store so I think that all that fast food probably had something to do with the excess waistline I had. I am almost perfect now though, at least my weight is. My back story is mostly unknown, but one can surmise that I have had a few rough times by looking at me. First off, my lower jaw is broken on the left side. The proper name is mandible, and the dogtor told foster mom that it is an old break that not much of anything can be done about. Doc says if I can eat ok, and boy can I eat, then there is no problem. I do have an appointment with the doc to have the baby making bits taken out (yay! Had enough litters to last a lifetime!) and get my teeth cleaned and a broken one taken out. Not sure how I broke that but maybe when my jaw was broken. That is the past and I am looking forward to my future and forever home. I am housebroken and get along with the other pups and the cat who I live with. Foster mom says I can be a little bossy at times but nothing that has a bite with it. As if I could bite anything with a dislocated jaw. I love to sleep on the bed and can climb the stairs to the bed without any problem. I do like to jump off the bed which foster mom tries to stop me from doing because of my sausage shape, she says it is bad for me. I don’t really bark much, and love to spend as much time as possible with my people. If you would like to be my people, please apply to adopt me. $200 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.

Understandably, she’s a bit timid at first, but once she feels safe, her sweet and gentle nature shines through. Kuromi thrives with the companionship of another dog and would do best in a home where she has a canine friend to help her feel secure.She’s house trained, good with people, and absolutely loves the company of other dogs. If you’re looking for a loyal little sweetheart who blossoms with love and friendship, Kuromi may be the perfect fit.IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats.

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.Abel- Dachshund mixAbel and his brother, Cain, were rescued from a sad situation. Their owner meant well but didn't have the means to take care of them. They were severely infested with fleas, to the point they had lost a lot of hair, and they were living outside. They were not being given adequate food and water and were just generally in poor condition. Abel appears to be a Dachshund mix. He is 3 years old and about 13 lbs. His coat is a rusty brown/gray color and is now slick and shiny. We have had him vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, tested for heartworms (negative!) And started on preventives for heartworms, fleas, and ticks. Abel is a sweet little boy who gets along well with other dogs, and is good with kids as long as they are gentle with him. While Cain and Abel came to us together, they don't appear to be particularly bonded to each other and will be fine separated. They get along well but don't necessarily depend on eachother. We are told they are brothers but they look nothing alike. Located in Arkansas, but transport is available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them at one of the following times/locations. Harrisburg, PA 2am Saturdays Port Jervis, NJ 5am Saturdays Southington, CT 8am Saturdays East Hartford, CT 11am Saturdays To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 Message or email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.

Story
How adorable are we? Hi I’m Maverick. I’m a 3 month old male dachshund mix, around 7lbs and I have two brothers and one sister. We are ready to go now and cute as little buttons! If you are looking for a small, devoted friend, you just found us... we will make the perfect addition to any family. Dachshunds are known for being playful and energetic but with these little legs we are sure you can keep up. Please keep in mind that small children maybe rough for us so be sure that if you have smalls that they don't treat us like a toy. We just want walks and love and play and treats... the list goes on... Hurry, pups like us do not last long! *All of The Right to Live dogs are fostered locally in San Antonio Texas and will be transported to other states to their new families upon adoption. We believe fostering dogs and not having them decompress in a kenneled environment is more beneficial for the dogs and builds their trust and companionship in a family situation. Adoption fee includes transportation costs, previous/current medical treatment (spay/neuter, etc.) and a health certificate for cross-state travel*
