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##

Story
    Marli Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: medium Potty training: trained Fenced yard: preferred, not required Shared walls: suitable People: older children and adults Dogs: all Other: bite history, needs experienced home Overview Looking for a calm, easygoing senior gentleman to share your couch with? Meet Marli, an 8-year-old purebred miniature dachshund weighing 13 pounds, with a beautiful long, cream piebald coat. Marli came to Little Paws after a bite incident that his foster describes as a case of him being misunderstood rather than aggressive by nature. In his foster home, he has been calm, quiet, and easy to care for, the kind of sweet dog who just wants a comfortable spot and people who understand him. One of his favorite little rituals is rolling around in his bed after every walk. Environment Marli is fully house and pad trained and doesn't need a crate, which he isn't a fan of anyway. He genuinely craves his walks now and does great on a leash; he used to try to slip out of his harness but has long since outgrown that habit. A yard would be nice but isn't required, and he's a quiet, easy housemate for a home with shared walls. As long as he has some canine friends and access to the couch, he's content for a few hours on his own. Pets & People Marli does get nervous around new people at first, but he opens up fairly quickly and loves to cuddle with anyone willing to show him affection. He's done well with his foster's sons, ages 9 and 14, and given his bite history, he'll do best in a home with older children or adults who can read his cues and give him space when he needs it. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and lights up on group walks with his canine friends. He's gentle with treats, though mealtime can be a slower process since he's used to having his bowl available to graze throughout the day rather than eating on a schedule. Health & Special Needs Marli was previously prescribed trazodone, an anti-anxiety medication. His new family will want to check in with a vet about whether any anxiety support is needed going forward. He can be restless and fidgety in the car, so a calm, reassuring approach to travel will help him settle. Location Marli is available for adoption from Miami, FL. Pleased note: Marli does not like the car. Please email applications@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Marley is $325.00.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 2, 2026, 1:12 pm

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, and this sweet boy has lots of 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. He is terrified of thunderstorms and will seek out his human for comfort when it is thundering and lightning, often pacing and shaking.   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.

Story
Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: low, a true couch potato Potty training: trained Fenced yard: required Shared walls: not suitable (she's quite chatty) People: all Dogs: all Other: senior girl who thrives on companionship and does best with someone home often   Looking for a devoted companion to spend her golden years curled up beside you? Meet Rory, an 11-year-old purebred dachshund weighing in at 27 lbs, with a gorgeous red, long coat and a whole lot of love to give. Rory came to Little Paws as an owner surrender and she's settled into foster life as the happiest, most affectionate girl, content to nap the day away or cuddle up next to her favorite person. She may be picky about her food, but she is not picky about who she loves on.     Rory is fully potty trained and does best with access to a fenced yard. She's a low-key, low-energy girl who's happiest lounging around the house rather than out on adventures, and she uses a pen rather than a crate. She does have some separation anxiety and doesn't do well left alone for long stretches, so she'll thrive with a family who can offer plenty of company throughout the day. She's quite the talker, so a home without shared walls will keep everyone happiest. When she does get out and about, she handles even long car rides like a champ.     Rory is so happy and affectionate with her people and adores cuddling up with them whenever she can. She's a bit wary of new faces at first, but warms up nicely once she gets some attention. She's easygoing around other dogs, though she's more of an observer than a playmate. Because she needs a restricted diet to help manage her weight, she can be a bit of a picky eater, so patience at mealtime goes a long way with this sweet lady.     Rory is currently carrying extra weight, which has led to some liver strain, so she is on a restricted diet to help her slim down and feel her best. She also has reduced vision due to retinal scarring, though it doesn't slow her down one bit around her familiar people and spaces. With a caring home and some diet management, Rory has every chance to feel healthier and more comfortable with each passing month.     Rory is available for adoption from Herndon, VA. Please email Annie at intake@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Rory is $250.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 2, 2026, 1:12 pm

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. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 2, 2026, 1:12 pm

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.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 2, 2026, 1:12 pm
