Story
Lil Bit is adorable, she is funny, sweet and doesn’t know how little she is. She’s good with other dogs and was living with three children before coming to rescue. They are the ones that named her. She is going to make an awesome addition to any home. This puppy Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies that are adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368. WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you! More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get an automatically generated confirmation email. Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back. After receipt of your application, an adoption counselor will then be in touch to answer your questions about this pup, discuss the adoption process and get the ball rolling! If you have not heard from one of our volunteers within 5 days of submitting your application, please email mollibo@gmail.com.

He will make a great addition to any family and would really love to have another playful fun dog around.

Story
This adorable little girl is Bella. She is a one-year old dachshund mix and weighs just 13 lb. Bella is at a foster home, not at our shelter. Her foster says "Bella is very shy and takes some time to warm up to her person. She is very inquisitive and prefers to be inside. She does well with pee pads and can stay home alone for periods of time. Bella plays well by herself." Bella's ideal home is with a single woman who she can connect with and become that person's little doll. Bella is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and healthy. Her adoption fee is $400. If you would like to meet/adopt Bella, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-forms. Email daws@daws.org with questions.

Story
Meet Foxy, a SUPER cute female mixed breed puppy! Foxy and her siblings were born to mama Kangaroo (25 lbs Jack Russell terrier/chihuahua mix who was taken in as a stray in east TN when she was heavily pregnant) on 10/16/2025. These adorable pups are long and short, so we suspect that Dad is a Dachshund mix! Foxy currently weighs about 6 lbs at 11 weeks old. She is arriving in CT on 1/24 and we are accepting applications on her now! We would LOVE to have these pups to go staight to adopters off transport!  Foxy is a typical happy, playful puppy who loves everyone! Good with dogs, cats, people, and kids. Young puppies are like blank slates who, with proper training and socialization, will grow into wonderful dogs. She is medically up to date (age appropriate), and working on crate training/housebreaking. Apply to meet this sweet puppy 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! ##2621996##
