Story
Hi Northeastern people! I am a handsome little Pug/Chihuahua mix named Capone. I am about 2 years old, weigh only 10 lbs, and I was found as a stray in Gonzales, Texas. I was a very lucky boy when it turned out the Animal Shelter was so full that they reached out to 4 Little Paws Rescue instead, and I am now living it up in a foster home while getting ready to find a forever home. I’ve been vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, and I’m looking forward to meeting you! I am a happy, friendly little guy with a medium energy level, and it's easy to see I love life! I’m sweet and social, and great with everyone, easily making friends, even with strangers! I enjoy running and playing with all my little dog buddies, and as the “activities director,” I like to ensure we are all having fun. I love being involved and am always curious about what everyone is doing. I’m not really into dog toys, but I am into love and affection, pets and snuggles, and just being close to you. I’m not a fan of being kept in a crate, but I will tolerate it. I am well-behaved, no digging or chewing, I don't guard my food, I’m working on housebreaking, good on a walk, don't mind a car ride, and loud noises don't scare me. I hear many wonderful people in the Northeast would love to have a sweet little guy like me, so inquire about me today! * 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Story
Meet Beth, the tiniest bundle of joy with the biggest personality! Beth, an 8-week-old, 9 lb Shepherd mix (best guess!), may be small, but she’s overflowing with charm, sweetness, and puppy antics. This little cutie loves nothing more than romping around with other pups before curling up for a wellearned rest She’s super smart, is very eager to learn, and is doing wonderfully with crate and wee wee pads. Beth loves toys, playtime, and being close to her people! If you’re looking for a playful, loving pup who will grow into a loyal companion, Beth is ready to wiggle her way into your heart. Owners with some previous puppy experience are her best fit. She's puppy mouthy right now, so we won't place her with very small kids. Beth is microchipped, vaccinated, and will be spayed by the rescue when she’s old enough. Located on Long Island.  Her adoption fee is $700. ##2640118##

Story
Audrey is a beautiful 8 month old corgi. She is tiny and weighs in at 17lbs. Audrey loves hoomans and other dogs. She is very curious about kitties. Audrey has strong herding instincts and nibbles her foster mom on a regular basis so a home with small children is not recommended unless you have extensive corgi experience. Audrey loves her toys and will occupy herself for a while. She definately will need leash work as she pancakes on leash. Audrey is located in Freeport NY her adoption fee is $700   ##2640093##
