Flat-Coated Retriever puppies and dogs in Bristol, Connecticut

With a name like Happy, the names says it all. If you have already watched his video you will know- this boy is truly happy. From the hop in his run to the one ear up one ear down cuteness of his face, this boy can chase off the worst blues just by being him and yours. If you haven't seen his video, watch it now then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/El8zDhURQU8 Happy is estimated to be 1 year old, possibly a flat-coated retriever, and he weighs 42 lbs. Of course we cannot guarantee age or breed but those are not the details that make Happy a keeper. A few things that make him a dream boy… he is dog-friendly, a daycare regular, a fetch champion and a french-fry enthusiast! Happy is a regular at doggie daycare, and he thrives around other dogs. His play style is goofy, cheerful, and easily described as “let’s be friends!” energy. He would absolutely love living with another playful dog not only for companionship, but because it’s where he shines most, and honestly, you’ll enjoy it just as much. If your dog loves fetch, chase, silly antics, or just being around other dogs, Happy will fit right in. He is best described as happy-go-lucky and playful. He LOVES toys, plays fetch with enthusiasm, and brings the cutest, innocent, puppyish charm to everything he does. For all his playful energy outdoors, Happy settles in beautifully inside the home. He is respectful, easygoing, well-mannered, and a pro at relaxing after a good play session (a personal fave quality.) He’s also great in the car, he rides calmly and politely, and loves to call shot-gun! While your out and about together he will happily tag-along for a snack run but insider tip- he will, unlike most dogs, pass on a pup cup, but a french fry? He will never refuse a french fry! He’s treat-motivated, attentive, and already knows sit, down, and shake. With consistency and positive reinforcement, he’s the type of dog who will happily learn anything your teaching. He could adapt to an apartment with regular outlets for exercise and play, but he’d be thrilled in a home with a yard where he can play fetch, run and stretch his legs. As for cats, Happy loves them, as playmates, which means chasing and pawing- so not the best match. A no-cat household will be best. Let’s recap the reasons we love him! Starting with the most basic- because he is pure sunshine.Happy is full of joy, full of playful energy, and ready to pour all of that into his forever family. He’s loving, expressive, loyal, and wonderfully silly- the perfect companion for someone who wants a best friend who brings happiness everywhere he goes. If you’re craving the companionship of a dreamy dog with a side of joy, laughter, fetch sessions, and wagging tails, this is your boy! He is ready to be the one who always greets you like you’re the best part of his day… Ready to make your house a Happy home?

Bobby is a sweet little puppy, not really sure about his breed but whatever he is he’s adorable. He’s happy and outgoing. Loves to play with other dogs, he likes to explore around the yard. He will be a great addition to any home. He’s a little shy when you first meet but once he knowes you, he’s a big love. He has a beautiful coat. He’s anround 25 lbs, so I think he’s going to be a medium size dog. Everyone that meets him, can’t believe he isn’t already adopted. He tries to talk sometimes, I haven’t figured out what he’s telling me but I know he’s telling me something, lol. I know his family is out there, if you think you might be the one for him. Reach out for more info. In the meantime check out his video. Bobby 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!

Meet Logan (aka Oliver) a very sweet 1.5 year old neutered male lab/pointer mix, weighing about 72 lbs! This handsome boy has the cutest tan eyebrows that accent his black and white coloring.  A total cutie! Logan was adopted as a young puppy and, through no fault of his own, is now being returned to PRL over a year later.  His current family describes him as a "smart, sweet, and loving dog and who loves affection and will lay at your feet so he can touch and be connected" He is an energetic boy who loves playing fetch and running around the yard - he would chase balls all day long if he could! He has good house manners and he knows basic commands ("sit", "lay down", "stay").  As sweet as Logan is, he is a timid boy who suffers from fear/anxiety when he is out of his comfort zone. His current family reports that he is afraid to go on walks and panics when he hears loud noises (lilke the vacuum). He is also not a fan of car rides. When he is home and in his fenced yard, he is very happy and relaxed and you would not know that he is such a scaredy cat. Logan does well with other dogs, and his family feels that he would benefit greatly from having another dog in the home (ideally a confident, well adjusted dog who can show him the ropes and help him build his confidence). Because he is so nervous on walks, Logan would do best with a fenced in yard where he can safely run and play. Logan is medically up to date, housebroken, and crate trained.

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! ##2155977##

Meet Wednesday, a ~3 month old female lab/terrier mix puppy! We expect her to grow to a medium/large dog.  Wednesday, her brother Pugsley, and mama Morticia were picked up as strays by animal control in east TN (there was also a third puppy, who was adopted from animal control). This little family spent several days at an overcrowded kill shelter and their stray hold was up, which meant they were at risk of euthanasia Fortunately, we were able to find a foster to take them in, and they were pulled from the shelter in the nick of time.  Mama Morticia was adopted by her TN foster family, and Pugsley was adopted very quickly after arriving in New England. Wednesday is the last member of this sweet family remaining, and she is SO deserving of a furever home of her own!  Wednesday is a typical happy, playful puppy who loves everyone! Good with dogs, cats, people, and kids. She is currently being fostered in CT with young children who she absolutely adores! She is a super snuggle bug and she LOVES to get cozy and cuddle with her people on the couch or bed!   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 housebreaking/crate training.
