Story
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. Apply to meet this special boy 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! ##2155977##

Story
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.

Labrador Retriever

Story
Cooper was brought to me as a last ditch effort to figure out what his behavioral triggers are and hopefully to help him find a much deserved well-fit forever home. Cooper is a BIG, handsome American Yellow lab. He is well behaved at the vet and during grooming (nail trims, baths, etc.). He is extremely smart and perceptive–unlike any other dog I’ve seen in the last 24 years, you cannot fake your way out of your emotions and energy with Coop. He will know exactly what you’re meaning & feeling regardless of what you’re trying to portray to him. As a lover of dogs and a trainer for over 24 years, I find him fascinating to work with because he keeps you honest. Although this is not confirmed, Cooper shows reactivity in and around his crate that strongly indicates that he was abused as a young dog. Cooper also has some serious resource guarding issues with food and high value treats. We are thinking that these two issues are somehow connected and related to the abuse. Working with a professional trainer for the last 7 months, he has made strides in improving both his crate and food reactivity. Coop has the potential to become a great companion for THE RIGHT ADOPTER. He will need the proper structure to thrive. I could see him being: -A fantastic hunting dog– his nose is amazing and he loves to use it! -A great companion to any dog behaviorist, or trainer in training, looking to fine-tune their skills on a truly dog-brained dog. -A great physical fitness buddy for someone who is active and outdoorsy Coop, outside of his predictable crate and food issues, is a near perfect working dog or companion. He will pretty much do anything for food. He certainly is an opportunist and is so food driven–he knows if you’re not paying attention, and he will be eating every crumb and surfing every counter he can find. He learns quickly and will execute his new skills with style. Despite the resource guarding of his food, he will take any treat happily out of your hands without even a hint of aggression. Coop LOVES other dogs. He loves to play and plays hard. He is submissive to strong, confident energy and has been around hundreds of dogs over the last 7 months and has had no trouble with any of them during play. He’s a big fan of hikes and walks, and is sweet as pie outside of his issues with his crate and food. Once Coop establishes trust, he dulls down on his reactivity, but by no means would I ever say it will completely be overcome. This is a dog that has likely endured some serious hands-on abuse and needs a confident, strong, calm, and understanding owner to help him continue to succeed on his journey to improved behavior. After these months of extensive rehabilitation, structure, and training, I can now put him in his crate, hand him his meals, tell him to leave it and have him go back to it without issue. He trusts me and understands I’m not here to hurt him or take his food, but it took a lot of hard work. As such, we are looking for an adopter who understands his needs. Cooper absolutely should not have a novice owner who hasn’t had experience working with reactive dogs. He needs an owner who likes to establish structure and who will set him up for success in his problem areas. He needs a STRONG, calm and confident owner to help him thrive. He needs somebody who will create hard boundaries for him. If Cooper sounds like he might be a good fit for you, you will need to meet with him multiple times and learn what it will take to set him up for success. He is a gem of a dog that can make the best companion to the right owner; you will learn and grow so much together. If you do not fit this adoptive description, please do not apply for Coop. This is a delicate situation that could lead to Coop losing his life if anyone tries to take him on without being TRULY qualified. Please inquire if you are interested in applying (serious inquiries only)
