Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Myles — a happy, lovable Maltipoo who’s ready to find his forever family! Born around March 12, 2025, Myles weighs 17.6 pounds and is full of personality. He came to us as part of a 29-dog seizure where, although the dogs were cared for, they didn’t get the individual attention and socialization they needed. Despite that, Myles has proven to be incredibly friendly and people-loving. He thrives on attention and is always excited to be around his humans. Myles also has a playful side—he absolutely loves toys and is always up for some fun. Whether it’s a game of toss or just carrying his favorite toy around, he knows how to enjoy life. He’s currently learning how to walk on a leash and will benefit from a patient adopter who can continue helping him build confidence and skills. With his sweet nature and eagerness to connect, Myles is sure to make a wonderful companion. Myles’ adoption fee is $400. If you’re ready to welcome this charming boy into your home, you can apply at www.adoggie4you.org . This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $250. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 19, 2026, 4:30 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Magnum — a sweet little Maltipoo with a big heart and an even bigger personality. Born around July 12, 2025, Magnum’s journey hasn’t always been easy. He came to us scared and trembling, unsure of the world around him. He was part of a 29-dog seizure where, although he was cared for, there were simply too many dogs for proper socialization. Since then, Magnum has blossomed into a playful, affectionate companion who is learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. He absolutely adores toys and will happily keep himself (and you) entertained. He also gets along wonderfully with other animals, making him a great addition to a multi-pet home. Magnum is still working on a few basics—like learning to walk on a leash—but with patience and love, he’s sure to pick it up quickly. His gentle spirit and eagerness to bond make him a truly special pup. Magnum’s weighs 12.2 pounds and his adoption fee is $400. If you’re ready to give this deserving boy the forever home he’s been waiting for, you can apply at www.adoggie4you.org This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $250. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.

Story
Meet Beebee, a SUPER cute male Maltese/small terrier mix puppy and part of the B litter! The 7 pups in the B litter were born to mama Bianca (18 lb Maltese mix, found on the streets of Waterbury, CT) on 1/29/2026. They will be ready to go to their furever homes once they turn 8 weeks old on 3/26, and we are accepting applications on them now! Beebee is the runt of the litter, weighing just 5.3 oz at birth. He lost 1.5 oz within 16 hours of birth and struggled to nurse from mom His amazing foster mama stepped in and started bottle feeding him around the clock. It was touch and go for a bit, but thankfully this litter fighter slowly started gaining weight and thriving! He now weighs 1 lb at 6 weeks old, we expect his adult weight to be under 10 lbs (probably about 5-6 lbs based on his current age and size). He is a VERY special, strong little boy who has come so far!!   Beebee 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. He is medically up to date (age appropriate) and working on housebreaking and crate training. Apply to meet this floofy cutie 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! ##2683105##
