Unfortunately my Abbie will sneak away and go upstairs to my daughter's home and urinate on her carpet. She does go outside but will go on a carpet if she can. Need home with no area rugs or carpets. No very young children. Tolerates other dogs but would probably prefer to be alone. 1000 percent lovable lap dog

Story
DOB 6-11-2025 This gorgeous little boy named Natan is a sweetheart. He is a little shy, gets along with other little dogs, loves to play and is social. Natan is up to date on shots and a healthy boy! Natan's adoption fee is 900.00 and his transport fee is 165.00. Our transport is HEARTS LLC, they run every other week to their stops on the East Coast. They are the best transport and the only one we will use. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

Story
  Meet Bianca, a SUPER cute female Maltese/Chinese crested mix adult. Bianca is the mother of our B litter! Bianca (about 16 lb and 1.5 years old) was found on the streets of Waterbury, CT on 1/29/2026. The puppies were recently weaned so Bianca will be spayed soon. She is ready to go to her furever home and we are accepting applications on her now! Bianca is good with dogs and is a very sweet lapdog! She is housebroken and great on a leash. 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! ##2690258##

Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
It was 5am. The call went out: Send the Police! 🚨 Adorned in protective gear, the police approached the house timidly - unsure what they'd find inside. The homeowner had called frantically. A monster may be lying in wait...As the door sprung open, a demon emerged: fluffy, 12lb, 8 year old Christopher. Street name: Christo-FURY.Look at him the wrong way, and he'll have something to say. Interrupt his nap and you'll never hear the end of it. While he may look like a perfectly cuddly lapdog, he is ANYTHING BUT. That 5am call to the police about a 12lb dog terrorizing her? That's true...and, that's how Christopher finds himself with us now. A wannabe police dog, this Maltese/Shih Tzu mix found himself on the outside looking in at the Police Dog Academy. HIs bark found insufficiently fearsome, and his tiny frame unfit for the riggers of police life. Now: all bark, no badge. Many things offend our little ChristoFURY. On the short list: men, children, strangers, neighbors, delivery people, repairmen, vets, groomers, sharing food, big or energetic dogs.Christopher definitely has some good qualities, too. He's quite a charmer with the ladies - often able to hide his devious side. Christopher gives plenty of warning if you learn his rules and listen to them. He's a good walker, non-shedding, and smart. Overall, Christopher is in great health other than a mild heart murmur which doesn't require medication. Beyond a patient one, we aren't sure what home will suit this little devil best. He may accept the presence of another chill dog, does not want kisses goodnight or to be woken up too early in the morning, and can be bribed with chicken and cheese. If you are still reading and thinking this sounds like a great dog to adopt, please make an appointment with a good therapist(KIDDING), and apply at RBARI.org/dogs so we can broker a meeting with ChristoFURY.If you think you can "fix" him, don't bother - those relationships never work out if you aren't ready to accept each other flaws and all, and he's done with trying to fit into society's convention of what a "pet" should be and looking to live life on his terms - with the rap sheet to prove it. Primary Color: White Age: 8yrs 9mths 0wks
