Story
Teddy White is a 6-year-old, 15-pound bundle of love! Our best guess is that he's a Shih Tzu/Maltese/Schnauzer mix, but whatever his breed makeup may be, one thing is certain—he's an absolute sweetheart. Teddy's favorite place is right next to his person. He is affectionate, gentle, and loves being part of the family. He gets along wonderfully with all the dogs in his foster home and is beginning to discover how much fun toys can be. This handsome boy walks nicely on leash, sleeps quietly through the night with his foster mom, and has an easygoing personality that makes him a joy to be around. Teddy is the kind of dog who will happily keep you company wherever you go and fill your days with love and companionship. He is sure to make one lucky family very happy.

Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, riding along on errands, or simply soaking up affection, Trixie and Trigger are ready to be your loyal sidekicks. Both are crate trained and have left the puppy shenanigans behind, making them easygoing companions who are ready to enjoy the simple pleasures of life: comfy beds, tasty treats, gentle walks, and plenty of cuddles.

Story
Meet Pookie, an older adult (approx. 10 years old) male Maltese weighing about 8 lbs!  Pookie is too old to neuter and doesn't have many teeth but he is the sweetest boy! Pookie arrived in CT on 6/13. We are accepting applications for him now! He is a very sweet boy and great with everyone and other dogs! His foster said, "Pookie is the perfect gentlemen lap dog!" Pookie is medically up to date, and is working on house and crate training. Apply to meet this special pup 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! ##2752501##

Story
Meet Winston, an adult (approx. 5 years old) neutered male Wire Terrier mix, weighing about 15 lbs!  Winston is arrived in CT on 5/30. We are accepting applications on him now! He will be required to attend our adoption event in Dayville, CT on 6/14. His fosters said, "Winston is very sweet with people but is not comfortable with young children. He is working on being more comfortable with being on a leash." And "Winston is an absolute dream. He is my little shadow who follows me around the house and outside. He loves to cuddle and gaze at you with such love. He loves treats and fetch. And he has learned how to use the doggie door. He has a cute little snore when he sleeps." Winston is medically up to date, housebroken, and crate trained. He is good with dogs and cats but we recommend children over 10 years old. Apply to meet this special pup today!
