Story
Meet Bruno, a handsome young neutered male mixed breed doggo! Recent DNA shows 29% Plott hound, 12% Chihuahua (), and several other breeds at smaller percentages. He is 50% hound breeds - full DNA results available on request. He is approximately 1 year old and weighs about 37 lbs - the perfect size!
Pictures really don't do this guy justice, he's got the most beautiful brindle coat and the BEST ears! He also has the cutest little nub of a tail that wiggles a mile a minute when he is happy (which is often!)
Bruno is a friendly, energetic boy who gets along well with other dogs, people, and kids (we recommend older kids 8+ as he is an exuberant young guy and may unintentionally knock over a small child). He has not been cat tested, so we are unsure how he would do with cats. Bruno can do a 1 week foster to adopt trial with an approved adopter so you can see how he settles in before committing to adoption.
Bruno is smart and food motivated, he has been taking training classes to work on manners and impulse control, and he has been doing GREAT! The ideal home for Bruno is one where he will get plenty of mental and/or physical stimulation to set him up for success. He would also LOVE a fenced in yard of his own and maybe another playful pup in the home to keep him company!
From Bruno's current foster:
"Bruno came to Connecticut early September, thought to be an older puppy or young adult. Happily, absolutely no aggression, but lots of energy. Fast forward three months, and he is a great dog, LOVES training and has great focus! He is very food motivated. He enjoys our fenced yard and chew bones, and loves his weekly training sessions, where he has mastered look, touch, sit, down, wait and leave it.
I know he can be your forever companion as long as he has an active life or daily job. Maybe agility? Hiking? With more training, maybe a service dog or companion dog? Bruno is not a great match for someone working away from home 8 hrs/day, a first time dog owner who wants “an easy pet” or a family with small members as he is exuberant."
Bruno is medically up to date, 95% housebroken (expect accidents the first few days while adjusting to a new home/routine), and crate trained. Apply to meet this special boy today!

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!
