Story
Meet sweet, gentle, loving girl Harper. She's an easy girl to have around and provides great company whether it be going for a walk, sunbathing in the yard, or playing with her favorite toys. She's so very gentle, loves human attention and engages well in her surroundings. She enjoys being doted on, receiving belly rubs and being the center of attention. She has that endearing hound hoot bark when she feels the need to alert you of something nearby. She enjoys being pet and really enjoys being brushed while laying down soaking up the warmth of the sun. She is playful with her toys - tossing them in the air, chasing after them, and enjoys the benefits of a good chew toy. This girl would be great in a home that is gentle yet active to keep her physically and mentally stimulated. A fenced in yard is a definite plus because she very much enjoys the freedom of lounging in the yard. She walks well on leash and is spayed, micro-chipped and up to date with vaccinations. She weighs approximately 85 lbs and estimated to have been born around 9/1/22. Please note, if you're not ready to adopt but would consider fostering Harper, we would love to share with your what that means and how much of a positive difference you'd be making in a life of a dog that needs you.

Story
Meet Buddy – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Perfect Match! Buddy is a senior Ridgeback/Black Mouth Cur mix with a heart full of love and a personality that shines once he feels safe. He may be shy at first and take some time to decompress, but once he’s comfortable, his sweet and gentle nature comes through. Buddy absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys their company. He is both house-trained and crate-trained—in fact, his crate is his happy place! When left alone, he prefers the security of his kennel, and even when his humans are home, he often chooses to relax there with the door open. This lovable senior does well on a leash and would thrive in a quiet, low-energy home with a patient adopter who understands that he needs time to adjust. While he hasn't been around young children, his gentle nature suggests he would be great with them. We don’t know how he is with cats, but he gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Buddy’s favorite toys are anything soft and squishy, and he enjoys the simple comforts of companionship. He would be the perfect match for someone looking for a loving, loyal companion who doesn’t need a high-energy lifestyle. With patience and understanding, Buddy has so much love and potential to share. Are you the kind soul ready to give Buddy the forever home he deserves?

Story
Goose is a 10-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback/Lab mix who brings happiness everywhere he goes. He's energetic, loving, and full of life, always ready for a walk, a good scratch, or a peanut-butter-filled Kong. Goose greets everyone with the same big enthusiasm, whether you've been gone for three hours or three weeks, and he loves nothing more than settling in and snoozing on your feet afterward. He would thrive in a home without young children, with people who enjoy staying active and can give him the attention he adores. He is sure to fill your home with warmth, smiles, and endless tail wags. If you're interested in learning more about Mr. Goose, please contact Helpline@OurCompanions.org or call 860-242-9999.

Story
Meet Dylan! A neutered male ~6 month old Catahoula mix weighing about 30 lbs. Dylan loves to play, eat and cuddle with you! He is crate and house trained. Dylan 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. His foster said, "I love when my fosters enjoy going for car rides and are so relaxed! Nothing better than seeing them happy and enjoying the day! He is doing great with house and crate training! Dylan loves to play and cuddle!"  Dylan update: Two weeks in, and I can’t even begin to express how wonderful this dog is! Dylan is SO smart! He’s learned sit, stay, come, and is almost there with down lol. He’ll even give you his paw when asked! I’m so impressed with him.  Also we weighed him and he is 32lbs now He LOVES playing with his toys, playing with Cody, and just relaxing while chewing on his chews. Dylan has been making great progress with some initial training, and I couldn’t be happier with where he is right now!  We went to Petco, and he absolutely loved it! He had people coming up to him with no problems, he was loving all the attention! Whatever family ends up adopting Dylan is going to be one lucky family. He’s such a smart, sweet, and amazing dog, and I know he’s going to make someone very happy. Now we just need to find that special family who will give this boy the forever home he deserves! 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! ##2853132##
