Story
Meet Sophie! Sophie is a beautiful 5-year-old Shetland Sheepdog weighing about 28 pounds. Her life was recently turned upside down when her owner became ill and could no longer care for her. Sophie is now searching for a loving, quiet home where she can feel safe and secure. She thrives in the company of other playful dogs, so a home with canine companions would be ideal. Sophie doesn't like men or fears them, and may nip out of fear, so she needs a women-only home where she can relax and build confidence. She has not been around children and would do best in an adult household. Sophie is potty trained and crate trained, but she still needs some work on her manners and basic commands. She is also learning how to walk nicely on a leash, so patience and positive training will go a long way in helping her blossom. Sophie is fully vetted—spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, and on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. 📍 Adoption Info: Sophie is available for adoption in Arkansas. We can also adopt to neighboring states, but her adopter must be willing to travel to Arkansas to pick her up. If you’re ready to give this sweet girl the safe and loving home she deserves, please complete our adoption application today.

Story
Meet Zeus, a handsome 8 year old neutered male Corgi, weighing approx. 30 lbs! Zeus was surrendered to PRL through no fault of his own, due to significant changes in his owner's living situation. He has been loved and well cared for, and the owner chose to surrender him to a rescue to ensure he would be safe and would go to a good home.  Zeus is a friendly boy who does well with other dogs. He has not been cat tested, so we are unsure how he would do with cats. His previous owner has stated that he tends to be a little nervous around small children, so older children 10+ or adults only would be best.  Zeus is medically up to date and housebroken. A 100% good doggo! Apply to meet this special boy today! **Zeus will not be available until our 12/14/25 adoption event at Petco in Dayville, CT. We are accepting applications on him now! We will prioritize applicants who are able to attend the 12/14 event. If Zeus is not adopted at the event, we will move on to other applicants.** 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! ##2600282##

Story
Meet Wynn, a handsome young adult (estimated age 1-2 years) neutered male corgi mix who is every bit as sweet as he is good looking! Somebow Wynn found himself in an overcrowded kill shelter in east TN, which is no place for such a well mannered friendly guy like Wynn. We pulled him and placed him into a loving foster home, where he has been doing amazingly well! His TN foster reports that Wynn gets along great with other dogs of all sizes, he has been very chill and laid back with every dog he has met so far! He has a great temperament and is good with people and kids as well (not cat tested, so we are unsure how he would do with cats). Wynn is medically up to date, housebroken, and crate trained. A 100% good doggo! Apply to meet this special boy today! **Wynn will not be available until our 1/11/26 adoption event at Petco in Dayville, CT. We are accepting applications on him now!
