Story

Meet Rylo, a super sweet neutered male shih tzu mix, weighing about 13 lbs! Rylo has an excellent temperament - he is a happy, friendly boy who gets along well with other dogs, people, and kids. He has not been cat tested, but we feel he would likely be fine with cats. He is medically up to date, housebroken (expect accidents the first few days while adjusting to a new home/routine), and crate trained. Apply to meet this special boy today! **Rylo 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 Rylo 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! ##2579461##

Story

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This cute little boy is ANDY, he was named Raggedy ANDY because he looks so bad full of mats and overgrown hair. He had been on the streets a long time by no fault of his own. Someone on a street in San Antonio knew him and his owner. His owner died and the family put poor ANDY on the streets. The neighbors felt sorry for him and would take turns feeding him. Once the winter got cold on a 26 degree night, a friendly neighbor put a sweater on him and allowed him to sleep in their gargage but that neighbor too tossed him back on the streets. Another neighbor could not stand it any longer and called me to take him in. It took 2 days to groom ANDY with the hard mounds of mats on him and he just sat there very quiet and patiently waiting to get all of the stuff off of him. Pictures are available. ANDY is 2 years old and 18 pounds and a great little guy. He really likes following me around but he is pretty independent, not a velcro dog although he does like to cuddle and be close to watch TV. He walks very well on a leash and does not get car sick and of course he still very well for a bath and to be groomed which he will need to be groomed about every 6-8 weeks. He gets along with the other foster dogs, crate and potty trained. If you are interested in adopting ANDY please submit an application on the website below. Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org ADOPTION FEE & APPLICATION REQUIRED Roxxy's K-9 Rescue does not have a shelter, all of our dogs are raised in foster homes.

Story

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This stout short & stocky guy reminds me of a heavy and strong TANK so that is what I named him. He is 35 pounds and a medium-small dog that is 5 years old and just built sturdy and solid. He has a bit of Shih Tzu in him with that Terrier. Now his personality is just the opposite, he is sooooo well-mannered with a curious behavior. He follows me around like a student waiting for me to guide him and teach him what to do. TANK is mellow, very quiet and just goes with the flow. He never bothers the other foster dogs and they do not bother him. He is crate and potty trained, walks well on a leash and jumps right in the car ready to go wherever. This guy would be a great first dog or a dog for someone who is not that active because the daily maintenance on him is very low. He does enjoy a leisurely walk though because he likes to sightsee. We know he is some type of terrier mix but not sure what kind and he will probably need to be groomed every 3-4 months to keep his pretty golden coat looking good. If you are interested in adopting TANK, please submit an application on the website below.

Story

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This stunning, smiling little guy is ROCK. Maybe I should not say little as he weighs a whopping 25 pounds, which is kind of big for a Shih Tzu but he is that. The vet says he needs to lose at least 20. He is 4 years old. ROCK was an owner surrender to a small Texas shelter from the son of an 83 year old man who has dementia. We are hoping to place ROCK in a home that he'll be happy and keep that glowing smile! He is in a foster home with other dogs as we do not have a shelter. I do not have any cats so I do not know how he would do with them. ROCK likes to hang around you but he is independent and quietly follows you around the house. He is not a barker unless he wants something. I do not have a doggy door, I just let the dogs out of my backdoor every few hours for a potty break and that is the word I use 'Potty.' Even though he has not missed a meal, he does enjoy breakfast and dinner time! He walks well on a leash, rides in the car without getting sick and would make a good companion for anyone. If you are interested in adopting ROCK, please submit an application on the website below.
