Story
This unbelievably amazing, gentle, loving boy is Kolby. He belonged to a family with several young children and was always the sweetest bestest boy. After the birth of their most recent child, his owner said she really doesn’t want to give him up, but just isn’t able to keep him anymore, not having the resources to do so. Kolby has been a family dog his whole life, always being tender, sweet and loving. He went to the pound and was just so devastated. You can tell by his soulful eyes that he’s an unbelievably kind and wonderful dog, and it broke everyone’s hearts to see him there. Fortunately this incredibly guy found a wonderful foster home to love and care for him until he finds his dream family! He hadn’t been reliably vetted through his life so he began having all of his medical work completed! He is weighing about 81 lbs now, and is a perfect age of 7 years young. He is champagne coloring, a blend of blue and red, with white. He has now had all of his vaccines completed, heartworm testing, deworming, microchipping, he’s current on flea, tick and heartworm preventative, and he’s neutered and just had a dental completed! This gentleman is ready to find true lifelong love. In foster care he’s been totally dreamy. Since day one he’s been fantastic with cats, humans of all ages, and wonderful with other dogs as well. He has an exceptionally lovely personality and is just the easiest guy to love. He has great manners in the house and has a medium activity level. He rises to any occasion but is not demanding. He loves to go on walks, hikes, car rides, or errands with you. He enjoys playing with other dogs and playing with children. He enjoys toys and is such a happy, loving pup. He’s also super gorgeous! He will be a wonderful companion to men, women and children, other pups and even kitties. He has so much love to give, and all he wants is to be loved in return. He’s such a big mush, and we just know there are super loving parents out there who will cherish and adore him! His primary requests are a home with humans who will snuggle him on the sofa and in bed, and a more rural or suburban home. He’s not a fan of the hustle and bustle of city life. He’s a relax in the yard, peaceful quiet walk, car ride, trip to Home Depot kinda guy. He loves to lay out on the deck and soak up the sun and watch the birds. A super loving home in a rural or suburban area where the pace is slower and the energy is easy going like this guy would be perfect! If this mushy, gorgeous, super sweet boy is your dream come true, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!!

Story
This unbelievably loving, gorgeous, sweet miracle girl is Snow White! She came into the pound after she was found wandering through traffic outside of a plaza, almost getting hit by several cars. It seems she was severely neglected and used for breeding, and just profoundly sad and defeated. When she came into the pound everyone’s heart was absolutely broken for her. She was so gentle and sweet with everyone, but just so sad and longing for love that she’s clearly never had. We have selected her for our home for the holidays program! She was in a kill shelter where no one could bear to put her down. No dog should ever go through life never having known love. She’s gone into an urgent short term foster care situation so that we can hopefully make her dreams come true! Snow White is 4 years old and a bit over 60 lbs. She’s a beautiful bully girl who came in looking like an entirely different dog. She’s made a radically beautiful transformation! She’s so gorgeous now and had all of her medical work completed! She’s current on all vaccines, deworming, heartworm test, and preventative and she’s also microchipped and spayed! She is an absolutely beautiful big mush with a big heart who is ready to find love! Snow Whites true love is people. Her biggest dream is to find a home where she is an only pet and can be truly loved. She loves to take walks, will go for a hike, will love riding in the passenger seat on car rides anywhere you want to go! She greets everyone with a smile and a tail wag, and is a true lover of all people. She is loving to live a life now where she can snuggle up on the sofa and watch a movie, sleep next to people at night, and feel the magic of a warm, loving, peaceful home. She just wants to be someone’s best friend and devoted companion. She’s ready to be an easy going devoted best friend. She loves to receive love, she is easy going and doesn’t require a crate but if you want her to go in when you’re not home she will kindly accept that. She walks well on leash, loads into the car well, and just has such a good heart. She would love to relax by your side in the summer months while you do outdoor chores, she’s really ready to devote herself to the true love she’s always dreamt of. She will be your absolute best girl if you just give her a chance. If she’s stolen your heart and you’d love to be the angel who gives her a bright future, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!

Story
Brie and Eclair are to absolutely adorable, mushy, tender sweet girls who have most definitely been longing for love their entire lives. They came into rescue after being abandoned on the side of the road when Brie was full term pregnant. People had left food out for them but they were otherwise left to fend for themselves and Brie gave birth in brush in a field. She and Eclair, whom we assume is her daughter, raised the cutest mushy roly poly little babies until our volunteers discovered them. They couldn’t believe what was going on and went out, fed them, loved on them, and packed the whole family up in the truck, when the babies were about 2 weeks old, and headed off. When they realized they were finally safe, these girls gave kisses and couldn’t stop wagging their tails. They were so so grateful to finally be in a safe place where they had food and water in their bowls, cozy blankets to snuggle up on, and loving humans! Weeks went on and the babies grew beautifully and strong. They then had their medical work done and found their forever homes! Since then, both Brie and Eclair have also had their medical work completed! Brie is the white girl, and Eclair is a brindle girl and they’re both so wonderfully mushy and loving. They are now current on vaccines, dewormed, heartworm tested, microchipped, they are current on preventative, and they’re both now spayed! They are healthy, happy, and ready to begin the next chapter of their lives together! Due to the obviously strong bond these girls have, we do not want to separate them. Brie is the more outgoing of the two, her tail always wagging and she’s always ready for a snuggle and some kisses! Eclair is the less confident of the two, but she still soaks up all the love she can get. Brie gives her wonderful assurance that the truly difficult part of life is in their past. We don’t know their history, but we can only assume being abandoned pregnant on the side of the road can only indicate that whomever had them in the past, was not a loving, nurturing person. They likely didn’t get the love and focused attention they craved in their old life, and are surely dreaming of parents who have tender, loving hearts and would love to have pups to cuddle with and who would love to show these beautiful girls how wonderful people can be and how beautiful the world truly is. They are doing great in their foster home! They are reliably going potty outside and loving to have a fenced yard to play in as well as relax out in the sun and soak up the warmth. They are country girls and are loving their time spent enjoying fresh air and summer weather. They love to snuggle up together on the sofa, and love it extra when one of their favorite humans is by their side! These girls truly do want parents who will give them lots of love and treat them as the babies they truly are in their hearts. They have such tender, soulful eyes and you can tell they just want a future that is warm, loving, safe and nurturing. Brie and Eclair are so beautiful, and have an endless amount of love to give. They are a wonderful bonded pair and can’t wait for amazing parents to pick them! If you’d love to make their dreams come true of a beautiful future together, full of love, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!!

Story
Meet Atticus, a SUPER sweet and lovable ~4 year old neutered male terrier/Boxer/lab mix (see pic of Embark DNA results), weighing about 54 lbs! This special boy was picked up as a stray by animal control in east TN. He spent some time in a shelter before being taken into rescue and transported up north, where he has been with his foster family for almost a year now. His foster family absolutely ADORES him and they don’t understand how he hasn’t been adopted yet, and neither do we! Atticus is a friendly, goofy lovebug who just wants to love and be loved He also thinks he is a lap dog and he dares you to tell him otherwise! He has a zest for life and you can tell by the way he looks at you with such love in his eyes that he is DEEPLY thankful for being given a second chance. He will make you laugh every single day with his silly antics, and then he will happily be your little spoon when you're ready for bed. He is also very smart and knows many commands, he is food motivated and a fast learner!  This handsome guy is a true social butterfly! He absolutely LOVES people, and he is excellent with kids. He loves vigorous pets and butt scratches, and he will happily wiggle his WHOLE body with excitement when you give him attention! He gives the best hugs and kisses and makes the cutest like piggy noises when he is happy   Atticus does well with the resident dogs in his foster home, but he is dog selective and is typically not a fan of large fluffy dogs or dominant dogs. He tends to do better with dogs who are smaller than him. He does have some resource guarding tendencies when it comes to other dogs and food/treats (we always recommend feeding dogs separately regardless). He has not shown any resource guarding tendencies with people, only with other dogs. He has not been cat treated, so we are unsure how he would do with cats.  Atticus came to us with some reactivity to other dogs, which has unfortunately caused him to not "show" well at adoption events. His foster family has been working hard with him on this, with the help of K9 Rehab in Watertown, CT. He is now e-collar trained and walks beautifully on leash, even surrounded by other dogs. We are SO proud of the amazing progress he has made! As part of their Underdog program, K9 Rehab has generously offered continued training classes to Atticus’s adopter for FREE!  Atticus’s ideal home is one where he will be a cherished family member and given the love and attention that he so deserves. He is happiest when he is with his people, so it is important that he goes to a home where he will be welcomed on the couch and in his human’s bed - he is the perfect snuggle buddy! Additionally, we would like to see Atticus go to someone who is willing to keep up with his training to help him be the best version of himself. He is a truly wonderful dog who will absolutely thrive in the right home, and we just know that home is out there. Atticus is medically up to date and housebroken. Apply to meet this special boy 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! ##2553222##
