Story
**This dog is eligible for the April Adopt-a-Thon promo! Listed adoption fee will be reduced by $200 for all eligible dogs adopted by 4/30/25.** Meet Kobey, a handsome 8-9 month old neutered male Australian Cattle Dog (heeler) mix puppy! He is expected to grow to a medium sized dog. Kobey can be a little shy at first, but he is a typical happy, playful puppy who loves everyone! He does enjoy human interaction, but he's also independent when needed! Good with other dogs, cats, people, and kids.  He is medically up to date, housebroken, and crate trained. Kobey would do great with an active family familiar with herding breeds - although comparative to other herding dogs, he's a bit of a couch potato. He is a very smart, sweet boy who can't wait to find his furever home!  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! ##2288201##

"The Ultimate Adventure Buddy!" Are you ready to add some joy to your life?! Meet Dottie, a beautiful 9 month old spayed female Australian Cattle Dog/Rat Terrier mix! Born to mama Bessie on June 4, 2024, Dottie is one of the "7 Cowgirl Puppies." DNA testing on her sister confirms their primary breeds as  Australian Cattle Dog, Rat Terrier,and Australian Shepherd. Dottie is a petite girl weighing about 25 lbs, she may fill out a little bit more but we don't expect her to get much bigger. Dottie is a little shy at first, but she warms up quickly and is a very sweet, loving pup! She walks great on leash and is always up for a play session! She is good with other dogs and people (she has a high prey drive so no cats for this girl). Due to her breed mix and herding instincts, we recommend older kids 8+, or families experienced with herding breeds. Dottie is medically up to date, mostly housebroken (she has occasional accidents when not kept on a schedule), and crate trained (she LOVES her crate!).  Apply to meet this special girl today and get ready for a lifetime of laughter, adventure, and unconditional love!  Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable.

Story
Meet Royalty, a sweet 1 year old spayed female kelpie/terrier mix! She's a great size at about 26 lbs.  Royalty is a shy girl at first, who takes some time to warm up to new people (especially men). However, she comes around with a little love and patience! Due to her shyness, we recommend a home with no kids. Royalty LOVES other dogs and would do best in a home with a doggo sibling(s) to play with, keep her company, and remind her to come out of her shell ! She has not been cat tested, so we are unsure how she would do with cats. From Royalty's current foster:  "Royalty has settled into the daily routine quite well! Including hall zoomies with her stuffies, playtime with her foster doggo sibling, cuddles, belly rubs, "yoga stretch" time and walks.  Relationships to males has been wary, but her foster dad is now her friend. She is crate trained and ideally needs go outside every few hours if not crated. Royalty would have preferred to sleep in a human bed last night but was coaxed easily to her crate after some snuggles." She is medically up to date, pee pad trained and working on housetraining, and crate trained. Apply to meet this special girl today!
