Story
Welcome Max to CCPAL Rescue. He is a Smooth Coated Collie/Heeler mix is our best guess. He weighs 35 pounds and he loves other dogs. He is very dog friendly with all types of other dogs. He is friendly with the horses and the donkeys in his foster home. He is good on a leash, potty trained and super affectionate. He knows sit and does it very well. He is very attentive and follows direction easily. He knows shake a paw with both paws and is great on a leash. He was an outside dog in his first home and a good Samaritan took him in. He has been with a vet that had PTSD and is sometimes too rough with him. He is very loving to women and also loves men after being at the Rescue for only a week or two. He loves all people and once he knows he is safe bonds deeply and is extremely loyal and devoted companion. He would be great for a hiker, walker, jogger or any one who wants a good companion to take with you. He would be great in a doggy daycare setting as he easily gets along well with all dog personalities. He is vaccinated, healthy, neutered and ready for his forever home. He loves children with open arms and has been around them regularly. This is a WONDERFUL dog and will be a great addition to any family wanting an easy dog to bring in. He would be great for a more novice adopter as he is smart, skilled and follows direction easily. He would be a great dog for a family with children. We like them to be 8 or older. He is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org/ See his cute video.

Story
Meet Kendra, a beautiful 8-9 month old spayed female Australian Cattle Dog (heeler) mix puppy! She is expected to grow to a medium sized dog. Kendra can be a little shy at first, but she does LOVE human interaction! Good with other dogs, cats, people, and kids. She's a respectful girl and loves cuddles, attention, and is so eager to find her own family. She is medically up to date, partially housebroken, and crate trained. Kendra would do great with an active family familiar with herding breeds. She is a very smart, sweet girl who can't wait to find her 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! ##2288194##

"The Ultimate Adventure Buddy!" Are you ready to add some joy to your life?! Meet Dottie, a beautiful 11 month old spayed female Australian Cattle Dog/Rat Terrier mix! She is the perfect size at about 25 lbs. 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
AS OF MAY 5, 2025 – Flint and Ember are located around Wayland, MA (16-19 lbs each) Blaze is located in Ellington, CT (17 lbs) Forest is adopted If applying to adopt, you must be willing to drive to the location or around the location of the foster to be able to meet them/pick them up. Here’s what the new fosters for these 3 had to say: Blaze – SUPER playful, energetic and loving. Loves his 2 other dogs. Loves to cuddle. Obsessed with the bed. Learning to walk on a leash/harness. Learning crate training fast! Ember/Flint – Very similar to Blaze – LOVE playing, love everyone they meet. Both walk great on harness/leash. Love to go on adventures. Learning house training fast. Here’s their general information Ember, Blaze, Forest and Flint are 4 full of spunk and fire litter. They are some of the sweetest, cuddliest, funniest puppies, who are truly full of spunk and entertainment. These 4 pups were found alone, with no mom, dad or owners in sight. They were almost skin and bones when a good Samaritan found them, and got them to safety. These sweet babies have spent the last few weeks in a home, getting lots of love, food and care. We believe they were born around mid February. As of 4/7, they weighed in around 5-6 lbs each. These babies are just learning what the world around them is. They’re very curious and they love to get into everything and learn what things are and how to do things. They’re not scared to try anything. They are exploring all they can! They love to be held and loved on. They’ll fall asleep in your arms if you cradle them and rock them to sleep. They’re only small babies so house training really isn’t in the works right now, but they are very smart pups. They won’t have any issues learning once they’re adopted and have more one on one works with their new families. We do not know what breed they are but if we had to guess – we estimate they’ll be around 45-50 lbs once full grown. They definitely look to have some Australian cattle dog x in them. They are your typical happy, fun-loving puppies that love life and are VERY outgoing, friendly and love everyone they meet. They love other dogs and don’t even mind cats (the cats are bigger than them currently!) Blaze, Ember, Flint and Forest would be wonderful with children. Please make sure to supervise all children as the puppies are quite small and fragile. These puppies are current on vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, current on dewormer (yuck, lots of those!), and will be microchipped prior to adoption. To apply to adopt 1 of these babies you can fill out an application on our website at www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org
