Story
Meet Royalty, a sweet ~1-2 year old spayed female kelpie/terrier mix! She's a great size at about 32 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! She does best being introduced to new people slowly, sometimes outside throwing her treats. Fast movements and loud noises make her nervous and she may bark and/or growl. Because of this, we recommend a home with no young children. She does ok with older/dog savvy kids and has warmed up to her foster mom's grandson and will happily go for walks and cuddle with him! If you are patient with her and let her come to you on her own terms, she will eventually reward you with lots of cuddles and kisses once she has deemed you safe! Royalty is an energetic girl who enjoys going on walks and would love a fenced in yard of her own to run around and get out her energy! She also loves bones, lick mats, and puzzle toys. She is a very smart girl and knows many commands, including "sit", "down", "wait", "let's go", "paw", "other paw", and "leave it"! She is very food motivated and eager to learn - she would be a great candidate for training games and maybe even agility. She does great with other dogs after a proper intro and is BFFs with her foster fur sibling! She would love a confident, well adjusted doggo friend to show her the ropes and help her learn to build her confidence. She is a herder and will chase cats and small animals, so no feline friends for this girl. Royalty is medically up to date, housebroken, and crate trained. Apply to meet this special girl 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! ##2338111##

Story
Meet Dobby, a friendly ~1-2 year old spayed female Australian Cattle Dog/Basenji mix! This girl is the perfect size and full grown at about 40 lbs. She has the BEST giant ears, which is how she earned her name!  Dobby is a very sweet, outgoing girl who LOVES other dogs, people, and kids! Due to her exuberant nature, we recommend older kids 8+ as she may unintentionally knock over a small child. She attended doggy daycare while being fostered in TN, and she got along well with all of the dogs there. Since she has been in New England, she was fostered with two 120 lb Great Pyrs who she also got along very well with! Currently, she is being fostered in CT at another doggy daycare and is having a blast! She loves to play with her doggo friends and would be thrilled to have another young, playful pup to share her home with. Dobby does ok with dog savvy cats (will initially bark at them and will chase if they run, but she responds well to being told NO and she learned to respect the cat in her prior foster home).  She is an energetic girl who loves to play with other dogs, she also loves toys and a good game of tug! She would LOVE a fenced in yard of her own to get out her zoomies. Dobby would make an excellent hiking and/or running buddy, she would love to join you on all of your adventures and then nap on the couch with you afterwards (she loves to snuggle!). She also walks very well on leash and is not a big puller (unless she sees a squirrel or other critter). She is a super smart and trainable pup!  From Dobby's current foster:  "Dobby is definitely a high energy girl which has proved a perfect match for my high energy pups who don’t get enough play. Dobby gets along with everyone, sleeps like a rock through the night and loves a bone to keep her busy when it’s quiet time. Dobby is learning that excitement is always a good thing but jumping on someone is not always cool when you’re not prepared. Dobby is super smart and would love a job so if you have a dog who would love a play companion or if agility is your thing, Dobby is for you!" Dobby is medically up to date, crate trained, and housebroken. Apply to meet this special girl today! She is SO deserving of a furever home of her own!

Story
Meet Champ, a ~1 year old neutered male Australian Shepherd/Collie mix, weighing about 45 lbs! This handsome boy is very sweet but timid. He has been working on building his confidence in his foster home. He was definitely undersocialized as a young pup, and as a result, he is unsure of new people/places/things at first. He needs a little time and patience to warm up, but he is SO worth the wait! He is good with other dogs, people, and older kids 8+ who know to respect a dog's space (due to his nervous/timid nature, also as a young herding breed, he may try to herd small children). He has not been cat tested, so we are unsure how he would do with cats.  Champ is very smart and a quick learner, which is definitely the Aussie in him! He is an energetic boy who would love a fenced in yard of his own to get out his zoomies and play some fetch! He would also be thrilled to have a confident doggo sibling to help show him the ropes.  He is medically up to date, housebroken, and crate trained.
