Story
Molly is a very low key and sweet senior. She is mostly stressed and shy in the kennel environment but when we let her hang out in the office she LOVES to look out the window and enjoy the view! She’ll sometimes get the zoomies and seems much happier with a little freedom and a less stressful environment. She will become a whole new dog once she gets her new forever home and will surely love being by her peoples side for lots of love and attention. She is a low energy and easy dog to manage that would easily fit into anyone's lifestyle. If you’re looking for a low maintenance little senior sweetheart Ms. Molly is here waiting for you!     APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  19 lbs. ESTIMATED DOB:  7/9/2017 GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS:  yes GOOD WITH KIDS:  unknown GOOD WITH CATS:  unknown REQUIRES A FENCE:  no ACTIVITY LEVEL:  low-med LIKES TO VOCALIZE:  some SPECIAL NEEDS:  no BREED EXPERIENCE NEEDED: no  APPROPRIATE PLACEMENT FOR 1ST TIME DOG OWNER? yes  FREE OBEDIENCE TRAINING IS OFFERED WITH ALL DOG ADOPTIONS ​Please note that we are often asked if dogs are "house trained".  The dogs are in fact living in a kennel environment during their time with us.  Even if they have previously lived in a home and been trained - the stress of the change and the new home can sometimes cause regression and require some additional training.  We feel that it's best for all adopters to be prepared for this possibility. Visit our adoption page for details about our process, and to fill out an adoption application.  All animals come spayed/neutered, UTD on vaccines, and microchipped.  If the animals age or health prevents any of these from being completed prior to adoption a voucher is issued for the services to be performed.  If you have any questions about the animal, or our adoption process, please email adopt@littleguild.org.  The Little Guild is a 501c(3) federally recognized non-profit organization devoted to saving the lives of homeless pets.  August 21, 2026, 3:10 pm

Story
Hi! I'm Vinny, an adoriable black and white mix breed pup, and I'm currently accepting applications for my very own adventure buddy... preferably one with treats. I'm equal parts zoomies, cuddles, and puppy mischief. If there's a leaf blowing across the yard, I'm chasing it. If there's a toy lying around, it's mine now. And if you're sitting on the couch... well, I'm pretty sure there's room for me too! I'm a happy little guy who loves being outside, exploring the world, and making new doggie friends. I get along great with other dogs and kids, so I'd fit right into a family that's ready for fun. Whether we're hiking a trail, playing fetch, or just running circles around the backyard for absolutely no reason, I'm always ready for the next adventure. Don't let all that puppy energy fool you—I have a soft side too. After a day of playing, I'm all about snuggles, belly rubs, and curling up next to my favorite humans. Since I'm still just a puppy, I'm learning all the important things like good manners and being the best boy I can be. With a little patience, some treats (lots of treats), and plenty of love, I'll grow into an incredible lifelong companion. Life is simply more fun with a puppy, and I plan to make you laugh every single day. I can't promise I won't steal a sock or two... but I can promise to steal your heart. ❤️

Story
5 mos 25 lbs Have you seen my eyes? I think they’re my best feature! My beautiful golden eyes really shine against my rich chocolate-brown coat, and they always seem to catch everyone’s attention. I’m not just handsome—I’m a fun-loving pup too! I get along great with other dogs and love romping around the yard, chasing my friends and exploring every corner. When playtime is over, I’m ready to settle down for some love and attention. I’m hoping my forever family sees how special I am. Maybe those gorgeous eyes will lead me straight to you! This puppy Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies that are adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368. WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you! More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get an automatically generated confirmation email. Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back. After receipt of your application, an adoption counselor will then be in touch to answer your questions about this pup, discuss the adoption process and get the ball rolling! If you have not heard from one of our volunteers within 5 days of submitting your application, please email mollibo@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Bandit, a young adult neutered male Aussie mix! He is about 3 yrs old and weighs 50 lbs. Bandit will be arriving in CT on 8/22 and we are accepting applications for him now! Bandit is house and crate trained. He is good with dogs, kids and men. Bandit has not been cat tested. Bandit is medically up to date and neutered. Apply to meet this special pup 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! ##2814698##
