Story
APPLY FOR TROOPER Hey everyone! I’m Trooper, a playful 1-year-old Australian Shepherd. I weigh about 30 lbs and I’m all set with being neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.   I had quite the experience recently—I was in a car accident (but don’t worry, I wasn’t hurt at all!). My amazing foster dad, who happens to be a state trooper, found me just hanging out in the front seat, completely safe. Sadly, after waiting to be claimed, no one came for me, so now I’m on the lookout for a new family who will love and cherish me!   I’m a clever boy! I know how to take treats super gently and I’ve mastered "sit." If you spend some quality time teaching me, I’m sure I’ll learn a ton of fun tricks in no time!   I’m not overly hyper, but I do enjoy going on adventures and keeping my brain engaged. I'm friendly with both dogs and kids, and while I haven’t met any cats yet, I bet with the right introductions, we could get along just fine! Can’t wait to meet my new family!     ADOPTION FEE: $563  ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES:  Alteration, Microchip, Vaccines APPLICATION: Click here to apply IF YOU HAVE OWNED A PET IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, PLEASE CALL YOUR VET AHEAD OF TIME TO ALLOW RESCUES TO SPEAK TO THEM ##2632172##

Story
It’s obvious that Chet has STAR quality! Not only is he the most handsome guy around, but he is also a very affectionate dog and he is very smart. He went to puppy school as a youngster and learned his basic commands. He being on the receiving end of his human’s attention, snuggling with them on the couch, sleeping in the bed with them and he always gives kisses freely. He’s a lot of fun too… loves to play with toys, and if you’ll throw them, he will catch and retrieve balls and frisbees. Chet is a fairly quiet and a little shy and he want’s all of his human’s attention for himself. That being said, he needs to be the only dog in the home. He gets along with other dogs as long as they are laid back/submissive, but prefers not to live with them. He hasn’t been around little kids, but would be fine around older kids that would respect him and treat him with kindness. Chet will make a wonderful companion for some lucky family! He is three years old (dob 11/9/21) and weighs 40-45 pounds, has been neutered, micro-chipped, 4DX heartworm tested, fecal tested, is current on all vaccinations, worming, heartworm and flea prevention. His adoption fee is $400. Chet is being fostered in Tennessee. Once adopted he will be transported to his pickup location by a professional dog transport company. Our rescue ships to the Northeast area every week and his fee includes transportation. Due to state laws, we cannot accept applications from residents of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Maine since we can’t adopt directly to those states.

Story
This absolutely adorable, fluffy, loving, cuddly little baby boy is Downey! Thus snugglebug came into rescue as a baby and has been raised in a home with endless love and socialization, and can’t wait to find love! He is 14 weeks old and this boy is thriving! He currently weighs 8 lbs and has the fluffiest coat and and gorgeous slate blue coloring and beautiful eyes! We can’t know for sure his adult size of course, but it will likely fall into the window of 18-28 lbs, a perfectly petite size that’s still able to be big enough for play and any activity you’d like to do! He’s had all of his medical work completed including vaccines, deworming, microchipping, he’s current on preventative and he’s now neutered! He’s a fabulous little man who’s healthy and thriving and ready to find his forever home! Downey is doing great in foster care! He’s been socialized from the beginning with other dogs, cats, and children! He’s a happy, well rounded pup and would love to go to a home where he will have a doggy sibling! That said, having another pup in the home isn’t a requirement, as long as he can have some dog friends in his life! He loves to be held and carried around, go outside and romp around, and he is a master snuggler. He also loves to curl up on the sofa cuddling with his people. He’s doing great learning house training and is such a cheerful, fluffy little bundle of love! If this amazing baby boy is just who you have been waiting for, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!!

Dolce is a very smart dog who requires ways to get his energy out. We have a yellow lab and two children of teenage years. He can be somewhat temperamental and controlling at times though and we don’t feel like the kind of owners who can figure him out.

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##
