**OCTOBER SPECIAL** This dog is eligible for $100 off the listed adoption fee, valid through the end of October! Offer applies to select dogs only, and adoption must be finalized by 10/31/2025 to take advantage of this offer. "Quoth the pup, 'Evermore... playtime, please!'" I'm Poe, a ~14 week old spayed female Aussie mix puppy with a heart full of joy. As part of the Poet Litter, you'd think I'd be raven-obsessed with dark and mysterious verse, but honestly, my poetry is more like "Woof woof, squeaky toys are my heart's desire!" I love everyone I meet, human and furry friend alike, and I'm always up for a good cuddle or play session. But let's be real, I'm still a puppy. I need some guidance and training to become the best version of myself. I'm eager to learn and please, so if you're willing to invest some time in teaching me good manners, I'll be your best student! I'm medically up-to-date (age appropriate) and working on crate training. Potty training is my current 'dark and stormy night' - I'm working on it, but sometimes the accidents are 'dying' to get out! Let's trade in my squeaky toys for a pen and paper, and see what kind of masterpieces we can create together! (just kidding, don't take away the squeaky toys!). 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.

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.

My name is Spencer, and my story isn't an easy one. I came from a place where love was scarce, and hope was hard to find. But despite everything I've been through, I've held onto one thing, the desire to be loved. I'm a 5 year old neutered male mixed breed, weighing 24lbs. I'm still learning to trust the world around me. It takes me time to feel safe, and I need patient humans who understand that I'm not like the others. I'm nervous and shy, but once I know you're kind and gentle, I'll let my guard down and show you my heart. I'm good with other dogs, but I need time to unwind and relax around them, just like humans do. I'd thrive in a home with older kids who understand my skittish nature and won't push me beyond what I can handle. As for cats....well, I'm still figuriing those out. I'm medically up to date, and house broken. One thing that's really important to know about me is that crates make me extremely nervous. I'm so scared that I might hurt myself trying to get out, so I'd need a home where I can have freedom and space to move around safely. All I want is to be loved and cherished for who I am. I know I might take a little time to warm up, but I promise I'll reward you with loyalty, snuggles, and a love that's pure and true.  Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable.

Meet Nene, a charming and affectionate neutered male mini poodle/shih tzu mix weighing about 20 lbs! This sweet guy is a young 7ish years old and has lots of love to give! He makes himself at home very quickly, is food motivated, and enjoys pats.  Nene is looking for a forever home where he can love and be loved. He is good with people, shy for about 10-15 minutes and then warms up and wants to be your BFF. He is a super snuggle bug and LOVES to cuddle with his people! 🥰 He is a lower energy dog who would be content to spend most of his day curled up on the couch next to you, or under your desk while you work. He's pretty low maintenance and easy going, it really does not take much to make this guy happy!  Nene is good with other dogs after a proper introduction. He will bark at new dogs at first (not aggressive), he just needs a little time to get to know them. He may take a couple days to warm up to other dogs in the household, but after he adjusts he does well with them. He has not been cat tested, but we expect he would likely be fine with dog savvy cats (may bark at them at first like he does with new dogs). He has not been around young kids, but he does well with older kids who know to respect a dog's space.  Nene is medically up to date and housebroken.

Meet Cypress, a sweet ~4 year old spayed female Yorkie/small terrier mix, weighing about 14 lbs!  Cypress was rescued from a hoarding situation in east TN along with the other Tree pups (Sycamore, Pine, Spruce, etc.). She is shy and timid at first, and she needs a little time to warm up to new people. If you are gentle and patient with her, she will warm up and be your buddy in no time! Once she knows you are safe, she will follow you around and loves to be by your side. Cypress is good with other dogs, not cat tested but we feel she would likely be fine with cats. Due to her small size and timid nature, we recommend older kids 8+ who know to respect a dog's space.

Hi, I'm Magnolia! I'm ~5 year year old neutered male doxie/spaniel mix, weighing about 20lbs. Sure, I'm 5, but let's be real, age is just a number, am I right?! My past was a garden of thorns. I was rescued from an overcrowded and overwhelming situation (the humans call it a "hoarding" situation), where love and attention were scarce. But despite the challenges, my spirit has remained unbroken, and I'm now ready to unfurl my petals and find my forever home. All I ask is for a little patience and understanding, as I am still learning how to be a dog, and the world can be a scary place for me. But it is getting less scary every day! I am shy and skittish at first, and I take some time to trust new people and feel safe. If you nurture me with patience and kindness, and let me come to you on my own terms, you'll see that behind my scared exterior is a sweet and gentle soul, who wants so badly to love and be loved. Once I know that you are trustworthy and safe, I will be your faithful companion! I adore other dogs, as they've shown me that friendship and fun can go paw-in-paw. Because of my timid nature, I would feel most comfortable in a home with no kids, or older kids 8+ who know to respect a dog's space. One thing that would make my tail wag with joy: a fenced in yard where I can play, sniff, and feel safe without worrying about getting loose (I'm still learning about leashes). I am medically up-to-date, crate trained, and mostly housebroken (expect some accidents as I get used to a new routine/environment). Will you be my sunshine and help me grow into the best version of myself?

Hi, I'm Pine, a ~3 year old spayed female doxie/spaniel mix, weighing about 20lbs! My past wasn't easy, as I was rescued from a crowded and overwhelming environment (the humans call it a "hoarding" situation), where I didn't get the chance to be the beloved pet I was meant to be. But I'm ready to leave that behind and start fresh! I'm a little nervous, and I am shy and skittish when you first meet me. I need time to feel safe, and I hope you can be patient and gentle with me, and let me come to you on my own terms once I'm ready. I haven't had the best experiences with humans in the past, so I am still learning to trust. I want to let my guard down and show you my true, sweet self, but I need to know you're safe first. Deep down, I really just want to love and be loved. I like dogs, they help me to feel safe and more confident. Little kids are scary to me, but I don't mind older kids 8+ who know how to respect a dog's space. I think I would like cats, but maybe a slow introduction would be best for both of us. I wouldn't want to scare my potential feline sister/brother. One thing I'm really looking forward to is having a cozy, fenced-in yard to call my own, somewhere I can sniff, explore, and feel secure without worrying about getting loose (I'm still learning about leashes, as I was never leash trained in my prior life). A quiet backyard would be doggone perfect for me!  I am medically up-to-date, crate trained, and mostly housebroken (expect some accidents while I adjust to a new routine/environment).

Warning: cute overload ahead! 😍  I'm Spice, a ~6 month old spayed female Maltese/Chihuahua mix! I'm tiny, just 9lbs, but I'm full of big personality and an even bigger heart. I'm the perfect addition to any family recipe, I add a little flavor and a whole lot of love! 💗  The best part? I've got the best mom in the whole world, Sugar! She's taught me everything I know about being smart and loving. I'm good with dogs, kids, and probably even cats! I'm still a puppy though, so I will require a little patience and training to set me up for success.  I'm medically up to date, crate trained, and I've worked really hard on house training. I love playtime, snuggles, and treats (who deosn't??). I'm a social butterfly who just wants to be around my pack and shower them with love and kisses, will you be that lucky human?  **Spice will be available at our adoption event on October 5, 2025 at Petco in Dayville, CT. Please note: only pre-approved adopters are able to adopt directly from events.** Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable.

Hi, I'm Toby Bear! I'm a gentle soul, a 3 year old mixed breed who's still finding my footing in the world. My past hasn't been easy. I came from a place where there were too many of us, and not enough love to go around. It takes me a little time to warm up to new people and places, but with patience, love, and understanding, I'm learning to trust and feel safe.  I crave love, kindness, and companionship. I'm good with other dogs, and I love having friends to hang out with, as long as we take things slow. I'd do best in a home with older kids who understand my shy side.  I'm medically up to date, and neutered. If you're willing to offer me patience, love, and a second chance, I'll reward you with loyalty, snuggles, and a heart full of gratitude. I know what it means to be overlooked, but I'm ready to be seen, loved, and cherished. Will you be my forever home?  Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable.

Hi, I'm Willow! I'm a ~1 year old spayed female poodle/doodle sweetheart who loves two things in life: snuggling and playtime! There's nothing better than curling up in someone's lap and gazing up at them with adoring eyes. Don't worry, I'm still lapdog size at 50 lbs, at least I think so. I also love to run around and play with my furry friends. I am happiest around other dogs and am hoping that my furever home will include a doggo sibling(s) to play with! I'm a social butterfly (or should I say, social pup?) and thrive on companionship. When I'm with other dogs, I'm in my element, and I even learn from them. Some of my best friends right now are Staffies, I just can't get enough of those adorable faces! As for cats....well, I'm not really sure about those guys. I've never really met one, so I'd need a slow introduction and some patience from my new family. My TN foster says I'm halfway housebroken, and I'm getting there. I love using my pee pads, but I'm still learning to go outside exclusively. I'm super smart and treat motivated, so I'm sure I'll get the hang of it with some consistency and tasty rewards. Don't worry if I bark a little, it's just my way of saying, "Let's play!" or "Hey, I'm excited!" When I'm around my pack, I'm quiet and good as gold. I'm medically up to date, which I think means the vet poked me enough times and gave me some yummy treats afterward. I'm not really sure what it means, but if it makes my humans happy, I'm good! I'm crate trained and do well in my crate when I'm not with my favorite humans or furry friends. I even snuggle up and sleep soundly on my favorite human's bed. I am excited to start a new adventure, and I'm excited to meet my forever family!  **Willow will be available at our adoption event on October 5, 2025 at Petco in Dayville, CT. Please note: only pre-approved adopters are able to adopt directly from events.** Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable.

**SEPTEMBER SPECIAL** This cat is eligible for $100 off the listed adoption fee, valid through the end of September! Offer applies to select cats only, and adoption must be finalized by 9/30/2025 to take advantage of this offer. Although Paws Rescue League is primarily a dog rescue, from time to time we do take in cats! 🐱  Meet Tiggie, Grayson, and Smoke, adorable ~4 month old kittens! These babies were picked up as strays in east TN and were placed in a loving foster home with Tory (not related, but similar aged solo kitten). They are now in CT and are ready to find their furever homes!  Grayson is a spayed female gray and white cutie who is sure to bring endless love and cuddles to her furever home! She is medically up to date and has tested negative for FeLV/FIV. They are all very playful and sweet kittens, but Smoke and Tiggie are the most outgoing of this group. These cuties are being fostered with a dog and older cat and they get along well with everyone! Young kittens do best in pairs, and two kittens are actually LESS work than one, as they will entertain each other and are less likely to get into mischief! We will prioritize applicants who are looking to adopt 2 kittens, or who already have a young, friendly kitty at home.  Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable.
