Anna is one of 3 of the Dacshund/Chihuahua puppies that were surrendered to the rescue as an accidental litter. One parent was a Dachsund, the other a Chihuahua.  Anna has a brown/merle or dapple coat, she weighs between 4-5lbs currently, she is about 3 months old. She is your typical playful, curious puppy who would love a family of her own. She is crate trained, working on housebreaking. She is good with everyone, dogs, cats, children and people. We believe she will be a small to medium dog full grown (under 30lbs). Anna would love to find a home who will socialize her, train her and teach her all about the world. She is up to date on all her puppy vaccines, rabies vaccines, and is on monhtly flea tick, and heartworm prevention.  show less

We saved Arlo from a kill shelter, he was picked up as a stray and brought to Animal Control, he was given 3 days for his current owner to claim him (if he had an owner), or find a new adopter, or be saved by a rescue. Paws Rescue League works hard to save many dogs facing this situtation. Healthy, young good dogs are euthanized for space, as Animal Control needs to respond to calls about strays, so if they are full of dogs that no one claims, or adopts they would be unable to pick up any other dogs. We as well as the local Humane Society, and a few other rescues, work tirelessly to save these innocent dogs lives, who want nothing more than to be loved. Arlo is a bright light of happiness and joy! Even when in the scary shelter where he was unsure where he was or what would happen, he was trusting of everyon, and was as wiggly as a worm, and a hige smile on his face. He was just beaming with positivity. To think this beuatiful light could be extinguished soley because he was taken up a kennel is awful.   Arlo was temperament tested, and taken out of the shelter and placed in a TN foster home, where he got lots of love, and affection, and went to the vet for a physical exam, and HWT, neutered and vaccinated. Arlo will be making his way to New England next week ( 07/30/2022), and he is very excited to know whos waiting to meet him! When you see this boy, you cant help but to smile.   Arlo is a 10-12 month old, male,  White swiss shepard/husky mix, who weighs about 40lbs. When he was picked up by Animal Control is was clear he was very under weight and malnourished. His ideal weight should be about 55 -60lbs. He is crate trained, he has picken up on house breaking pretty well, our guess is he spent much of his short life on his own, outside, and eager to meet and interact with people. Arlo is good with other dogs, he has not been cat tested yet, he is good with children, we suggest older children as he is still learning all "indoor manners", and how to be the best FURbaby! show less

Buddy, got her name when PRL saved her from the local kill shelter, where they had listed her as a male. We found out when we got her to the vet, Buddy was a she. All of her paperwork had already had the name Buddy, so we decided to keep her name as is.  Buddy came from a cruelty case, she was in a home, where the family was not taking care of their animals, and had too many animals, and they were all being neglected.  Buddy was very shy and timid when she first came to PRL, but after a few days, when she realized she was safe, and in a good place, she opened right up! Probably the first time she got to run around freely with other dogs, and just get to be a dog! Her smile and happiness was infectious! Just one look at her now, brings a smile to all of our faces. Buddy is a sweet little girl, with a gorgeous wavy/curly coat of fur, that she gets from the yorkie-poo in her. She has the build of a dacshund with her long body, short legs and narrow face, and big rounded ears. She is absolutely adorable. She came to us quite matted, and needed a groom, where we tried to keep as much hair on her as possible, but she ended up needing a lot more off at the time, so she got a cute lion hair cut! Buddy is crate trained, and has been working on being fully housebroken, she is also working on learning her basic commands. She is a sweetie, who loves all the other dogs, good with people and children, but she is shy and timid at first, she needs a minute until she realizes you are safe, and a good person. We suggest children a little older, 8 years and up, who can understand to give a dog space when needed. She would fit in with many families, but we think the best home for her would be one with another dog, and older kids or no kids, and medium active family ( one who will go for walks, or small adventures to the beach, and dog park).  show less

Gifford is a 2 year old male German Short Haired Pointer who found himself at animal control, facing possible euthanasia. The community we save dogs from, do not have laws to protect dogs. The state of TN allows stray dogs 3 days, for their owners to pick them up, or to find an adopter or a rescue. We took Gifford in, and placed him in a TN foster home, had him fully vetted. Gifford is currently in TN in a board and train. Unfortunately for Gifford he never had owners who trained him, or worked with him. He is a very sweet boy, and wants to please his people, so he is learning to be the best boy he can be. He will be headed to New England after his board and train.  Gifford is housebroken, crate trained, and he is wonderful with other dogs, not cat tested yet, he is good with children but we suggest older children due to his size. He is about 50lbs.  Prior breed experience is prefered, or experience with working dog breeds. A fenced in yard is required for him. show less

Her gorgeous white coat is thanks to the great pyrenese in her. She is a gentle giant who is always smiling, which is thanks to the golden in her. She is hoping for a family of her own in New England!  Pidge past is assumed to be what many Great Pyrs in TN experience. A family most likely purchased her, intending for her to live in a yard and guard their livestock. When she didnt prove to be a good livestock guardian she was probably dumped, no longer wanted. Pidge, most likley lost her home, and found her self at animal control facing euthanasia due to no fault of her own. Pidge just wants to be a dog, and be around her people. That is what makes Pidge happiest! She is good with other dogs, and with people and kids, we suggest kids 8 years and up due to her size, of about 55lbs. She could unintentionally knock a small child over. She has not been cat tested, we are unsure how she would do with cats. Pidge is crate trained and housebroken.    Once you meet Pidge and spend a little bit of time with her, she is the sweetest big baby who just wants to be loved, and to have a family she can love. show less

Woodstock, Linus and Lucy came to us from a dire situation. They were in an outdoor pen with their mother and 4 other puppies, 3 of the puppies had passed away due to lack of food and water, died of starvation. The puppies were trying to nurse from mom, whos milk had dried up due to her starving as well.  We were told by the family, that they will be sold or used to breed, and will sell the offspring, like what their intention was to do with Woodstock, Linus, Lucy ( and the 3 who died). Woodstock is a 4 month old Boxer mix, who spent the first 9 weeks of his life in a cage outdoors with his mom and siblings, as his siblings and him slowly starved.  Woodstock, Linus and Lucy are the lucky ones, who have been rescued, and we will work tirelessly to find them furever loving homes, where they will never have to worry about not being fed again. They will be loved, and cared for.  (Linus and Lucy have both been adopted!). Woodstock and his siblings are sweet, loving young puppies, who finally being out of that cage have so much to experience in the big world. show less
