**** Breed Experience or similar breed experience will only be considered***Name: HannahBreed: Dutch Shepherd MixAge: Under 2 years oldKids: 12+ Cats: NoDogs: NoHold onto your hearts, Hannah is hard not to fall in love with!! This beautiful girl came to MHS as a transfer from a local animal control partner. Hannah is estimated to be a little over a year old and has an equal amount of boundless energy as she has love to give!Hannah will require a home with Shepherd/Belgian Malinois, or similar breed experience. Hannah is extremely smart and loyal to her people, this girl knows all the basic commands, and then some! Hannah has a ton of energy so will require an active home that will give her a job to do to prevent boredom, and a home preferably with a fenced in yard so she can get all her energy out.Hannah does have a tendency to jump very high when she's excited and wants to say hello, so we are seeking a home with older, breed savvy children. Hannah would prefer a home without any other animals.Hannah is microchipped, UTD on her vaccinations, and is spayed.If you think you can give Hannah her forever home, please fill out an adoption application today!!!https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=meridenhumanesociety&method=online_form_html&formid=27

Story
My name is Lil Man aka Deuce. Deuce for two since I'm getting a second chance at life after being in the shelter. My foster Dad says I'm living life to the fullest and trying really hard at forgetting my first life. I'm still shy around some people but my foster has been teaching me to be less fearful of strangers. I would love you to help me with slow introductions when I meet new people. People always say how beautiful my brindle coat is. I'm very smart and will sit and speak for my treats, I am learning to play ball and will jump in the air to get it! I'm still working on the bring it back all the time, every time. But I'm working on it! I get along well with other dogs and I'm a great watch dog. I like to make sure my people are safe and taken care of. I love being outside in the sun and playing with my dog foster siblings or other dogs. I love the yard and think being outside is swell. When I come inside I'm a very good boy and don't get on the couch or jump on people. I do like to give little licks and kisses to the people I feel safe with. I have a zest for life and like to go for walks and runs and to play in the river. I'm potty trained and stay out during the day in the sunshine. I always try to ensure the squirrels know I'm the bosss. At night I like to sleep inside with my pals. Whoever adopts me will have to be a little patient and continue working with me on my shyness at times. New things are scary and I need you to show me it's going to be ok. My perfect home would have a nice, fenced yard, and maybe a doggy door so I can go in and out on my own. I'll probably do better with another dog in the household, I really like friends. I would love someone to play fetch with me or take me to the river and swim. I don't mind baths at all either, but I sure don't like cats! I like to keep my food just for me and don't really like to share. I know basic commands and will sit for a treat, or two. I would love to meet you and your resident dog and make some new friends!

Story
Good boy Larry is about a year old and of love and joy. This energetic fellow will do best in an active home where he can get lots of walkies, hiking, maybe a jog here and there. If your New Year's Resolution is to get in better shape / lose weight, this boy will be 100% dedicated to keeping you on track!! We haven't tested him cats, but we think he'll probably be best in a cat free home. Most likely, the felines of the world will appreciate our caution. Larry is good with kiddos and all ages of nice humans that he meets. He might be a little overwhelming for a home with very new humans, but he'll be perfect for a home with older kiddos who will help in keeping him busy. He would LOVE to have a home where he can chase ball, catch frisbee, take a swim in the summer.....all the fun things that all the fun dogs and humans enjoy! If you're ready to get in shape and exercise your worries and weight away, hop on over to www.cprdogs.com for our online application. Larry is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. All dogs 6 month + receive a Proheart 6 injection at the time of their heartworm test. This provides heartworm prevention for 6 months from the time of that injection. This dog has tested positive for heartworms, but has been fully treated. The adoption fee is $450 if your adoption is prepaid and final prior to your dog's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on dogs that are picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, 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! If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at our 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 a confirmation.

Story
April is an energetic, focused, and loyal dog who loves to play frisbee and tug. She is good on the leash, but likes to take the lead. She likes to play in the yard, but has a tendency to police other dogs outside as well, so she does best playing outside with you alone. She is great with cats! She is a velcro dog and will follow you around the house and outside and likes to be involved. She is an observer and spends a lot of time watching those around her (people and dogs). May is more reserved but loves affection and is also very loyal to her owner(s). She will follow you around and watch what you're doing all the time. She is great on the leash. She is also a great running partner. She is great outside and goes crazy for the ball - she has a tendency to chomp, so we play carefully. Play motivated for sure. Mostly ok with the cats, though she will occasionally pounce to play. She is timid in public and does not really enjoy the company of dogs other than her sister.

Story
Natasha is a beauty who was abandoned. When we found her, she was suffering from Demodex mange due to the stressful living situations at the pound. CPR has taken her in, given her medications, medicated baths, nutritious foods, and showed her plenty of love and attention which has gotten her to where she is today. You would never know that she had suffered any hair loss! What a stunning girl she is!!! She is doing so well in her foster home getting along with all the other dogs/fosters. She loves to follow around her foster mom's dog and learn how to be a house dog like she is supposed to be. She has learned to use a doggie door and is learning her house manners. Working on potty-training. She is crate-trained. Natasha is very loving and seeks to please. She would make a great addition to any sized family. She is working on leash walking and is doing a great job! If you are interested in adopting this great girl, go ahead and apply for her today. 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. Visit our website to see our weekend Events here! Pups with the designated “meet me” next to their names are in CT and ready to attend adoption events. Please check with your adoption coordinator if you are interested in a specific dog prior to coming to an event, as a dog's availability to attend can change at any time. We can not guarantee approval on site at the events, so we recommend applying ahead of time. You can apply at the event, but the application process may not be able to be completed the same day. If you are not pre-approved, you are still welcome to come and meet pup’s at the event! The adoption fee is $600 which includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, and the mandatory CT HB 5368 fee. 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.

Story
Hello! My name is Murphy, or Murph for short. Here are some reasons why I am the best boy and would be a great addition to your home: 1. I LOVE to snuggle. I try to be as close to everyone as possible at all times 2. I am cat tested. The cat in my foster home likes to chase and surprise me- I am curious about the cat and respond well when tempted. I even try to play 3. I am potty trained- not one single accident! 4. I am crate trained however; I’d much prefer to sleep where everyone else is. My foster mom says I’m too big for the bed. I know how to escape wire crates using my nose (I’m smart, not destructive) so I require a crate that is secured or enclosed 5. I play SO well with my foster friends. I live with 5 friends currently and get along well with everyone 6. I do best with a buddy. I am scared when left all alone and vocalize that to my foster mom. I prefer to be able to see or hear where my friends or humans are 7. I am not shy to food. I am working on gaining some muscle mass after my shelter stay. My foster mom says I am filling out to be a healthy and strong boy! 8. I LOVE toys. I am a strong chewer so I require toys that can withstand my power March 10, 2025, 4:47 pm

Story
Meet the Thanksgiving litter: Sage, Macy, Pippin, Pepper, Crispin, Ember, Oakley, Rowan, Roux, and Maple! These 10 puppies were born to mama Grace (shepherd mix who was picked up as a stray in east TN when she was heavily pregnant) on 10/25/24. They are expected to grow to medium sized dogs. Mama Grace and all of the other puppies in this litter have been adopted except for Macy. She doesn't understand why no one has picked her her yet   Macy is a super cute 4 month old female puppy! Her brother Oakley was DNA tested, and he came back 51% Mountain Cur/49% German Shepherd (see photo below). She is a typical happy, playful pup who loves everyone. Good with dogs, cats, people, and kids. Young puppies are like blank slates who, with proper training and socialization, will grow into wonderful dogs. Macy is medically up to date (age appropriate), crate trained, and working on housebreaking. Apply to meet this sweet 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! ##2254363##
