Story
Meet Dorris, a super sweet 6-8 year old spayed female beagle mix! Dorris was picked up as a stray by animal control in east TN when she was very heavily pregnant - poor Dorris looked like she was about to pop!
Paws Rescue League took her into rescue and placed her into a loving foster home, where she went into labor and began giving birth during the evening hours of 9/29. Dorris was able to deliver the first 3 babies on her own, but baby #4 got stuck, so her experienced foster mom loaded her up to the vet for a C section. The vet was able to pull out baby #4, however it was stillborn The final 3 babies were delivered via C section (mama was also spayed following the C section). One other baby did not make it, but the surviving 5 pups (the "Little Piggy" litter ) have grown into chubby, healthy puppies who have all been adopted! Now Mama Dorris is ready to retire from motherhood and live out the rest of her days being spoiled like she deserves!
Dorris is good with other dogs, cats, people, and kids. She is an easy, low maintenance dog who would do well in most homes.
From Dorris's current foster:
"Dorris is the sweetest! Her favorite activity is sleeping but when we go on walks she gets a boost of energy. She loves sniffing, her nose is always to the ground. When she sniffs a squirrel out she’ll chase after them. Fortunately, she hasn’t expressed any interest in chasing after my cat so I’d say she’s good with dog savvy cats. The few times my cat has approached Dorris she doesn’t do much. She also loves eating (who doesn't!) and cuddling. She does very good on her own whenever I need to leave the house for work or errands, settles right into her crate until I come back. Overall she’s a cutie!!"
She is medically up to date, crate trained, and housebroken. Apply to meet this sweet, loving girl today!
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!
