Story
This big thick mushy blue brindle hunk of love is Archer! This heartbreaker came into the pound after his owner went to jail. The owner ended up staying there and they released this guy for adoption in order to keep him from being put down due to pound crowding. Thankfully a wonderful foster home was happy to take this marshmallow of a guy in until his dream home is found! Archer is about 65 lbs or so, but may still gain a bit more as he came in a little too lean. He’s a big boned chonk of a baby who is 24 months old. He’s gone to the vets and had everything done including vaccines, deworming, microchipping, neuter, heartworm test, and he is current on preventative! Archer is such a great boy! He has medium activity level that perfectly reflects his humans. He’s ready to go for a hike or any adventure you’d like to bring him on, but he also would absolutely love to snuggle up under the covers and snooze with you on these cold winter days! He always has a smile and a wagging tail, and while he lived as an only dog and will do great as an only dog, he does greet every new dog he meets with a happy tail wag! He’s a social butterfly with people and has absolutely never met a stranger. He will go confidently into just about any setting, whether it’s a beach, a Home Depot, a brewery, anywhere, he’s the mayor and would love to meet and greet! He has great house manners and reliably goes potty outside. He’s a fan of exploring with his parent and being your best friend and copilot, but certainly loves his lazy days too. He would love a yard to play in and to lay out on warmer days and soak up the sun! He is an avid hugger, kisser and snuggler and is hoping to be your baby! He’s got the biggest mushiest face that he’s absolutely irresistible! If this adorable big sweetie is your dream pup, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!!

💓EXCITING NEWS💓 KING is in a foster home now and available for adoption! Stay tuned for more updates but if interested in giving King his forever home, don't wait - reach out today! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1306119583947246 🚨🚨🚨King has been added to the euthanasia list - time is running out. Please if you can help reach out today🚨🚨🚨 URGENT: King Needs a Miracle Meet King, a gentleman with a heart full of love and a soul longing for a second chance. At around 8 years old, King has known heartbreak - he and his housemate were found living out of a car, abandoned. Though they didn't have much, they had each other, which made the nights less lonely. His friend has been rescued by us (we didn't know about King until after we saved her) and now we hope to do the same for King. King has lost everything, the family that once cared for him (even if not enough - his ears tell a story of neglect and will need treatment), his friend, his car, all things safe to him, all gone. He sits in a kennel now, waiting for someone who may never come. Despite everything, King is sweet, and social, and passed all of his behavior evaluations with flying colors. He's gentle, and kind, still holds onto hope, and still believes in the goodness of people. But in a crowded shelter, where time is not a friend, King needs more than good behavior and hope - he needs a miracle. 💔He is at risk of euthanasia. 💔He has lost everything. 💔He is running out of time. King needs an adopter, a foster, a hero willing to step up before it's too late. Are you that person? If yes, reach out immediately! King will come fully vetted and we can assist Don't let King's story end here.

💓EXCITING UPDATE: BOP-IT IS IN FOSTER NOW AND AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION💓 FINAL PLEA FOR BOP-IT - HE WILL DIE ON WED 3/26 💔BOP-IT NEEDS A MIRACLE - HE WILL NOT BE GIVEN MORE TIME - LAST BREATH 3/26💔 https://youtu.be/TAfeFgv5H0w https://youtu.be/Ko3kSuWPbSE Bop-it is a 4-year-old sweetheart whose life now hangs in the balance. Found as a stray, he arrived at the shelter overwhelmed and unsure - understandably scared by the loud noises and constant commotion. But even in that unfamiliar, stressful environment, Bop-it has begun to show his true, beautiful spirit. He's steadily improved, making friends, learning to trust, and even starting to play. Give him a squeaky toy, and you'll see his whole body light up with joy - his tail wagging, his eyes sparking. Despite his fear, he still believes in happiness. What Bop-it needs now is a chance. A patient, loving home where he can decompress, feel safe, and finally exhale. With time, kindness, and understanding, he will blossom into the devoted companion we know he can be. Bop-it deserves more than a cage and a countdown. He deserves love, safety, and a future! Time is critical. Please share, foster, adopt, or connect us with someone who can. Bop-it's life depends on it. He will come fully vetted and we can assist with transport to CT/nearby areas,

Story
Meet Maui, a handsome 7 years young neutered male boxer/terrier mix, weighing about 65 lbs! Maui's story is a sad one. He was taken from a home in east TN due to neglect after it was discovered that the teenager in the home was killing small animals for fun Fortunately, he was taken into rescue and has been doing amazingly well in foster care! He is now ready to find his furever home, where he will be safe and loved for the rest of his days. Maui is a very sweet, friendly boy who is good with EVERYONE! He is a gentle giant who does great with other dogs, cats, people, and kids. He has a nub for a tail and he wiggles his WHOLE butt when he is happy, which is pretty much all the time!! He is medically up to date, housebroken, and crate trained. From Maui's current foster: "Maui is an AMAZING dog. Very polite, fully housebroken, a non-jumper, laid back but also loves to play. He will be a great loyal family dog." Apply to meet this special boy 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! ##2251459##
