THE POWER OF LOVE! Sabrina is a petite 5 year old pit bull terrier mix who was originally picked up by a local animal control facility. Initially she was emaciated, flea-infested, most of her fur was missing and she needed serious medical attention. Thankfully, Sabrina was able to receive the care she deserved. Her fleas were taken care and she was able to put some weight on her bones. We are so grateful that they intervened with this little lady, as we feel very lucky to meet such a powerful example of optimism and tenacity! PAWS has now stepped in to help this special girl find a home. Since she has been at PAWS, we have also discovered that Sabrina is either deaf or severely hearing impaired. Despite everything that this little girl has been through, she's a complete love. She is bright, curious and enthusiastic! She loves making new friends and seems to like the company of other dogs. She knows some basic commands and learns quickly. Sabrina continues to make progress with her appearance, but her heart has certainly been there all along. We'd like to take this opportunity to also thank all of our wonderful volunteers for the love and devotion they show to each and every animal that walks through PAWS' doors. We know the power of their love is incredibly healing!

Good boy! Welcome Travis! Travis is a 4 year old shih tzu who's looking for a permanent companion. He's a sweet and gentle guy who has some basic manners and is willing to learn some new tricks. Travis enjoys play time with other dogs and would be willing to share a home with a canine companion. Travis is up for a ride around town or a walk in the park, but is also content to just hang out and keep you company. He's not quite available for adoption, but we're accepting applications for him. Please like and share to help Travis find his best buddy 💙 #dogsofpawsct #dogsofinstagram #rescue #adoptdontshop #savealife #paws #norwalk #ct #nonprofit

TODAY WAS A BIG DAY!!! In two days Sedona was about to observe a very sad occasion: her 3rd anniversary at the PAWS' shelter. Instead, today was an occasion for celebration, because this girl was ADOPTED! We had lots of supporters and admirers come to see her off and wish her well in her new life. Sedona went home with an awesome family who are sure to treat her like a princess! She's going to have lots of outdoor time, ball play and plenty of love from her new family. We are grateful for families like this who are willing to give dogs like Sedona their chance at a new beginning. We are also very grateful to those who opened their hearts and homes to Sedona and let us see how she would behave in a home environment. This was enormously helpful and obviously had an incredible payout. Happy life, Sedona! We really couldn't be happier for you! #dogsofpawsct #AdoptAShelterDogMonth #sedona #rescue #savealife #adoptdontshop #paws #nonprofit #norwalk #ct

ADOPTED! Luke went home after making friends with his new canine brother. He's going to enjoy lots of playtime, class time and long hikes with his new Mom and Dad. They are clearly enjoying each other's company already. We wish all the best to Luke and family! 💙 #dogsofpawsct #rescuedog #savealife #adoptdontshop #AdoptAShelterDogMonth #paws #norwalk #ct #nonprofit
