This beauty is looking for a couch to call her own. Omeka is a 6 month old pitbull terrier mix who's initially shy, but is learning how to make new friends. Once she warms, she's a real sweetie who likes to be close to her people. She enjoys playtime with other dogs and would benefit from a social and self-assured canine companion. Omeka would do best in an experienced home that is willing to work on her training and help her become more confident.

Look who was adopted today! Lily's not quite sure about standing up, but she is sure about one thing: she's headed home! 13 year old Lily is a beneficiary of PAWS' Senior Pension Plan. She came in with severe matting from lack of grooming, but went to a fantastic home where she will be doted upon. She will have 2 canine sisters whom she already adores. Happy life, Lily! #dogsofpawsct #norwalkct #adoptdontshop #rescue #rescuedog #rescuedogsofinstagram #savealife

Huge thank you to @susiesseniordogs for sharing our Holly ❤ #dogsofpawsct #adoptdontshop #rescuedog • • NORWALK, CT: 9 year old Holly was found running as a stray back in cold December. She was turned into animal control, but nobody ever came to claim her. Holly, a dainty 35 pound, 'Heinz 57' gal, is a perfect co-pilot companion who would love to finally find her happily-ever-after that she's waited so long for. PLEASE SHARE! Likely due to an unstable history, Holly can sometimes feel anxious. But she's been working hard with a trainer and learning that from here on out everything will be OK for her. Holly now just needs a loving, stable, and welcoming forever home to feel safe in always. @petanimalwelfaresociety wrote, "Holly is a 9 year old, 35 pound, 'Heinz 57' mix who is looking for her forever people. She's from the ACC, she was a stray. And she came to us Christmas Eve. She is a pretty, dainty girl who is still vibrant and active. Holly loves a good walk in the park or on the beach, but is just as content to find work keeping you company. She would be a great copilot for a car ride or your snuggle buddy for cozying up by the fire. She is intelligent, attentive and walks well on-leash. Holly's ideal home is one where she can be close to her people and be part of the day's activities. She would do best with someone who is home frequently as she has separation anxiety. She is working on crate training with the help of a trainer to help with the separation anxiety. And she is working on her attention skills, too. She would like to be an only dog, but may be willing to share a home with a smaller dog. Holly qualifies for PAWS' Senior Pension Plan, which means no adoption fee and some lifelong medical follow up!" To adopt Holly, please email the shelter's adoption coordinator, Lisa, at dogs@pawsct.org. @petanimalwelfaresociety is located at 504 Main Avenue, #Norwalk, #CT. ❤️ #seniordog #copilot #lookingforlove #adoptme #companion
