Everybody was all smiles yesterday , because it was ADOPTION DAY for Travis! Travis came to PAWS from animal control and had obviously been somewhat neglected, but underneath the matting and dirt was one great little dog! Travis made many friends at PAWS, but none better than his new Mom and Dad. Travis went to a loving home where he will be the center of attention. He's going to enjoy lots of playtime, snuggles and social activities with his new canine cousins. We wish for all the best for Travis and his new family! #dogsofpawsct #AdoptAShelterDogMonth #rescue #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
