Looking for a helping hand! Sweet and shy Elsa is officially ready to go and looking for someone with a little patience. She's a 3 year old chihuahua mix that came to PAWS from a hoarding situation. She has made lots of progress, but will need someone who's willing to give her some extra time and attention. Elsa needs to go to a home with another small dog who can help her with her social skills and relationships with people. She really blossoms around another dog and her playful, goofball, gentle nature comes shining through!!! Please like and share Elsa to help her find her perfect partner♥ To adopt, visit www.pawsct.org. #dogsofpawsct #rescuedog #savealife #adoptdontshop #rescue #paws #norwalk #ct #nonprofit #donate #makeadifference #thankyou

There are some of us who actually enjoyed the weather today! Our girl Winter is a Connecticut native at heart and certainly wasn't put off by a little Nor'easter. She enjoyed play time in the snow this afternoon with a friend. Thanks again to all of the wonderful PAWS' staff and volunteers who braved the elements today to make sure that all of our animals were well cared for! Hoping everyone stays safe and warm during the storm! #dogsofpawsct #winter #rescue #adoptdontshop #adoption #savealife #paws #norwalk #ct #nonprofit #donate #thankyou

Emilia definitely has something to smile about! She's almost ready for adoption! Emilia is a sweet and silly 2 year old pit bull terrier mix. She can be slightly tentative at first, but giving her a minute to warm is well worth the wait! She gives the world's best hugs. Emilia enjoys the company of other dogs of all shapes and sizes. She would benefit from a confident canine companion and playmate. Emilia walks well on leash, is polite and attentive and is willing to learn some new tricks. Help give Emilia something to really smile about by liking and sharing ❤️ To file an application toadopt, visit www.pawsct.org. #dogsofpawsct #rescue #adoption #adoptsontshop #savealife #paws #norwalk #ct #nonprofit #donate #thankyou
