Whenever You Need Me! Jay is a 4 year old Retriever mix looking for a friend through thick and thin. He can be a little timid at first, but he is very interested in new people and comes around quickly. Jay is a little love when he warms, and he enjoys being close to his people. He walks well on leash, knows some basic commands and enjoys the company of other dogs. He is an intelligent guy who likes to learn and aims to please. He likes to play tug, enjoys play time with friends and would be a great active time partner. He is a little overweight, but is working on shedding a few pounds. Jay had a somewhat limited world before PAWS and might benefit from the companionship of a social and confident canine buddy. Please like and share so that Jay can explore the world with a new best friend by his side! To adopt, visit www.pawsct.org or stop by the shelter daily 12-4. #WheneverYouNeedMe #IllBeThere #BestFriendForever #RetrieverMix #Handsome #DogsofPawsCt #AdoptdontShop #CompanionDog #ForeverHome

Dear Santa, I Can Explain! Rex definitely didn't want to miss out on the holiday fun. He's an adorable and entertaining one year old hound/bulldog mix who never passed on a good time. He is full of energy, eager for adventure and loves to keep busy. Rex enjoys the company of other dogs and would benefit from an energetic and enthusiastic canine playmate. Rex does enjoy mischief once in a while and would do well with a family willing to work on his training and manners. Rex has been with PAWS for a bit. He came from a difficult situation where he was kept somewhat isolated from normal activity and probably didn't get all of the appropriate puppy socialization. He can be uncertain with new people at times, but is so much fun and full of love when he warms. Rex would do well with an experienced adult home wiling to help build his confidence. He is smart, attentive and willing to learn. He would be a great partner for training class, weekend adventures and winter active time. PAWS will provide pre and post adoption training support. This boy is a volunteer favorite who is hoping for a home for the holidays. Please like and share to help Rex find his perfect fit. #DearSanta #HoundBulldogMix #Adorable #ReadyforAdventure #CaninePlaymate #HomefortheHolidays #DogsofPawsCT #FreshStart #ForeverHome

Starting Over! That can be a pretty scary prospect for a little guy in a big world. Olaf is an adorable 2 year old chihuahua mix who came to us from a local animal control where he was really struggling. He has definitely made progress at PAWS and made some close friends, but remains somewhat stressed at times and will need someone with a little understanding. Olaf will do well in an adult home experienced with chihuahuas or other small sensitive breeds. Olaf is a smart cookie who is willing to work for a treat or some of your praise. He's lively, playful and fun. He's got plenty of energy for active time and would be a great walking partner. Olaf really enjoys the company of other dogs and may do well with another social and confident pup to help show him the ropes. He will do well with a positive and confident leader to give him support and gradually expand his horizons. Please like and share Olaf to help him find the new beginning he is looking for. To adopt, visit www.pawsct.org or stop by the shelter daily 12-4. #StartingOver #Chimix #DogsofPawsCt #Friendship #NewBeginning #Olaf #Cutie #HomefortheHolidays

Where I Belong! Ivy is a shy 3 year old shih tzu mix that is looking for a place to call her own. She came to PAWS from a local animal control after being picked up as a stray. She can be quite timid with new people and will need someone with a little understanding. Ivy enjoys the company of other dogs and would do best in a home with another small, social dog to help build her confidence. Ivy enjoys daily walks, playtime with friends and chill time with you. She would be a great wintertime companion for snuggling by the fire, watching a movie or baking holiday treats. Ivy has chronic dry eye and will need someone willing to apply eye ointment daily. She is in need of some medical follow up, but will be available for adoption shortly. Ivy is simply going to blossom in a loving home. Please like and share to help Ivy find the place where she belongs♥ To adopt, visit www.pawsct.org or stop by the shelter daily 12-4. #WhereIBelong #ShiTzumix #Ivy #cutie #playtime #chilltime #dogsofpawsct #LovingHome #ForeverHome

Kiki Kicking It in his Holiday Gear! Kiki is a 5 year old medium poodle mix who came to PAWS as an owner surrender. He has a history of barking when left alone so would be best for a single family home. Kiki is an amiable boy who has lived with children before. He becomes very connected with his people and would make someone an excellent companion. Kiki has plenty of energy to make a great walking companion, play time partner and adventure buddy. He would be happy to accompany you to work, be a copilot for all your excursions or a side kick for a road trip. Kiki does not have experience with other dogs, but shows positive interest in smaller, calm dogs. He would also definitely be content as your one and only. Kiki would love to find a home again for the holidays. He will be available to be seen after seeing PAWS' vet. To apply, visit www.pawsct.org. Please like and share to help Kiki find his home for the holidays. #KikiKickingIt #HolidayGear #HomefortheHolidays #Poodlemix #DogsofPawsCt #CompanionDog #PlaytimePartner #AdventureBuddy

Couldn't be Clearer! Handsome puppy Tonto is looking for a place to call home! Tonto is a 10 month old Shepherd mix who is enthusiastic, friendly and energetic. He walks well on leash, but is big and would do best with a strong handler. Tonto can be mouthy at times and would benefit from someone willing to work on his training and manners. We think it's likely that he didn't get the guidance he needed as a younger pup. Due to the mouthiness, we think he would do best in an experienced adult home. PAWS can provide an adopter with some training support. Tonto would be a great partner for lots of active time. He would be a great hiking companion, running buddy or copilot for all kinds of adventures. He hasn't been paired yet with other pups, but shows positive interest. He may enjoy sharing a home with another energetic pup. Tonto is intelligent, attentive and knows some basic commands. He is willing to learn and would benefit from continuing his training. We think this boy is a diamond in the rough who's really going to blossom with the right person. He is social, outgoing and always ready to make a new friend. Please like and share Tonto to help him find his way home♥ To adopt, visit www.pawsct.org or stop by the shelter during open hours daily 12-4. #CouldntBeClearer #PuppyTonto #ShepherdMix #DogsofPawsCT #DiamondInTheRough #TrainingTime #Playtime #AdventureBuddy

She has plenty of energy for long walks, play time and a little adventure. Cranberry enjoys the company of other dogs and wouldn't mind sharing a home with another energetic pup. She is housetrained, attentive and walks well on leash. Cranberry was left in a crate in a local urban area. She's ready to be part of a loving family who dotes upon her. Cranberry would do best in a home with adults or older children. She will be available for adoption after her spay surgery, but can be met now.

She's the Sweetest Apple in the Orchard, yet she's still waiting! Apple is a 2 year old petite terrier mix who's been with PAWS for a bit. She came to PAWS in the later stages of pregnancy, had her pup and was a devoted mom. Now it's her turn, and she can't understand why she's not getting noticed. Apple loves everyone and really enjoys being close to her people. She's been to Stepping Stones Museum, plays hide and seek with her pup friends at PAWS, and we've even discovered she wouldn't mind a kitty friend! Apple is a wonderful cuddle buddy who loves sitting in your lap, giving kisses and companionship. She's also got plenty of pep in her step and would be happy to be a daily walking buddy. Apple is a great size for shopping trips, airline travel and weekend getaways. She would be a great companion for another pup or kitty. She's an intelligent girl who's full of fun and good humor. Apple is sure to keep you entertained. We can't understand why this cutie with tons of positive characteristics keeps getting overlooked. She can be a little animated on leash around other dogs, but PAWS can provide some training support. Sweet Apple is really deserving and ready to find the place where she belongs. Please like and share to help Apple find her happily-ever-after. To adopt, visit www.pawsct.org or stop by the shelter daily 12-4. #SweetestAppleIntheOrchard #AppleofYourEye #AdorableApple #terriermix #cutie #travelpartner #playpartner #foreverhome #dogsofpawsct
