Ready For His New Crush! Meet Shasta. Shasta is an adorable 3 year old small terrier mix. He is an energetic and happy guy who likes to keep busy. Shasta is friendly, but can be slightly uncertain at times. He was picked up as a stray in New York City, spent some time in their animal control facility and has recently come to PAWS. That's been a lot for a little guy in a big world, and we are sure it's been overwhelming. Shasta likes a good walk, some playtime and hanging with his buddies. He would be best for an experienced adult household willing to give him time to decompress and take it slow. Shasta enjoys a good head scratch, gentle petting and chilling with you. He is a smart boy who knows some basic commands and is definitely up for learning new tricks. He would benefit from class or training time and is also ready to be a great active time partner. He is fine with other dogs, but would also be okay as your one and only. Shasta has a small mass on his leg which needs to be removed, but currently has kennel cough. He is looking for a foster to adopt home while he awaits his surgery. If interested in Shasta, file your application at www.pawsct.org or stop by the shelter daily 12-4. Please like and share Shasta to help him find his new crush♥ #ReadyforHisNewCrush #Shasta #Terriermix #Cutie #HappyBoy #BusyBoy #DogsofPawsCt #ForeverHome #AdoptLocal #HelpaLocalAnimal #AdoptdontShop

Don't Worry, Be Happy! Rocky is an adorable 3.5 year old Yorkshire Terrier mix who is looking for a place where he can start setting his cares aside. He was owner surrendered to a local animal control, because he was not a good fit for his former family. Rocky is a rather timid boy who would prefer to live in an experienced adult household. He is somewhat anxious in the shelter, but does well with a slow and gentle approach. He knows some basic commands, walks well on leash and is eager to please. Rocky is really going to excel with a family willing to provide him the structure, training and guidance that he needs. He hasn't seen too much of the world and is looking forward to expanding his horizons with a family ready to take it at the right pace. He doesn't know much about other pups, but shows positive interest and is willing to learn. He will make someone a great companion for daily walks, a ride around town or a nice evening snuggle. Rocky is microchipped and vaccinated. He's just awaiting his neuter surgery and is eligible for foster to adopt. We are accepting applications for him now. Please like and share to help Rocky find his happy place. To adopt, visit www.pawsct.org or stop by the shelter daily 12-4. #DontWorryBeHappy #Yorkiemix #Rocky #Adorable #ReadytoShine #TrainingTime #DogsofPawsCt #AdoptaLocalDog #Adoptdontshop

Sweet Dreams Are Made of This! Petite and adorable Chimmy is a 3 year old long haired chihuahua who came to PAWS as an owner surrender. He is looking for permanency, a little confidence building and a lot of love. Chimmy had a rather limited environment before PAWS and hasn't seen much of the world. He is somewhat uncertain at PAWS, but wants to make new friends. Chimmy would really benefit from an adult household experienced with chihuahuas or other small sensitive breeds. He hasn't had much exposure to other dogs, but may be willing to share a home with another small calm dog or a kitty friend. Chimmy would love to be toted along for a local shopping trip, go for a walk in the park, or enjoy a neighborhood stroll. He would benefit from continuing his training and learning new things at a comfortable pace. He loves gentle petting, a little lap time and a good cuddle. Chimmy is really going to shine with someone with just a little patience and a whole lot of love. Please like and share to help Chimmy's dreams come true!

Ready for a real Touchdown! Meet Payton and Eli! They are 3 year old chihuahua/poodle mix brothers that recently came to PAWS as an owner surrender. They are hoping to find a home together. Eli is in the photo to the right. He is slightly larger, social and easygoing. Payton, the smaller of the two is the boss of the pair. He is friendly, but can be a little more timid at times. For that reason, we think they would do better in a home with adults and older children. They have lived with other dogs and cats before, so are pretty flexible as to their living arrangement. Payton and Eli are ready for active time and would be great walking buddies, play time partners or adventure companions. They are a nice portable size for travel. They also enjoy being close time and are happy to sit in your lap or cuddle. Payton and Eli are hoping for a family who will expand their horizons and give them the love and attention they deserve. These guys are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and ready to go. Please like and share to help them find their perfect team♥ To adopt, visit www.pawsct.org or stop by the shelter daily 12-4. #ReadyForATouchdown #DogsofPawsCt #PaytonandEli #Chipoodlemix #Cuties #Perfectteam #AdoptLocal #HelpaLocalAnimal #DoggyBrothers
