Adoption Alert! Congratulations to Charles who found his new home today! Charles was at animal control for some time before coming to PAWS, but didn't have to wait long to find his new family. He went to a wonderful home where he's sure to be the center of attention and have lots of outlets for his energy. Dad and Charles clearly couldn't have been happier to have found each other. Happy Tails! #dogsofpawsct #adoptdontshop #savealife #dogsofinstagram #rescue #rescuedog #paws #ct #nonprofit

Soul Sisters! PAWS' Alum, Blair (formerly Raja), pictured with her new canine best friend, Autumn. These girls may seem somewhat like opposites, but they are actually perfect together! Blair may be small, but she has been a powerhouse in terms of calming her sister and helping her with some aging-related issues. Blair's family had been looking for a lovable lap dog, but hadn't imagined themselves with a chihuahua. They were willing to keep an open mind and meet Blair. Blair and her new human best friend are now connected at the hip! We at PAWS, take great pride in the time and thought we put into matching each dog with their adopters. We think it results in opening up possibilities for everyone and some really amazing happy endings! Happy tails, Blair! #dogsofpawsct #alumni #PAWS #norwalk #ct #rescuedogs #adoptdontshop #savealife #rescue #thankyou #nonprofit

"Don't worry Cricket. I'm sure they're coming." Barney and Cricket are patiently biding their time and keeping each other company until they are ready to be adopted. We at PAWS are very grateful for our wonderful staff and volunteer dog caretakers. They do their best to keep our dogs busy with walks, play time, socializing and cuddles until they find their permanent homes. Barney is a slightly shy 5 year old Yorkshire Terrier who is sure to win you over with his gentle ways. Cricket is a very sweet 2 year old long-haired chihuahua who lives to meet new people, get cuddled and give kisses. We think they complement each other perfectly. They are looking for a home together. For more information about PAWS' dogs or to volunteer to help keep our dogs company while they await their forever homes, visit www.pawsct.org. #dogsofpawsct #PAWS #CT #norwalk #nonprofit #shelter #savealife #adoptdontshop #rescue #rescuedogs #cricket #barney

These boots are made for walking! Meet Charles, a super sweet 2 year old hound/terrier mix who's getting ready to go! He can be a little shy at first, but is a complete delight once he warms (and it doesn't take long). Charles is a handsome, fun and energetic guy in a nice compact package. He is intelligent, attentive and eager to learn. He will be a great pup to teach some new tricks or take to class. Charles enjoys the company of other dogs and would benefit from a social and outgoing canine companion. He will be ready to GO on the 23rd. Could you be the one to take him home? Please like and share to help Charles find his walking buddy.

Dora was such a supermodel for her photo shoot, it was hard to choose just one photo! She is a 2.5 year old pitbull terrier mix who's as loving and happy as they come. She's a gorgeous sparkling champagne color from head to toe and is as sweet as cinnamon sugar! Like her namesake, Dora is up for some action and adventure, but knows how to settle and be a cuddle buddy when the time is right. She enjoys play time with her human friends, as well as her canine buddies. Dora was waiting at Animal Control for a home for a while before coming to PAWS. We can't understand how this complete lovebug has been passed by. She's not quite ready for adoption, but is eager to get the show on the road. Please like and share to help this cutie find the place where she belongs ❤️ For more info, visit www.pawsct.org. #dogsofpawsct #savealife #dora #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescue #adoptdontshop #nonprofit #norwalk #ct

ADOPTED! Frank came to us from a local animal control and had to wait a bit at PAWS while he worked on his social skills and training. Today it obviously all paid off, because he was ADOPTED! As you can see he could hardly contain his excitement. Frank went home with a PAWS' volunteer, who we know will provide a patient and loving home. He will share his home with a canine sister and is up for lots of playtime, squeaky toys and cuddling galore! Congratulations to Frankie and family! #dogsofpawsct #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedog #rescue #adoptdontshop #savealife #norwalk #ct #nonprofit

Guess who was ADOPTED?! Richie headed home today with an awesome family! They are planning to keep Richie busy and work on his training and social skills. He is going to be getting lots of attention, cuddling and, surely, lap time. We really can't express the amount of gratitude we have to our adopters who are willing to give our dogs their second chances! We believe there's a match out there for everybody and that Richie has met his match. We couldn't be happier for Richie and family! ❤️❤️❤️ #weloveyourichie #dogsofpawsct #rescuedogs #adoptdontshop #savealife #Richie #paws #nonprofit #norwalk #ct #donate #thankyou

Meet Stella! Stella is a 2 year old Shepard mix looking for a place to call home. She is an energetic, vocal and happy girl who enjoys being around her people. She is attentive and intelligent. Give Stella something to do and she aims to please! She loves to play and enjoys canine companionship. Stella also enjoys cuddle time with her friends. She knows her basic commands and would benefit from continuing her training.
