Great way to ring in the New Year! Star found her new home today! Star went to a great home that she will share with a doggy brother. The two were clearly enjoying each other's company already. She will be accompanying Dad to work, enjoying lots of active time and definitely lots of play time with her brother.

Macho's grinning ear to ear thinking about a family to call his own! He's a super cute 6 month old German Shepherd/Chihuahua mix. He's full of puppy energy and eager to make new friends. Macho is looking for a family who's up for working on his puppy training and leash manners. He's a busy and intelligent guy who would probably do well with a canine companion and lots of opportunities for play time.

I wish I may, I wish I might...Meet Star! She's a perky 9 month old Australian Shepherd who's hoping to find a home for the holidays! Star is energetic, intelligent and willing to learn. She's a working dog who's in need of activity and mental stimulation. Star would be best for an adult household or a home with children 14+. She would be willing to share a home with a canine companion who can match her in size and energy level. Star would be a great hiking or running partner, perfect for an agility class or a high energy playmate.

Sammy is going home for the holidays! He was ADOPTED today! Sammy went home with a wonderful family, and they are looking quite comfortable together already. He's up for lots of attention and cuddling, exercise time and play time with his canine sister. We are grateful to all of the wonderful adopters who focus on things other than age when locating the right match. There are still lots of dogs and cats at PAWS waiting for their home for the holiday. We are open today and tomorrow from 12-4. Congratulations to Sammy and family! #dogsofpawsct #rescuedogsofinstagram #adoptdontshop #savealife #rescue #paws #norwalk #ct #nonprofit

He love's getting attention and likes to be as close as possible to his friends. Balto has gotten notably perkier since arriving at PAWS and continues to work on getting into tip top shape. He enjoys long walks, socializing in the park and curling up for a good movie with friends. He hasn't spent a lot of time with other dogs yet at PAWS, but did attend an outside event with other dogs and did great!

Could you be the one? Meet Miss Mia! She's a 3 year old chihuahua mix who is looking for someone to love! Mia was likely sheltered before coming to PAWS and can be uncertain with new people. She has been working on expanding her horizons and is making lots of progress! Mia is a complete love once she warms to you and enjoys getting up close and personal. She enjoys long walks and play time, as well as lots of snuggle time! Mia would like a positive and confident leader to help her continue her socialization and training. She would prefer an adult only home where she can be the center of attention. She's not been paired yet with other dogs, but would probably benefit from a social and outgoing canine companion to help show her the ropes. Please like and share Mia to help her find that special someone ❤️ To adopt, visit www.pawsct.org. #dogsofpawsct #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescue #adoptdontshop #savealife #paws #norwalk #ct #nonprofit

Sammy is our resident snuggle bunny who's just peeking out from his cozy corner to see if his forever family has arrived yet. Sammy is a sweet boy who loves attention and petting. He makes an art out of getting nice and comfy with whatever warm and fuzzy objects are made available to him. Sammy enjoys the company of other dogs and enjoys meeting new people. He's a lower energy guy who is up for a brisk walk, but is just as content to curl up in front of the fire with you. He's a perfect companion who's up for whatever you want to do. At a mere 7 years of age, Sammy still has lots of love to give to a lucky family.

Believe it or not...still waiting! We can't blame Evie for feeling a little down. A couple of her friends have gone to chill out in foster homes while she continues to wait in the kennel for her forever family to find her. We think Evie is simply perfect in every way. Evie likes playtime with other dogs. She is good with children. She enjoys meeting new people. Evie was a superstar at a local radio station, Stepping Stones Museum for Children and our very own, Reading to Rescues. Evie loves meeting new people. She walks great on leash and is intelligent and attentive. She's a striking girl who wants someone to recognize her for the special girl she is. Evie loves cuddle and snuggle time too. Please help Evie find her place to shine ❤️ A delightful dog like this shouldn't be sitting in a shelter simply because of her breed!
