Millie Won't Fetch. She's not going to be running any marathons any time soon, accompanying you on a morning jog or a long walk in the rain (she hates the rain)! Millie does like an evening stroll, laying in the sun and a good belly rub. She gives the best kisses and loves to hang out with her friends. Millie is a great companion dog for a quiet household. She would prefer to live in an adult household. She would also like to be the solo pet so she can hold her rightful place as queen of the household and be the center of your attention. Millie would be a great copilot for errands about town, hanging out and watching a movie or some serious snuggle time. She is eligible for PAWS' Senior Pension Plan which means no adoption donation required and some lifelong medical follow up.

Future Plans? Meet Rex! His checklist for things to do in the near future include: learning some new tricks, eating some more cheese and finding an adoptive home. Rex is a super cute 2 year old Jack Russell Terrier who always enjoys making a new friend. He's an energetic boy who is always up for a little action and adventure. He shows positive interest in other dogs and would probably benefit from sharing a home with a canine playmate. Rex came into PAWS with skin issues, but is now receiving treatment. He walks well on leash, knows some basic commands and is intelligent and responsive. Rex's Recommendation? Put visiting PAWS and adopting a new best friend on your short checklist!

Ready To Fly Out of Here! Ziggy is an 8 year old pit bull terrier mix that is looking for a hero to bring him home to enjoy his retirement years. Ziggy is an active boy who still enjoys a game of fetch, play time with the hose and a hike in the mountains. He would like to be an only pet, but thinks there's nothing better than making a new friend or chilling with his people. Ziggy is a smart and responsive boy who's very willing to work for a treat. He learns quickly and enjoys the mental stimulation. Ziggy has been working on his skills on leash so that he can become a model canine citizen. PAWS will offer follow-up training so his adopter can continue his training. He's also eligible for PAWS' Senior Pension Plan which means no adoption donation required and some lifelong medical follow-up. Ziggy would like a quiet home with a fenced in yard, ideally, for playing fetch. He's a social boy who's great with kids and is very willing to engage with your house guests. He's very good at keeping himself entertained and would be ready to great you at the end of the day with a wiggly body and a wagging tail. Ziggy thinks there's no better time than time spent with you.

We Continue our Pit bull Awareness series with dear Layla. Layla is a 3 year old pit bull terrier mix that came to PAWS from local animal control. She had clearly been used for breeding previously. Her family was aware she was there, but sadly never came to retrieve her. Because she is such a sweetheart and so great with people and other dogs, she was chosen to represent a local animal control facility for a radio station appearance, as well as the opening of a local dog park. When we met Layla, we knew we would be proud to also have her as a PAWS' ambassador. Mom, Courtney, and Dad, Dayon, did not focus on Layla's breed. They just wanted a good dog. Layla clearly fit that bill, and Layla wasn't at PAWS for long before she headed home. Her parents write: She is our little love! She has been coming out of her shell and making our house her home. She loves to go on walks in the neighborhood and has even made friends with the goldendoodle across the street. She loves her big sister Olive, and is always giving kisses. And belly rubs are her favorite, so she gets them a lot. We learned this week that she doesn't much like the cold weather! She takes the blanket from our futon and wraps herself up in it! And she loves to lay on the fireplace hearth since Dad has started making fires. She is a perfect addition to our family and we are so happy to have been able to adopt her. Could a pit bull be the "little love" you have been looking for? Keep an open mind and visit one at a local shelter today♥ #pitbullawarenessmonth #dogsofpawsct #littlelove #pitbullsrock #pittbullsofinstagram #pitbullove #dogsofinstagram #dogs #norwalk

Here Comes The Sun! Levi is a super handsome 2 year old pit bull terrier mix who is looking forward to brighter days ahead! He is a social and happy guy who never passes on making a new friend. Levi enjoys action and adventure, but is also content to just hang around you (the closer, the better)! He hasn't been paired yet with other dogs at PAWS, but shows positive interest. Photos don't do this guy justice. He's definitely a looker with his blue and muted brindled coat and his endearing slightly wrinkled face. Levi walks well on leash and knows some basic commands. He's definitely up for some training time and learning a new trick or two. Levi would be a great companion for a fall hike, exploring on the beach or just hanging out and watching a movie. He isn't quite ready to be formally adopted, but would like a foster-to-adopt family while he awaits his neuter surgery. Please like and share Levi to help him find his place in the sun♥ To adopt, visit www.pawsct.org. #dogsofinstagram #dog #dogs #pitbull #pitbullsofinstagram #pitbullove #cute #handsome #adopt #adoptdontshop #dogsofpawsct #adoptyourbestfriend #makeadiference #shelterdogsrock #paws #norwalkct #thankyou
