My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

"The Ultimate Adventure Buddy!"



Are you ready to add some joy to your life? Meet Dottie, a lively 5 month old Australian Cattle Dog/Rat Terrier mix. Born to mama Bessie on June 4, 2024, Dottie is one of the "7 Cowgirl Puppies." DNA testing on her sister confirms their primary breeds as  Australian Cattle Dog, Rat Terrier,and Australian Shepherd, with mom's small stature and presumed Aussie Shepherd mix dad suggesting Dottie will grow into a medium-sized dog. 



From Dottie's current foster:



"Dottie (or Lil’ Bit as her foster mom calls her) has blossomed lately. This bouncy little circus dog may look like a a full grown terrier but she’s actually still just a pup who is an amusing mix of smart, active breeds. She quickly masters food puzzles and is working on fetch. She sleeps through the night in her crate and is happy as long as you are nearby. She’s still mastering the art of house training but with consistency she should get the hang of it soon. She would love a doggy sibling who can match her energy and a family that is ready to exercise her mentally and physically. Once she’s done playing, Dottie likes to crash in your lap (she’s on the petite side)."



Apply to meet this sweet girl today and get ready for a lifetime of laughter, adventure, and unconditional love.



Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs.  We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted.  As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding!

More about this rescue

Paws Rescue League Inc. Rescues the dogs that need saving. We believe ALL dogs deserve love, happiness, and a family. We don't just take in the puppies, or the young fully vetted dogs who are quick to adopt. We take dogs of all ages, all sizes, all breeds and we do our best to find the best family that matches their needs. We work with our adopters to make sure they are supported, and the process is as stress free as possible. We are a 501(c)(3) non profit rescue, that is run by volunteers.

Currently we are NOT adopting to residents of MASSACHUSETTS OR MAINE. We will update our website when we are able to serve those areas. Thank you!
