PET OF THE WEEK: Tanner

Chiweenie!

January 30, 2015

Hi, I’m Tanner the Chiweenie! I enjoy car rides, laying in the sun and hanging out with you!

I’m a pretty mellow guy, but I enjoy playing in the yard and going on walks. I get burst of energy from time-to-time and run around like a puppy!

I am looking for a home that will take it slow with me and give me time to adjust. I’ve gone through many changes in the last few months and would like to settle down for good!

At two and a half years old, I still have a long life ahead of me and I would love to spend it with you! Ask about me today!       

Tanner is available for adoption right now at PAWS in Norwalk. If you or a family you know is interested in adopting sweet Tanner please go to his page and fill out an application.

PAWS is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in continuous operation since 1962 by Westport, Connecticut resident Betty Long to rescue homeless dogs and place them in permanent homes. In the early 1980s, our rescue efforts were expanded to include cats. PAWS rescues & rehomes approximately 115 dogs and 435 cats annually. Many of the dogs faced euthanasia at local pounds and most of the cats that we help are strays and abandoned cats that roam our streets. A portion of the pets that come to PAWS have been relinquished by their owners who are no longer able to care for them.

 

As we are a registered non-profit, all contributions to PAWS are fully tax-deductible as allowed by law.

PAWS has a handful of paid staff and a team of dedicated volunteers that help with everything to fundraising, to kennel work, to walking dogs and much, much more. Every person at PAWS is a valued & needed member of our team - without them we could not accomplish the miracle that happen every day!

For 37 years, PAWS rented space from local boarding kennels & veterinary hospitals. Over time, the demands placed on us by the community increased and we felt that in order to increase & expand our services, we would need our own shelter. In 1999, PAWS undertook the task of building a shelter of our own. We moved into our own shelter in 2001 and have since greatly increased the number of pets we have been able to help.
