Pet of the week...
Leilani is a 2 year old Pit Bull Terrier who came to Paws from our local animal control. Leilani is very sweet, LOVES everyone she meets and likes to play with other dogs. She needs some basic training, but is very smart and learns quickly. She would be the perfect addition to any family. Don’t mistake her cropped ears, sadly this is still common practice for this breed as well as doberman’s and great danes. It is usually done for show purposes but some just like the look.
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.
