Jaxson

Fill out an adoption form

Jaxson - NOT just another brindle pit bul. He’s special just like the others. 

He’s a bit luckier than some dogs as he was rescued by his former mom from Florida where he was living in not great circumstances - she snatched him up and brought him home to CT - she got him well as he was in tough shape and soon realized that this boy was active, much more so than the dogs she has, and needed more in the way of real activity. She did send him to daycare several times a week where he did great at John Gagnon’s Pet Resort but he could use someone that really likes some outdoor life we think

His foster mom will tell you that you give him cheese, he’s all yours! She’s been working on confidence building as he’s shy around new people but once you know his mannerisms and you know when he’s feeling it, he will meet new people and do well. He has gone on trips with her to trails to walk, lakes and is a great companion at home while she’s working - he’s content to be your work buddy with some exercise in between.

He did well in his prior home with his house siblings and was actually submissive to the female. As we mentioned, he can go to daycare without issue and loves it!!!

Walking on a leash is still a challenge when it comes to meeting new dogs - we more than willing to work with an adopter on this by refunding directly to a trainer up to the amount of his adoption fee to help with this expense. He’s smart, he will listen - he just needs guidance and time and with professional help it should not be a long process.

Jaxson is house trained and as you can see, he does love a good bed!

The optimal home for Jaxson would be one with breed experience because of his size and enthusiasm…

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Interested in a specific dog, please fill out an application if you are interested in a dog. The number of individual inquiries is overwhelming and we are finding it difficult to respond to each one. We cannot guarantee you will receive a timely response.

Paws New England is a rescue, not a shelter, and as such we do not have our dogs housed in one location - they are in foster homes both in New England and in our southern foster homes.   If you’re interested in a specific dog, please complete a short online application and you will receive a reply within 48 hours so you can ask questions.

At present, if a dog is listed on our website, the dog is considered still available HOWEVER, may have applications that have come in before yours but it’s still too early to know if any are a good match; therefore we encourage you to apply.

NOTICE WITH REGARD TO LOCATION OF DOGS:  Please note: Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. We do not have a brick and mortar building to house the dogs we rescue. We have found that dogs in foster homes are much more adoptable because they have been observed in a home setting. Dogs listed with Paws New England typically reside in various locations throughout the south (primarily Tennessee, Texas, and Arkansas) and New England (not necessarily in the state of Rhode Island). You will be notified by the adoption coordinator of the location of the dog you are interested in so you have the ability to decide whether to pursue adoption or not.

Dogs transported to New England are done so at a fee of $150.00 paid directly to the transporting company by Paws New England; no additional transport costs are responsibility of adopter. This fee is included in the adoption donation.

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your dog will help others in need.

All known information about the animal is listed above. We do our best to give accurate information, but most of our dogs are rescues and do not come with a known history.

Paws New England abides by the dog importation regulations set forth in the states of MA, CT, NH and RI.
