FOSTERING IN NEW ENGLAND!

Frances came off the transport and ran up to give us affection without any fear or nerves. She jumped right in to our family and would love to do the same to yours! Frances’ ideal home would be an active family who runs, hikes, etc so she can get lots of exercise.

Likes include playing tug, chewing blankets, playing tug, chin scatches, and playing tug.

Dislikes include vacuum cleaners, baths, and live cello music.

Frances is an owner surrender through no fault of her own. Her Dad took a new job which involves a lot of travel and Mom was unable to give her the exercise she requires due to a disability.

Frances loves to run and play. She needs lots to exercise to be happy. She loves tug-of war the best! She craves attention and can be obnoxious until she gets her fill. She can leash walk, but needs training. She loves to give kisses and can be mouthy at times but is learning manners.

Frances loved her cat brother but has to be reminded to be gentle. She might chase or be rough with a cat because she wants to play. She has not lived with other dogs, but is happy to play with anyone she meets. Sometimes she can be shy at first when meeting new friends. She likes little kids but is big and excited and might knock a child (or someone elderly, etc) to the ground. Older children would be fine.

Frances is a natural guard dog and will bark when other dogs or humans walk by. She needs a family willing to work on continuing puppy training with her. So far she knows some basic commands, is crate trained, and appears to be mostly housebroken. She gets bored easily and she has a lot of energy. She needs ways of expelling energy positively so that she isn’t hyperactive. She is (so far) a digger.

With a little training and a lot of love Frances would make a wonderful addition to any family.

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.
