Do you happen to be looking for a handsome hound? If so, read on!

This handsome, hunky hound is Quentyn. At 6 years old, this sweet, active, goofy guy has his sights set on a forever home. The kind of forever home where he can play during the day, go on walks, and then hit the couch at 8 pm with his humans. While this guy is active, he always schedules in lots of “down-time.” He prefers it if his downtime includes belly rubs!

Quentyn or “Q” as his foster Mom calls him was found running loose by a good samaritan. This poor guy was dirty, skinny, and shy when he was first found. It was clear he had been through a lot. However, with some tender loving care, this guy has not only put on weight but has also come way out of his shell. He is now an outgoing, playful guy. Quentyn needs an active family. One who likes long walks or playtime in the backyard. He would love, love, love a canine playmate, though it is not a requirement for his forever home. He loves other dogs, big and small! Any canine playmates should be active, too. Quentyn is currently fostering in New England with his foster Mom, human foster brother, and 2 canine foster siblings. He does great with everyone. He especially does great with his 7-year-old foster brother (the human one). He is very gentle and snuggly with him.

Quentyn’s foster Mom describes him as “goofy, clumsy, love.” He’s basically a 60 lb lap dog, who wants nothing more than to be loved by his people. He will climb over any obstacle to perch himself right in his foster Mom’s lap. At 60 pounds, this is no small feat!

He is also described as a snuggle bug. When not playing or anytime in the evening, he wants all the love. Since being with his foster Mom, he has made GREAT STRIDES in learning the dos and don’ts of in-the-house living. He first had no concept of what surfaces should and shouldn’t be walked on. However, he’s easily trainable and has gotten the hang of things. He’s even made great strides with potty training. Foster Mom reports he’s not had an accident in over a week! GO Q!

Since arriving in his foster home, Quentyn has been hard at work learning the dos and don’ts of in-the-home living. He’s learned which surfaces are for walking and which are for sitting. He’s learned counters aren’t for surfing. And, most excitedly, he’s made great strides in potty training. Foster Mom reports he’s been accident-free in the home for over a week. He will need a family committed to continuing his training. He’s a smart guy, though. And please his humans + treats are just about his favorite things! Oh, he’s also made great progress with crate training. He sleeps in the crate through the night like a dream!

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.
