Paisley Sky

Fill out an adoption form

Paisley Sky is a stunning miniature Aussie who is looking for her forever home.

Paisley was initially bought by a family with small children. She did great with the family and with the children however shortly after they got her they realized she was deaf. They were unwilling to work with her so they dumped her. She ended up getting pregnant with a Great Pyrenees and had 10 puppies! She was a great mom to her puppy who have since all found homes and she is now looking for a family of her own!

She is now in an amazing foster home and they say she is great! She plays with two other dogs at her foster home and does great with them! She loves treats and belly rubs as well! Paisley is a bit of an attention hog. She is also an escape artist and has figured out how to get out of latched gates. She cannot CURRENTLY be off leash or unsupervised but deaf dogs can be trained to be off leash.

Paisley is working on learning signs and has sit down! She will need a family that continues to work with her on signs. She has a tendency to jump up on people- they are working on it but it will need to be worked on further in her forever home!

If you have the time and a bit of extra energy to put into working with a deaf dog- you will be rewarded beyond belief with this sweet girl! Apply today!

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.
