Meet Raven!

This super cute active 6 months old Chi Schnauzer mix girl (best guess) is looking for her forever home. Raven was found in TN being only 6 weeks old and has missed out on some socializing time.

This precious girl is definitely a work in progress….we are not going to lie.
She is a bit anxious of new situations and people. Raven is learning that humans are good and patient and she will not be screamed at during her housetraining because of occasional accidents. At this point, she sometimes also goes on the pee pads, in addition to outside, she still does have accidents, but is improving.

Raven totally will attach to her human and will be a cuddle bug. She loves to curl up in your lap, neck or belly whenever she can. She is not a fan of a crate or pen and prefers to be near her person. She will settle down after a while. She is learning to enjoy car rides and has been doing better, in particular if her foster siblings are in the car with her.

Raven will need one other confident dog in her new home who will help her find her way and is able to handle her puppyish behavior. She is playing and cuddling with her foster siblings now that she feels safe and relaxed, sometimes a little too much. Raven has started to copy some of the silly things she is learning from her foster siblings and it is just adorable to observe!!

Raven requires a fenced in yard, as, at present, she will not do her business on a leash – hopefully that will change when the weather improves. She does walk well on the leash but does bark and act fearful when she faces new situations. As a matter of fact we need an adopter that does enjoy walking their dogs on a leash, as it will help Raven manage her energy bouts.

Since Raven displays some anxiety behavior (since she was separated so young), she needs an adopter who understands it, and who is dedicated to work with her long term. She also requires a fenced in yard, a dog sibling (as mentioned) and she needs to be part of a small, quieter household with no small children.

It will be a truly amazing experience to watch this special girl continue to blossom and come into her own.

Puppy Adoption Fee:  $525.00  
PLEASE - Think long and hard before adopting a puppy - consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with - he cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours at a time until he’s older, puppy proofing your home will be necessary, puppies scratch and nip so if you have small children, can they handle this?? Training will be so important in this puppy’s life, do you have the time??

Please review this checklist for socializing puppies - do you have the time - ask yourself before adopting.

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.
