Maggie Mae

Fill out an adoption form

Maggie Mae is all personality. The sweetest, happiest, smartest dog you’ll ever meet, Mae is always making it clear exactly what she wants. She might not say much, but the little hurmphs and glares make sure you know exactly what she’s thinking. Favorite pastimes include sleeping, eating, staring out any available window, and trying to chase any rabbits or squirrels that may wander into her line of vision. Her classic move is to follow you from room to room and politely raise her hand to indicate she would like to be pet. And did I mention how much she loves staring out the window? Any window, anytime, she’ll be there!

Mae is 3 years old, crate trained, housebroken, and medium energy. She loves to chew on toys but somehow already knows what’s for her and what’s off limits. She is making progress learning basic obedience commands and loves working on puzzle toys. She’s got plenty of energy when taken outside despite being relaxed at home and is okay being left in her crate to chill. She just completed her heartworm treatment and is feeling much better and is looking for a forever home! Mae had her first sleepover recently and met a baby human for the first time, as you can see she was very pleased with her, so families with tiny humans are welcome!

Before coming to us she did live with other small dogs with no issues, but since coming to us has been barking at other dogs. It’s not entirely clear why she doesn’t like other dogs, or if she is small dog selective, but it’s probably best for Mae to be an only fur child. Mae is happily living as an only dog with us, and unfortunately due to the heartworm treatment is on restricted exercise so we haven’t been able to work on her social skills much yet. Mae loves to go for walks, and wants to go-go-go which means she does try to to pull. We are working on it but it’s definitely a work in progress. She hasn’t ever met a cat, though probably not a good idea considering her penchant for chasing other small critters. If you’ve got a window to look out and a couch to snuggle one, Mae’s your girl!

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.
