FOSTERING IN NEW ENGLAND!!!

Hey, does your dog need a dog? Well….. https://youtu.be/fmb5zr-9xhI

Recently discovered about Zack- the beach has a calming effect on him…. you don’t need to live on a beach to adopt Zack but visiting one would be amazing (actually it’s amazing for anyone right?).

Let’s make this easy and give you a list of what this gorgeous, sweet boy would like you to know about him! (His foster mom helped him write it…)

We want to say right at the beginning that this boy MUST have another dog in his adoptive home - he looks to his canine friends for guidance when it comes to hanging with the humans.

Zack -
~ Loves to sit & snuggle with his person
~ Loves/Needs dogs - AT LEAST ONE DOG in his new home is a requirement
~ Is a beautiful black, shiny boy and a perfect size at only 39bs
~ Is crated trained and house trained too
~ Is a dream leash walker
~ Knows his commands: sit, down, come, touch, leave it, waits for permission to eat
~ Is extremely smart and treat motivated
~ Loves car rides (drives kids to school and activities)
~ Is well behaved in house, no jumping
~ Is good with respectful children ages 5-7 years and is fostering with 3 kids ages 7,11,13
~ Needs slow introductions and space with new people

Zack arrived into his foster home with an overriding aversion to the foster dad - fearful, barking.
His foster family has worked with him tirelessly and it’s amazing how far he has come during this time. His new family will be asked to continue working with Zack on his timidity around strangers and males.

They have Zack on a program to help him over his fears and have had a behaviorist meet with Zach and start him on his way to a new life. Zach is on an anti-anxiety medication that is inexpensive and he takes it with zero issues - this may be life long.

A fenced yard and at least one other dog to play in that yard with is what he needs so no exceptions.

Zack attend doggie daycare and has boarded with that same group and does GREAT even without his canine brothers around - so it’s clear - dogs are his buddies and those buddies teach him about the human buddies……

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.
