Now fostering in New England!

Guess who is sugar and spice and everything nice? This girl is! She is so sweet, in fact, that we went ahead and named her Icing! That’s right, this gal is as sweet as that icing on a cake…although, we are pretty sure she’s rather eat the cake than be on the cake…but hey, all we really know is that this girl is a CATCH!

Icing is a vibrant, fun-loving, happy happy, happy 1-year old Bull Terrier mix. She specializes in giving kisses and love to all the humans and dogs she meets. She is also an expert tug-of-war player, in fact she holds is the champion tug-of-war player in her current foster home. She also loves running around the backyard, snuggling in her humans lap (she’s one of those “I swear I’m a lap-dog kinda gals”, and snuggling up on a dog-bed with a good toy while her humans go about their days.

Icing was found as a stray by a rural shelter in Arkansas. When this gal was scooped up, it was pretty clear that she didn’t have a ton of experience living with humans. We realized pretty quickly that this sweetie is hearing impaired. Trust us when we tell you that does not stop her from grabbing the world by the tail and learning new things everyday. She is working on hand signals for sit, wait and down. She patiently waits for treats and will be a gem to teach sign language to. If you have experience with a deaf dog OR are up to learn how to best support a deaf dog and cannot refuse that face and all it has to offer, than this young lady is just for you! Plus, we may add that she is housebroken, crate trained AND leash trained. She’s sort of a dream girl.

So, what do you think? Do you have a soft place in your home and in your heart for this sweet girl? She is hoping her next stop is the furever kind and she’s wondering if it can be with you!

Her foster Mom would be HAPPY to share any and all information with you about this gal. She really is a gem!

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.
