Maxx

Does that first picture catch your attention?  Adorable right?  Don’t worry about his leg as it’s healed now and doing much better. 

Instead of us telling you about Maxx, here’s the email we received from the veterinarian/surgeon who is caring for him - speaks volumes not only about this kind man who kept Maxx from being euthanized but about Maxx - he was just so special he couldn’t let it happen.  WE hope you read this and just have to adopt this senior boy!!!

 Amy,  I hope all is well.  I was hoping you may be able to help me find a new home for a foster I have named Max.  We repaired a humerus fracture on Max January 17th and discharged him the following day.  That Evening the owners took him to the local emergency clinic AEC to have him euthanized in hopes they would not have to pay the remainder of their bill.  Luckily the Dr. recognized the patient recently had surgery (due to his large spica splint) and found out we had done surgery the day before.  As you know I am the surgery resident at MVS so they gave me a call in the middle of the night and I said absolutely not see if they will surrender him.  So they surrendered him and I have been fostering him since.  My goal was to manage his bandage as spica splints are difficult to manage and then allow complete bone healing before rehoming him.  He is due his final set of radiographs at the end of next week and I am hoping you will be able to help find a permanent home for him.  My concern for posting on the normal local sites is the owner may come across the posting and have  a friend or someone adopt him and he end up back with someone who was just going to have him euthanized.  Do you think you can help? Once he is ready it will simply be Max with no limitations, no bills, etc.

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.
