So won’t you say you love me? I’ll make you so proud of me. We’ll make ‘em turn their heads every place we go. For every kiss you give me, I’ll give you three. I have been waiting for you and will adore you ‘til eternity.

My name is Johnny Castle and I am as handsome as my namesake. I am a large boy and absolutely gorgeous. I love people and loved it when my neighbor’s daughter gave me a huge hug around my neck. I wagged my tail and tried to hug her back with all my heart. I love going for walks, but I need a little more work walking on a leash because I am strong and high energy. I get excited and try to pull in the beginning. I do not jump up, even when I am excited!

I was found on the streets of Memphis running with a large group of dogs. We were all friends and got along great. I had a really good friend that didn’t want to be left behind, his name is Juno, and I watched out for him every day on the streets. He and I are sharing a bunk at our foster home and he is doing great too. I will need a good meet and greet and proper introduction with new dogs, and really am too big and have too much energy for small dogs. I have not been formally tested, but my foster Dad says that I am probably not a fan of cats. I am learning all about toys and treats and I LOVE them. I am almost housebroken, but I will need consistency in a new home, environment and with a new routine. I am also crate trained, but I would prefer not to be crated. I have also will need a very secure fence or to be walked on a leash because I have gotten out of my current fence a few times. I was just trying to find my old friends, but my foster Dad says that I have a new life ahead of me and that I can’t wander anymore.

So won’t you, please, be my, be my Forever Family?

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.
