TINK

Fill out an adoption form

Adorable Tink has been living right here in Massachusetts with her family who fostered her as a puppy along with her siblings.  They decided to keep Tink because they fell madly in love with her.  Unfortunately they’ve had a fairly major life change with an elderly family member moving in who will be home during the day at times alone and Tink is still a bit too jumpy and they don’t want to crate her all day long.

This pretty girl (look at her markings) is looking for a home with another dog who likes to play because she certainly does (or doggie daycare several days a week should be an option).  She does well in  her crate and settles down nicely but has been crated a lot in the last few months so we are hoping we can find her a situation where that’s not the case.  She does still need some work on house training. 

We have reduced her adoption fee from our usual $450 in the hopes the new adopters will put that savings toward some basic manners training which she needs - she knows basic commands and is super smart and foot motivated.

Tink has lived with older kids and will do well with children 10 and up - she is NOT mouthy but is a bit rambunctious so that is our only concern with smaller children.

She’s currently fostering in a doggie day care and loves the other dogs - she does well with correction from the older dogs who get annoyed with some of her puppy behaviors.

She’s more gorgeous in person than her pictures show - shiny black coat that looks like velvet with white front legs and markings that are really different on her belly.   Shorter legs and a long body - a little different.  Her ears are adorable - kind of almost like they didn’t grow all the way in!!!

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 the 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.
