Senior Dog Alert - Sweet, sweet senior

Reilly is a cocker girl we’ve rescued from West Virginia and she is as sweet as she is pretty - she is blind at this point in her life secondary to what we think is either cataracts or glaucoma  - she will have an evaluation at a veterinary ophthalmologist when we get her to New England and are hopeful we can perhaps restore some sight to this girl.

Reilly was found on a porch in West Virginia - the gentleman couldn’t get in his house as she was sleeping - he called the local animal control who came and picked her up - knowing our love of seniors we were asked if we’d take her - and the rest is history!!
Reilly gets along with other dogs at the shelter - she does get startled easily until she knows her surroundings but she does not show this in any aggressive fashion.  When found she was covered in fleas and flea dirt - the staff at the shelter were able to get her groomed and she looks (and feels) so much better.

Our plan is for Reilly to come to New England the weekend of 9/27 - we are hopeful you will want to adopt her with the full knowledge of her eye condition however we will cover the evaluation with a veteran ophthalmologist - either one of the ones we partner with or if there’s one you know of, we can certainly work with them if possible.

Reillly deserves a place to land, forever.  She shouldn’t need to ever roam around without a home.

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.
