King

Fill out an adoption form

All hail the King!!

King may be small but he is mighty! All 9 pounds of his adorableness are looking for their forever home!

King was found roaming the streets of Nashvilles. Owners were never located and we think he may have been dumped.

King is now on his way to a great forever home! King is a people dog. He makes a friend and glues himself to that person. He is a busy boy, but well behaved in the home. He is crate trained and house trained! King would be best as an only dog. He is currently fostering with other dogs but he likes all the attention! He also was recently around cats for a few days, off and on. He is a little scared of them initially, but after a few minutes, he just ignored them.

Apply today for this adorable and loving guy!

**Update from foster mom 12/26
King has been with me as a foster now for a few months and I feel like I know him well! He is a sweet boy and craves someone to love and adore. I have 4 dogs on my own and King feels he needs all of my love and attention. He gets along great with my dogs. He plays with 2 of them, one male and one female. My other 2 are older and don’t care to play. King is active but also likes to chill on your lap or by your side. He uses a doggie door and walks on a leash. He is marking some but he appears to want to be alpha. I think in a home with less demand for the attention, he will stop marking. Perhaps a home where he is the only dog or has less than my 4 to compete with. He has a very endearing personality and just needs to find his perfect home match. King loves toys and will play by himself and seems quiet content. He likes kids but unsure of cats.

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.
