Disabled? Special needs? Don’t tell Wriglee that! There is nothing going to hold back this amazing girl!

Wriglee is a stunning Australian shepherd. She is a Double Merle. This happens due to irresponsible breeding. Some people know this as albino. Due to being a Double Merle, Wriglee is hearing impaired and partially blind. In her current home she relies on her canine companions to show her the ropes and has been able to master getting around a 12 acre farm with their guidance! She is house trained and adapts to her surrounding fairly quickly. She struggles when outdoors in the sun due to the lack of pigment in her eyes so she is not left out for long periods of time during the peak sun hours. She will instinctively stay to the shady areas where possible. But she loves to run and play.

in her short life she has been exposed to lots of other dogs, farm animals, and cats and gets along great with all of them! Wriglee is very smart and already has mastered sit, shake, and high five. She loves to play fetch. She does have separation anxiety that is paired with chewing. She is given rawhide bones and lots of chew toys to help deter the chewing but it is something that will need worked on in her new home. She also needs continued work on leash skills.

She would flourish in a family that has another dog to help show her the ropes and give her guidance. If you are up for a truly amazing dog- apply today for Wriglee!

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.
