FOSTERING LOCAL IN NEW ENGLAND!

Edwyn is a great balance of being playful and chilling out. In his playful mode, he is a hoot, running all around, acquiring various toys, tearing the stuffing and squeaker out, so many cute antics, and essentially, entertaining himself. It is quite fun to watch! But after he gets this out of his system, he is astonishingly chill, finding a pet bed or the couch, with the other dogs or his humans, and plopping down. He loves people, especially the 2 teenage boys in the house. They have become his best friends and he wants to be wherever they are, so much so that he cries when they leave the house for work or school.

Edwyn currently lives in a small pack of dogs in his foster home, 6 other dogs to be exact, and he loves every single one of them. He is often found sharing pet beds with the other dogs and absolutely loves being in the same room as his humans.

Edwyn is basically a very happy dog with an ever-so-slight issue with separation, (like so many dogs) but it is quite manageable. He is safely gated in the kitchen when I leave and has gotten quite used to it, not giving me any problems. He will bark and cry for a bit when he is left behind, but I think having the other dogs to cuddle has been comforting to him.

Edwyn would be well matched if someone is looking for another playful dog for their already existing playful pup. I would tend to say that Edwyn would be happiest if not left alone for long, extended periods daily, and if he had a place to run around and express his joyful self, which often involves cruising the yard and encouraging his doggie friends to chase him. He will do best in a home with older children since he does have a big personality for such a little guy.

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.
