NOW FOSTERING IN NEW ENGLAND

Are you seeking a companion who will love you unconditionally? A dog who looks at you like you are the best thing that has ever happened to them, and you fill their heart with pleasure just by rubbing their cute little ears? Are you not super active, or active in ways that a dog wouldn’t participate in? Are you looking for the love of a dog, but not interested in the chewing and potty training of a puppy? If you answered yes to at least three of these, then we have just what you ordered - Bob! 

Bob had a family before. His family lost their home and Bob was dropped off at a shelter. This was devastating to Bob - and while we do not know his personality prior, we can tell you that it is his greatest fear to be family-less again. Bob is 9 years old, and the years are starting to show on his face and body. He came to rescue extremely thin weighing in at only 14 lbs. He’s been putting on weight since he has moved into his foster home. Bob has some arthritis in one leg and is currently taking an over the counter glucosamine for it. 

Bob is currently fostering in a home with other dogs. He will play occasionally, but he is much more interested in the humans. The best day he has had in foster care so far was the day he was allowed to sleep at the foot of the bed. Due to Bob being hungry in his past, he can be a bit protective to other dogs of his food. We recommend he continues to get full meals in his own bowl. Bob knows his name and comes when called. He wags his tail anytime you nicely say his name! 
Bob appears to be a small sized Heinz 57 mix. He’s larger than a chihuahua, but smaller than a lab. He most resembles a Feist, in a smaller package. If you have any ideas on his breed please send them along!!

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.
