NOW FOSTERING IN NEW ENGLAND!!!

Bitsie is an adorable little girl rescued from a hoarding situation in AK. A Jack Russel/Dauschund mix, she has a powerful little body, short legs, big ears and an itty-bitty tail.

Bitsie has been in foster care in NE since November 2019 and has come a long way. She lives with 4 other dogs who she gets along with pretty well. Bitsie is crate trained and will often relax there during the day, but she loves to snuggle and give kisses too. She will be your constant couch buddy. Leash walking is coming along though the “outside” world (cars, wind) still startles her sometimes. She’s never met a stranger and will happily greet everyone. She is housebroken and knows how to use a doggie door. Bitsie is very food motivated but is still learning not to grab treats. Toys are a favorite and she will hoard them in her crate or on the dog couch. She doesn’t think her foster siblings should have any toys and it’s quite funny to watch her steal them from right under their nose, but she is Not aggressive with them.

Bitsie likes kids but since she startles easily, older children would be best. A fairly calm home, with a fenced yard, and a crate of her own would be the best situation for Bitsie. With continued training and plenty of belly rubs, Bitsie will be an exceptional companion for the right person/family.

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.
