FOSTERING RIGHT HERE IN NEW ENGLAND!
Ms. Buggins is out and about in New England and looking for a hound family to call her own.
We’re going to tell you right at the start - this is a TRUE hound girl - if she can get off on her own, she’s taking the chance. Unless you have an activity level of a superhuman, we are requiring a good sized 6’ fenced yard for this girl - she needs room to run, and sniff and hang out to chase little animals that will get away from her but will keep keep trying!!
A fenced yard however will not replace the exercise that Buggins requires - we mean daily long walks/hikes - her foster home was doing 4-5 miles.
Mental stimulation for hounds is key as well.
She needs continued work on house training - we are waiting on her current foster to tell us about how crate training is going so we will have to report back on that.
She knows basic commands and is eager to learn. This girl could be a great agility dog if you have that in mind!!!
Her natural prey instinct is strong - rabbits, forget it. She’s gone. It will take a lot of training and work before she can be trusted off leash to return to you.
She is still puppyish in her play style with play-biting - she tries it with humans as well but has been discouraged from this as much as possible.
She barks when she is not happy or needs to pee. Other than that she is only vocal when she see squirrels
Buggins loves to have some fun - check her out!! https://youtu.be/zdvh6NFbSOM

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.
