FOSTERING LOCAL IN NEW ENGLAND!

How about a big boy? 90 lbs of puppy!

Nick was adopted as a baby to a family who just were not prepared to deal with a growing pup who rapidly grew to 90 lbs - they provided training with a professional but really didn’t understand puppy behavior and returned him to us advising that he was “aggressive.”

Nothing could be further from the truth - he’s fostering with one of our “behavior” fosters who said he’s a big baby who is now learning how to not use his mouth like hands! He knows some basic commands and is learning every day - he LOVES having another dog to play with in the house.

His foster mother says:
Nick is the happiest, goofiest most loving extra large puppy!! He will make you laugh after a hard day at work with his big personality He’s the most gentle puppy I’ve ever seen around children, especially toddlers. He loves to play with every dog he meets and gives amazing hugs and kisses to any human who will let him. He loves being outside his kennel and running around on adventures. He seems to really like car rides and does really well on a leash. Right now his foster is working on his crate training and rebuilding his confidence.

He’ll be ready for his new life in no time.

Foster mom is working on his jumping for attention behavior - this may be ongoing and Paws New England will gladly remit his adoption fee to a trainer that adopters’ work with to help cover the expense to continue this training.

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.
