Lucy

Fill out an adoption form

Momma Louise, now known as Lucy, has a sad past like so many others in Texas. In September she was found under an abandoned house emaciated with her litter of puppies. They were rescued and brought to the county shelter. Her puppies found homes and now it is Lucy’s turn.

She has the most beautiful soulful eyes that make you just want to hug her! She loves her hugs and scratches. Lucy will let you cuddle and pet her as long as you want. Her coloring is gorgeous and her coat is very healthy.

Lucy loves her food and gobbles it right down! She has gained weight, now at 55 lbs. shortly after she arrived at her foster home, it was noticed that she had a limp. An X-ray was done and it was determined that she needed to have FHO surgery which was done the middle of January.

She loved playing with other young foster dog. Lucy is so friendly and loves attention. She was quite exuberant when she first arrived at the foster home, but she has calmed down considerably now. Lucy has spent time with the foster’s 3 year old granddaughter and they get along without issues.

Lucy is excited to get out of her kennel in the morning! Once she runs around, eats her breakfast and does her business, she’s ready for her nap time. She loves to chase after squirrels! She likes her chew bones and toys. She would love to have a playmate.

Lucy gets along with the foster’s senior dogs by ignoring them. If she does try to play with one, he will growl and she walks away. She is ok on a leash, but needs some training.
Lucy would do well in a home with other playful dogs her size. She is house and kennel trained. Lucy has been around grandkids ages, 11, 8 and 3. She is good with them, plays ball or tug of war.

We believe she would do well in an active home with older children, an active adult home, a home where she is cherished and loved. Final words—-I LOVE LUCY!!

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.
