Addison

If you remember the “A Team” puppies this is their mom! Addison has done such an amazing job raising her pups and getting them adopted. Now it is her turn!

Momma Addison was likely dumped by someone who didn’t have the desire and/or means to take care of her babies after they realized she was expecting puppies. Poor Addison was trying to cross the main highway on Friday, December 6th, 2019, with one of her littles right behind her. Addison eventually led her rescuers to the rest of her puppies and they have been fostering with their finder ever since!

Addison is learning what it means to be part of a family and that it’s okay to play, be friends, & have fun with other dogs. She likes to play chase and having companionship. She is becoming familiar with beds, toys, treats, & manners.

Addison loves belly rubs and she enjoys being brushed. She also really seems to like the colder weather. She sleeps in a bedroom with four fans blowing at night just for her comfort. She also loves to stand out in the rain. We just keep a couple towels nearby when it’s raining to dry her off after she goes out.

Addison is smart and is learning a few things while she’s at her foster home. Addison is becoming familiar with, “Sit”, “Out”, “Down” (when/if jumping), “Let’s Go Potty”, “Be Nice”, “Good Girl”, “Time for bed” (or Night Night), “Time to eat”, “No” and a few others. She is a very smart and good natured pup, so she doesn’t seem to need a whole lot of direction. She has never had an accident in the house or car, however, she is not fond of car rides or baths.

Addison’s ideal home would have a fenced yard that belongs to someone who is looking for their Soul Puppy. She loves attention and always wants to be close by your side. She isn’t a super high energy dog, but she would probably love a best friend to play ball with her every day and another fur sibling to play chase with.

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.
