Bennett

Fill out an adoption form

Update - Bennett is New England and has arrived safe and sound -

Foster mom relates that he is a very sweet puppy, clearly wants nothing but affection from his humans. Very eager to please and give lots of kisses. Seems to know a few basic commands (lie down, come and his name). Likes treats, but my guess is he’ll be easily trained.

He’s good with his foster brother for the most part, but does get jealous if he thinks the foster brother is getting too much attention. He’s not likely to be a good match for families with small children - still in a very jumpy stage (though he will be working on “off” while in foster care).

Bennett is new to our rescue coming to us from our friends from Paws & Claws in Tipton County  - a great group of women who rescue from the local shelters there in Tennessee.  We had worked with this group at the start of PNE and we are thrilled to be working together again.

As this gorgeous creature is very new to us having just been accepted into our program, we can’t tell you too much about Bennett but we wanted to get this gorgeous face out to you in case it’s just the one you’ve been searching for.

All of the P&C dogs have been dog tested and have passed with flying colors in play groups (we usually have video) and human tested of course!!  We just can’t promise you right now if they are good with little humans and felines but we can get that done once we move them to one of our foster homes either in Tennessee or New England.

If you like this face, don’t hesitate - fill out an application, we’ll get you some more information and if it’s not a good fit, no harm done - we’re not going to make you adopt a dog that’s not a good fit!!  And if it’s a good fit, everyone wins!!

The dogs coming from our friends at Paws and Claws are rescued from high kill shelters and are then kept in their private center so are not housed in foster homes prior to coming to New England except in certain circumstances when one is available - we cannot therefore guarantee that any dog is housebroken.

PLEASE - Think long and hard before adopting a puppy - consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with - he cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours at a time until he’s older, puppy proofing your home will be necessary, puppies scratch and nip so if you have small children, can they handle this?? Training will be so important in this puppy’s life, do you have the time??

Please review this checklist for socializing puppies - do you have the time - ask yourself!!!

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.

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.
