This beautiful, amazing, wonderful, lovely, stunning, exceptional creature is Geraldine - so many more adjectives we could use to describe her.  A senior lady of just pure greatness.  Want to know how we really feel??  

Geraldine landed at the Memphis Animal Shelter and sat there for quite a while during the COVID shutdown and finally we noticed her and sprung her - she was taken from a home after her owner died and it seems her life wasn’t great from what was in the surrender report but all is hopefully forgotten now.

Foster mom tells us she’s pure delight - loves the other dog and initiates play at every meeting - she’s happy to go in a crate but will sleep at the foot of the bed on the floor too.  Zero issues with food around her or the other dogs. Her demeanor is just calm and chill but she’s up for whatever play may be going on. Her ideal home will have another dog and a human who is home more than they are gone. She settles and is not destructive but does not like to see her human go!

She’s a little hand shy - but warms up right away and isn’t fearful at all - she learns quickly you’re her friend and then that’s all it takes.

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.
