NOW FOSTERING IN NEW ENGLAND!!!

Sissy is a beautiful little pittie mix with striking silvery gray markings and soulful eyes. This sweet, goofy pup is believed to be approximately 6 or 7 yrs old, and weighs in at a petite 35lbs.

This adorable girl is one of the sweetest and happiest pups we’ve ever fostered!

On nice days, Sissy prefers to spends most of her time in the yard, rolling in the grass, and napping in the sun.

When she’s not up exploring, Sissy is quiet and calm, and will happily nap on the couch or in her doggie bed. She’s crate trained and house trained ( has a 5 hour bladder so needs to go out frequently ) and already knows several commands. Sissy loves to cuddle, and if she had it her way, would spend every minute by your side!
Sissy bonds quickly, and it can be intense. She’s quiet, but definitely not a background dog. She’ll need a human that’s ok with a bit of loving neediness.

Sissy can be shy and unsure around strangers and has shown aggression, mainly to men, so this special girl will need a dog savy family that is willing to continue working on this with her.
A fenced in yard, preferably with a doggie door, is a must. In addition to her senior bladder, she really needs and wants to run! Its one of her favorite things and she does it out of pure joy. Another simple thing, but that’s huge in her book, is napping outside in the sun. (It’s literally the only thing she’s willing to leave your side for, and the only time she’ll let you out of her eye sight.)
-Another dog would be ideal, but not absolutely necessary. She’s big on playing and prefers to wrestle, but she also takes social cues really well and will tone it down if needed. A med or large dog would be best. Proper introductions to other dogs are a must.

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.
