You will only be allowed to apply for this dog if you fell in love with her face immediately - like instantly - on the spot because this girl is special.

Jenny was a “field stray” at the Memphis Animal Shelter and it was apparently life had not been kind to her - you can read below from her foster mom who works at the shelter.

Fast forward two months later and this girl as you can see from her photos loves her doggie friends.  She is healing wonderfully from her surgery - she has to build up some muscle but that’s coming along.  
She loves her humans and is great with her foster mom’s kids.  

We would like a home for Jenny with at least one if not more other dogs of her size that are playful and  have no issues (dog selective etc) - Jenny needs to have dogs that will play with her and treat her well. 

A fenced yard will be needed for her as she learns to trust her new family again - we know she will be set back a bit upon arrival - having the ability to go out into a yard with her dog siblings and come in with them will be key for her - she will follow their lead.  

Patience will be needed for Jenny - if you don’t have that please don’t apply.

From her foster mom:
I don’t know what her life was like before but it wasn’t kind to her. She has an old scar under her neck from a collar wound and was just so flat/shut down for a long time, but still sweet. She loves going up to the boys and licking them right in the face, wagging her tail and will follow them to do so.  Once she warms up, she is definitely engaging and quite happy. When she realized she was expected to go through the door into the garage that she had never been though yesterday, she put the brakes on and had to be carried to the truck. When I picked her up, she was her quite stoic self and had to be carried again. I just think new things are just scary still. She absolutely LOVES big fluffy dog beds though. Cats took her a little bit to get used to as well, but she is fine with them now too. She does like to be near us and will follow us around if we are outside, or just lay by our chair etc.

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.
