Paddington Meadowood - Loca

Fill out an adoption form

Meet Paddington - Like your favorite snack, he is a sweet and salty boy. He’s adorable with a combo of long body, short legs, wirey coat and a wiggly stumpy tail.

The Memphis rescue community recently lost a beloved member, Suzy of Meadow Wood Rescue, who dedicated her life to saving countless needy dogs. Following her passing, fellow rescuers have stepped in to ensure her personal dogs and rescues find loving homes.

Paws New England is honored to assist with this effort. All the dogs have been placed in foster homes where they are settling in and adjusting well, though understandably confused and grieving. Suzy cared for these sweet dogs well, but they required updates on vaccinations and spay/neuters. Much of this care has been completed thanks to generous community donations and veterinary support.

What we have learned about Paddington:

*Crate Trained - he loves his crate, goes in willingly and chooses often to nap there

*Housetrained - he has done well with his housetraining and had a few accidents his first few days in his new foster home

*Other dogs - Paddington needs another confident dog in his life. He takes his lead from another dog and needs one to feel confident and secure in his home

*Fenced in yard required - Paddington does well walking with another dog, however, he would love a fenced yard to play in. He is nervous of street noises and cars and will not be well suited for a home on a busy road.

*Experienced owner - Paddington has some terrier quirkiness so looking for someone with past terrier experience who loves and understands exactly what we mean

*He loves to play with his toys

*Paddington needs a little bit of time to warm up to new people but enjoys down time on the couch with his person

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  

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 newly adopted dog will help others in need.
