Meet Paddington!

Paddington would love to join a forever family who can appreciate this unique and adorable boy!

This scruffy guy would benefit from a home on the quiet side with minimal daily disruptions. He makes an amazing canine sibling since he loves other dogs.

Day to day life with Paddington shows him to be loving, funny and a joy to be around, but he is no fan of strangers coming into his home. His reactions are based in fear and he will need understanding and accommodations to work with him on this. Simply having him go to his crate when guests come in works beautifully.

Paddington requires space time and patience to adjust to his new family, but once he trusts he blossoms into an amazing and adorable family member.

Key points about Paddington:
* Personality: Sweet, scruffy, full of personality, playful, but very cautious with new people and can lash out if frightened.
* Physical description: Long body, short legs, wiry coat, short "wiggly" tail.
* Ideal home: Quiet environment, a canine sibling, family who understands his need for space and time to adjust.
* Activities he enjoys: Playing fetch in the yard, playing with his toys, cuddling on the couch, napping in his crate.
* Important considerations: Needs patience with new people, best suited for a calm environment with minimal street noise. 

Paddington is ready to start a new chapter and find a home where he truly can belong!

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.

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.
