Debo

Fill out an adoption form

At 11 years old, Debo was left behind at a Mississippi shelter and never claimed—but you’d never know it from his sweet, happy spirit. He greets everyone with a wagging tail and a desire to connect.

Debo is the best of both worlds—an old soul with a playful side. He still enjoys a good run, lights up around people, and is happiest just being near his humans.

He’s house- and crate-trained, walks nicely on leash, and has done well with other dogs. When he’s extra happy, he may get a little jumpy—just his way of showing excitement.

Now in Massachusetts and ready for adoption, Debo is looking for a calm, adult-only home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by love and comfort.

If you’re ready to open your heart to a gentle, joyful senior, Debo is waiting.

NO CATS for this boy - not even a question.

We are looking for a low-key, easy home without lots of comings and goings - Debo had a reaction to a stranger entering his prior adoptive home, and we can only surmise that he somehow was frightened and reacted,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

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

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.
