Nestle Meadowood

Fill out an adoption form

Nestle is a senior southern gentleman who is one of the many dogs from Meadow Rescue in Memphis - their caretaker for many many years passed away leaving approx 65 dogs. Walter was an official greeter to the rescue.

Paws New England took in many, mostly the seniors from this group because we just love them.

Nestle is in a foster home now and has done great with humans and the other dogs (some of whom he knows of course).

Nestle's foster mom tells us the following ~ "Nestlé is a big goofy boy. He has a very sweet nature but acts
like a senior puppy. He definitely doesn’t act his age. He has the qualities of puppy behavior when he’s interacting with you at times! We are doing a lot of positive reinforcement training and he learns well and is much better about his house manners now. He would do best with someone who can continue give him the love and structure he needs in a positive patient manner. He wants to please and be a good boy. Bless his heart."


We're looking for a quieter home for him since he is not a spring chicken, but would do well in any homes. We feel he would do best with retired folks who are home or if not he would appreciate another dog so he is not anxious when home alone.

We've had his veterinary needs met including vaccines, neuter and all that stuff - he tested positive for heartworm but has gotten treatment. As a senior dog, he may need things in the future so need a family/person who understands that.

If you've not ever adopted or had a senior dog, there's nothing quite like it. Please consider giving it a try.

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 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.
