Debo - Rhode Island

Fill out an adoption form

Say hello to Debo, the lovable senior gentleman with a heart that’s still full of puppy joy!

At 11 years old, Debo arrived at a Mississippi shelter after being left behind by his previous family and was never claimed. Even after all he’s been through, he showed nothing but warmth—walking right up to the shelter staff, tail wagging, eager for affection and connection.

Debo is the kind of dog who reminds you why seniors are so special. He has the soul of an old friend, but the spirit of a younger pup. He still loves to run and play, and he absolutely lights up when he’s with people.

He’s house- and crate-trained, walks well on a leash, and has gotten along well with the other dogs. When he’s really happy, he can get a little jumpy—his way of saying, “I’m so excited to love you!”

This sweet boy is searching for a calm, comfy home where his golden years can be filled with comfort, warmth, and companionship. \

If you’re ready to open your heart and let a gentle, joyful senior dog become part of your life, Debo is waiting with open paws.

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.
