Are you looking for a dog who wants to work and learn while you learn right along with him? A project kind of – a really good project.

How about a dog who is an absolute conversation starter because he’s just so gorgeous and only has one eye. Everyone always wants to know all about him. A 3 year old male pit mix, tall, slim, long tailed, one eyed, and brindle. What a package!

Bo is full of energy and eager to please. He has shown that he enjoys training and is a quick learner. To make his next home his last home, Paws NE will continue to cover training sessions for the immediate post-adoptive period; if He needs continued training to help him with self control, and to increase his confidence.

Bo enjoys long leash walks and napping on the couch.

Bo’s main “”issue”” seems to be anxiety – cars going by, people arriving – pacing begins. Once you’re in the house, he’s happy to make your acquaintance. He’s super smart- he needs stimulation – mental work makes him happy and calm. There are so many ways to provide him with this that are not difficult.

Bo’s foster family has done an amazing job getting him into a routine – walking on a leash, working on calm in the home, and being a dog. We want someone who wants to continue this work with him and we will support you in every way possible to make both yours and Bo’s lives as fantastic together as possible..

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Interested in a specific dog, please fill out an application if you are interested in a dog. The number of individual inquiries is overwhelming and we are finding it difficult to respond to each one. We cannot guarantee you will receive a timely response.

Paws New England is a rescue, not a shelter, and as such we do not have our dogs housed in one location – they are in foster homes both in New England and in our southern foster homes. If you’re interested in a specific dog, please complete a short online application and you will receive a reply within 48 hours so you can ask questions.

At present, if a dog is listed on our website, the dog is considered still available HOWEVER, may have applications that have come in before yours but it’s still too early to know if any are a good match; therefore we encourage you to apply.

NOTICE WITH REGARD TO LOCATION OF DOGS: Please note: Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. We do not have a brick and mortar building to house the dogs we rescue. We have found that dogs in foster homes are much more adoptable because they have been observed in a home setting. Dogs listed with Paws New England typically reside in various locations throughout the south (primarily Tennessee, Texas, and Arkansas) and New England (not necessarily in the state of Rhode Island). You will be notified by the adoption coordinator of the location of the dog you are interested in so you have the ability to decide whether to pursue adoption or not.

Dogs transported to New England are done so at a fee of $150.00 paid directly to the transporting company by Paws New England; no additional transport costs are responsibility of adopter. This fee is included in the adoption donation.

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 dog will help others in need.

All known information about the animal is listed above. We do our best to give accurate information, but most of our dogs are rescues and do not come with a known history.

Paws New England abides by the dog importation regulations set forth in the states of MA, CT, NH and RI.
