Ruff Ruff! My name is Woo-Woo (LOCAL 4/27)

Please send inquiries to this email address and not the general info email.

FOSTER UPDATE 5/14/13:

"WooWoo is a happy-go-lucky girl who loves everyone and everything. She is great with other dogs, especially those who enjoy play as much as she does. She is being fostered with two kitties and she loves them too! She will chase if they run away but only because she wants to lick and kiss them. Kids? Loves them too! Woowoo is a big kisser and will love on anyone she meets.

She is great in the crate and is doing great with her house training schedule. Woowoo loves her toys- balls, bones, squeakers- everything. She is doing well learning what is a toy and what is not a toy (aka underwear are not toys!).

She is one smart cookie and is continuing to learn her basic commands. She is picking up clicker training fast and would love to continue training with her forever family. She loves a challenge and the interaction that comes along with it.

Like to stay active? Perfect! This gal loves to hike and take long walks. She would make a great running or biking partner.

If you are looking for an overall great dog, Woowoo is the girl for you! Great size, (40 lbs), great personality, and super smart! "

PRIOR BIO:

Meet Woo-Woo, named by her wonderful sponsor, Wilson. Isn't she just the cutest thing???

Woo-Woo was one of ten dogs that were scheduled to be PTS the following day by gassing at a very rural shelter in the south. Someone notified our MO foster mom of this and between her and her fellow rescuers, all the dogs were saved from this horrific act. Six of them are presently in the PAWS dog sanctuary in MO.

Woo-Woo is a 7 month old spaniel/terrier (?) mix that weighs about 35 pounds. Foster mom says she has just the best personality an follows her around everywhere... like her little spotted shadow! She loves to play and will keep you entertained for hours. She gets along well with the other dogs. She is crate trained.

Woo-Woo has now been vetted and spayed and is Heartworm negative.

Please consider having this lovable pup join your family.

Thank you for your interest in a rescue dog. They are just the best!!!

Interested in adopting this fantastic canine? Please visit our website and complete an online application – we respond much quicker to applications than to emails as we receive a voluminous amount of email each day and it’s impossible to respond to all of them in a timely manner even though we try.

Application: http://www.pawsnewengland.com/adoption-form/

An application does not mean you are required to adopt – it just lets us know you are seriously considering this dog for adoption.

QUARANTINE: Paws New England participates and abides by the quarantine rules and regulations set forth in the states of MA, CT, RI. In certain instances, a $50.00 quarantine fee will be applicable.

UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED, ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF RHODE ISLAND BOARDED EITHER PRIVATE FOSTER HOMES OR TRAINING FACILITIES. If a dog is listed as "local", he /she is at one of our foster homes in New England.

We are often asked, "Why would you charge 'so much' for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support ALL rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in discounted vet care, and many people will want to adopt it; an older dog with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt him/her. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others.
