We have recently discovered that Connie is not "dog aggressive", but "dog-picky." She gets along famously with her foster Mom's dog, but does not like the dog that lives upstairs. Her ideal new home with have her as the only dog or have another dog who is very submissive.

Aside from that- Connie is an extraordinary dog with the most amazing personality. Her foster Mom is desperately in love with her. Connie follows her everywhere around the house and is happy to do anything or go anywhere so long as it involves getting to hang out. She may be the friendliest people dog you will ever meet. Walks with Connie take forever because she has to greet each and every person with a kiss!

Connie is housetrained and is doing great in the house ;) Her current foster Mom struggled for a little while, because she simply could not keep Connie confined in the crate. Here is what she had to say (it made us laugh out loud!):

"Connie is much better on her own, which is good because I cannot keep her in a crate. I've had dogs that could get out of a crate before..but she baffles me. I have reinforced every side of the crate and she still gets out! (she knows when you are watching too)...So Connie stays out of the crate. She mostly is well behaved unsupervised..I KNOW she sleeps on my bed, but she's never there when I get home...and occasionally she chew something, most recently she got a hold of a book (she really likes shredding paper, which for obvious reasons I do not provide) and I came home to find hundreds of pages all over the floor. There were even some pages in Obies crate, so at least she shares."
Oh, Connie! She loves to play with her toys and lay on her comfy bed. More than anything, she loves to be pet and snuggled. If you want a great companion who will love you endlessly, then Connie is your girl!

Adoption donation: $300



If you have any questions please email this dog's adoption coordinator: kesalerno@gmail.com



If you are interested in adopting or would like more information about PAWS New England, please check our website:

The adoption donation covers all pre-adoption vet costs (vaccinations, spaying/neutering, HW test/treatment, etc.) and includes their transportation up to New England. PAWS New England is not shelter but a rescue and thus is not funded by any city or state organization - we rely solely on the donations of our adopters to help defray the costs associated with saving these precious lives. Unless otherwise stated, all of our dogs are located in Tennessee at our vet clinic's boarding facility or in foster care. If a dog is "local", that means he or she is at one of our foster homes in New England.



We know you are wondering, "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 one 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 it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption fees. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible.



ALL KNOWN INFORMATION IS LISTED HERE. We do our best to give accurate information, but most of our dogs are rescues and don't come with a known history.
