Because she has Blue Heeler in her breed mix, Lucy-Mae is a very busy and energetic girl -- she loves to be outside when she can and she LOVES to run and play! She is housebroken and has been raised around cats -- she'll chase them in an attempt to get them to play with her but she has never harmed one. She loves to fetch the tennis ball and loves to catch the frisbee in the air (in fact, she loves to do anything that allows her to run at full speed). She is great with bigger children (just because she's hyper and might unintentionally knock over a baby or toddler in her exuberance for life) and lives with other dogs. She's great with the other dogs and she walks well on a leash. She's current on vaccines, spayed and has successfully completed heartworm treatment and takes monthly heartworm prevention pills. Lucy-Mae would LOVE to be the fur-child in an active family and would make a great running partner!

Adoption donation: $400

If you have any questions please email this dog's adoption coordinator: fmsayles@tds.net

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 ($125 per dog). 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.
