7/1/09 UPDATE FROM CASEY'S FOSTER MOM: Casey is MR. SOCIAL BUTTERFLY, as he loves other dogs and will play with them all day. Casey is a great eater and he also loves children. He sleeps in his crate at night and is very good in his crate -- he knows how to "kennel up" and will do so with no fuss. Casey would love to have an active family that will take him for walks or jobs on the beach or near the water!!!

Casey came from a high-kill shelter. He is now in a foster home with numerous other dogs of all breeds and sizes. He can climb a chainlink fence but will stay inside a wooden fence just fine. He is very sweet, friendly and affectionate with people and dogs; loves playing with his pen-mates at his foster home! He has no bad habits at all.

The adoption donation covers all pre-adoption vet costs (vaccinations, spaying/neutering (when age appropriate), heartworm testing/treatment when necessary and includes transportation up to New England ($125.00 per dog). Unless otherwise stated, all of our dogs are located outside of Rhode Island boarded either at one of our vet clinics or in foster care. If a dog is listed as "local, he /she is at one of our foster homes in New England.



PAWS of 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.



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 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 do not come with a known history.
