Story
Meet Sheesh, a one-year-old pup whose unique personality perplexed her foster mom until she received the breed results — border collie and Labrador retriever!  Sheesh’s hobbies are all lab. She loves playing fetch and brings the ball back consistently.  Sheesh also loves water and will go towards any source of water, whether it’s coming from a sprinkler in the neighborhood or running in a creek. She loves being outside in the rain and isn’t afraid of getting all wet. She’s so calm and easy during baths that her foster mom still bathes her in the kitchen sink even though she’s much too big for it now at 45 lbs full grown.  The border collie in Sheesh is also very apparent in how intelligent and obedient she is. Sheesh follows instructions without the need for a treat. She’ll come when you call her name and go to her crate when told to. She’s very smart and learns new skills quickly. She also has some herding tendencies and can get very focused on things like a squirrel in the yard. She’s of course energetic, but does take plenty of naps throughout the day.  Sheesh will do best in an active home with owners who want to take her on long morning walks. Sheesh loves her walks, but she can get a little too excited by other excitable dogs she encounters. She will need someone willing to work with her on this, possibly with a trainer’s help. Sheesh is very redirectable and responsive if the person walking her knows what to do.  Sheesh has been in her foster home since July 2024 and is fully potty trained, crate trained and has zero separation anxiety. She’s super friendly, happy and loving, and is friends with all the dogs in her foster home. There’s not a mean bone in her body. She even shows remarkable patience with small puppies, letting them climb all over her and chew on her beautiful, fluffy tail. Although she’s not perfect, Sheesh is a special young dog who will bring great joy to her forever family.”

Story
Juno is a sweet and spirited Border Collie/Shepherd mix who was found wandering in midtown Memphis. Since then, she’s been winning hearts with her personality and playfulness.This high-energy girl loves to romp and play with dogs of all sizes. While she may bark when meeting new pups—especially while on a leash—it’s all noise; there’s no aggression in this friendly girl. She’s even done well around young children, including a 4-year-old.Juno is both house-trained and crate-trained, and she’s a great passenger in the car. She’s still working on her leash manners—she can be a bit barky and tends to pull—but her foster is helping her improve every day.True to her herding roots, Juno can be a little mouthy when excited and has strong herding instincts, so she’d thrive in a home that understands and appreciates her breed traits.She would do best in a home with space to stretch her legs—ideally with a fenced yard—and she’d love to have another dog as a companion.If you’re looking for an affectionate, loyal, and energetic companion, Juno is your girl!

Story
Ruby recently came into rescue and has been nothing short of a gentle, resilient soul. After a tough pregnancy and an emergency C-section, Ruby has shown incredible strength and grace. While her journey started with challenges, Ruby decided she was ready for a fresh start—and she’s been thriving ever since.From the moment she arrived at her foster home, Ruby fit right in. She’s bonded beautifully with the resident dog pack and brings a calm, comforting energy to the home. With her quiet presence and loving spirit, she’s the kind of dog who simply wants to be near her people and feel safe.Ruby is truly chill at heart. She enjoys soft pets, easygoing walks, and finding the perfect spot to stretch out and relax. While she’s still recovering physically, she’s shown sweet glimpses of playfulness with her foster fur siblings and handles the everyday rhythm of a home with ease.Look at her chilling out with chew bones along side her Foster siblings:https://youtube.com/shorts/UgRWnS6kFyY?si=YmzEwsiOQJrnGYyFShe is also just fine with the three cats that are in her foster home! Check it out:https://youtube.com/shorts/QCeIUXFoRqA?si=zo7AQbhaSS0kJIpNShe’s great with kids and does well when left alone, too. Ruby doesn’t require much—just a soft place to land, a peaceful environment, and someone to love..Ruby is a special girl who’s ready for her next chapter. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion with a heart full of quiet love, Ruby just might be the one.Name: Ruby Breed: Border Collie/ShepherdSex: FemaleAge: 2 years  (estimated)Weight: 57lbsSpayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Yes!Good with Dogs: Yes!Good with Cats: Yes!Adoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:   Tennessee  IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.  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.

Sage & Willow are currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home! Sage & Willow are a beautiful pair of 6-year-old Border Collie sisters who have been together since birth. After losing their owner, they are looking for a loving home where they can stay together forever. These well-mannered girls are house-trained, enjoy going for daily walks, and would love a fenced-in yard to chase squirrels. They have a strong prey drive, so no cats for these two! They love cuddles, pets, and affection. Sage & Willow would do well in a home with kids 10+ and are ready to bring double the love and companionship to their new family. If you are interested in adopting this dog please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter.

Story
Hello. Our names are Nadia (F), Kinsey (F), Nathan (M), and Skeeter (F). Our rescuer was told our mom was a Belgian Malinois and dad was a Border Collie. We were born on July 8, 2023. We were turned over to the rescue lady when we were babies. There were eight of us. Not long after arriving, we started to get sick. We four were and are the healthiest. When we were out playing in the yard, she often asked us where the babies went, who was sweet and shy. Who switched them out of your energizer bunnies, then laughed as we ran around like crazy kids? We are brilliant, treat motivated (easy to train), sulk when scolded, crate trained, shy at first but warm up quickly, not house or leash trained (quick learners), like cats, submissive to other dogs, and have never been around children. Our foster mom has commented how wonderful we would be on an agility course.  I want to go hiking, go to the beach, run around on snow deeper than I am tall, curl up with you in front of the fireplace, and watch a movie. I have only heard my foster mom talking about most of this stuff. If you have patience and teach me, I will love doing whatever you do. Please request an application to begin the adoption process at alittlelonger2home@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Dozer – Our Very Own Off-Brand Cattle Dog If we ran a DNA test on this guy, it’d probably come back 50% cattle dog, 25% generalized anxiety, and 25% nerd. Dozer is a quirky, lovable 7-year-old who's ready to trade in the noise of the city for a quiet, low-key home with room to breathe. Despite his age, he still gets a kick out of chasing birds and anything with two wheels. He may not be your typical herding dog, but his loyalty and offbeat charm more than make up for it. If you're looking for a steadfast companion who prefers dirt roads to sidewalks and a little peace over the hustle, Dozer might just be your perfect match. **if you are interested in Dozer, please complete an adopters profile at parl.org and come in during our open hours**
