Story
Meet Basil!Sweet baby Basil is just a pup at only ten months old. She's a sensitive gal which is understandable because coming to the shelter from a home can be a big, confusing transition and it can be overwhelming. Basil is a boxer/American bulldog mix and weighs about 60lbs.While it takes a minute or two to win her over, she immediately becomes a big goofy blockhead with all of the zoomies! She's genuinely just a big baby that needs all of the coddling, all of the reassurance, and all of the snuggles. She's a bouncy bean that is a big hammy ham for attention. She loves her walkies and loves rope/tug toys but can and will turn the rope toy into a dangerous weapon when she starts swinging it around like a medieval mace. She'll take you at the knees/ankles if you're not careful. Anyone remember the Skip-It and how it would smash your ankle bones? Yeah, like that.Basil is fantastic with other dogs and lights up like a Christmas tree when she sees them, especially big goofy male dogs. (She seems to have a type.) She's all play bows and zoomies trying to get them to chase her. She's afraid of cats because big dogs afraid of cats seems to be trending here lately. We are looking for an adult-only home (or teenagers and adults). Since she's a "restricted breed", you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application. Once complete, you can email it to us at fpas1@foreverpaws.com or fax it to us at 508-677-9175.

Story
Shenzi is a loving, people-focused pup who thrives on connection and engagement. She’s incredibly affectionate and happiest when she’s near her humans, following along with curiosity and charm. If you’re talking, Shenzi is listening—often with her ears flipped over, intently watching whoever has the floor.She is treat-motivated and eager to learn, already knowing “come” and recently mastering “sit.” Shenzi is crate trained and does well sleeping in her crate at night and spending time there while her foster family is at work. She’s still working on house training but continues to make steady progress.Shenzi gets along wonderfully with others. She lives peacefully with senior dogs, played well with a 6-year-old dog, and did amazingly with young children, including toddlers and a 6-year-old. She also did very well with the household cat, showing excellent manners.Playful and endearing, Shenzi loves chewing on bones, occasionally chases her tail for fun, and has a sweet habit of tucking her head under anything she’s cuddling with. She’s often on the move, which makes her a bit tricky to photograph, but it’s only because she’s so full of life.Shenzi would do best with a family ready to offer affection, consistency, and continued positive training.Before You Apply – Please Read:Puppies require time and patience.✔ They can’t be left alone all day — 4 hours max until they’re at least 6 months old.✔ Kids should be ready for a real, wiggly, sometimes-nippy baby who needs gentle handling and structure.If you’re ready for all that puppy life brings, these cuties are waiting!Breed: Boxer/Pit Bull TerrierAge: 4.5 monthsWeight: ~30lbsSpayed/Neutered: Too young — spay/neuter contract required and strictly enforcedVaccinations: All puppy vaccines completed, including rabiesHeartworm: Too young for testing (done at 6 months)Housetrained: Not usually at this ageMicrochipped: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: Yes Adoption Fee: $500Location of dog currently: New England 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.

Story
Meet Our Mississippi 8!Eight beautiful Boxer/Pit Bull Terrier mix puppies are headed our way from Hernando, Mississippi — and trust us, they’re absolute gems. These babies have been in the local shelter since they were tiny, yet somehow had zero interest. Locals must be missing out, because these pups are stunning.At 4 months old, they’ve already completed all their puppy vaccines, including rabies. The only thing left (once they reach 6 months) is their spay/neuter — and we’ll even help with that cost.These pups come with classic puppy energy: curious, playful, occasionally mouthy, and ready to learn. Training should start right away to set them up for success, support socialization, and build a strong bond with their new person.They arrive in New England on 11/22 and will be placed in various foster homes throughout the region. If you’re able to choose just one (somehow!), get that application in quickly — they won’t last long.Before You Apply – Please Read:Puppies require time and patience.✔ They can’t be left alone all day — 4 hours max until they’re at least 6 months old.✔ Kids should be ready for a real, wiggly, sometimes-nippy baby who needs gentle handling and structure.If you’re ready for all that puppy life brings, these cuties are waiting!Breed: Boxer/Pit Bull TerrierAge: 19 weeks as of 12/11Weight: Average weight is 30 lbs as of 12/11Spayed/Neutered: Too young — spay/neuter contract required and strictly enforcedVaccinations: All puppy vaccines completed, including rabiesHeartworm: Too young for testing (done at 6 months)Housetrained: Not usually at this ageMicrochipped: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: Yes - as puppies should be able to help them interact peacefully with cats.Adoption Fee: $500Location of dog currently:   New England 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.

Story
Rin is a petite brindle beauty, about two years old, with a massive zest for life packed into her small pittie frame. She’s sweet, playful, and fast on her feet—especially when there’s a tennis ball involved! Fetch is her absolute favorite game, and she’ll happily chase after the ball as long as you throw it.This high-energy girl is still very puppyish in her behavior, despite paperwork suggesting she’s closer to 2. Luckily, she settles well in her crate after playtime and loves nothing more than being close to her people. Rin’s love language is touch—she wants to climb into your lap, wrap herself around you, and soak up every ounce of affection.Rin is incredibly social with humans and wants to meet every person she sees. With other dogs, however, she’s still learning her manners. She can be a bit too pushy and insistent, which has led to some altercations with tolerant males she’s been introduced to. With training, structure, and patience, Rin has excellent potential to mature into a more respectful playmate. For now, she may do best as your one-and-only pup while she learns.She is spending two weeks at Gagnon's Pet Resort where she'll learn more about how to be the best dog she can be!!This gal is very smart and she already knows several basic commands. Check these out in this video:https://youtube.com/shorts/mnnSy7AHaEoIf you’re looking for a fun, loving, athletic companion who will make you laugh and keep you moving, Rin is your girl!Name: RinBreed: Boxer/CrossbreedSex: FemaleAge: 2 years  (estimated)Weight: 47.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Positive on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Loves all people she meets, not specifically tested with childrenGood with Dogs: Yes, but needs to learn social cues - she's an "in your face" puppy.Good with Cats: UnknownAdoption Fee: $550.00 Location of dog currently: Connecticut  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.

Meet Sarabi – One of Our Mississippi 8!Sarabi is one of eight stunning Boxer/Pit Bull Terrier puppies who traveled from Mississippi and is now stealing hearts in New England. Sarabi is the perfect blend of sweet and smart. She has classic puppy energy: curious, playful, occasionally mouthy, and eager to learn. She already knows “sit” and “leave it,” and she loves a challenge — she’s mastered three treat puzzles so far! Continued training and socialization will help her grow into a confident, well-mannered adult while strengthening the bond with her future family.Since arriving in New England on 11/22, Sarabi has been thriving in her foster home. She adores cuddling with her humans and enthusiastically plays with her older foster dog brother (even when he needs a little convincing). She is also currently living with a cat and has formed a calm, respectful relationship — complete with friendly nose bumpsbefore going their separate ways.Sarabi would do best in a home ready to embrace puppy life, continue her training, and provide plenty of love, structure, and enrichment. She would be a wonderful addition to a family committed to helping her reach her full potential.Watch Sarabi in action:https://youtube.com/shorts/A_WNNSGm0_4?feature=sharedBefore You Apply – Please Read:--Puppies require time, patience, and commitment.--Puppies should not be left alone for more than 4 hours at a time until they are at least 6months old--Children should be prepared for a wiggly, sometimes nippy baby who needs gentlehandling and structureIf you’re ready for everything puppy life brings, Sarabi is ready to meet you!Breed: Boxer / Pit Bull TerrierAge: 17 weeks as of 11/29Weight: Approx. 25 lbs as of 11/10Spayed/Neutered: Too young — spay contract required and strictly enforcedVaccinations: All puppy vaccines completed, including rabiesHeartworm: Too young for testing (will be tested at 6 months)House-trained: In progress and improving dailyMicrochipped: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $500Current Location: New EnglandIMPORTANT 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.
