Story
*Name: Fred (Flintstone Litter) *Age: 1.5 years old *Current Weight: 27 pounds *Rescued from: Texas (currently located with foster in Texas, transport will be scheduled once adopted.) *Adoption fee: $475 They don't come any cuter than this! At just 27 pounds, Fred is a short legged bundle of sweetness, smartness, and affection. He is incredibly friendly and loves to meet new people and dogs of all sizes. Fred is a cuddle bug and a wiggle butt - he loves nothing more than snuggling up to his favorite humans and wagging his tail with excitement. A perfect companion, our Fred is a pleasure to work with, walk with, and watch TV with. His behavior in the house is impeccable. Fred has been in a loving foster home with other dogs and kids, and interacts wonderfully with all. Fred would do best in a home with another playful dog to romp around with. He loves the small children in his foster home and is gentle and calm with them. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will bring joy and love into your life, Fred is the pup for you!  To apply to adopt, fill out an application at https://snarrnortheast.org/adopt/ FAQs -- PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE EMAILING All adoption fees are non-refundable If paying by credit card, Venmo, or PayPal there is a set processing fee, generally this fee is under $15 per pet. These processing fees are determined by the form of payment adopters decide to use. By helping with this minimal cost this allows us to save more animals. Please note that SNARR NE is a volunteer-based organization. While our volunteers will try to respond to you as quickly as possible, it is helpful if you review the below information about our adoption process before emailing: LISTED BREED(S) & AGE: We are taking our best guess on age, breed, and size when fully grown, based on the puppy's/dog's physical appearance and what we might have learned about one or both parents depending on the situation. *NOTE* We rarely know a dog's exact age, nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. Because we often do not have access to medical records at the time that we are listing for dogs for adoption, there are sometimes discrepancies between what is posted on their profile and what might be listed on a dog's medical records. SNARR'S ADOPTION PROCESS: The first step in adopting or meeting a SNARR dog/puppy is to fill out an application at https://snarrnortheast.org/adopt/. Once we receive your application, one of our adoption application processors will contact you, review our adoption process with you, and answer any additional questions you may have. **We do not go on a first-come-first-serve basis for adoptions, but on best fit for a family and most importantly the puppy or dog. ** MEETING ADOPTABLE DOGS: Meet and greets will not be scheduled until after your adoption application has been fully processed and approved by one of our adoption processors. APPLYING ONLINE: If you fill out an online application, please do so from a computer (not a mobile device), make sure you answer ALL the questions in as much detail as possible, and that you receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive a confirmation email, that means we did NOT receive your application. ##1624964##

Story
&#226&#151&#143 Energy level: low (on crate rest) &#226&#151&#143 Potty trained: needs assistance &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard needed: no &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls ok: no &#226&#151&#143 People: all &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: friendly with small dogs &#226&#151&#143 Other: special needs with mobility and bladder expression   Overview Meet Printz, a sweet 6 year and 4 months old red smooth coat dachshund who's looking for a special family to cherish him. At 17.2 pounds, this loving boy proves that good things come in medium packages! Despite facing some mobility challenges, Printz maintains a wonderfully positive attitude and has a heart full of love to share.   Environment Printz is seeking a patient and nurturing home where someone can be present most of the time, as he gets a bit anxious when left alone. While he's currently on crate rest due to a back injury and needs help with mobility, he still enjoys the simple pleasures in life. He does well walking with assistance using a sling and is perfectly content in homes without a yard. He's well-behaved in his crate when his family needs to step out, but he can be vocal so shared walls are probably not a good idea. His reasonable energy needs and gentle nature make him an excellent companion.   Pets & People Printz is a very loving dog who thrives on human connection and wants nothing more than to be near his person. While initially shy, he quickly warms up to show his affectionate personality. He's a social butterfly with other small dogs and does very well in multi-dog households, but is untested with children or cats. He can be vocal around larger dogs, but this is likely due to his size and mobility situation. He's gentle when taking treats and very food-motivated, which makes him easy to bond with.    Health Printz has some special medical needs that require a dedicated family. He currently needs assistance with bladder and bowel expression due to his back injury. He can take trazodone as needed to help manage any discomfort or anxiety. His mobility requires some extra support, and he uses a sling to help him walk comfortably. These needs are manageable with the right care routine, and his sweet personality makes it all worthwhile.   Location Printz is available for adoption from Gastonia, NC. Due to his special needs, he would prefer a home within a reasonable driving distance, as he can find long car rides challenging. Please email autenlinda@yahoo.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee is $375.00  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 3, 2025, 6:52 pm

Story
Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.   &#226&#151&#143 Potty training: trained &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: bonded with sister Lady Ava and they will need to be the only dogs in the home &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard: preferred but not required &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls: suitable &#226&#151&#143 People: all (not tested with kids)   Overview Meet Asa, a sweet and devoted 12-year-old pup weighing 16 lbs with a handsome tan coat. He came to Little Paws with his sister Ava when their previous owner could no longer care for them, and now they're looking for their perfect retirement home together.   Environment Like his sister, Asa enjoys moderate activity and does well on walks. While a yard would be nice, it's not essential. He can live in shared spaces but potential neighbors should know he is very enthusiastic about mealtimes and treats, and he's working on his "indoor voice" when excited about dinner. He's typically quiet throughout most of the day, though.    Asa is housetrained but he does best with a consistent schedule to prevent stress-related accidents. He isn't a fan of being picked up, which can be challenging for car rides or stairs. His ideal home would be mindful of this and be patient with his preferences. Asa and Ava share a crate at night, which shows how bonded they are. Like his sister, Asa's more relaxed in the mornings and early afternoons, getting a bit more active in the evenings. Asa can become more vocal and restless in the evenings and is currently taking supplements to support this.   Pets & People Asa is the ultimate devoted brother - wherever his sister Ava goes, he's right behind her! While initially shy with new people, he takes his cues from Ava and warms up beautifully once he sees she is comfortable. He hasn't been tested with children yet. When it comes to other dogs on walks, he's generally easygoing, though he might join in if his sister starts barking. During more anxious moments, he finds comfort in long-lasting treats, puzzle toys, and of course, his sister's presence.    Location Asa and his sister Ava are available for adoption from Salem, MA. Their combined adoption fee is $500. Asa settles well in the car once situated in his bed so some travel is ok.

Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.   &#226&#151&#143 Potty training: trained &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: bonded with brother Asa and they will need to be the only dogs in the house &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard: preferred but not required &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls: suitable &#226&#151&#143 People: all (not tested with kids) Overview Meet Lady Ava, or "Ava" for short. She is a sweet and incredibly affectionate pup weighing 14 lbs with a lovely tan coat. She came to Little Paws when her previous owner could no longer care for her and her brother, and now they are looking for a loving lap to call their own. “ She’s a sweet senior who will melt your heart with her affectionate nature”   Environment Ava enjoys a moderate activity level with short walks and playtime. While she'd appreciate a yard, it's not essential for her happiness as she’s great on the leash. She's well-mannered in apartments or shared living spaces, being fairly quiet and respectful of her surroundings. She's quite content being left alone, making her a great companion for those with regular schedules.   Pets & People Ava is a true people person! She absolutely adores humans and will press her whole body into you for pets and attention. She's never met a stranger she didn't like and is incredibly gentle when taking treats. While she hasn't been tested with children yet, she's shown nothing but sweetness with all the people she's met. However, Ava would do best with her brother and her as the only dog in the home, as she can be nervous around larger dogs during walks and did not like sharing the attention with a third dog in the house.   Quirks & Personality This affectionate girl is the ultimate cuddle bug – she'll happily spend all day in your lap if you let her! She's quite submissive and frequently asks for belly rubs, which makes her utterly endearing. Ava is a gentle soul at mealtime, taking treats politely and enjoying her food at a leisurely pace. She tends to be more relaxed during mornings and early afternoons, with a bit more energy in the evenings. While she can be slightly nervous at times, human companionship helps her feel secure. She handles car rides well, settling down in her bed without fuss.   Location Ava is available for adoption from Salem, MA and the combined adoption fee for Ava and Asa is $500.

Story
Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.   &#226&#151&#143 Must be adopted with his littermate, Tiny  Tiny and Little Jay are 6yo littermates who came into rescue when their owner died. These two boys are beyond bonded and must be adopted together. Their foster mother says: "They are so sweet and lovable." Tiny and Little Jay warm up very quickly to adults and would be ok with older, respectful children.   Environment: Tiny and Little Jay are velcro dogs and want their human at home at all times - think "work from home" or retired. They love to romp around in the yard. If you do have a fence, it needs to be over 4-feet tall as these little stumpy legs have a lot of bounce!      Pets & People:    Sweet and gentle by nature, both Tiny and Little Jay like people in general, even though they may be timid at first. They are good with other dogs and would love to sleep in the big bed if allowed. Tiny and Little Jay will be your shadow! Location:    Tiny and Little Jay are currently being fostered in West Haven, Connecticut. They can travel a reasonable distance to their forever home. Please email fosternorth@littlepawsdr.org  for any questions, or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for both Tiny and Little Jay is $750.00.
