Story
Don't look now, but we have another LOW RIDER!! And this little guy is about as cute as they come.Baby Skipper is a 14–15-week-old short-legged little nugget who was recently sprung from the Memphis Animal Shelter. We believe he may be a low-rider mix, but whatever he is, he's 100% adorable.Skipper has received his vaccinations and deworming and is now settling into one of our awesome foster homes, where he's getting the full puppy experience with kids, dogs, and cats. He's still acclimating to everything, but so far, so good.He's doing pretty well in his crate. He may give you a few little huffs and puffs when he goes in, but then settles down and goes to sleep. Kids? He LOVES them — although he's currently in full-blown puppy mode, which means those little teeth are everywhere and ankles are apparently very exciting. Older kids who understand puppies would be a good fit.And because Skipper is, well, a puppy, his new family needs to be ready for all that comes with one: house training, crate training, leash walking, basic obedience, lots of appropriate chewing, continued socialization and plenty of patience. He'll need supervision, routine, exercise, and lots of opportunities to learn how to be a very good dog. Puppies don't come pre-programmed!Skipper is healthy and will return to one of our Memphis veterinarians for his second vaccine in mid-September. Once he's ready, he'll head north to New England.He's not neutered yet because he's too young. He has also been noted to have an undescended testicle, which will require abdominal surgery when he's approximately 6–8 months old. Paws New England will cover this surgery at one of our partner veterinarians at no cost to his adopter.If this little low rider looks like someone you could fall completely in love with, don't wait too long to apply. These short-legged guys tend to disappear pretty quickly — and honestly, we're not surprised. Just look at that face!All known information about the animal is listed above.

Before applying, please make sure you're ready for the time, patience, and training they require.>Puppies should not be crated for more than 3–4 hours at a time.>Your home will need to be puppy-proofed.>Expect chewing, nipping, scratching, accidents, and lots of supervision while they learn.>If you have young children, be sure they're prepared for normal puppy behavior.>Training, socialization, exercise, and consistency are essential.  Unless you're an experienced dog owner and your Adoption Coordinator is comfortable with your experience, you will be required to attend puppy training and/or behavior classes. Our goal is to help you and your puppy build a happy, successful, lifelong relationship.Important InformationPaws New England is a foster-based rescue.

Story
DOB 12-7-2024 Wolfie is a gorgeous Red and White Long Hair! This beautiful boy loves everyone, likes to play with toys and his friends. He is neutered, heartworm negative and has received a Proheart6 preventative injection, up to date on shots and is now looking for a loving home. His adoption fee is 900.00 and his transport fee is 135.00. HEARTS is our transport, they run every 2 weeks. It's the best transport and the only one we will use. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

Story
FENCED YARD REQUIRED Adoption Donation   $ 399   Located:  RI (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details ) Age: 10 mos. old      Meet Leo!   Leo is a 10-month-old Dachshund/Hound mix with the cutest little face and the biggest personality! This silly boy is full of energy, curiosity, and love — basically a furry toddler who keeps life exciting.  Leo would   love   a fenced-in yard where he can zoom around and explore, and he’d be thrilled to have another playful dog (or a few!) to wrestle and romp with. He’s all about fun, cuddles, and a little bit of mischief — you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on your shoes, because this charming “devil child” likes to test his limits in the most adorable way.  No condo or apartment living for this boy as he is very vocal.  Leo is working with a trainer on stranger danger. He becomes vocal and will retreat.  The trainer feels he is best suited for an older, energetic retired or work from home couple.     With his goofy grin and happy heart, Leo will bring laughter and love to any family lucky enough to call him theirs.     *** As part of the adoption donation this pup will participate in FOA's spay/neuter program or other programs available through FOHA. All puppies will have age appropriate vaccinations.  All small Pups need to be adopted by by children old enough to understand how to be respectful and gentle in handling a small young pup. ***     If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website   www.fohari.org and email my foster parent for more information: save4pawz@gmail.com Please verify the location and readiness of this dog with us.  Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption.       Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/  Our Adoption Process:   Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in. ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a  shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent  or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.  From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit.  If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent.
