Story
Meet Roxanne! She’s a 9-month-old Dutch Shepherd mix and an absolute beauty. She has a striking brindle coat that glows in the sun, big expressive amber eyes, and a sweet little white chest patch that makes her look even more unique - but what really makes her special is her gentle, loving nature. Roxanne is loyal, affectionate, and loves nothing more than being close to her people. She’s a little shadow who happily follows you around and settles in for snuggles any chance she gets. She does great with kids, cats, and other dogs, making her an easy fit in almost any home. This sweet girl is crate trained and picking up on house training quickly. She’s spayed, UTD on vaccinations, and ready to find the loving forever family she deserves.

Story
Look at handsome Hank! This sweet, soulful boy has one simple wish in life — to be loved and to belong.Hank was adopted as a puppy from a shelter, but as he grew into his big, beautiful self, his family decided he was “too big” for their home and returned him. Thankfully, one of our dedicated southern rescuers stepped in before he had to face shelter life again and welcomed him into foster care. Now thriving in a home environment, Hank is showing everyone what an incredible companion he truly is.In his foster home, Hank is a happy, affectionate guy who absolutely adores people. He lights up when the grandkids come over and has shown nothing but playful, gentle behavior with them and his foster’s son. He loves being part of the action and happily soaks up all the attention he can get.Hank also gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys having playmates to romp around with. As for cats, he hasn’t bothered his foster mom’s cat, though she tends to keep her distance — so a slow, proper introduction woth a dog-savvy cat would be best.He is house-trained and does well when let out regularly, though he has had a couple of accidents if his cues are missed. Hank has been crated in the past and tolerates it, though it’s not his favorite place to be. He has done well roaming the house without issue, but continued crate use when left alone — at least until he’s fully settled — would be a smart transition plan.Hank walks decently on leash and would benefit from continued structure and consistency. He can get a little anxious in the car, but when secured with a seatbelt, he relaxes and settles nicely — it seems to give him a sense of security.This high-energy, athletic boy is looking for an active home with a yard where he can stretch his legs and burn off energy. He would make a fantastic running partner and would thrive with a family that enjoys outdoor adventures and includes him in their daily life.Hank has so much love to give and so much life to share. He just needs a family who will see his worth, embrace his size, and promise him forever this time. Let’s find this deserving boy the perfect home he’s been waiting for.Name: Handsome HankBreed: Dutch Shepherd/CrossbreedSex: MaleAge: 2 years  (estimated)Weight: 77 lbsSpayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 5Good with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: SelectiveAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)                       $100-150 additional mandatory quarantine fee for Massachusetts residents.Location of dog currently:    Tennessee  Texas  Arkansas  New England MississippiIMPORTANT 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 veterinary 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.

Our boy has it all intelligence, looks, presence, openness, personality and overall, happiness! Ziggy is about as good of a representation of the breed that you could fine, classic brindle coat, perfect symmetry, great stride, confidence and open friendly demeanor. We have found Ziggy to have a quiet confidence that lets the other dogs know that he is easy going but that he will not tolerate aggressive behavior. This trait makes for a very calm kennel training environment, all 9 shepherds work at the same time in the training fields, all get along fine, mostly due to Ziggy! Our boy simply adores people of all ages, shapes and sizes, he just wants to be in the middle of things.as stated earlier, Ziggy’s, looks are quite striking, deep chest, powerful legs, positive carry and coat that is off the charts good looking. Our boy is 75 pounds, probably could carry 80 pounds with ease. It is hard to explain the feeling you get being around Ziggy, it is like total peace, he adapts, he understands and he lets you know that being in your presence is something that he highly desires and deeply respects. As you might suspect Ziggy handled our socialization and training programs with confidence and capability. It has been an honor to be the trainer for this boy and as you might expect there were times, I was wondering who was doing the training. All Ziggy will need to happy is a loving household, family time, exercise, personal commitment, the rest he will provide to you.

Story
Meet Sara — Your New Best Friend in a Perfectly Trained, 45-Pound Package of Love At just 20 months old, Miss Sara is already proving to be the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog everyone hopes for—smart, affectionate, eager to please, and now… beautifully trained. Originally adopted as a puppy, Sara was very loved—but when her owner sadly fell ill and could no longer care for her, everything changed. She returned to us with a heart full of love, but without the manners every young pup needs. We knew this girl had potential, so off she went to a professional 3-week training program… and wow, is she showing off. &#226&#156&#133 Training? She’s nailing it. &#226&#156&#133 People? She adores them. &#226&#156&#133 Dogs? Instant besties. &#226&#156&#133 Kids? She belly-crawls just to be close to them—it’s beyond precious. We believe she’s a Dutch Shepherd mix, weighing in at about 45 pounds, with a gorgeous, sleek coat and a heart that beats for human connection. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines—and yes, ready to go! Now, she’s just looking for a home that can match her devotion with love and guidance. Toys are her jam, and she’ll happily entertain herself or join you for a game of fetch. No kitties for this girl, please! Chasing them is just too much fun, and she needs a cat-free home to thrive. Sara is the kind of dog who makes you feel like the most important person in the world. Her loyalty is unmatched, her spirit is bright, and her readiness for her forever home couldn’t be clearer. Interested in giving this beautiful girl her happily-ever-after? Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com today. Let Sara show you what love, intelligence, and a second chance can really look like. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.June 11, 2025, 9:36 pm

Zeke is a little over a year old. He is a big baby and loves attention, he is a little standoffish to new people more so men than woman, but warms up pretty quickly. He grew up around my female lab and a cat, I also have young children and he hads always been good with them. Has never shown any signs of aggression. He is a good boy and a great family dog.

Story
Meet Luna! This sweet girl was surrendered to us recently with her housemate Coco. They would be able to go home together or separately. From what the previous owners told us they got along well in their previous home. Her owners took very good care of her and Coco and loved them very much. She knows a lot of commands and is housetrained. This should make her transition into a new home pretty seamless. She is a very sweet, gentle girl who would love to find a soft place to land as soon as possible. She is small for a Shepherd mix and has lived in an apartment previously, so she won't need a lot of space to feel comfortable. Luna would be open to meeting your current dog or your children as well. Come make this lovely girl your new companion today! *If you can see me, I'm still available! We prefer initial adoption steps to be done via email, this way we can answer any time of day. We also prefer an application submitted before scheduling a visit, but it's not required, an email conversation is great! If you don't have access to email, no worries. Please call 401 680 7591. We differ from other shelters by offering a one-on-one experience between you, our staff and the animal or animals you've chosen to become a new family member! Please email pacadoptions@providenceri.gov or adoptions@friendsofpaccc.org *
