Story
Meet Marshmallow!Marshmallow is still very new to us and we're still very new to Marshmallow. She's a young girl, around two years old, 45lbs, and she's been done the tragic disservice of just...not being allowed to experience the world. That means that everything is absolutely TERRIFYING for Marshmallow right now.Your first instinct is going to be to coddle her. You absolutely CANNOT coddle her because she will fully take advantage of it and then she'll never get over her fears of...everything. We don't know much about her yet. We do know she's had at least one litter. We know that she lived with other dogs. We know that there's an absolute sweetheart underneath all of that fear and marshmallow fluff. Despite how genuinely terrified of everything she is (the wind, a single glove, etc), she hasn't shown any aggression or reactivity. She absolutely thrives outside, loves the snow, and loves big open spaces like our agility course. We're hoping that she'll come out of her shell as we work more with her and she gets comfortable with us so our requirements for her may change but right now we're looking for an adult only home with breed experience. 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
Meet Benny, A Loyal, Loving Companion! He is a handsome 2-year-old black German Shepherd with a heart as big as his paws! Found in South Memphis, Benny spent a few months with kind people who fed him and got to know his sweet, loyal nature. He once roamed the streets with two other dogs who were like his pack, always looking out for each other! That loyalty shines through in every part of his personality. Benny is a little shy at first when meeting new people, but once he warms up, he’s a devoted companion who thrives on love and attention. This stunning boy is calm and well-mannered—he’s not a barker and loves affection, hugs, and pets. He’s completely house trained, crate trained, and enjoys lounging on the couch or floor when it’s cuddle time. He walks beautifully on a leash, rides in the car without issue, and is always ready for an adventure with his favorite humans.He is also easily trainable, already knows some basic commands.Active and playful, Benny adores larger dogs and would make a fantastic jogging or hiking partner. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and well-rounded German Shepherd who will give you endless love and companionship, Benny is your boy!Name: BennyBreed: German Shepherd MixSex: MaleAge: 2 years  (estimated)Weight: 73.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: UnknownGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: UnknownAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:    Texas 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
Some heroes wear capes, some grow wings after they heal. Meet Dragon Fly, a gentle soul with a survivor’s heart. Dragon Fly was found on the streets with a broken leg, she was searching for food, safety, and a little kindness. Life didn’t start gently for her, and because of that she’s shy at first and slow to trust. But give her patience and a soft voice, and you’ll unlock the best secret ever. Once Dragon Fly chooses you, she is all in. Hugs, pats, quiet loyalty, and a shadow that follows you from room to room like it’s her favorite job. She’s truly the perfect little lady, polite, calm, and thoughtful. But don’t be fooled by her dainty manners. Once she feels safe, Dragon Fly blossoms into your go-to gal for everything from peaceful hikes to championship-level couch lounging. Her previously broken leg never dimmed her spirit, and now that she’s fully healed, she runs like a champ and enjoys playtime in a fenced yard. Dragon Fly lives harmoniously with six dogs and has shown zero aggression. She tends to respectfully ignore the bigger dogs and saves her playful energy for her bestie. She would love a doggy companion, especially one around her size, but she’d also be perfectly content as your one and only. Since moving to her new foster in New England we have noticed she LOVES to be with her people and she needs a home with another playful dog (this is a must) to show her the way and make her comfortable. She is only about 28 pounds and a bit underweight but with the proper meals she been getting we feel she will be a bit heavier soon.Name: Dragon Fly (Princess)Breed: German Shepherd DogSex: FemaleAge: 1 year 11 months 1/1/26  Weight: 26lb as of 1/1/26Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS: Good with Children: Older over age 7Good with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: UnknownAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:    New England 1/10IMPORTANT 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.
