Story
Meet Rover...a big, happy, friendly, affectionate, playful 5 year old, 102 pound, 94.8% German Shepherd who is up for adoption.When rescued last August, he weighed only 66 pounds, very emaciated in his backyard. A foster stepped up and provided him a safe place to complete all the care all he needed. They gave him so much love he is now 102 pounds and a very happy boy. Now healthy and happy, he is so very playful and energetic. He even acts younger than his age, and he thinks he is a lap dog!!! He went through HW treatment with no issues and did very well when he had to be on restrictive play time. He does love to play but he also knows when he has had enough and will find a comfy spot to nap.Rover just loves people; he is a little ham who loves to go to the pet store and meet all the pet owners. Due to his size, and that he has never lived with a child, we feel he would be best with children over 7, after all, he loves laps!!He is great with dogs, he shares his foster with other dogs. He spotted the neighbor cat and started to chase, so he needs a home without a feline. He is great in the car and loves rides. He is still working on his leash skills but has come a long way.Rover is already for a new family who can continue to show him love. He is house trained and crate trained, he will go in his crate just to nap. He will need continued leash training, he is 5 and has never had anything around his neck besides a heavy chain, so now he is learning what leashes are all about. He has make progress just needs you to continue helping him understand.He was a little nervous in a car at first, but is now better; laying down quickly once inside.Rover is truly a gentle giant who is so lovable and handsome. And those ears!!!!Can you give this great guy a home?Check out videos of this boy in action:https://youtube.com/shorts/lpIc1yGz3Rghttps://youtube.com/shorts/MLVK4fQHlmUhttps://youtube.com/shorts/AInZ-vHn7rIhttps://youtube.com/shorts/EGJPGBhzIX0?si=6MtevKlTh_XITKH5Name: RoverBreed: German Shepherd DogSex: MaleAge: 5 yrs 9 months as of 4/21/25Weight: 102 lbs as of 4/21/25Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Positive on recent testing.  Has completed entire treatment!Microchipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 8Good with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: NoAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:    Tennessee 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 Faline, a beautiful 12-year-old female German Shepherd mix with a heart full of life and a playful spirit that defies her age. At five years old, she was rescued from a high-kill shelter by a loving family who gave her a warm, safe home. She lived peacefully alongside another female dog, a cat, and shared a special bond with a teenage girl who was her closest human companion. Sadly, when her family had to relocate, they couldn’t bring their pets along—leaving Faline in need of a new forever homeNow in search of her next chapter, Faline brings with her the wisdom of experience and the warmth of a deeply loyal companion. She carries herself with both grace and strength. Despite her senior status, she’s still very much in her prime when it comes to playtime—especially with younger dogs. She’s been known to hold her own in rough-and-tumble games with pups less than two years old, showing that age is just a number. This girl is also always up for a daily walk and would love a home that offers both activity and companionship. She also does great in the car. While she’d thrive in a household with other pets—especially a younger dog who will invite her to play—she would also do wonderfully as an only pet in a home where she’s the center of attention. Faline does have a reserved side when it comes to people, especially outdoors. She won’t approach if you walk toward her, but if you sit down quietly, she’ll gladly come for affection, leaning in for pets and connection. She’s smart and perhaps a bit sly. Whether you’re looking for a gentle guardian, a playful friend, or a loyal soul to share your days with, Faline is ready to meet you on her own terms—and win your heart in the process.Name: FalineBreed: German Shepherd MixSex: FemaleAge: 11 years 7 months as of 5/16/25Weight: 67.0 as of 5/16/25Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm:  NEG on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Yes teens would be bestGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $300.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:    Tennessee 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
Say hello to Clyde, a German Shephard boy who loves to be petted, and just wants to be by your side. He also has the best smile!!This boy was a never claimed stray found on a backroad in MS protecting another Shephard who had sustained a gunshot wound (already adopted out through PAWS!) Clyde now resides in his southern foster home and is doing so well..At first, he may seem a little shy, but don't let that fool you—this sweet pup warms up quickly and will soon be your shadow and loyal best friend. Once he feels safe, his playful and affectionate personality shines through.His usual day is split between relaxing in his crate and romping around outside with his doggy foster sibling. He’s a big fan of outdoor play, daily walks (he’s great on leash!), and car rides—so he’s always ready for an adventure.Smart and eager to please, Clyde already knows "sit" and comes when called (especially if treats or kisses are involved!). He’s very food motivated, making training a breeze, and he's nearly 100% housebroken and fully crate trained.While Clyde loves being around his people and can get a little anxious when left alone, he settles down quickly and is learning that solo time is okay too. His ideal home would be active and outdoorsy, with a fenced yard for daily zoomies.If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who’s ready to explore the world by your side, here he is!!Name: ClydeBreed: German Shepherd MixSex: MaleAge: 2 years  (estimated)Weight: 75.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Positive on recent testing.

Story
Meet Xena. This litter is extremely lucky to have been found by one of our long-time rescuers. Mom dog was scheduled to be put down the following morning due to the fact she was having pups and was going to deliver within a day or so. These are happy healthy pups. They are curious about anything and everything. They love to play with each other and really seem to enjoy the closeness they have with one another. They love to cuddle and currently we are working on training. We believe Dad to be a German Sheppard. The lady who took them to the kill shelter said that their neighbor's German Sheppard was seen with the Mom dog. Mom is sweet gentle and a kindhearted dog. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!!! RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such. Please visit us on Facebook: Rebecca's Paws and Claws in Remlap and our website: www.rpacirescue.org.

Story
Champ is a smart, energetic, and loving young dog with basic obedience training. He knows sit, stay, come, and is crate-trained. He’s eager to learn and has a lot of potential with continued guidance. I’m rehoming him due to life changes and limited time. I work long hours and can’t give him the attention or structure he needs to thrive. He’s playful, loyal, and full of personality, but like most young dogs, he still needs supervision to avoid chewing and boredom. He deserves a home where he can be active, engaged, and part of a daily routine. He’d do best with someone experienced with dogs or a family that can offer structure, love, and patience. This is a hard decision, but I want what’s best for him. Champ is a great dog who just needs the right environment to grow into the amazing companion he’s meant to be. Adjectives to describe him: Smart, loyal, energetic, affectionate, eager-to-learn, curious.
