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.

She's great with kids (ages 5+), gentle with elderly folks, and walks beautifully on a leash. Ruby is also housetrained and an excellent traveler, making her a perfect adventure companion.Ruby does have a few quirks—she's not a fan of cats (she'll chase them!) and gets nervous during storms, preferring to snuggle under the covers. But with love and reassurance, she'll always be by your side.Her ideal home?A loving family with or without other dogsA cat-free home Ruby is already spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vet care. Still, she tested positive for heartworms, so she'll need a family willing to continue her treatment.

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. All dogs from this rescue are transported from Alabama to the New England area and delivered in RI. Each dog will come fully vetted. Price also includes transportation and a Health Certificate as required by law. There is a 100.00 deposit required at the time of adoption to secure the transport crate. The remainder of the fee will be paid once you pick up the dog. Naturally the 100.00 comes off the total owed at pick up. It will be refunded if for any reason you decide you do not want to adopt, unless the transport has already left.with the dog. To get a application please go to: saveapreciouspaw@gmail.com
