Story
Meet Newton, an all-around wonderful dog with a fun-loving personality and a heart full of affection. Found as a stray in AK, this handsome boy has settled beautifully into foster care and is now ready to find the forever family he deserves.Newton truly enjoys life and loves being part of whatever is going on around him. He thrives on attention, happily soaking up affection and returning it tenfold. His easygoing nature and friendly temperament make him a joy to have around.One of Newton's best qualities is how well he gets along with everyone he meets. He has lived successfully with young children, including kids under six years old, and has also been wonderful with his foster's elderly mother. He enjoys the company of other dogs, has met plenty of canine friends at the dog park, and shared his foster home with multiple dogs without issue. Cats? No problem there either—he previously lived with six of them and got along just fine. He has even proven himself trustworthy around chickens!Newton is house trained, crate trained, and has excellent manners in the home. He stays quietly in his kennel at night and whenever his foster family is away. He travels well, enjoys car rides, and has even accompanied his foster family into stores, where he behaved like a perfect gentleman. Newton still has puppy energy and will require avenues to burn that off so a fenced yard with regular play and multiple walks a day will be needed for him.This handsome boy knows several commands, including sit, shake, and kennel, and he learns quickly. While he may pull a little on leash at times, he responds well to correction and continues to improve.With his friendly personality, adaptable nature, and ability to fit in with just about everyone, Newton would make a fantastic addition to most households. Whether you're looking for a walking buddy, a family companion, or simply a loyal best friend, Newton is ready to fill that role with enthusiasm and love.Name: NewtonBreed: Labrador Retriever/Crossbreed (Breed mix is not guaranteed-no DNA testing done).Sex: MaleAge: 1 year (estimated)Weight: 47.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $550.00 (includes transport fee when applicable) $100-150 additional mandatory quarantine fee for Massachusetts residents.Location of dog currently: MississippiIMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.
