Story
Faith, along with three other sweet girls (Quiznos, Cindy and Slushy/Brandy) came from a home that had 60 dogs in it. The local shelter contacted one of our southern recuse partners for help. Now, these four little ladies are part of the PAWSNE family. All these girls are hoarder survivors, so they did not get the attention they needed until now. They are making significant progress with their socialization, though they are still shy. When they go outside, they jump on their foster legs and lick her fingers, but STILL flatten out like a pancake when she tries to pick them up.But these precious ones are learning that humans can be trusted to give you love and attention.They are all crate-trained. They are very social with all the other dogs, and they all love to play. All these girls will do best in a home with another confident dog. Faith and her housemates will need an understanding and patient home and one that is patient with them. They have already come a long way in a short time. With love, attention, and patience, they will continue to learn how wonderful it is to be part of a family.

Story
Hi my name is Nene and I love long car rides. However please do not leave the car windows down because if something catches my attention I will jump out of the window, even if the car is moving. I have no fear. I also love going for long walks. I am not house trained but will go to the bathroom on a wee wee pad. Please be sure to have plenty of toys for me because I am an aggressive chewer and I like to chew on everything. Cesar dog food filet mignon flavor is my all time favorite. I am still a very hyper puppy and I like to play fight. I am still learning not to jump on people so please watch me around small children. I am very treat motivated and learn tricks easy. I can sit, lay down, give paw, high five and pray. If you are interested in Nene please contact Us at 401-316-4865 for an adoption application.
