Meet Fred 🐾 — Your Easygoing, Loyal CompanionFred is a 12-year-old, 50 lb mixed breed (likely Lab/Boxer mix with a beautiful brindle coat) who is looking for a soft landing and a loving home to call his own.Fred’s story hasn’t been the easiest. Born in 2014, he was surrendered in South Carolina in 2020 and made his way to Massachusetts, where he was adopted. Unfortunately, due to life circumstances, he was recently left behind and has been passed from one temporary situation to another before landing with a kind Good Samaritan who is now helping him find the stable, loving home he truly deserves.Despite his past uncertainty, Fred has remained an exceptionally gentle, loving, and well-mannered dog.Fred’s personality in a nutshell:Calm and easygoing — a true “old soul.”Loves everyone he meetsGreat on leash and enjoys his walksWell-behaved in the home and knows basic commandsNot food aggressive at allFriendly with other animals (even tries to make friends with cats!)Fred would thrive in a home looking for a loyal, low-key companion — someone who enjoys daily walks but also appreciates a relaxed, steady presence by their side.At his age, Fred is starting to show a little stiffness consistent with mild arthritis, but he’s still happy to get out and enjoy life. He is neutered and was previously up to date on vaccines (though he will likely need routine vetting to bring him current). He's been to the vet again and had a senior panel bloodwork, exam for his joints and given some meds to help. Overall, in good shape for an old boy - he does need a dental, which we will get done at our expense after adoption.Ideal home:Fred would be a wonderful match for an older or more laid-back household looking for a devoted companion. He’s the kind of dog who will quietly become your shadow and your best friend.Fred has so much love left to give — he just needs someone willing to give him the second chance he’s been waiting for. 💛Name: Fred - Pembroke, MABreed: Plott Hound/Crossbreed   (Breed mx is not guaranteed-no DNA testing done).Sex: MaleAge: 11 years  (estimated)Weight: 62.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 5 (has lived with)Good 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:    Pembroke, MAIMPORTANT 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 veterinary 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.

Meet Our Birmingham 6 🐾💛Arty is an interesting brindle. He likes to explore. He is very confident and strong-willed. He is also a loving boy.

Life hadn’t been kind to her, but she stayed gentle and trusting. She was taken in just in time, where she safely gave birth to her six babies in a warm, caring environment—no more worrying about where her next meal would come from or how she’d protect her pups.From day one, these puppies have been safe, handled, and loved—and it shows.
