Dublin is a sweet and social young pup with a heart of gold. He came from a backyard breeding situation along with nine other dogs, but you'd never guess it by the way he loves.Although Dublin can be a little shy when meeting new people, he warms up quickly and is affectionate once he feels safe. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is currently living in a foster home with several canine companions. He’s especially fond of running and romping around the yard with them.He also peacefully coexists with the resident cat, showing no interest—though it's worth noting the cat is calm and doesn't run, which likely helps.Children can be overwhelming for Dublin—he’s not aggressive, but he will retreat and hide when he feels unsure. Because of this, Dublin would thrive in a home with adults or older children who can respect his boundaries.Dublin is crate-trained, sleeps quietly through the night, and doesn’t bark unnecessarily. He’s doing good with house training and is getting close to being fully reliable, but will need continued support and patience.He’s eager to learn and very treat-motivated, which makes him a great candidate for his needed basic manners training. A moderately active home that understands the needs of a dog adjusting to the safe and loving home he deserves would be ideal.If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and gentle companion who’s ready to blossom with a little love and structure, Dublin may be your perfect match.Name: DublinBreed: Shih Tzu/HavaneseSex: MaleAge: 2 years  (estimated)Weight: 15.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 12Good with Dogs: Yes!Good with Cats: Yes, dog savvyAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:     Texas  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.

Chloe is a gentle, sweet senior girl who’s discovering joy all over again. For the first part of her life, Chloe lived with a family who had her for seven years, but for reasons we’ll never fully understand, they decided they didn’t want her anymore. What came before that is a mystery, but we’re focused on the bright future ahead. When she first arrived in her foster home, Chloe was quiet and withdrawn, clearly unsure of the world around her. Then a dental exam revealed she had been living with pain, and after the extraction of four troublesome teeth, everything began to change. She also had some skin issues on her tail and lower back, but with love and care, her skin has improved and her hair is growing back nicely. With all this discomfort gone, Chloe’s sweet and spunky personality emerged. Today, she’s a happy girl who lights up at the sight of her food bowl and absolutely loves a treat—especially if it’s soft, since she’s not a real fan of dry kibble. Chloe is indifferent to other dogs so she could be in an only dog home. Chloe visited with some dog friendly cats and showed little interest. She also spent time with an 11 year old boy and exhibited her typical sweet and calm temperament.Chloe is spayed, heartworm negative, and walks beautifully on a leash. She insists on a companion when she needs to go outside. She will come find you if she sees you’re not following. She is polite and quick when the weather is wet—no lingering for this lady. On sunny days, though, she enjoys exploring the yard at her own relaxed pace. Chloe is looking for a quiet, loving home with someone who enjoys a laid-back lifestyle and the occasional stroll around the block. This special senior may have had a rough start, but she’s more than ready for a happy, peaceful future.Name: ChloeBreed: Shih Tzu MixSex: FemaleAge: 11 years  (estimated)Weight: 20.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Yes over 7Good with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: Yes - seemed to have little interestAdoption 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.
