Story
Scrappie is a big gentle boy with a heart full of love and a coat as unique as his story — mostly white with a few beautiful brindle areas. After being rescued from life on the streets in Mississippi, Scrappie found a loving home in November 2023, where he lived happily with a mom and three older children. Unfortunately, due to major life changes, he is once againlooking for a forever family to call his own.Scrappie absolutely loves people and thrives on companionship. He’s especially good with adults and older kids (ages 10+), but younger children confuse him, so he needs a home without little ones. We have discovered that there are a few things that cause Scrappie to become defensive with other dogs when they’re close up and personal, so he needs to be the only dog in the home. This boy is house trained, crate trained and walks well on a leash. He’s very food motivated, which is great for training! He may be approaching senior status, but still has plenty of energy.Scrappie has come a long way—he used to struggle with separation anxiety, but thanks to a little support (and some temporary medication), he’s now calm when left alone and no longer needs meds.If you’re looking for a big, affectionate companion who’s already done the hard work and justwants to snuggle up and be loved, Scrappie might just be your perfect match. Apply for this sweet boy and see if he’s the missing piece in your home.Name: ScrappieBreed: American Bulldog MixSex: MaleAge: 8 years 4 months as of 10/24/25Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on last testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 10Good with Dogs: He cannot live with another dog, but has no problem seeing other dogs while on walks.Good with cats: NoAdoption Fee: $300.00  Location of dog currently:  ConnecticutIMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and 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.

Story
Rayne is an 18-month-old Bully mix with a heart as big as anything — and she’s looking for her perfect match! This stunning girl is deeply affectionate, smart as a whip, and ready to be someone’s whole world.She loves her people hard. She bonds quickly and will be your faithful shadow, adventure buddy, and snuggle supervisor. She thrives on connection and truly shines in a one-on-one relationship—think of her as the canine version of a ride-or-die best friend.She’s still young and learning, but she’s already making great strides with her training. Rayne is working hard to channel her excitement into good-girl energy. She’s learning to walk nicely on leash and discovering the joys of daily walks.What Rayne needs most is a peaceful, pet-free home where she can be the star of the show. While she coexists calmly on walks and behind baby gates with other dogs, she prefers not to share her living space or her people. Cats and critters? Also a no-thanks from Rayne. But give her consistency and patience, and this girl will give you the most loyal, loving companionship in return.If you’re the kind of person who believes in second chances and soul-dog connections, Rayne might just be the one you’ve been waiting for.🩵 Only pet however she gets along with dogs just fine outside of her home🩵 Daily walks + continued training = happy Rayne🩵 Devoted, silly, sensitive, and SO worth itLet Rayne bring a little sunshine to your world.Check out her videos: https://youtu.be/1Nt2LZaSlT0?feature=sharedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nt2LZaSlT0https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NTcgKFxM-9wName: RayneBreed: American Bulldog Mix Sex: FemaleAge: 1 1/2 - 2 yearsWeight:45 lbs Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS: Good with Children: UntestedGood with Dogs: Yes but should live alone with her humansGood with Cats: No Adoption Fee: $500.00Location of dog currently: New England IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.

Story
Thank you for your interest in adopting. Charlie was abandoned with another dog on the side of a rural Alabama highway in August 2024. That's how losers unload their responsibilities on society. We didn't have an open foster home and couldn't leave them there so we rescued the dogs and took them to the vet for medical and boarding. Charlie spent 7 weeks at the clinic, then he moved to a foster home in October and he's still there waiting on you! Charlie is estimated 3-4 years old and he is medium size at 55 pounds. He eats 2 cups of food and a few biscuits each day. Charlie lives in a home with a senior couple and 6-8 adults dogs at most times. He's perfectly crate trained and doesn't bother anything in the house when not crated. Charlie enjoys time outside in the yard running the fence with deer and chasing the other dogs in the yard. He has no resource or behavioral issues. He shares antlers and toys. He will bark at any cats he sees in the yard. Charlie is a good boy eager to have a meaningful relationship with his person! Charlie does have a one inch wide scar around most of his neck. A bandanna would look great on him! So many good dogs like Charlie are chained and neglected in the south. He doesn't remember those times. He had no other marks or scars, just his neck. All of our dogs live in Alabama foster homes and transport to New England when they are adopted. If you are approved to adopt one of our dogs, you will speak to the foster family and you can request FaceTime, video or more pictures once your application is approved. This method of long distance adoption works for hundreds of pets every year! We have been sending Dogs and cats to homes for 15 years and strive the make the adoption process as smooth as possible. Charlie is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, multiple dewormings, heartworm negative, and he receives monthly parasite prevention. He comes with his records. We pay a transporter for every dog we send to a New England home. We do not own the van or service. Every dog sees a veterinarian before they leave for a health check and health certificate, which also comes with a cost. These costs are built into the total fee. Total adoption fee and investment for this nice dog is discounted $395.00 and includes the transport and health certificate from the vet. $200 adoption fee $195 transport health certificate Serious adopters should fill out the application online and someone will get back to you ASAP. We prefer a vet reference, current or previous, to adopt a puppy. Please call your vet to release information on your account.

Story
Pebbles is a loving, loyal companion excited for walks, play, snuggles or simply being with her loved ones. She is an inquisitive, hilarious, goofy princess. This beautiful 65lb sun basking girlie is an adult with puppy energy without puppy woes. Pebbs is remarkably obedient for an American bulldog, taking well to training and structure; she will shake your hand and catch treats (her favorite is crunchy lettuce!!). She walks great on a leash, never had destructive behavior, is perfectly housebroken, spayed, microchipped, and current on shots. Pebbles has lived with kids and other dogs so should adapt well. Due to a rough first home she is an anxious girlie, so she's looking for an experienced parent/home with chill vibes rather than party vibes, but fit to fulfill her exercise needs. (Rehoming due to neglect. I cannot keep her much longer and just want to keep her out of the shelter so please reach out. She is a gem!!)

Story
Meet Rocco Meet Rocco. He came to my house last week for an evaluation.... and I liked him so much I asked if he could spend the weekend while I got to know him a little better. He's a big lug of a guy with an even bigger heart. Rocco is a calm guy, nervous at first in a new environment, but tries his best. He loves to plop his bum right into the lap of his person, snuggle on the couch, and keep watch out of the window. He is a quiet guy. Sometimes off to himself, sometimes joining folks on the couch. I suspect he will be fine with cats, but since each cat is an individual, a meet and greet would be critical. He walks and hangs out with some other dogs. I have seen no prey drive from Rocco, instead, he has sat and watched the birds and squirrels in my window feeder. We are working on crate training and stairs. At present, stairs are a little too scary for Rocco. Rocco has some allergies that are controlled with over the counter medications. Rocco is a resident of Scituate Shetler where he is a staff and volunteer favorite. Unfortunately he has been there since January, so they asked us to help them get him seen by someone who will want to take him home and love him forever. We are grateful they did, "to know Rocco is to love him". Rocco comes with a Handsome Dan's Rescue Take My Lead grant entitling him to up to $500 in private training and supplies.

Story
Meet Basil!Sweet baby Basil is just a pup at only ten months old. She's a sensitive gal which is understandable because coming to the shelter from a home can be a big, confusing transition and it can be overwhelming. Basil is a boxer/American bulldog mix and weighs about 60lbs.While it takes a minute or two to win her over, she immediately becomes a big goofy blockhead with all of the zoomies! She's genuinely just a big baby that needs all of the coddling, all of the reassurance, and all of the snuggles. She's a bouncy bean that is a big hammy ham for attention. She loves her walkies and loves rope/tug toys but can and will turn the rope toy into a dangerous weapon when she starts swinging it around like a medieval mace. She'll take you at the knees/ankles if you're not careful. Anyone remember the Skip-It and how it would smash your ankle bones? Yeah, like that.Basil is fantastic with other dogs and lights up like a Christmas tree when she sees them, especially big goofy male dogs. (She seems to have a type.) She's all play bows and zoomies trying to get them to chase her. She's afraid of cats because big dogs afraid of cats seems to be trending here lately. We are looking for an adult-only home (or teenagers and adults). Since she's a "restricted breed", you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application. Once complete, you can email it to us at fpas1@foreverpaws.com or fax it to us at 508-677-9175.
