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
Around Christmas, sweet pittie mom Mamie began leading one or two of her puppies at a time out of a wooded area near one of our foster homes. In total, seven precious pups emerged. Dad (or dads!) remains a mystery, so their exact mix is anyone’s guess.Now safe and cozy in foster care, these babies are absolutely adorable—each one somehow cuter than the last. We estimate they’re 8–10 weeks old as of 1/18/25, with their first vet visit coming up soon (more updates to follow!).For now, they’re happy, healthy, starting crate training, and growing up surrounded by other animals, kids, and lots of loving humans. Momma Mamie is pictured on this bio, too, because she deserves the spotlightBreed: American Bulldog Mix/Pit Mix/Unknown MixAge: 9 weeks as of 1/18Weight: 11-15 lbs as of 1/18 -- growing like weedsSpayed/Neutered: Too young - Spay/Neuter Contract will be required and strictly enforced.Vaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date.

Consider the lifestyle changes this puppy will bring. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so crucial in this puppy's life.
