Story

Dusty is such a sensational puppy! Six months old and with beautiful color, he was pulled from a high intake Houston shelter and now has made it to Rhode Island and is in foster care. An approximate American Bulldog/Boxer mix, he will not likely be tall, but he will be a chunk. Dusty is extremely bright, an excellent learner, and is a thinker with a very level personality. He is goofy, but also responsible, and we see in him and his vigilance the potential to be a most loyal companion and a excellent guardian. He is a people lover and very friendly, gets on great with other dogs, and is very responsive but not clingy or underfoot. This is a rock solid puppy who deserves to go into a home where he will continue to be guided, socialized and *trained* (he is much too strong a dog not to be), and with that done we are pretty sure he will be the best dog of a lifetime for some lucky someone....a really nice boy with a world of potential. Crates well and is well along with his housebreaking training. For questions or to request an application please contact Lucy at maramuser@gmail.com. Southpaws is proud to maintain its adoption fee at $450, but we unfortunately cannot adopt to residents of Massachusetts or New Hampshire due to state restrictions there.

Story

Meet Kenji!Have you ever seen more perfect puppy dog eyes? Like, look at that booboo face ðŸ¥º How can a 53lb dog look so much like a sad stuffed animal?Kenji is a four year old American bulldog mix and, despite the fact that he looks like Eeyore, is a SUPER happy and outgoing guy! He's basically bomb proof. He's shockingly well-behaved on a leash and won't use his weight/muscles to drag you all over the place or yank your arm out of the socket. He warms up to new people ridiculously quickly so "stranger danger" doesn't seem to be a concept that he comprehends or cares to find out about.Kenji previously lived with other dogs and did very well with them and he's been perfectly fine with other dogs here but he does seem to be exhausted by the mere presence of bouncier, more hyper dogs. Another laidback, low-key dog would be perfect for him but he's an old soul that doesn't want to be paired with a crazy puppy. As far as cats go, dog-savvy cats might be okay...but when one of our grumpier cats charged at him, he just let out the weariest, most soul-deep sigh we've ever heard come from a dog so maybe not subjecting him to cats would be kinder. Kids 12+ because, as is typical, we don't know if he's ever been around smaller kids and while he's a gentle giant, his feelings may be the same as they are towards puppies...like, "this is fine but please stop, I am tired".Kenji knows his commands (some he knows selectively...) and hasn't shown any signs of food aggression or resource guarding. He's a big baby blockhead that just wants to nap under the covers with you and cry at you as his way of communicating. He does love his walks and is briefly entertained by toys but prefers the company of people.You must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member to adopt Kenji.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application.

Zuri

American Bulldog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 5 yrs

Fall River, MA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Zuri!Zuri looks permanently concerned for everyone's safety and we just wanna squish and squeeze those wrinkles for daaaaaays.Zuri is a five year old American bulldog mix and she's a little lady at just under 40lbs. While she comes off shy and demure at first, she warms up suuuuper quick and will melt like butter into your hands or in your lap...whatever is more readily available. Once she's warmed up, she's a social butterfly that thrives with attention and affection. Being a bully breed, Zuri has some issues with allergies. We haven't quite figured out what, exactly, she's allergic to but she'll most likely always have occasional flare ups that will need to be treated as symptoms arise. She also has a history of urinary crystals but she's been doing well on her urinary diet and other than that, she is a happy, healthy girl!Zuri did previously live with other dogs and she's also been great with other dogs here. She can come on pretty strong at first because she's a little bit excitable but then she calms down and is happy to just pal around with the other dog(s). She is used to male dogs so we would prefer a home with a male dog, no cats, and kids 12+. She doesn't have a ton of interest in toys but is intrigued by squeaky toys and perks up when she hears them. She's an absolute DREAM on a leash and she's super smart and knows all of her commands.Since she is 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.

Charlie

American Bulldog German Shorthaired Pointer

Male, 4 yrs 2 mos

Warwick, RI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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.

Pebbles

American Bulldog

Female, Adult

Warwick, RI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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

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.
