Story
Meet Petunia! Despite her name, this girl is no delicate or wilting summer flower. When Petunia was found as a stray by Providence Animal Control, she was scared, skinny, and in need of a little love. It took a few minutes and a handful of treats to earn her trust, but then she showed us her sweet and playful personality. Petunia loves to chase toys, tear the squeakers from her stuffies, play a competitive game of tug, and shred cardboard boxes in search of hidden treats. But once all that is done? She’s up for a nap and snuggle time with her people. She’s still young, estimated to be about 1-2 years old, and is quickly returning to a healthy weight. Though we don’t know much of Petunia’s past, she is currently thriving in foster care and her foster family only gave good things to say about her. She’s house trained, well behaved, and enjoying the company of a smaller, playful dog. **if you are interested in Petunia, please complete an adopter’s profile at parl.org and email cshamgochian@parl.org to set up a meet and greet. Petunia is in foster care and is not available during regular open hours without an appointment**

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
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.
