Story
Hello, our names are Carson (m), Bridger (m), and Colton (m). We are the cutest, sweetest, funniest, silliest babies you have ever met. We are like watching a three ring circus never knowing who is going to do what. But, the more you laugh, the sillier we are. We are not bonded siblings. We live with other rescue pups. Here at my foster mom's place, there are adult dogs, cats & kittens, a horse and a rooster. She has a creek running through the property which is good because we LOVE water. Our lives began in a rural community. The man who owned my parents was not responsible. So, here we are. But the bad part is, he could not hardly pay for food, vetting our three boys, or fixing our parents. He could not even give us flea/ tick prevention or heartworm prevention for our parents. The kind lady who was notified about us took us into her rescue. Today we are fed, full vetting is being done, flea/ tick prevention along with heartworm prevention is being given. I would like to have a family who is active, likes the water, goes for walks, hiking, camping, snuggling and car rides. Please request an application from alittlelonger2home@gmail.com. When you receive the application please fill out completely to include your three references email addresses. The references cannot be related to you. See you soon, I am waiting. Bridger Male Not neutered Breed: Aussie/ Lab mix Age 15 weeks old (As of 05/19/2025) Weight: 18lbs Color: Yellow & white & Black Great with people, older children, dogs/ puppies, cats/ kittens, a horse, and a rooster Adoption donation $495

Story
Hello, my name is Rex. I came to the rescue with Olivia. No one knows where we came from or why we were on the rural stretch of highway. But what is known is that a very kind-hearted widow came home when we were spotted. Our rescuer stopped on the shoulder of the highway, opened the back hatch on her car, opened the crate door in her car, then told us to "load up". So, we did. We were blessed to have a rescue lady get us. We love her. Today, we are ready to be adopted. We are not a bonded pair and are happy to be your home's only dog. I, Rex, am just the happiest boy. I love life, have tons of energy, and adore people. I would be great for hiking, camping with a running buddy, or going to the beach for a day to play on the shoreline. I am a car rider, dog social, and love humans. I am ready to come home. I am ready for the next chapter of my life with YOU. Please request an application from alittlelonger2home@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Chase!First and foremost, Chase is going to need someone with confidence because he has none. Just about five years old, Chase is going through a tough transition right now. He's confused and overwhelmed and he probably never had much confidence to begin with and this situation obviously isn't helping. Chase is a cattle dog/husky mix and he's definitely got the smarts from both breeds. He's a little over 40lbs and he's a very good boy just having a hard time adjusting to his whole world being flipped upside down. He's a big scaredy-cat until he's not, and then he'll lay belly up in your lap like the sensitive baby that he is. He's definitely a worrier but we think a lot of that anxiety comes from losing the person he got direction from and now it's left him with a whole lot of uncertainty. Chase did previously live with kids but right now, he's scared of everything. The wind blowing the wrong way scares him, tennis balls scare him, and the quick movements and loud noises of kids would definitely scare him. He's not super enthusiastic about other dogs but is very non-confrontational and prefers to just avoid unless he absolutely can't. He's scared of cats because of course he is.When Chase is comfortable with you, he's a little fluffy ball of sunshine. He'll be happy and super excited to see you and give you the happiest wiggles. He gives kisses and tail wags, he loves belly rubs, and loves being in someone's lap. He isn't terrible on a leash as far as pulling goes but does tend to get his leash wrapped around your legs and his own legs so he'll need some work. He's got the foundation and he's got the brains, he just needs someone to provide him with structure and much-needed confidence.

Story
Betty Lou — The Whoville Wonder with Big Explorer EnergyBetty Lou is bold, curious, and adventure-ready — the kind of pup who walks into a new space like she owns it, tail held high, eyes bright, and heart open. She plays beautifully with other dogs, reads the room like a social pro, and greets humans with a confident, “You’re my people now” energy.Betty Lou is part of the unforgettable Whoville Litter, a sibling group of five found just outside of Memphis. They emerged from the woods late one night — little wonders wandering out of the unknown and into a rescue story that was just beginning. The kindest man scooped them all inside, gave them warmth, and reached out to a PAWS New England volunteer, because he knew their lives deserved a brighter start.At around 4 months old, Betty Lou is healthy, happy, and ready for her next chapter. She’s already: • Great with other dogs • Smart and food-motivated • Making progress in crate training • Full of personality, confidence, and charmShe’ll thrive in a home that loves movement, laughter, and shared experiences. If you want a dog who brings excitement into everyday life, keeps you on your toes (in the cutest way), and makes every outing feel like an adventure — she’s your girl.Name: Betty LouBreed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler/HoundSex: FemaleAge: 16 weeks, as of 12/28/25                                                                                                             Weight: 24lbs ,as of 12/28/25                                                                                                             Spayed/Neutered: Too young - Spay/Neuter Contract will be required and strictly enforced.Vaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date.

Story
Maxine is the heart of the Whoville litter — playful, affectionate, and beautifully observant. At around 4 months old, she’s thriving in foster care and showing us more of her gentle, intentional personality every day.She loves romping and playing with her siblings, but what she craves most is one-on-one time with her human. Maxine adores being held and cuddled like a baby — belly-up snuggles, soft conversations, and dramatic shoulder sighs included. She’s the kind of pup who bonds deeply, listens closely, and happily follows her person from room to room just to stay connected.This little family didn’t arrive by sleigh from Whoville, but they did come from right outside of Memphis, Tennessee. Late one night, all five puppies wandered out of the woods and into the care of the kindest man, who brought them inside, gave them warmth, and reached out to PAWS New England volunteers to help change their story.Now safe, adored, and foster-loved, Maxine is ready for her own forever home.Ideal Home: • Values meaningful connection and bonding • Enjoys snuggles, playtime, and gentle affection • Doesn’t mind a sweet little shadow by their side • Has room in their heart for a loyal, loving companion.Maxine is more than ready — she’s meant for someone who will adore her as much as she adores them.

Story
Cindy Lou is a gentle little soul wrapped in quiet bravery and effortless charm. At around 16 weeks old, she’s already showing off big-dog potential in a tiny-pup package.She’s crate trained, settles easily, and treats bedtime like a cozy ritual — one little circle, a fluff of her dog bed, and she’s out like a light.In her foster home, Cindy Lou thrives in good company. She does great with the 6 foster dog siblings she lives with, matching their energy when it’s playtime and soaking up their calm when it’s time to settle. She loves being part of the moment and happily lets her little human foster lay beside her, run in the yard, and join in daily adventures. She’s naturally kid-friendly, social, and easy to handle.Cindy Lou is already a confident traveler — she loads up in the truck on her own and will slowly take a seat on the console, curling in like the world was built for cruising. She adores car rides and settles easily for every mile, whether it’s a quick trip or a long haul down the road.Cats? Completely uninteresting. She couldn’t care less about them. Horses and cows are still a little intimidating and admittedly scary, but she’s learning that big farm friends don’t have to be so frightening when observed from a safe distance.She’ll thrive in a patient, nurturing home that loves peaceful routines and gentle connection. She’s sweet, observant, and brings a grounding calm wherever she lands.Videos:https://youtube.com/shorts/uqUCEDLkKTc?feature=share https://youtube.com/shorts/ersJ7vm5N2Q?feature=share https://youtube.com/shorts/QE3gIdqNF3c?feature=shareName: Cindy LouBreed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler/HoundSex: FemaleAge: 16 weeks, as of 12/28/25Weight: 25lbs , as of 12/28/25Spayed/Neutered: Too young - Spay/Neuter Contract will be required and strictly enforced.Vaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date.
