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
Lucky is a 6-year-old Heeler who was adopted as a young puppy in 2020 and is now looking for a new forever home due to changed family circumstances, through no fault of his own. He’s currently around 85 lbs and is doing well on a structured weight-loss journey, so his future family will need to be committed to continuing healthy routines, regular walks, and mindful portions.Lucky previously lived with cats and did well with them. While he was not socialized with other dogs early in life, he has made great progress in his foster home and is doing well with calm dogs when introductions are slow and thoughtful. He has no prior experience with children, so any potential match should keep that in mind.In his foster home, Lucky is thriving. He is housebroken, shows good manners, and is actively working on improving his obedience skills. He benefits from structure and consistency and continues to show how eager he is to learn.One of Lucky’s most endearing traits is his love of “conversation” with his people, especially when he believes his meal is late or that he urgently deserves a treat right now. His expressive personality, sweet nature, and growing confidence make him a truly special companion.Lucky is looking for a patient, committed home that will support his continued progress, celebrate his milestones, and give him the loving second chance he deserves.🍀 Good with calm dogs with slow introductions🍀 Lived successfully with cats🍀 Housebroken🍀 Leash Trained🍀 On a successful weight-loss journey🍀 Working on obedience skills🍀 Big personality, bigger heartIf you’re ready to invest in Lucky’s health, happiness, and future, he’s ready to be your loyal sidekick 💙Name: Lucky - LOCALBreed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue HeelerSex: MaleAge: 6 years  (estimated)Weight: 85.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: UnknownGood with Dogs: SelectiveGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $450.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location 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.  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
Meet Simon, a very loving and affectionate boy who is so eager to please and gets along well with everyone he meets. Simon was found in January 2025 on a rural road in Mississippi, a cold, frightened, malnourished and almost completely hairless young puppy. After only a month of rest, nutrition, treatment and love in foster care, he transformed into a beautiful, happy, healthy, playful young puppy. He spent the first few months in an outdoor pen, waiting for a forever family that didn’t materialize. Now he is being fostered as an indoor dog learning the good manners of the fully grown young adolescent pup he has become. Simon is such a quick learner and has done so well; making everyone so proud.Simon gets along well with other dogs, and although his foster home doesn’t have cats, he has shown no interest in them during veterinary visits. He walks nicely on a leash, knows the “sit” command, and is a great traveler—loading easily and riding calmly in a crate in the back. Simon is already housebroken and crate-trained. He enjoys playing fetch with a rope toy and politely drops it at your feet, hoping you’ll toss it again rather than turning the game into tug-of-war.While he is laid-back and well-mannered indoors, Simon still has plenty of happy puppy energy and enthusiasm, making him eager to run, play, and explore whenever he’s outside.He is a very handsome pup with a gorgeous chocolate brown coat and cute white socks on all four feet. Simon is so ready to meet his new forever family. He will return any attention and love shown to him ten-fold. You could become the center of his universe and the object of his adoration.Name: SimonBreed: Australian Cattle Dog/Pit Bull TerrierSex: MaleAge: 1 year  (estimated)Weight: 65.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 5 since his excitability may accidently topple over a tiny tot.Good with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:  MississippiIMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & 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
McGerkle is the standout spark of the Whoville litter — playful, confident, and finally ready for a real home of his own.His most charming feature? The two-toned ticking spots on his front two legs — a unique blend of lighter and darker freckles that look like they were hand-painted just for him. It’s his signature detail — instantly recognizable and impossible to forget.But it’s more than good looks with this boy. McGerkle has the sweetest heart — a gentle, loving, old-soul softness wrapped in a true “boy dog” spirit. He craves human companionship and wants to be part of the action, but he’s also independent enough to explore the world at his own pace — nose-first, curiosity-led, and always observant.He’s crate trained, great on a lead, and walks like a pro. On a leash, he’s focused and respectful — but off the lead? That classic “boy dog energy” kicks in. He’s goofy in all the right ways, solid in all the important ones, and exactly what you picture when you say “boy dog” — loyal, playful, slightly mischievous, and full of heart.Now safe, healthy, and thriving in foster care, McGerkle is ready to take his freckled-leg charm, sweetest heart, and bold curiosity to a home that will adore him for a lifetime.Name: McGerkleBreed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler/HoundSex: MaleAge: 16 weeks, as of 12/28/25Weight: 28lbs, 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.

We can provide adopters with a list of low-cost SN clinics when requested. The adoption fee also includes the transport fee when applicableATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You must attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are an experienced dog owner and your adoption coordinator is comfortable with your experience.  This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy, so if you experience behavior issues, you have a point of contact.  PLEASE—Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. 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.

Story
Step aside Disney couples we have the most incredible duo available for adoption. Meet Bonnie and Clyde. A devoted pair who emerged from a wooded area on a Disney movie lot. The chef had begun preparing food for the crew and Bonnie and Clyde decided to join in on the fun. We have heartwarming footage of the crew befriending the dogs and providing them with food ultimately earning their trust and ensuring their safety. The shelter alerted us to this extraordinary bonded pair who are not only sweet but also incredibly loving. It's clear they were dumped but we are determined to find them a forever home where they will be cherished. Bonnie is a four-year-old red heeler who is fully vetted and spayed. Bonnie is deeply reliant on Clyde. Clyde who we believe is a Patterdale Terrier mix. Clyde is fully vetted and neutered. Both dogs are remarkably friendly with other dogs and children, although we are unsure about their compatibility with cats. Our rescue is committed to keeping this inseparable pair together as Bonnie is deeply attached to Clyde. If you are interested in adopting or fostering this amazing couple please don't hesitate to reach out. We provide our fosters with everything needed from food and toys to bedding and kennels. All we require is that you fill out our application for state rescue purposes. Rest assured if the adoption doesn't work out both dogs will return to our rescue ensuring their continued care and wellbeing. Bonnie is good with other dogs, and seems good around kids that come into the boarding facility.( NOT cat tested ) Bonnie can be a bit shy when first getting to know you but she is loving, and sweet.
