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. Colton 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
Meet Bruschi — the Gentleman Who Never Lost His ShinePhotos do not do this dog justice.Bruschi is about 3 years old and came to us most unexpectedly. His owner dropped him off at a home for “boarding”... and never came back. While that’s heartbreaking, it also means someone out there is about to gain an incredible dog.From day one, Bruschi has been the picture of a perfect gentleman. He has a stunning, silky coat, and it’s clear he’s been well cared for in the past. Now he’s getting everything he needs to start fresh: neuter, vaccines, heartworm test, microchip — the whole VIP package.He’s currently hanging out at the vet and doing fantastic with the other dogs and all the humans. Once he’s sprung from boarding, we’ll get to know him even better.As for breed? Your guess is as good as ours — maybe Aussie, maybe Husky, perhaps just 100% Handsome.House training and crate habits are still to be determined, but we’ll be testing those soon.Bruschi will be ready to travel to New England ASAP, and he’s more than prepared to start the next, happiest chapter of his life.Name: BruschiBreed: Australian Shepherd/Husky (no confirmation of this)Sex: MaleAge: 2 years  (estimated)Weight: Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: NegativeMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: As of now, unknown, but will testGood with Dogs: Yes - in boarding and while at his foster home, did greatGood with Cats: UnknownAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:    Arrives to Massachusetts 12/20!!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 needed.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.
