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 Emma (brown 10 year old girl)) and Caroline (black/gray 11 year old girl). They are two of the sweetest girls you will ever meet. These two sisters are the very definition of a “velcro dog”. Sadly, their owner passed away so they are looking for their forever home where they can stay together and share their warm, loyal companionship with someone who will cherish them as much as they'll cherish you.They love being by your side. They will curl up by your feet or put their head in your lap and follow you from room to room. Need a snuggle? They have you covered. They are also very active and enjoy long walks and have plenty of energy.Both girls are already house and crate trained, and handle and car rides just fine.Emma can use some work walking on the leash and Caroline was initially fearful of going up and down stairs, but in time has proven she is capable (front steps, beds, and couches are no problem). Both are well behaved and love to please you. They seem very well socialized and get along nicely with other dogs and people.Australian Shepherds are an amazing breed. They do require both mental and physical stimulus or they can get bored. They are getting three good walks a day in their foster home.These two girls will capture your heart just as they have their foster parents’.Name: Caroline & EmmaBreed: Australian Shepherd/CrossbreedSex: FemaleAge: 10 and 11 years oldWeight: 44 and 46 poundsSpayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: UnknownAdoption Fee: $250.00  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 Chanel, a striking upbeat beauty with a heart full of joy and a spirit that shines as brightly as her glossy coat. Chanel was dropped off at the shelter as a stray—pregnant and alone. She brought her puppies into the world safely, was the best mama, and once they were all adopted, she finally got her turn to relax and settle into a foster home. There, she is blossoming.Around other dogs, Chanel prefers slow introductions. In smaller or crowded environments she may correct overly boisterous pups, but she isn’t aggressive—she just values her space. Once she’s comfortable, she loves to run in the yard and enjoy the freedom of wide-open spaces with her canine friends. She’s very curious about cats and tries to chase them if they run.With children, she is tail wagging happily as she leans in for pets and attention.On walks, Chanel may start off with a burst of excitement, but she quickly settles into a lovely, steady pace. During car rides, she will be your co-pilot—sitting up to take in the view or stretching out peacefully for the journey. This girl is both housetrained and crate trained, sleeping in her crate at night and resting there quietly when her foster is away.Chanel is an energetic, outdoorsy girl who would thrive with an active family. She loves long walks, fresh air, and exploring new places. Yet she’s also happy sprawled at your feet during family gatherings One of her foster’s favorite memories? Being on a boat, eyes closed, coat glistening in the wind as she soaked in the sun like a queen.She will do best in a home with dogs who aren’t constantly in her face and who are calmer in temperament. A secure yard is a needed—this curious girl may try her best escape artist impressions if given the chance.If you’re looking for a loyal companion to join your adventures, snuggle into your home, and light up your life, Chanel might just be the perfect match. She has already shown her resilience—she’s simply waiting for the family who will show her love in return.Name: ChanelBreed: Australian Shepherd/HuskySex: FemaleAge: 3 years  (estimated)Weight: 50.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: No, wants to chase.Adoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:  AlabamaIMPORTANT 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.
