Meet Doodlebug 🤍 Doodlebug is a 4 month old Australian Shepherd with the sweetest, most gentle soul.

SULLY

Australian Shepherd

Male, Young

Cranston, RI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs,

Story

Sully from our “Monster's Inc.” litter may look like a big, fluffy “scarer,” but don’t let that fool you, this sweet boy is all heart. He is 7 months old and is an Australian Shepherd mixed breed. Sully is still young and while he can be a little shy at first, it doesn’t take long for his gentle, affectionate side to shine through. Once he feels safe, he leans in for love and will happily stick by your side like your own personal (very handsome) shadow. Sully would thrive in a home that understands he just needs a little time to settle in. He’s been through more than most puppies his age (he was found after being dumped in the middle of nowhere, he and his siblings bravely made their way to safety). Because of this, he would do best in a home with kids 12+ and would absolutely benefit from having another dog around to help build his confidence. With a little patience, Sully is going to grow into the most loyal, loving companion.

RANDALL

Australian Shepherd

Male, Young

Cranston, RI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs,

Story

Randall may not be much of a “chameleon” when it comes to hiding, his sweetness gives him away instantly. This handsome 6-month-old boy can be a bit reserved at first, taking a moment to assess new surroundings, but once he warms up, he’s all about connection, comfort, and quiet affection. He’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply and will become incredibly devoted to his person. Like his siblings, Randall’s story started with uncertainty, but he’s proven just how resilient he is. After being abandoned, he helped make the journey to safety with his littermates, and now he’s ready for a home that will never let him go. He’d do best in a calmer environment with kids 12+ and would likely flourish with another dog to show him the ropes. Give him a little time, and you’ll have a best friend for life.

Story

At around 3 years old, this handsome tri-colored boy is as sweet and mild-mannered as they come. With his striking, electric blue eyes (we’re guessing an Aussie mix!), he has a quiet way of capturing your heart without even trying.He’s not much for toys—instead, he prefers the simple things in life: soft pets, kind words, and just being near his people. He’s the kind of dog who will happily sit beside you, soaking up attention and offering calm, comforting companionship in return.He’s wonderful with kids and truly a “go-with-the-flow” kind of dog. He loves meeting new people and exploring the world around him. Like many dogs of his breed, he does enjoy regular exercise and outdoor time to stay happy and balanced—but once he’s had that, he settles in nicely and is content just being with his people.If you’re looking for a sweet, social dog who will happily join you for both adventures and downtime, he’s your guy. 💙Name: CosmoBreed: Australian Shepherd (Breed mx is not guaranteed-no DNA testing done).Sex: MaleAge: 3 years (estimated)Weight: 43 lbs Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Positive on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS: Good with Children: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: UnknownAdoption Fee: $550.00 (includes transport fee when applicable) $100-150 additional mandatory quarantine fee for Massachusetts residents.Location of dog currently: Tennessee IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.
