Story
FOSTERING LOCAL IN NEW ENGLAND!!!Hello, my name is Zeus. If you’re looking for a sweet dog with a kind heart and good manners, I’m your guy. I get along really great with other dogs, big or small, and absolutely would love another dog or dogs in my forever home! In fact, this is a requirement for my adoption. I feel much safer and comfortable being in a home with another dog.I have a gentle temperament and even like cats. Humans are great too, especially when they are dog people. Kids make me a little nervous. They are often very loud and jumpy and don’t respect my space. I am naturally sensitive and pick up the vibes of my environment. I am currently living in a happy home with three other dogs, a blind cat, and my foster mom. We all get along and life is good. My bestie is a Chihuahua. I really love little dogs! Even though I am happy in my foster home, I would be so grateful for a home of my very own. I am potty trained, good on leash, playful, and well behaved. I have some anxiety in busy environments, with strange people, or at the vet. But my anxiety has been managed very well by my foster mom, who makes me feel safe and loved, so I don’t get triggered these days as easily as in my past life. Having another dog in the house helps a lot with my anxiety. I am smart and know basic commands. I’d love to learn new things, especially if treats are involved. I love food and am a good boy when food is around. During feeding time, my foster mom will give me the “place” command, and I will obediently go to my place and bunny hop until she puts my food down. Hence my nickname, Zeus Bunny. If you’d like to meet me, please submit an application.

The number of individual inquiries is overwhelming and we are finding it difficult to respond to each one. We cannot guarantee you will receive a timely response.Paws New England is a rescue, not a shelter, and as such we do not have our dogs housed in one location - they are in foster homes both in New England and in our southern foster homes. If you're interested in a specific dog, please complete a short online application and you will receive a reply within 48 hours so you can ask questions.At present, if a dog is listed on our website, the dog is considered still available HOWEVER, may have applications that have come in before yours but it's still too early to know if any are a good match; therefore we encourage you to apply.NOTICE WITH REGARD TO LOCATION OF DOGS: Please note: Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. We do not have a brick and mortar building to house the dogs we rescue. We have found that dogs in foster homes are much more adoptable because they have been observed in a home setting. Dogs listed with Paws New England typically reside in various locations throughout the south (primarily Tennessee, Texas, and Arkansas) and New England (not necessarily in the state of Rhode Island). You will be notified by the adoption coordinator of the location of the dog you are interested in so you have the ability to decide whether to pursue adoption or not.Dogs transported to New England are done so at a fee of $150.00 paid directly to the transporting company by Paws New England; no additional transport costs are responsibility of adopter. This fee is included in the adoption donation.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. We appreciate your understanding that your dog will help others in need.All known information about the animal is listed above. We do our best to give accurate information, but most of our dogs are rescues and do not come with a known history.Paws New England abides by the dog importation regulations set forth in the states of MA, CT, NH and RI.
