Story
Boone Robinson is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home! Boone is a 1-year-old German Shepherd mix weighing about 58 lbs. Having spent most of his first year outside with other dogs rather than people, Boone thrives in the company of a fur friend. He is housebroken, doesn't bark, has no separation anxiety, and is not destructive. Boone does experience anxiety with new things, new people, and new noises. However, he's shown improvement with the use of a calming collar and Purina Pro Care Calming supplements. Inside the house, Boone is very low-key and prefers to stay in one spot, never needing to be crated. Boone is looking for a patient and understanding home that can provide him with the companionship he craves and help him continue to build confidence. Could you be the perfect match for Boone?

Story
Bailey Robinson is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home! Bailey is a special lady that will slowly and quietly work her way into your heart. Having spent most of her first year living outside with minimal human interaction she is slowly learning that being inside is pretty nice and humans can be too! She needs at least one other dog and a fenced yard. She extremely shy and skittish (flight risk at first), but will open once she builds trust and feels safe, but it will take time. Bailey loves to eat and is extremely food motivated, the quickest way to her heart is peanut butter and freeze dried liver, but really any treat will do-even apples. Once she trusts you she will come to you for pets and love. She needs a very patient adopter willing to give her the time to adjust and trust, but it is well worth it. She is incredibly sweet. She will benefit from professional training to help her continue to make progress. Teens and older only, busy kids are too much for her. She'd also prefer a quieter household while she settles in, too many visitors make her nervous.

Story
Meet Kylie: A Survivor, A Mama, A SweetheartKylie’s story begins in the harshest of conditions. Rescued from under an abandoned home on a freezing cold day, this gentle soul was not alone—she was found huddled with her eight puppies, doing everything she could to protect and care for them. Kylie’s nurturing instincts kicked in from the moment she became a mama, showing boundless love and devotion to her little ones. Thankfully, she and her pups were given a second chance when they were rescued and brought into the warmth of a loving foster home.Now, Kylie is ready to share her heart with a family of her own. Despite her tough beginnings, she has blossomed into a calm, loving, and sweet dog who thrives in a home filled with affection and companionship. Kylie is great with children, currently staying with a 6-year-old in her foster home, and she has proven to be patient and gentle. Kids also come over and interact with her puppies on a daily basis and she is just great!Kylie is fully crate-trained and willingly enters her crate, making it a safe, cozy space when needed. She’s also housetrained, and although she’s rarely left alone in her foster home, she does just fine when she is. She walks well on a leash and enjoys car rides, making her an excellent companion for outings. Kylie is not a chewer, so she’s easy to manage indoors, and she’s perfectly content with a routine.One thing to note about Kylie: she is possessive of her food, so she’s best fed separately from other pets. But with this small exception, she is nothing but sweet and loving—always ready for snuggles, belly rubs, and moments of calm companionship.Kylie’s journey from survival to thriving is a testament to her resilience and loving nature. She is looking for a forever home where she can continue to be the wonderful, affectionate dog that she is—bringing joy and warmth to those lucky enough to welcome her into their lives. She so deserves a life filled with attentiveness, long walks and endless affection.Check out her amazing video montages:https://youtube.com/shorts/j2nNz_fV3T8?si=03-nL-0KfFggo1t6https://youtube.com/shorts/IWMtgNsinHc?si=1q-g366O9GQGe9eTAnd her relaxing on the couch with her foster sibling:https://youtu.be/tvHNoRXBI6E?si=sLO-B6kBU6Ig0S4oName: KylieBreed: German Shepherd Dog/CrossbreedSex: FemaleAge: 3 years  (estimated)Weight: 67 lbs Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: on recent testing Microchipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 5Good with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: NoAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)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.  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 Rover...a big, happy, friendly, affectionate, playful 5 year old, 102 pound, 94.8% German Shepherd who is up for adoption.When rescued last August, he weighed only 66 pounds, very emaciated in his backyard. A foster stepped up and provided him a safe place to complete all the care all he needed. They gave him so much love he is now 102 pounds and a very happy boy. Now healthy and happy, he is so very playful and energetic. He even acts younger than his age, and he thinks he is a lap dog!!! He went through HW treatment with no issues and did very well when he had to be on restrictive play time. He does love to play but he also knows when he has had enough and will find a comfy spot to nap.Rover just loves people; he is a little ham who loves to go to the pet store and meet all the pet owners. Due to his size, and that he has never lived with a child, we feel he would be best with children over 7, after all, he loves laps!!He is great with dogs, he shares his foster with other dogs. He spotted the neighbor cat and started to chase, so he needs a home without a feline.Rover is already for a new family who can continue to show him love. He is house trained and crate trained, he will go in his crate just to nap. He will need continued leash training, he is 5 and has never had anything around his neck besides a heavy chain, so now he is learning what leashes are all about. He has make progress just needs you to continue helping him understand.He was a little nervous in a car at first, but is now better; laying down quickly once inside.Rover is truly a gentle giant who is so lovable and handsome. And those ears!!!!Can you give this great guy a home?Check out videos of this boy in action:https://youtube.com/shorts/lpIc1yGz3Rghttps://youtube.com/shorts/MLVK4fQHlmUhttps://youtube.com/shorts/AInZ-vHn7rIName: RoverBreed: German Shepherd DogSex: MaleAge: 5 yrs 7 months as of 2/27/25Weight: 102 lbs as of 2/27/25Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Positive on recent testing.  Has completed entire treatment!Microchipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 8Good with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: NoAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)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.  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 Cooper Cooper is a stunning and wonderful purebred 3.5 year old GSD. He came from a junk yard two years ago. He is an escape artist. He would do best with a single owner, and could use a job, sport, or some sort of work. He would excel at any assigned task. Cooper was adopted a year ago but sadly, his owner unfortunately experienced medical issues that required him to surrender Cooper back to Lincoln/Cumberland shelter. We met and assessed Cooper, who reminded me a lot of my son's retired military working dog. He will take a bit of time to warm up to a new person, but once he has, in the case of the shelter staff, he is happy and playful. We prefer an adopter to have GSD or Malinois experience. He is not a famly-type pet. Cooper needs a person who understands this type of dog and he needs. His hips look great, and we saw no concerning behaviors. Thank you for choosing rescue.

Arya is precious!! She’s a little girl,very shy and timid and scared until you get her out to play. She was so fearful and just coward down thinking I was going to hurt her once I got her out her little personality came out and she’s very playful and loved the toys and would come up and get lots of kisses, but would run and slow down and cower as she approaches you. SHE LOVES TO PLAY WITH TOYS. A volunteer has spent more time playing with her and trying to get her confidence up and she did great. She still is fearful but has a sweet gentle kind soul! She can be dominant. Now available for adoption.
