Story
Fairy, is12 years young, and she still has plenty of love and life to share! This gentle lady is a seasoned pro at enjoying simple pleasures, like lounging in a cozy, warm bed. She’s a quiet and affectionate companion, thriving in a peaceful environment where she can rest and be pampered.Fairy is polite on the leash and enjoys short strolls as long as she has the warmth of a soft coat. She’s not as interested in playtime as she used to be, but she does get along well with other dogs, respecting their space and enjoying quiet companionship.Her golden years have been marked with a few health changes, but Fairy doesn’t mind—she’s adapted well to a softer diet due to her dental disease, which will be addressed before adoption, and she’s still as sweet as ever with the few teeth she has left. Fairy’s ideal home is one where she can enjoy the company of a loving person who will give her the attention and affection she craves. She absolutely loves being held, and there’s nothing better than curling up with her favorite person. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-maintenance companion to share your quiet moments, Fairy could be the perfect fit!Name: FairyBreed: Jack Russell Terrier/CrossbreedSex: FemaleAge: 12 years  (estimated)Weight: 14lbs Spayed/Neutered: NoVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm:  Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS: Good with Children: UnknownGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: UnknownAdoption Fee: $350.00  (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
Our B litter is ready for adoption! This sweet litter of pups are about 9-10 weeks, born around mid-November 2024. These puppies are some of the lucky ones – a good Samaritan saw a mangy, starving dog eating scrap someone threw out in a back corner of a Mexican restaurant by a dumpster. She couldn’t turn away. The good Samaritan was going to just help mom, when she realized mom looks to have just had puppies. It’s like the momma dog knew someone was there to help, and she turned away from the scrap food and started walking down the street. The good Samaritan followed this momma dog for almost 2 miles to a home, where when they walked up, 7 puppies came running out from under the house (see video!) The homeowner didn’t claim mom or puppies, nor did she want anything to do with them. She refused to feed them or offer them shelter. It took some time, but after a few days, we were able to get all 7 pups and mom to safety. Mom is about 32 lbs and has a wire-hair coat, we have named her Lainey and she will also be available for adoption soon. We do not know who dad is. We believe pups will vary in size with the 2 runts (Baby ad Belle) staying smaller than the others – but generally we believe they will stay around 40 lbs. Please keep in mind that these puppies had minimal human interaction until a few weeks ago, but they are now in their prime age for impression, training and growing in a home to learn from. They all would do wonderfully with well-behaved children, other dogs and cats. They did not chase stray cats at the home they were at and they LOVE other dogs. Here’s a breakdown of the litter and some information on each one: All weights are as of 1/19/25 Baby – Male Runt – 7.5 lbs – Black and white (tri color) – Semi wirehair and very short hair – does not seem to shed much, if at all – Very playful. Very outgoing. Fun to watch play as he is so much tinier than the other pups. Daring. First pup to try anything. Aims to please. Wants to be next to you and get lots of love and love you. All homes would be ideal, all ages of children would be great for Baby. Belle – Female Runt – 4.4 lbs – Black and White – Wirehair – Does not seem to shed – She is quite timid but friendly and does come around. Will make the best baby. She defends herself against all the other bigger pups. Fierce and won’t let anyone pick on her. Is learning to play with toys. Could be a lap dog with lots of patience. Minimal-mild active home that is patient. Beau – Male – 10.2 lbs – Brown and White – Wirehair – Does not seem to shed – Needs someone with some patience. He is a bit timid and would rather watch everyone else play before joining. He would do best with another dog in the home. Beau is learning to trust people and his surroundings. Minimal-Mild Active home that is patient. Bree – Female – 11.4 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – She is a hoot to have around. She loves to talk to you and is very vocal. She doesn’t mind telling you how she feels. She’s more of a leader and she keeps all the other puppies in check and in their place. If any of them start bickering, Bree will be there to break it up. She’s not afraid to test the waters and try anything new. A bit shorter of legs and stocky build. A more active home is preferred. Blue – Male – 12.4 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – This gentle giant boy is so sweet. He is the biggest of the litter. He is very curious but won’t try anything first. He will stand back and watch. He is learning to trust humans and his surroundings. Very smart. Blue would be great with another dog to teach him or someone willing to put in the time and patience for training and socialization. Would love someone to force cuddles on him so he can learn to fully love people. Not a mean bone in his body. Mildly active home ideal, with patience. Biscuit – Male – 11.1 lbs – Brown and White – Wire Hair – Does not seem to shed – This lover boy is the most timid of the group of pups. The foster left him with his mom so she can help build his confidence and not be bullied by his siblings. He is very submissive. Needs a family or person that is patient, kind and understands he does need socialization and lots of love. Ideally no young children given how timid he is. Bear – Male – 11.3 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – One of the most outgoing pups of the litter! He is one of the few that came around super quickly and is super lovable, huggable and amazing all around. He LOVES to be held in your arms and rocked like a baby or just carried around. He would rather be with you than anywhere else. His next favorite thing is belly rubs. He will roll over in a heartbeat to get some belly rubs and stay there until you can’t anymore. He is a very relaxed pup and doesn’t run around too much. Chill. Mildly active home and all age children would be perfect. All of these puppies will make wonderful and loyal companions. Please watch the video to see mom when she was first found, to when the good Samaritan found the house, to the puppies safe and sound and enjoying their first toys. All puppies are current on age appropriate vaccinations, preventions, dewormer, microchipped and will receive a clean bill of health from a veterinarian prior to receiving the animal.

Rocco Provac is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home! Rocco is a Jack Russell Terrier, estimated to be 2 to 3 years old, with energy to spare! This spirited little guy plays well with others and knows some commands. He’s house and crate trained, making him a great companion. While Rocco adores cuddles, he can be a bit protective of his food, so he’ll need to be fed separately. If you’re looking for a lively, affectionate pup to brighten your days, Rocco is your guy!

Story
Age:   approx 2 years old   Weight: 28  lbs My adoption fee is $475   which includes transportation charges to the Northeast. Dukesy is an indoor boy that was being left outdoors by his last owner, so up and over the fence he would go to find his own friends. Unfortunately his current owners weren't home enough to keep him and opted to surrender him. In foster we have learned that Dukesy is crate trained and housetrained. He is off with any dog he plays with. He runs up with a stout meet and play and off they go ! We have also learned that he LOVES bunnies. Typical of his breed mix of Jack Russell/Beagle. He LOVES traveling, LOVES people and LOVES living life ! He is a best friend and confidant. He's a right hand buddy for sure. This one eyed bandit is ready for his forever home. (We do not know how he lost his eye but it was surgically removed).   If you serious about adopting, the first step is to fill out an adoption application on our website:   https://www.smalldogrescuene.org/December 29, 2024, 6:17 pm
