Story
This brindle bully is Bella. She is one of a few dogs that has resided with one of our southern trainers for quite some time. Despite having some issues that make her a bit less adoptable, this pup still deserves a home where she is loved and her needs can be met. And having a trainer as a foster mom is a huge plus!!!Bella is very sweet, but also can be a bit sassy and bossy. Despite that, she has been been tugging at her fosters heart strings for a very long time. She would have definitely been a foster fail if she was not living in an environment with new dogs coming and going almost everyday.Bella is the perfect 50 pound lap dog. She does not understand the concept of personal space and will try to get in your lap at all costs, especially if you are her level.Even though, she has played well with carefully selected dogs, she will not roll over if that dog is overbearing or tries to correct her, Therefore, being an only dog would be ideal. She is not the girl who can go to a doggie daycare either so she would require a home that will exercise her and a fenced yard where she could run would be a bonus. At her age, she'd probably prefer being the only diva in the house. She's done fine with people and older children, so long as they're willing to give her some butt scratches. No cats or young kids.Bella is very obedient, very affectionate and routine oriented. She also crates fine. She does have a habit of jumping up and nose-butting your chin if she thinks her petting session is done (I want more loving please!). She has learned not to do that with foster mom, but will test the waters with new people.Name: BellaBreed: Pit Bull Terrier/CrossbreedSex: FemaleAge: 8 years 4 months  (estimated as of 10/23/24)Weight: 50.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 12Good with Dogs: NoGood with Cats: NoAdoption Fee: $250.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:  Memphis  TN IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and 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
This handsome senior is Roscoe. He is one of a few dogs that has resided with one of our southern trainers, Desiree, for quite some time. Despite having some issues that make him a bit less adoptable, this guy still deserve a home where he is loved and his needs can be met. And having a trainer as a foster mom is a huge plus!!!Roscoe is truly very special to her. He was found weighing 38 lbs (about half of what he should have weighed) and needed assistance walking due to his body condition. He also had heavy heartworm, but has shown zero complications after treatment. After months and months of TLC, he is now a confident, outgoing, loving, playful (you wouldn't know he was a senior) boy.He's great with all people, but would get under foot with children. In all his years he has yet to realize he should bounce less around the small two legged. As big and goofy as he is, he's actually pretty sensitive, god forbid he stubs his toe!) When you reach down to pet him, he'll tuck himself into this tiny little ball like you're trying to attack him-but that's just how he prefers to be scratched. Typical PBM zoomies included at no extra charge- yep all 4 left feet of em!!!He likes to play ball and tug, great in the car, fine in the crate, would need supervision early on in a new environment to prevent marking. He's not been destructive with toys, but will chew out of boredom. However, he takes very well to correction (NO!) and understands quickly.Roscoe is just fine as an only dog, as long as you give him lots of love and some exercise. He will be yourabsolute best friend.Name: RoscoeBreed: Pit Bull Terrier/ American Bulldog Mix (he's taller than he looks in pictures)Sex: MaleAge: 9 years 9 months as of 10/23/24Weight: 60.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 12Good with Dogs: NoGood with Cats: NoAdoption Fee: $250.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:  Memphis  TNIMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and 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
Rhett, just a good ole' boy seeking a new life in New England!Rhett found himself in need of a new home when his original owner could no longer care for him. At just two years old, Rhett is still young but has outgrown his puppy craziness.He's crate trained and making strides with housetraining, showing promising progress. With a medium energy level, Rhett enjoys winding down after play sessions and simply chilling out.Rhett isn't the type to be in your face; he's a bit timid around new people but is generally very friendly and submissive. He thrives on playing with his foster siblings, especially enjoying the role of big brother to puppies. While he would appreciate having a dog friend to hang out with, it's not a requirement for him.He's a calm companion in the car, content to ride along without any fuss.Rhett is ready to embark on his next adventure in a loving forever home. Could yours be the one he's been waiting for?

He’ll wait patiently for the “okay” before eating, lets you know when he needs to go out by nudging his leash, and sits politely when you pick up his leash, knowing it’s almost time for a walk.We can’t wait to find Cowboy a home where he’ll be the star.

Story
Meet Princessa, a sweet 3-year-old pup with a heart full of love and a past that makes her all the more special. Originally a stray momma from the streets of Memphis, TN, Princessa has come a long way from her tough beginnings. Now, she's living the good life in New England with her amazing foster family, where she’s learning to thrive and showing just how wonderful she can be.Princessa is well on her way to being the perfect companion. She’s crate trained and housebroken, making her a great addition to any home. She knows some basic commands like Sit, Down, Here, Touch, and Crate. She's working on mastering Place and Stay, and while she’s eager to greet new people with excitement (maybe a little too much—she’s working on not jumping!), her love for humans knows no bounds.As a former stray, Princessa can be a bit reactive on the leash when encountering other dogs, mostly due to her over-the-top excitement. But don't worry—she's actively working on improving that behavior with her foster family’s help.Princessa would do best as the only pet in the home, as she loves all the attention she can get! She’s fantastic with people of all ages and is sure to bring joy and loyalty to a loving family. If you're looking for a dog who's not only beautiful inside and out but also eager to learn and grow, Princessa might just be the princess you've been waiting for.Name: PrincessaBreed: Pit Bull TerrierSex: FemaleAge: 3 years  (estimated)Weight: 65Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative at last testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Older, has done well with proper introductionsGood with Dogs: Best as an only dog.Good with Cats: Unknown, but probably not.Adoption Fee: $350.00  Location of dog currently:  New EnglandIMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and 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.

Rubble on the double! I am a goofy guy with tons of energy to offer. Running around is one of my favorite hobbies, incorporate toys and we've got a real good thing going! I'm friendly, too, and a good scratch on the bum will make us instantly best friends. I am guaranteed to make someone very happy, and if you give me a chance, it could be you!I get along well with other dogs, kids I'd prefer be over the age of 12. An active home or someone with a backyard for me to burn my energy in would be ideal! I'd love to be a hiking, beach-going, snow-plowing buddy!
