J-LO (JP)

This little cutie-pie is named J-LO and she was born on 12/9/09 to her starving sweet mother who was digging through snow-covered trashcans on the side of a country road in search of food to feed her ever-growing belly because she was desperate, alone and fully of 10 little lives. Her foster mom just could not drive past sweet Sybil (the babies' mother) and leave to freeze and starve to death. Within a couple of hours, Sybil gave birth to all her babies and she has been a wonderful mother. She has seven babies that are growing by leaps and bounds, she has spoiled them very much and is a very good mother to them.

These sweet siblings (a trio of enormous baby girls) has had two sets of vaccines and are ready to travel north to find their forever families right away!

The adopters will be required to sign and abide by a spay/neuter clause in the adoption contract because these babies are much too young to be spayed or neutered.

This is one J-LO and she weighs 41 pounds on 3/12/10

Adoption Donation: $450 inclusive of transport $125

THIS PUPPY IS NOT ALTERED - any dog under 6 months of age is too young to be altered. Tufts Veterinary School has several programs for rescued dogs including a free spay/neuter clinic during certain times of the year and a Friday spay/neuter clinic at VERY discounted prices; we are happy to arrange the Friday appointment and cover the cost of the procedure. If you wish to have the surgery done by your own veterinarian, PAWS NE will refund the adopter $60.00 toward surgery once proof of the alteration is provided. Adopter will be required to sign a spay/neuter contract.

Unless otherwise stated, all of our dogs are located outside of Rhode Island boarded either at one of our vet clinics or in foster care. If a dog is listed as "local," he /she is at one of our foster homes in New England.

PAWS NE is often asked, "Why would you charge "so much" for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support all rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in (discounted) vet care, and many people will want to adopt it. An older one with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation; yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption fees. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible.

ALL KNOWN INFORMATION IS LISTED HERE. We do our best to give accurate information, but most of our dogs are rescues and do not come with a known history.
