JOJO GOT A MUCH NEEDED "DENTAL CLEANING" on 3/16/10. He had a few teeth pulled but is doing GREAT!

Poor little Jojo was dumped at a high-kill shelter and as you can see from his before picture he hadn't been taken care of. Probably being left there was the best thing that ever happened to this little guy. He was covered in fleas and matted to the skin. We picked him up and took him straight to a groomer. Wow, did that put some bounce back into Jojo. He loves to run all over the yard, jumps up onto the bed and couch... is just full of energy. He loves to be held (of course) and really loves to roll over onto his back for you to rub his tummy. He is crate trained but really prefers cuddling in bed. He's not met a stranger from kids to adults and gets along with other dogs and cats. He knows his name and will come when called. He will need a dental cleaning. Because of his size we do not recommend he go to a family with small children in the household. Wouldn't you love to cuddle with this sweet lil man!

The adoption donation covers all pre-adoption vet costs (vaccinations, spaying/neutering (when age appropriate), heartworm testing/treatment when necessary and includes transportation up to New England ($125.00 per dog). 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 of New England is not a shelter but a rescue and thus is not funded by any city or state organization - we rely solely on the donations of our adopters to help defray the costs associated with saving these precious lives.

We are 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.
