Weight: 15.5 lbs.
Sawyer will be scheduled the first week of January for his neuter, vaccines, and heartworm test

Sweet little Sawyer, as calm as can be, was found in a ditch after he'd apparently been grazed by a car. We immediately took him to the vet and amazingly he only had a small abrasion on his tail and one little one in his mouth. Other than that he was VERY sore for several days. There has been no flyers, no ads, no concern of anyone looking for this little boy. But then again we expected that because he didn't have a collar, was very dirty, and very thin. For the first several days this boy ate like it was his last meal but not anymore. He now knows that he's safe and sound, that food will always be available, and that he's loved! Sawyer sleeps in a crate at night and plays all day with other dogs of all sizes - up to 51 lbs. He loves to cuddle in your lap and be petted or brushed. Won't you invite Sawyer into your home so he can have the forever home he deserves!

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.
