UPDATE: Adorable 35 lb angel. Darcy was rescued from a hoarding situation spending most of her time huddled in a dog house with her best friend Haylee (also listed). Currently, Darcy is living at a foster home with several other dogs that she gets along with fine. Darcy is a quiet non-barker that is just as happy to sit around on a rainy day, or go for a walk or romp in the back yard, very low maintenance and the perfect size. Darcy's foster mom calls her "a little lady" as that is quite frankly what she is. While still a bit shy and unsure, she has come out of her shell quite a bit since the arrival of her best friend Haylee. Darcy would make a perfect dog for the first time dog owner, retired couple, or someone living in an apartment/condo as she is low maintenance in every way. Darcy goes to work everyday with her foster mom where she is receiving lots of attention from the staff to encourage her confidence. Darcy has gone out to doggie daycare with 60 other dogs and had no issues at all. She has just begun working with a trainer for obedience training,and is crate trained, spayed and up to date on all vaccines. She truly is a little lady, and should not be overlooked.



We would love nothing more than for Darcy and Haylee to be able to go to a home together. Wouldn't you love your "ready to go" fur family? These two little girls adore each other and Darcy really comes out of her shell when Haylee is around. Of course, we will consider applications looking to adopt just one or the other, but will be prioritizing any family interested in adopting both girls.

Donation: $375.00, Adoption donation for Darcy and Haylee $600


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.
