Freddie (Local!) Chihuahua Princeton, MA

Hi I'm Freddie!



I was living with a family that had a lot of changes happen in their lives and they decided it would be best for us to find a family that had more time to spend with me. I was well taken care of, but their schedules forced them to be away from home a lot, leaving me alone.



Freddie is pretty easy going and laid back. He gets along with other dogs, but he does not like big dogs. He loves attention but will not bug you for it. He likes to play tug of war & fetch but doesn't bring the toy back yet. He loves to steal toys from is foster sister! He very undemanding and mellow.




I like to chase the kitties in my foster home - seeing them run makes me feel like a big brave boy! So, if you have a not so nice kitty at home, I might not be the best match - I could probably get hurt if I tried to chase the wrong cat ;)

Freddie is 9 years old, ~12 lbs



He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and on monthly heartworm preventative.



If you would like to give this sweet boy a home where he can be loved and cuddled and cherished, please visit our website and fill out an application.

Adoption Donation: $250



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.
