KANGA (LOCAL) Labrador Retriever Mix Princeton, MA

3/22/11 UPDATE FROM KANGA'S FOSTER MOM


Kanga has hopped her way to New England, she is a sweet and happy little girl.



She is doing very well with her house training, and would benefit with continued crate training. She is submissive with other dogs, a bit shy with people, but coming out of her shell by the minute.



Kanga sleeps quietly in her crate at night, eats well, has not had any accidents since coming to my house on 3/20/11. She has been out on a leash only and walks nicely next to me, without pulling.



She would probably do well with any family situation, but would LOVE to have a canine companion. At about 35 pounds she is the perfect easy dog size, she won't get much bigger. She seems to want to chase the cats( hey what pup doesn't) but Kanga does not have a high prey drive and she is living nicely with our felines.



If you have any questions regarding Kanga or our adoption process, please e-mail her foster mom at justonemoredog@yahoo.com

Kanga is very happy, friendly, and affectionate -- she LOVES belly rubs and kisses more than anything in the world! She is great with other dogs of all sizes and breeds at her very busy "fur friendly" foster home. She loves to play, has a wonderful disposition and personality, is very easygoing but happy and affectionate, too. She's got a typical happy-go-lucky Lab personality :) Kanga would be wonderful in a home with children and other dogs. She would also be great for an active family that likes to hike, walk, jog. Please open your heart and home to this pretty Southern Belle named Kanga so that she can finally have the wonderful forever family that she's only thus far been able to dream about having!



Adoption Donation: $400



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.
