Evie GUNSHOT SURVIVOR (LOCAL) Shepherd Mix Princeton, MA

We named her EVIE because it means "Life" :) She is appx. 3-4 years old and weighs 60 pounds, is spayed and current on vaccines. She will be starting heartworm treatment the first week of February.



Hi! My name is Evie and I am a Shepherd mix who is approximately three years old.


I am very quiet and calm. I can be a little shy at first, but I love to be loved. I lost my first family and while I was out looking a man shot me because I wandered onto his property. Even when I was hurting horribly from the wound, I never offered to be mean to anyone that was trying to help me.



My foster family says that I am extremely sweet and I am content to go for short walks and cuddle on the bed. Now that I have found a home again, I would rather be indoors and warm if at all possible. I love the children that I have been around and am great with cats and other dogs.



I am a little unsure of big dogs, but I am recovering from this wound, so maybe I just am afraid I might get hurt again. I usually just mutter under my breath and go back to my bed. I do not have to be crated because I never do anything at all. I have never had an accident in the house and I love my food and water feeders. I am a very good girl all the time.



Please consider adopting me and giving me the forever home that I was out looking for that day. Thank you for your consideration of me. Love, Evie.

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.
