Olive and Ollie (Mom and Son) LOCAL Schnauzer & Labrador Retriever Mix Princeton, MA

Olive and Ollie (schnauzer mom/son)



I’m Olive, @ 8-9 year-old, adorable 30 pound chocolate brown female schnauzer and Ollie, my 7 year-old 35 pound son (schnauzer/lab mix). Our family moved out of town and couldn’t take us, so we were taken to the shelter. A nice lady spotted us and saw how sweet and friendly we are. She came back the next day and took us home with her (we are so happy!). We are both housetrained and crate trained. We are excellent on leashes and our favorite activity is to go for walks/hikes. We are PERFECT in the house (no chewing at all) and sleep all night on our dog beds. We currently live with 2 other dogs, 3 cats. We love children and never meet a stranger. We respond to verbal commands and sit for our food/treats. We are spayed/neutered, up do date on shots; Olive underwent heartworm treatment in early February and is doing great. We would love to stay together but we could be adopted separately (reduced fee for adoption together). If you don’t have time to train a dog, we are the dogs for you. If you are interested in us, please contact my foster mom.

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.
