STAR - LOCAL White German Shepherd Mix Princeton, MA

Star was dumped at a high-kill shelter by her long-time owner -- he left her there crying and never looked back :( Star was in the shelter for several weeks only because the shelter workers loved her so much! Star is now at her foster home with numerous other dogs of all breeds and all personalities -- she's very calm and easygoing all the time. She's very good on a leash (not a puller or jerker). She's very shy right now and needs someone to show her how to have confidence. With some love and affection, she will be the most wonderful little girl in the world! She would love a warm, soft blanket and a warm snuggly dog bed to call her own -- she'd be wonderful with children and is very eager to please anybody that pays any attention at all to her :( Star is appx. 6-7 years old and weighs appx. 60 pounds. She is heartworm negative, spayed, current on vaccines and just a total LOVER GIRL!

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.
