Irene - LOCAL! Beagle Princeton, MA

Meet beautiful Irene! She is a sweet senior girl looking for a new place to call home. Her current family is very busy and unable to give her the attention that she deserves, thus she is searching for a new place to call home. Irene hails from a farm in NH where she was used as a hunting dog. She was too close to a gunshot one day, got spooked and would not hunt again. She was then adopted by her current family whom she lived with for the last five years



Irene is a purebred tri-colored beagle who has an AKC official measurement card which states she is 13" as well as an AKC number. Irene is fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, heartworm negative and on monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative. She weighs 29.7 lbs.



Irene is fantastic with everyone; children, cats and other dogs! She just needs a home where she's able to run around with other dogs and basically be a dog! Irene does require a yard that is fully fenced. She is a fairly timid girl, is not a barker or howler and has a low to medium energy level. She has never been a dog who likes toys all that much and prefers to chew on a good stick.



Adoption donation: $200

If you have any questions please email this dog's adoption coordinator: paws.jenn@gmail.com

If you are interested in adopting or would like more information about PAWS New England, please check our website:

The adoption donation covers all pre-adoption vet costs (vaccinations, spaying/neutering, HW test/treatment, etc.%29 and includes their transportation up to New England. PAWS New England is not 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. Unless otherwise stated, all of our dogs are located in Tennessee at our vet clinic's boarding facility or in foster care. If a dog is ""local"", that means he or she is at one of our foster homes in New England.

We know you are wondering, ""Why would you charge %u2018so much%u2019 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%29 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%3B 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.
