SPOT #2 Local Bluetick Coonhound Princeton, MA

Handsome spotted boy who as you can see from one of the photos thinks he's a total lapdog!!!



Spot, a 3 year old Bluetick hound surrendered by his owner (with his brother Spot, also listed) because they wouldn't hunt!! Purchased them for this purpose and when they wouldn't hunt and kept running away, he decided it was time for them to go. One of our former adopters actually saw the two dogs out running one day and someone chasing them on a snowmobile - when he caught up to the dogs, he kicked them and was clearly angry.



Our adopter contacted us and asked if we'd take them and of course we said yes. PAWS never pays anyone to surrender their dogs but in this instance we paid $250.00 for both dogs because we wanted them out of there. We had them neutered and all their vaccinations done (never had any done) and they are good to go.



They are now safely in foster care, separated and doing great! Rocky is the more vocal of the two dogs and Spot the more laid back. Both are easy going, great in their fosters home and okay with cats (hence, the no hunting issue!)



Gorgeous pure bred hounds - not seen too often in rescue. Don't miss out on a great family dog. Great with the kids in the house too, super affectionate.

The adoption donation covers all pre-adoption vet costs (vaccinations, spaying/neutering (when age appropriate%29, heartworm testing/treatment when necessary and includes transportation up to New England ($125.00 per dog%29. 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 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%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.

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.
