Clair (CS) Pomeranian Princeton, MA

Meet Clair! Clair has had a rough start in life… she was taken from a backyard breeder who had more than 90 purebred dogs and puppies; it was a man and woman who were married and now are getting divorced - both moved out of their marital house and left all the dogs there. Now in foster care, Clair is finally getting the attention she needs.




She had a dental done and they had to pull 10 teeth! The vet said that Clair is approximately 9 years old but the kennel club registration papers from the breeder say that she is only FIVE YEARS OLD! To get an approximate age, the vet looks at the teeth; the teeth can get really bad due to old age OR neglect (like bad food, etc.). Clair does not look or act really old but her teeth said otherwise.




Clair is pretty shy when you first meet her but warms up after she realizes you won’t hurt her. She has obviously not had much human attention in the past but HASN’T shown any aggression whatsoever. She likes to give kisses and sit in your lap. Clair does fine with other dogs but – at the moment – isn’t much of a player. She would prefer a quieter lifestyle with people who will love her forever and ever. For this reason, we do not think Clair should be in a home with small children (not because she would do anything to them but because they would probably scare her). Won’t you consider adopting this oh-so-sweet, baby girl?!?!?!




Clair is a pure bred Pomeranian who is approximately 9 years old. She is 7.5 pounds, spayed, vaccines are current, and she is heartworm negative. She is on monthly heartworm and flea preventive.

Adoption Donation: $400



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.
