Hi,
My name is Shadow, a 35 pound doxie/lab mix male, @ 4-5 years old, very playful, well mannered dog. My previous owner moved to an apartment and left me behind at the shelter and this nice lady saw me and rescued me. Shadow fits me perfectly because I follow my foster mom around all the time. I love people, kids, and other dogs. I live with 3 cats but sometimes like to chase them for fun. I am housetrained and have been neutered most of my adult life. I prefer to be inside the house with my family. I am very athletic and agile and I like playing with toys. I love riding in the car and if a door is open, I jump right in. I sometimes like to sleep at the foot of my mom’s bed and sleep all night long. I go outside without requiring a leash and come back to the door and bark to come back in. I would make a perfect family dog with kids and/or another family pet. Please consider me for your family – I won’t disappoint you. I am heartworm negative and up to date on shots, micro chipped, and ready to join a family ASAP :)


With my gorgeous jet black hair, i've heard some of the rescue ladies say that I remind them of some guy named Elvis, whoever that is! So HURRY, FILL OUT THAT APPLICATION RIGHT NOW, AND YOU CAN BE HOLDING THIS HUNKA BURNIN' LOVE (i.e. me) THIS WEEKEND! ;)



Adoption Donation: $450.00



Interested in adopting this wonderful dog? Please visit our website and complete an online adoption application.
http://www.pawsnewengland.com/adoption-form/


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 at $140.00 per dog.




Please remember these are rescued dogs, not dogs coming from a breeder or behavior academy. They may have issues that can be worked with - we do our best to determine these ahead of time. Please do not expect them to be perfect. They are not, neither are we - that's why we love them so much!!!




UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED, ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF RHODE ISLAND BOARDED EITHER PRIVATE FOSTER HOMES OR TRAINING FACILITIES. 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 vet care, and many people will want to adopt it; an older dog 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 him/her. 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.
