Update from Cali's foster mom (2/20/12):


Cali is a huge love bug! She loves to cuddle on the couch and give kisses as often as possible. She is super friendly and loves meeting new people.


Her housebreaking is going great and she will be at 100% very soon. She knows her basic commands and is a quick study.


She will do anything for a cookie or belly rub and gets along well with other dogs. She is very quiet and rarely barks.


Cali is very well behaved and calm when indoors, but get her outside and she loves to run around and play! She adores rope toys and playing fetch, walks well on a leash, and loves to follow you around the house.


She is a true love and an awesome dog.


Prior bio:


Calliope is a quiet, timid girl who was found as a stray here in New England. She's currently boarded at one of our partner vets and is looking for a foster or adoptive home!



Update for Calliope (10/23/11):

Calliope is a lean love machine :). She enjoys snuggling. She loves to run and play with other dogs and gets along well with them. She covets rope toys and will jump high in the air for a rope if you throw it and will carry it around and shake it. She is great on a leash and walks best with a harness.



Calliope passed her cat test! She does not bark much at all. She loves people. She relaxes by laying down with her legs behind her and her belly flat on the ground-- so cute!


She weighs about 45 pounds.




Adoption Donation: $250.00



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.
