Meet Colby (Local)

Ladies, are you searching for the best kisser? Colby is your man!

Colby is a funny little terrier mix with a big personality! He is an active dog and would love to accompany you on runs, hikes, or agility training. He has already begun agility and is loving it! He has some basic obedience training and is house trained, crate trained, and ready to be your new best friend.

He enjoys cuddling in bed with his foster mom and dad, playing with his foster siblings, and can best be described as a joy to have!

He tends to be a little fearful upon initially meeting new people, but has come a quite a way with his training. He is searching for a quiet home where he can continue to thrive and gradually expand his circle of friends. Once he trusts you, he is ALL yours. Colby loves playing with other dogs and is always up for a game of fetch!

He is approximately 2 years old and is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is also house trained and beautifully crate trained!

Colby is fostering with a trainer currently and is working on his social skills. He is doing remarkably well with this and will come with extensive post-adoption support from his foster/trainer to ensure a smooth transition.

Please consider giving this wonderful dog the home he deserves!

Donation: $200.00 (includes $140.00 transport fee paid directly to USDA approved transport company where applicable).

Interested in adopting this fantastic canine? Please visit our website and complete an online application – we respond much quicker to applications than to emails as we receive a voluminous amount of email each day and it’s impossible to respond to all of them in a timely manner even though we try.
Application: http://www.pawsnewengland.com/adoption-form/

An application does not mean you are required to adopt – it just lets us know you are seriously considering this dog for adoption.

PET INSURANCE: Paws New England as recently joined VCA Animal Hospitals in a program providing new adopters with a certificate for an initial health exam at a VCA Hospital and treatment of certain conditions free of charges for the first 5 days. This is a great program and PAWS is thrilled to be participating in for our adopter. There are also numerous other pet insurance programs available to shelter animals.

QUARANTINE: Paws New England participates and abides by the quarantine rules and regulations set forth in the states of MA, CT, RI.

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.

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.
