he was dumped in the woods pregnant and hungry. Her foster mom would leave food out for her and gained her trust. When Carolee trusted her, she gathered up her 8 puppies and brought them to her yard. All of her puppies are in their forever home and now it is time for her Forever home.
Carolee is a very sweet dog. She loves all other dogs, cats and people once she knows them. She is a little shy at first, but once she gets to know them she is as gentle as they come. She scratches at the door to let you know she has to go potty, Her foster mom says she has the most beautiful spirit.
Please consider this gentle soul as your new family member. She deserves to be loved and cherished.
Update: Now in New England!
There is no sweeter dog than Carolee - after all she's been through she warms up quickly and has decided it's way better to trust her people than be afraid of them. She craves attention and will wrap herself around her peoples' legs as if to say "I'm here, don't forget me!" She gets along great with all the dogs in the house, is very friendly and welcoming to new dogs. We don't think Carolee would be happy being alone in the house all day, so a home with another dog or someone around more often to keep her company would be ideal. She makes an amazing blanket!
Walks? Loves them, great on leash
Car rides? Yes please!
Playful? Yes - with other dogs, people, whoever will give her attention.
Carolee is a very smart, happy and quiet girl; she'd love to find a family that will appreciate all she has to give, and give it right back to her. It's her turn - won't you be her forever family?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Interested in a specific dog, please fill out an application if you are interested in a dog. The number of individual inquiries is overwhelming and we are finding it difficult to respond to each one. We cannot guarantee you will receive a timely response.
Paws New England is a rescue, not a shelter, and as such we do not have our dogs housed in one location - they are in foster homes both in New England and in our southern foster homes. If you're interested in a specific dog, please complete a short online application and you will receive a reply within 48 hours so you can ask questions.
At present, if a dog is listed on our website, the dog is considered still available HOWEVER, may have applications that have come in before yours but it's still too early to know if any are a good match; therefore we encourage you to apply.
NOTICE WITH REGARD TO LOCATION OF DOGS: Please note: Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. We do not have a brick and mortar building to house the dogs we rescue. We have found that dogs in foster homes are much more adoptable because they have been observed in a home setting. Dogs listed with Paws New England typically reside in various locations throughout the south (primarily Tennessee, Texas, and Arkansas) and New England (not necessarily in the state of Rhode Island). You will be notified by the adoption coordinator of the location of the dog you are interested in so you have the ability to decide whether to pursue adoption or not.
Dogs transported to New England are done so at a fee of $150.00 paid directly to the transporting company by Paws New England; no additional transport costs are responsibility of adopter. This fee is included in the adoption donation.
Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.
Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your dog will help others in need.
All known information about the animal is listed above. We do our best to give accurate information, but most of our dogs are rescues and do not come with a known history.
Paws New England abides by the dog importation regulations set forth in the states of MA, CT, NH and RI.
