Labrador Retriever Dogs For Adoption in Warwick, RI, USA

Posted Breed: Labrador Retriever. Sweet Dixie Roo was found on a farm in Arkansas after a devastating tornado had come through! Who knows how long she had been on her own or how far she had traveled!

She enjoyed the freedom of the farm that she was found on but unfortunately she has a thing for cows- chasing them to be exact- and was once again on the search for her forever home! Thankfully a PAWS volunteer heard about Dixie and she is now a PAWS girl! This sweet girl is shy at first but quickly warms up to her people. She enjoys sleeping in bed with her humans but understands that she sometimes needs to sleep in her own bed. She is house trained and will let you know when she needs to go out. She loves being an inside dog and loves hanging out the house. She is working on leash training and training in her foster home. Dixie would love an active family with a fenced yard and a big bed! Please consider adding this love bug to your home! **Update 9/17 Dixie Roo has completed her hw treatment. She likes to have her tummy and head rubbed. Very quiet and laid back lab. Has been couch potato here, but needs exercise. She LOVES to go on walks and car rides! Still shy around new people, but comes around. Name: Dixie Roo Breed: Labrador Retriever Sex: Female Age: 4 years Weight: 68 pounds Spayed/Neutered: Yes Vaccinations: Up to date Microchipped: Yes BASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS: Good with Children: Unknown- based on personality would be fine around older kids. Good with Dogs: Yes- gets along with all dogs big and small! Good with Cats: No Adoption Donation: 450.00 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.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
