ung lab girl needs. She asked her vet for help and she contacted one of our foster moms and we said we would be happy to assist. We promised her that we would find Ziva a suitable loving home to reside.
Ziva was initially adopted as a rescue from AK about a year ago. She is a happy healthy 2 year old lab mix and a great size at 40 pounds. Ziva has a fenced yard to play, but spends most of her time in the house. When she does have a playmate, either human or canine, she is in her glories!! She loves to run and is in amazing shape! It is a joy to watch her.
Ziva is puppy-like in that she has to be reminded not to jump and she needs a good course in leash training. But she is smart as a whip and very treat motivated, so the process should go smoothly. She already knows sit, paw and wait. We also believe that once she gets the exercise that she needs, her excitability level will soften.
Ziva is completely housetrained and she stays in her covered crate when left at home alone. She also loves snoozing on the couch and is a great cuddler. She has a doggie couch that is her "bed" at night.
Ziva was not socialized much, so she is initially a little shy upon first meetings, but warms up quickly. She does take a bit more time to warm up to men, so slow introductions are recommended to ease her initial fear.
Fenced yard highly recommended, but not required.

BASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:

Good with Dogs: Yes-gets along with active dogs who love to run and play. Would love a playmate!
Good with Cats: Currently lives with cat, who she ignores, which indicates she may do well with another feline friend after slow & proper introductions.

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.
