This is Jack and Jill. They are new to our rescue, we pulled them from the shelter on 5/15/09 and went to the vet for checkup and vaccines on 5/15/09. They are not old enough to be spayed/neutered right now.
Jill is the black and tan and she weighs 18 pounds. Jack is the tan and he weighs 17-1/2 pounds. They are about 9 weeks old as of 5/15/09 per the vet. They will likely be at least 100 pounds each when full grown. They do not have to be adopted together.
They are both doing so good in their foster home and play very well with the 7 other dogs there. They love to play wrestle with each other and they sleep in their crates like little babies all night long. Both of these babies are amazingly already housetrained and use a doggy door to go outside and do their business and come back inside.
Adoption Donation: $400 each

THIS PUPPY IS NOT ALTERED - PAWS NE will assist adopters with low cost spay/neuter program and refund $60.00 toward the cost of surgery once proof of spay/neuter is provided. Adopter(s) will be required to sign a spay/neuter contract.
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 ($125.00 per dog). Unless otherwise stated, all of our dogs are located outside of Rhode Island boarded either at one of our vet clinics or in foster care. 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 one 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 it. 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.
