PUGSLEY (JA)

Yes he can. Admit it, the first thing you thought of when you looked at him is, My Goodness, he looks like he's about to speak at any minute.....so yes, he can talk but only when he feels like it.

Pugsley is approx. 3 years old, weighing about 25 -30 lbs - more info coming soon - he is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations and is heartworm negative.

He was dumped on the side of the road and kept walking looking for his people-I will never understand how anyone can do that- just leave them in the road.

FROM HIS FOSTER MOM:
Pugsley was a sad little boy but he's way better now - this is from our rescuer who first saw him....: I was driving home a couple months ago from feeding some peoples animals while they were out of town. I saw him along the road I was on, and he had a collar on so I thought he was just out playing or some thing. With 60 dogs, I was hoping he had a home, and reluctant to pick him up. The next day I saw him again a little further down the road. He would always just slip off the road into the weeds when a car would come. My mind was thinking then and I kept saying to myself he'll be fine, I have too many. So on the third morning I was driving down the road and he was laying at the entrance to a long drive and it had taken him three days to make it that far; at some point he had crossed a bridge going over the highway, and I guess was so wore out he just layed down. I think some one had dumped him and he was trying to find his way back home. Well of course I stopped because at this point I figured he deserved and needed help badly. He got right in the car. I took him home and introduced him to all the other dogs, (which believe me is a shock to anything or anyone.) It was like he belonged here. No problems.

Don't you think he deserves a family who won't toss him away like yesterday's dinner???

PAWS of New England is not shelter but a rescue and thus is not funded by any city or state organization - we rely solely on the donations of our adopters to help defray the costs associated with saving these precious lives.

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.
