JAZZ (LOCAL) Boxer & Shepherd Mix EAST HAMPTON, CT

Chico and his little sister JAZZ are owner surrenders from a very poor woman who lived in a ghetto neighborhood of Memphis -- her landlord found out she had the dogs and was going to make her take them to a kill shelter so she desperately contacted our group.





Jazz is an almost 1 year old pretty brindle girl boxer/terrier mix who has been fostering in New England for quite some time - her foster mom wanted to adopt her but we think Jazz would be happier in an only dog home - she originally had some difficulty at the dog park with other dogs but her foster mom has worked on this and she's had some very successful trips lately!! WE love that. But, she's had some difficulty lately with the other dog in her in the home so perhaps best for her to be the only dog.

She is spayed, has gotten all of her vaccinations, and she is heartworm negative. She is crate trained and house trained.

Her current foster mom thinks she is the sweetest little girl and absolutely loves to cuddle with you and is not shy. She will curl right up with you if you want to take a nap or when your going to bed for the night. She sleeps through the night out of her crate and is fine, typically not needing to be let out at all till the morning. She can gnaw on her bone for hours if you let her and is food motivated, knows sit, stay and paw. She will not begin eating her food until you give her the “OK!”. Outside she is pretty good off leash and will stay right around you, although she is confident so will wander if you are not watching her. She is truly a wonderful pup and her foster mom is in no rush to let her go except to the right family who is ready to love her as much as she will love you!

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.



PAWS of New England is not a 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.



ALL KNOWN INFORMATION IS LISTED HERE. We do our best to give accurate information, but most of our dogs are rescues and do not come with a known history.
