Forever Home Rescue New England is an all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c)3 rescue group. Our mission is to find loving forever homes for homeless and unwanted dogs that we have rescued from high kill shelters or abusive and neglectful situations. We are based and registered in the state of Massachusetts and we follow all of our state's guidelines for bringing in dogs from out of state. Any of our dogs can be adopted to any other state as well. When choosing a rescue, if you are a MA resident, be sure to check whether you can pick up your dog within the state of MA or whether you will be asked to cross state lines to get your rescue dog. If you are asked to pickup out of state, that rescue may not be registered in MA and not following our state's requirements for entering dogs. It's best to choose a registered rescue, based locally, where you'll have local volunteers as a resource upon and after adoption. Our dogs are all examined by a Massachusetts veterinarian who examines each dog after they enter MA, prior to going to homes, as required by the state.

Who we are
Forever Home Rescue New England is a volunteer-run group that:
Our mission is to find loving forever homes for the dogs we rescue.
In the southern states where we find our dogs, the current laws do not favor animal rights. Abandoned, stray, and unwanted dogs are often euthanized after just a three day stay at a shelter, due to lack of room. Many of these dogs are sweet, loving animals. But they have been left to roam, are lost with no one trying to find them, or are dumped by the side of the road due to lack of owner commitment.
All of our posted dogs are currently living in our network of foster homes in the South and in New England, being lovingly cared for while they await their forever homes. Their fosters have a chance to observe them in all types of situations with children, other dogs, with cats so that we can determine if a dog has any issues that would make it suitable for only certain types of homes.
As of May, 2009, we have also begun taking local dogs through the PILOT program in MA (Pets in Limbo Out There) to help rehome some of our local pets displaced by the current economy.
And, as of July, 2009, we have begun a fund within the rescue to help pay the veterinary fees for dogs who have been turned down by other rescues due to injuries. These are dogs who are otherwise healthy and loving animals who, after surgery and rehab will still make wonderful pets. Part of our mission is to help heal these dogs and match them up with loving new families. We are in process of recruiting special foster homes to help in the physical rehab of these dogs. If you wish to donate to this fund, please click on the donate button on the left on our home page. Thank you!
Please enjoy reading about each of the wonderful dogs we have posted and consider whether you can provide one of them a loving forever home.
Joanne, Terry, Linda, Kathy, Marie, Christine, and Julie
The name of our rescue says it all. Our goal is to find our dogs permanent loving homes, where they will be treated as a member of the family for the rest of their lives. As such, we will be happy to work with you to help you find the right dog for your family.
Our adoption fees, which include transportation, all necessary veterinarian fees, spay/neuter procedures, and quarantine charges, generally range from $350 to $450.
The process
• Complete and submit the online adoption application . Please tell us about yourself so that we can do our best to ensure we match you with the best dog for you. We will check your references and process your application.
• If youve been approved as an adopter, and the dog is in a foster home in the Northeast, we will contact you to set up a time and location to meet the dog. Youll be asked to sign an adoption contract and to pay the adoption fee prior to bringing the dog home with you.
• If youve been approved as an adopter, and the dog is in the South, we will make the arrangements to bring the dog to the Northeast. Youll be asked to sign an adoption contract and to pay the adoption fee prior to bringing the dog home with you.
Making sure its a lasting relationship
There is a two week trial period for every adoption. If you find within the two weeks that the dog doesnt fit well into your home, he or she will be moved into foster care and the adoption fee minus $100 will be refunded.
Transportation information
Cost is included in the adoption fee. PETS LLC, a transport service consisting of an air-conditioned horse-trailer, travels from the south to New England almost weekly, arriving in New England on Saturdays. We will give you a ballpark pickup time but the transporters generally contact you the Friday evening prior to arrival with a closer estimate of the pick up time.
Dogs and pups being adopted into MA must fulfill our states required two-day quarantine requirement at our quarantine site at 106 Adams Street in Medfield, MA, before going to their homes. In MA, adoption times are generally 3:30-6pm on Mondays at 106 Adams Street.
When the time comes, we will provide you with all the instructions, times, locations and directions for picking up your dog.
Become a Foster
Would You Like to be a Foster Parent for a Rescue Dog?
We are in need of volunteer foster families for our Forever Home Rescue dogs coming from the south each week. Our dogs are rescued from overpopulated shelters where dogs are euthanized if homes are not found for them. We like to bring a few dogs north each week to homes in New England where prospective adopters can meet the dog prior to deciding whether to adopt. We can arrange transportation for the dog to your home if it is not possible for you to pick the dog up at the transport (RI and CT) or at the MA quarantine facility. We then send prospective adopters to meet the dog at your home at times that are convenient for you. Most of the time the first applicant we send ends up taking the dog home! The average length of time that a dog stays in a foster home is two to three weeks (much less for pups, a little longer sometimes for older dogs). If you had to go away, we can arrange to move the dog to another foster.
If you would like to become a foster parent, please download the foster application and mail it to the address at the top. If you have any questions about becoming a foster parent, you can email us .
Thank you for even considering fostering!
Our next open house will be Monday, January 9 from 3-5pm at 106 Adams St, Medfield, MA 02052. We still have some dogs waiting in foster homes in the area. Please look at Sandy, Binky, Lil Bit, Crickett, Baylee, Little Boy, Lovey Girl, Mimi, Fergie, Boomer, Roxie and Dixie. Please also check out our remaining prison dog RoseyPosey. They are all marked 'update' on our website and you can meet them at their foster homes or at the prison once you've filled out the application and get approved to adopt. Please apply for your favorite dog or puppy now!
Our adult dogs generally come housetrained, even if they have been living outdoors in the south. They are used to doing their business outdoors, so once they are shown the ropes in their new home they catch on quickly. We also have a good idea of their personalities and can help match you to the 'right' dog.
If you would like to get 'pre-approved' to adopt and be able to take home a dog on an open house day, please fill out the online application in any of our dogs' postings and fill in 'adoption event' for the dogs name, unless you already know which dog you would like to apply for. Our dogs and puppies are best suited for families with children 5 yrs old and up.
Please go to Available Dogs to read about all of our available dogs.
Prison Dog Program
Our latest adventure is to start a prison dog program where we team up with a prison and have our rescue dogs benefit from fostering and training by the inmates. Our good friend and foster, Michelle Riccio, started this program. She applied for and won a $25,000 grant from Pepsi, thanks to all the voting all of you did over several months for this. The program is called "Dont Throw Us Away" and the first prison which enthusiastically stepped up to the plate to take on this program was NCCI,Gardner MA. The program began in April, 2011 and we are now into our 4th training cycle. These dogs undergo training in good citizenship by the inmates for 8 weeks, at the end of which, the dogs all know basic commands and good manners. We charge slightly higher than usual adoption fees for these dogs, since they will have received a foundation of good training at the program. The 3rd cycle of dogs has graduated but Gretta's adoption fell through so she is still available. She is a wonderful dog! The 4th cycle has begun. Dogs in this cycle are Susie (spoken for), Rango (spoken for), Byram (from Cycle 3, now adopted), Gretta (from Cycle 3, now adopted), Rosey Posey, Sadie, and Cash. The Cycle 4 graduation is scheduled for January 8, 2012 but Cash and Sadie already graduated from Cycle 3 so they are ready to go home at any time. We will be holding an open house on January 2 from 1-3pm at 106 Adams St, Medfield, MA so that people can meet the three remaining prison dogs. If you apply and are approved to adopt any of these dogs, you can watch your chosen dog do his/her graduation 'test' on January 8 and take the dog home that day. Please feel free to apply now for any of these wonderful dogs. If you'd like more info about prison dog programs in general, you can click on any of the 4 videos below.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
FAQs
Questions about adoption
What kind of dogs do you have for adoption?
We are an all breed rescue, and our dogs range from twelve week old puppies to very large dogs of all ages.
What are the costs involved in adopting a dog from Forever Home Rescue New England?
Our adoption fees, which include transportation, all necessary veterinarian fees, spay/neuter procedures, and quarantine charges generally range from $350 to $450.
Is there a deposit?
If you wish to adopt one of our dogs still in the South, there is a $100 non-refundable deposit required. The reason for this is the following: we are pulling these dogs from the rescues or shelters they are in with the expectation that they will be adopted. Should you change your mind after were in possession of the dog, we now have an extra dog to place in foster care, which is a strain on our resources. The deposit is not an additional fee; it will go towards your adoption fee.
If you are adopting a dog already in the North, you just pay the adoption fee in full once you are approved and meet the dog. No deposit is required, but you can put a deposit on the dog if you wish, which means we no longer show the dog to other prospective families.
Can I visit the dog before I adopt?
Sometimes. Forever Home Rescue is not a shelter. We are a network of foster homes in both the South and the Northeast. If youve been approved as an adopter, and the dog is in the Northeast, we will contact you to set up a time and location to meet the dog at its foster home in the Northeast. Dogs in the Northeast are marked UPDATE on our site. If youve been approved as an adopter, and the dog is in the South, the dog will need to be taken from its foster situation in the South and brought to the Northeast. We make the arrangements and will contact you to set up a time and location to pick up the dog either at the airport, quarantine, or transport drop-off.
What happens if the dog or pup doesnt fit well with our family?
There is a two week trial period, whether you adopt from the Northeast or the South. If you find within the two weeks that the dog doesnt fit well into your home, he or she will be moved into foster care, and a refund of the adoption fee minus $100 will be given.
How do I start the adoption process?
Complete and submit the online adoption application. Please tell us about yourself so that we can do our best to ensure we match you with the best dog for you. We will check your references and process your application.
How soon do I get the dog or pup?
If youve been approved as an adopter, the length of time it takes to receive your new pet varies. If the dog is still a puppy and located in the South, the pup can travel north only after it has received two to three sets of puppy shots and reached approximately 12 weeks of age. If the dog is an older dog, usually the dog can be brought up to the North within a week or two of the adoption approval. If the dog is already in foster care in the North, the dog can go home with you once youve paid the adoption fee.
How will I know the pet is in good health?
Every pet comes with a health certificate stating their vaccinations, proof of spay/neuter, dewormings and overall health status.
Im not ready to adopt are there other ways to help?
Yes! You can become a foster dog parent, sponsor a specific dog, or submit a general donation to our rescue. Buying Forever Home New England gear also supports our rescue, and if youd like to discuss fundraising opportunities contact us.
Questions about Forever Home Rescue New England
Who is Forever Home Rescue?
We are a non-profit 501(c)3 rescue group headquartered in New England. Behind the scenes are our main volunteers: Joanne, Sharon, Terry, Linda, Kathy, Marie, Christine, and Julie, as well as many other volunteers throughout the south and New England. We are all friends who share the same desire to save as many dogs as possible from unfortunate situations in the southern United States:
We are all passionate believers that an organization needs not just a big heart to succeed, but also the ability to run smoothly, safely, and professionally.
Why do you work primarily with dogs from the South?
We recognize that there are animals in need all over the country. Wed help them all if we could. Yet we wanted to focus our limited resources in the areas where we thought we could make the greatest impact. So we find our dogs in the South, where many shelters are overcrowded and need our help in placing their dogs.
I still have questions; how can I contact you?
contact us: foreverhomerescue_gmail.com
Your donations help us rescue dogs who need extra veterinary care. For example, we often rescue dogs who have heartworm infection and we have to treat them until cure in order to adopt them out. We also rescue many dogs who have been hit by cars or are otherwise in need of surgical procedures.
Our adoption fees do not cover the costs of veterinary care beyond the routine spay/neuters and vaccines. If you can help us, even small amounts make a big difference.
Also, you can help the rescue by shopping at CafePress which is the 'shop' for Forever Home Rescue NE clothing. You can personalize any item with your own dog's photo.
Car Donation Program: Donate your car, boat, truck, RV, jet ski or snowmobile to Forever Home Rescue New England and receive a tax deduction. This no cost, no hassle process begins when you contact our fundraising partner, Donation Line LLC at 877-227-7487. Make sure to ask for our extension, 2623. Or you can click here .
Do you have any questions or concerns about your new forever friend?
If so, please send us your behavior question or solution about your new family member and we'll share it here!
Fear of Strangers
26th Sep 2010
Q. Ursa is still leary of strangers but has adjusted very well in her new home.
A. Regarding being leary of strangers, it can help to stage some encounters with strangers in which the stranger is the purveyor of a very tasty treat, such as a hot dog slice. :)
Normal dog biscuits likely wont work in this situation. The more she finds that encounters with strangers can mean very good things, the more likely she is to want to get to know people. You just have to be careful to reward her as she approaches, sniffing the hot dog slice, rather than if she is retreating. You don't want to reward the shying away behavior. You want to reward the approaching behavior.
Patience Pays Off
19th Mar 2010
Q. If a dog has issues at the start, does that mean they will always have issues?
A. We are going to let one of our adopters answer this one because she says it so much better than we could:
I go to your site often just to check in and see the dogs wishing and dreaming I could adopt another. Hopefully someday. I notice some dogs get returned, which saddens me. It seems like sometimes people do not give these animals a chance. It also seems that people just think they can wind them up like a toy and they are just going to be the pet they have always wanted. I don't understand this.
When we first brought Lily home she was so afraid and sick and shell shocked I wondered what the outcome would be. She even lunged at us a few times out of fear because she had no idea really who we were or what we were going to do to her. She was so afraid it was as if she just would have preferred to disappear from the earth. But Shane and I vowed that we would give it 110% and give her the time she needed to adjust, while exercising her, going for training and caring and loving for her. After a couple of months I saw signs, as small as they were, that she would become the perfect dog. It took 6 months before she really began to come out of her shell and trust us. And the progress continued with our patience and diligence. Today, she really is the perfect dog. Loyal, loving, full of personality, happy, mostly obedient and a true family member. The process is beautiful. Lily and I are so close, it may sound funny, but it seems as if we read each others mind. This relationship would not be so if the ground work was not done.
Is there any way to get the word out better that the initial time investment pays off tremendously? Dogs should never be considered instant gratification purchases. If you feel I could help in anyway, I'd be happy to I don't know talk to people, something ..
Think of you and all the pups often,
-Kristin M.
Separation Anxiety
24th Jul 2009
Rebecca, now Elly, is wonderful! She is very laid back, very sweet,great to walk, great with people. One issue we are having is seperation anxiety. She jumps gates and scratches the door, barks and whines. She actually locked us out of the apartment the other night. I am trying some desensitizing training with her, we are excercising her a lot and we are going to start crate training. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks for checking up.
Hi, Alyssa, here is what an expert has to say:
Jacque Lynn Schultz, Director, ASPCA Companion Animal Services
DON'T LEAVE ME THIS WAY
Supposedly, absence makes the heart grow fonder. However, the absence of an owner sends some dogs into keen wailing and barking, frequent house soiling and self-destructive behaviors. These are all signs that a dog is suffering from separation anxiety.
The canines most likely to fall victim are second-hand dogs. Whether from a shelter, rescue group or greyhound-track adoption program, dogs re-homed in adolescence or older are at greater risk of suffering separation anxiety than puppies. This is probably because it is more difficult for these dogs to accept changes in their routine and environment. They cling to their new pack leader and panic when that leader leaves home to go about his or her daily business. For similar reasons, unemployed companion animal owners or those who take lengthy at-home vacations or recuperations may find that their dog becomes disoriented when they return to work. These distressed pets need help.
Love hangover
Separation anxiety is often a problem of over-bonding. It is not healthy for a dog to follow his caretakers' every step, to be constantly in the same room, sharing the same piece of furniture, being in close contact all the time. Promote independence by teaching the dog to down-stay on his own bed while you go out of sight. Start with a few seconds, then build up to a length of time the dog can tolerate. Put up a gate and eventually close a door between the two of you. And, get family members involved in dispensing the "good stuff " to the dog. Walks, play sessions and feedings should not be provided by only one person, for that persons absence means the end of all that is good in the world to the dog. Panic can ensue. If you live alone, perhaps a neighbor or relative will share the duties, or hire a pet-care professional to assist you.
The worst of a dog's hysteria is often during the first hour after departure. Diffuse the emotion of your leave-taking by heartily exercising the dog right after you wake up. Then, after feeding him, scale back your attention to the point of ignoring him during the last 15 minutes before you leave. Turn off the lights and turn on the television, radio or white noise machine whatever you play most when you are home. And, with no more than a whispered "Be Good," leave the house.
Some dogs will read the signs of imminent departure and begin to work themselves into a frenzy. If putting on make-up, packing a lunch or shuffling papers in your briefcase distresses the dog, desensitize him to these or other actions by doing them frequently and at other times (such as before mealtime) so they lose their direct connection to the dreaded departure. Presenting a toy stuffed with goodies can draw the focus of less seriously afflicted canines toward cleaning out the item and away from your leaving. Buster cubes, Kong toys, Goodie balls/ships work well as canine diversions. The seriously afflicted dog, however, will not give the toy a second look until his pack is together again.
Separation anxiety can be severe and all-consuming to some dogs. I have known dogs to jump through second-story plate-glass windows, eat through sheetrock walls into neighboring apartments and bloody their paws and noses trying to dig through wooden doors or out of crates. These individuals need professional assessment by an Applied Animal Behaviorist or Veterinary Behaviorist, for they may need pharmacological aid while they undergo desensitization exercises. Some people choose to manage the problem by dropping off their dogs at day care or adopting a second dog, so they are never truly alone.
Luckily, the majority of dogs if the earlier suggestions are followed in no time will be howling "I Will Survive."

Dog won't eat
18th Apr 2009
My family and I adopted Sarah Cate (lab-boxer mix) about a month or so ago. I am still having trouble get her to eat. I was wondering if her foster parents emailed you with what she ate? I have tried different dry puppy food, then switched to cans, then mixed the two together and even tried an old trick a friend of mine told me about (she's a vet tech down the cape) I even put olive oil in the food. All with limited success. She will eat, as soon as I start feeling confident I figured her out, she stops eating. Then the trial and error start anew. The bowl issue has been settled, thankfully (she was afraid of her food/water bowl it took me three tries to get her to accept a bowl). Please help.
Rescue Director's Response:
Hi, Jean. Are you picking up her food bowl when she stops eating? or are you leaving it on the floor? I highly recommend picking up her bowl when she stops eating, until the next scheduled feeding time. If dogs are allowed to 'graze,' they never get the message that it's meal time, and they might just pick at their food. If you pick the bowl up until the next feeding time, hopefully she will get hungry in between. If she is growing and putting on weight, then I doubt there is any medical problem. Just pick one high quality dry food and stick with it even if she doesn't eat at all for 2 or 3 days. She will learn to eat it-almost guaranteed. Please keep us posted.
Testing the limits
17th Apr 2009
Good morning,
Daisy (formerly Jackie) is settling in nicely. She cried almost entirely the first night in her crate, but now is sleeping (or at least quiet) for 6 + hours. She is sitting on command and very close to mastering the down command so smart its scary. Im going to need keep this girl challenged. She can leap baby gates with a single bound, but hasnt been destructive when she does end up with freedom. Daisy does have a little attitude when being told no to something she wants and makes a little snarly face and grumbles, but so far nothing more serious.
We are very pleased with our sweet new puppy. Shes quickly becoming part of the family.
Thanks,
Anne
Rescue Director Response: Hi, Anne, thanks for writing! Regarding the snarly face and grumbling, thats something youll want to nip in the bud. Keep up the basic command training, take her for frequent leash walks, not letting her get ahead of you when you walk (i.e. reinforcing that you are her leader). The training DVD in your packet may be helpful here. Barkbusters.com is great training organization that can really help you with extinguishing the snarly look if you need help. Dogs need to be gently but firmly reminded every day about who is boss. So making her sit for any treats she receives, making her sit to go outdoors. sit and stay at the top of the stairs until you go down the stairs first, all reinforces your leadership role. She is a good girl, so I think she will do fine. She is undoubtedly testing you to see how much you will let her get away with
Keep us posted, were here to help if you need us. Thank you so much for giving that sweet dog a forever home!
Fear of Men and House Training Issues
26th Feb 2009
Q. hi! thanks for checking in. to be honest, Im having a really hard time with allison (also called maggie). she is very sweet and very cute but is terrified of men and not house-trained at all. she actually comes in from her walks and hours at the dog park and poops in my bedroom. even if i have her in one room with me, where her crate is, she will still poop. i take her out all the time and praise her and my other dog whenever they go where they are supposed to. i even bought puppy pads but she just eats them. i dont know what else to do. i hate to stick her in the crate all day but she is not to be trusted. any tips or tricks for house-training would be greatly appreciated!!
jacqueline
A.Sorry to hear that, Jackie. We thought she would be Ok in just a few days. Sounds like you will need to do crate training from scratch, i.e. have her in the crate most of the time when she is in the house and then just take her outside VERY frequently so she almost HAS to pee and poop outdoors. Then you might need to give her food treat rewards for going outdoors in addition to the verbal praise. Also, be sure you are not leaving her food down once she has finished eating. Water should be kept down all the time, but when the pup finishes eating, pick up the food bowl and dont put it down again till feeding time. If they dont eat it all, thats not a problem. I know many people use pee pads but personally I think the dogs get confused and dont learn as quickly that they are supposed to go outside. Please review the DVD that should have been in your folder. If it isnt in there, we can mail one to you And there is also a short training video at the bottom of the home page of our website at http://www.foreverhomerescue.org
Regarding men, you should have the man of the house be the only one to feed her or give her treats (except if you are the one taking her out to potty and need to give her a treat then). And take her for walks together with each of you holding the leash by turns. If men crouch down on the floor and speak in high voices to her, she will likely do better with them then if they stand over her and speak in manly voices.
Sounds like she will take awhile to come around. Let us know if shes not making progress. Also please know that we will extend the two week trial period to as long as you need to see if she can become a good match for you. Since she has now had 3 or so transitions, she may take longer than others do.
Joanne
Can we change our new dog's name?
23rd Jan 2009
Q. We would love to adopt a dog from your website, but we don't like the dogs name. Can we change it?
A. (copied from Sue Sternberg on the Petfinder.com website)
Sometimes adopting a dog means adopting a dog with a name you don't particularly like. Actually, it's easy for your newly adopted dog to learn a new name. Don't feel that a dog cannot learn a new name, and don't feel that a dog can't even learn a name completely dissimilar to his previous name. A dog or puppy of any age can learn a brand new name within a few days. Heres how:
decide on any new name you wish for your newly adopted pet
for the first few days, carry a pocketful of treats
every once in a while, and also specifically when you do want your dogs attention, call out his new name and then immediately smile, praise heartily, and feed a treat
even if he doesn't turn to look at you when you call out the name, do the above any way, and soon he will know that hearing that word means great things are coming, and he will respond as if that word is his own!
Puppy nipping
Q. Andy is precious and we are thrilled to have him in our family. Hes doing pretty good with learning to potty outside and the only challenge we are having is with his chewing. He has lots of toys and bones, but there are times when he thinks we are his littermates and really lets us have it! Weve tried everything the books tell and have even watched and googled the dog whisperer. He is enrolled in puppy training classes starting Feb. 2. Hes a sweetie and we all love him dearly. Thanks for allowing us to adopt him. What can be done about the chewing/nipping?
A. So glad you love him! Regarding his chewing on you, if you totally ignore him when he does it, instead of having any reaction, that might help him stop. Puppies and dogs hate to be ignored. If you react, by pushing him gently away, etc he will probably think you are trying to play with him and he wont get the hint. The other thing you could do is have Bitter Apple or similar product always at the ready and when he bites your skin if you immediately dab some onto his mouth, he might stop. But you would have to do that immediately or he wont make the connection.
Should we bring our current dog at pick-up?
12th Jan 2009
Q. Do you recommend we bring our current dog with us to meet and pick-up our new dog? Or should we wait until we bring him to our house for them to meet? You probably run into this scenario more often than we have (which is never). Thanks again. Tilly will love having a brother to play with and we will enjoy another dog.
A.This is a great question and we recommend leaving your resident dog(s) at home while picking up your new dog. Once home, the proper way to introduce the dogs is outside and to go for a walk with both dogs allowing them to casually sniff each other. If they start to show stress or dominance, simply correct with a quick tug on the leash and start walking again. This way they can get to know each other on neutral ground. In the house, we recommend keeping toys and bones off the floor to avoid possible territorial skirmishes. In most cases, especially with dogs of opposite genders, everything will go fine if you set the tone from the get-go. Dont forget were always here to consult with.
