Sunny Rae

Fill out an adoption form

As the days get shorter, here’s a way to get a little more Sunny Rays (or Raes) in your day every day!

Meet Sunny Rae, just over 4 months old and weighing in at 15 pounds! She’s a little pittie mix sweetheart whose disposition matches her name! PAWS has been involved with Sunny Rae and all her siblings since they were born. Their mom was a stray who was taken in and allowed to give birth in comfort. Sunny Rae stayed with her and with her siblings for the first two months.

Everything with puppies is a work in progress, but Sunny Rae is really eager to learn! She’s working on crate training (she has done well in her kennel, so we have high hopes). She’s not QUITE housebroken yet, but she is making good progress. She’s sociable and smart and really eager to please.

Sunny Rae is deaf. This means her training will need to involve hand signals rather than vocal commands. As with all puppies, PAWS recommends going through Basic Obedience with your pup, and we will help you find a trainer who can work with you on training a deaf dog.

Other than her lack of hearing, Sunny Rae is a vital, happy, typical pup. She would do well in a home with other dogs (or not), with children (or not). She’s very adaptable to her circumstances.

She is up to date on all her vaccines. She is too young to be heartworm tested or spayed, but PAWS will provide some resources to help you take care of those things.

Sunny Rae needs a special home to help her be the perfect family companion. Could she be your ray of sunshine?

PLEASE - Think long and hard before adopting a puppy - consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with - he cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours at a time until he’s older, puppy proofing your home will be necessary, puppies scratch and nip so if you have small children, can they handle this?? Training will be so important in this puppy’s life, do you have the time??

Please review this checklist for socializing puppies - do you have the time - ask yourself before adopting.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  

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 newly adopted dog will help others in need.
