Savanna Luna -Local Foster Home

Fill out an adoption form

UPDATE: NOV.

Savanna is a curious, happy puppy. She is currently fostering with two kiddos (ages 8 & 7) who walk around saying “Savanna is so cute” and “Savanna is a snuggle muffin”. She is shy and timid at first, but if you’re patient and consistent, she will settle in nicely and will crawl into your lap every chance she gets.

She is also fostering with another dog, so she’s learning how to play and walk on a leash through the neighborhood. It is a “must” for her to have another dog in her new home. She is crate-trained and does very well overnight. Her foster family is working on house-training and basic commands – she’s food motivated and eager to learn.

She would be happy in a home with another dog who is confident and who can show her all that a New England lifestyle has to offer.

Introducing Luna’s babies - sadly Luna is not around to watch her babies go off to their new homes as she was unfortunately hit by a car - we will make it our mission to make sure they get fabulous homes.

Luna was a stray on the streets of Memphis being fed by the team of All 4’s Rescue League - they weren’t able to trap her as she had not led them to her babies yet - the person feeding her finally found them and the plans to trap her were set in motion but she was injured that same night - unbelievable. Her babies, of approx. 7 weeks of age, were found and are now safe and sound in fantastic foster homes.

They look to be short-stocky pups but again, we don’t know who dad was but mamma was a beautiful girl.

Don’t wait too long to apply for one of these adorable babies – Savanna is currently fostering in the Boston area. She’s approximately 4 months old and ~30 lbs.

The puppies are expected be in the 70 lb range at adulthood.

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You will be required to attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are experienced dog owners and your adoption coordinator is comfortable with your experience.  This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy so if you experience behavior issues you have a point of contact.  

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 consider purchasing this book before adopting.  Perfect Puppy in 7 Days - How to Start Your Puppy Off Right, Sophia Yin, DVM - it is an amazing book that we recommend very highly and have had amazing feedback on.

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.
