Oskar - Local Foster as of 1-7

Oskar and his brother Matteo (also listed) were surrendered to a rural shelter in Tennessee approx one week before Christmas - luckily he lady of Tipton County Paws and Claws (an awesome group outside Memphis) scooped them up and asked if we’d find them forever homes.

As if we’d say no…………

These adorable puppies are bound to be Great just like their breed name!

Both siblings are playful, very sweet and social. They will need a family that continues to work with them to be excellent dogs who has the time and energy for a large breed!

This breed (if true) requires outside space as that is where pyrs and pyr mixes like to spend their time - apartments do not work well for them as they can also be barky - it’s in their nature.

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.
