FOSTERING IN NEW ENGLAND

Rudolph, or Rudy because the foster parents got tired of explaining why they had a puppy with a Christmas themed name in April, is now almost 14 weeks old and still on the lookout for his forever home.

He was born to mama Noelle after she snuck out of her foster home to deliver her puppies under a porch just before Christmas.

After his big move to Massachusetts Rudy has decided that he quite likes living the spoiled life and is looking for a new family that will give him lots of treats and blankets to snuggle on. It turns out he has quite the personality and knows what he likes. He always wants to be included in what we’re doing, and makes sure to stop and make friends wherever he can find them.

He is still just a little puppy so he’s working on crate training, does have accidents, and loves to chew. He loves toys, specifically tennis balls, cardboard, and socks. We tried telling him the socks aren’t for him but he keeps trying nevertheless.

He loves to play with other dogs, other people, and anything he can do to get attention is a win in his book..

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.
