Mariposa Bahama - New England Foster
Age: Baby
Gender: Female
Breeds: Crossbreed
Located in New England
These babies were found with their momma in construction rubble in the Bahamas. She was keeping them safe but was so happy when the wonderful people of Pawtcake Refuge took them in. She’s a fabulous dog and is available for adoption as well; Bahama Mama is super docile and sweet. No problem with people around her or her babies!
Momma is a pretty shepherd mix girl - maybe Dutch Shepherd. Daddy unknown, but this mix is just lovely.
Mariposa loves to play, sleep, and eat with her foster siblings.
Part of the adoption fee will be sent back to the Refuge to help them continue their amazing work: https://www.pawtcakerefuge.org/

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.
