Gender: Male
Breeds: Crossbreed
Meet the Easter Six litter. Five handsome boys and one adorable girl. All happy and healthy pups ready to find forever homes.
This unwanted litter was being given away to anyone that would take them. Our southern rescuers did not want these precious pups to get into the wrong hands, so she approached the owner and he agreed to give them to her to be put in rescue. These babies were found to be all quite sickly, but TLC, meds and good nutrition worked wonders.
Don’t turn Socks down!
This guy is the leader of his sibling pack, so adventurous and energetic–he is already good at scaling his enclosures to be where the action is.
Play, play, play, nap/snuggle, nap snuggle.
This handsome boy is just a joy to watch and interact with… and those precious eyes!!
Socks is a very active dude and would probably enjoy having a job to do, like puzzle treats or games. Such a smart kid!
He will need a family who sticks to a regimen of positive reinforcement and lots of exercise. As with all active pups, he will need some consistent training and lots of affection to make him the best dog ever.
Please let us know if you feel this happy-go-lucky boy would complete your family!

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.
