Margaret-LOCAL
Age: Baby
Gender: Female
Breeds: Shepherd, Crossbreed
Margaret has arrived in New England and she is settling in so nicely. Her coloring is really striking and adorable in person. She has been around dogs of all ages and sizes without a problem, showing only respectful interest.
This girl was took turns being held with every adult in the household and she was just so calm and sweet!! Margaret has also met some toddlers and did well.
Puppy obedience and house training at her foster home in process.
Margaret is part of amazing program in TN called PAL (Prevent Another Litter). Our southern partners took Margaret and her siblings (also up for adoption) into rescue, and spayed mom for her owners. A win-win!
Mom is a shepherd mix. She was a good mama to them for six weeks. As usual, no clue on dad (or dads). They all look so different from one another!
Please apply for this sweetheart to 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.
