Introducing Kingston!!
This abundantly handsome boy is a golden retriever and for once, we know who daddy was….a black shepherd mix.
A great breed combo for sure!

Kingston is an old soul with a good dose of puppy love and energy. He can be a bit shy at first but once he’s comfortable with someone he is ready for all the love and pets. He truly has so much love to give!!

Loyal and sweet, Kingston melts hearts with his calm demeanor and love of cuddles. His true goofball personality comes out when playing with a squeaky toy or rolling around in the sunshine. He is learning the joys of neighborhood walks where he can take his time smelling the roses and people watching.

This boy is wonderful on leash and is happy to stroll at whatever pace his human sets. Any timidness goes out the window when it comes to the outdoors-he is fearless when it comes to exploring the woods and would make a wonderful hiking or jogging buddy.

This boy really comes out his shell when romping around with his humans or dog friends. He has loved living with his foster dog siblings and would be so awesome for him to have a dog companion to continue showing him the ropes.

While he prefers a slow introduction, once he’s familiarized himself he is ready to put all his trust in his people and fellow dogs.

He looks to his humans for direction and comfort and loves to bond with his family. Kingston is eager to please and is motivated to pick up on commands- with the help of one of his favorite things- treats!!

Kingston is playful and fun, ready for an adventure with his humans or happy to be a couch potato and cuddle. He is fully housetrained, loves sleeping in the car, and is great on a leash.

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.
