Toby

Fill out an adoption form

Dottie, Dolly and Toby - 3 of the cutest, sweetest looking puppies ever.

They were born with 9 other siblings -NONE of which survived - they were abandoned and by the time someone found them, only these 3 were alive - absolutely devastating for the rescuers who were called to help.

Toby has tons of energy, loves toys and loves to lick you all over your face when you pick him up. He is not crazy about being held because he can’t sit still long enough!

He is definitely a pack leader. He runs and his siblings follow. He is also very inquisitive…going from room to room to check things out.
 
He is a typical active pup who has been socialized with other dogs, kids, and big humans - you can’t go wrong.

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.
