West - LOCAL!!

Fill out an adoption form

West is part of a litter of puppies that was found in rural Mississippi when they were very young. Some of his siblings have found their forever home and he is ready to find his!

West is the most outgoing and social of the litter. He loves everyone he meets and has never met a stranger! West’s favorite things to do are go for runs, chase any ball, splash around in the puppy pool, and chase the other dogs he is fostering with all around the yard. West lives for fun and is looking for a family that can keep him active and entertained! He wants to be with his people as much as possible and would love to be your adventure buddy.

If West sounds like the fun-loving guy you need in your life, apply today!

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.
