Birdie

Fill out an adoption form

Little munchkins found behind a trash can by a vet tech in her front yard -  I’d say they were pretty lucky after an initial terrible start.  No one knows how they landed there and mama was nowhere to be found.

They were whisked into the clinic and checked out -  thankfully they were found to be in good shape.  First vaccines are now on board and once they get their second, they can travel to New England.

Typical puppies - having a blast playing and getting into trouble - fosters are working on housetraining and crate training but we make no promises!!

They are getting socialization with the other dogs in the home and family members are having fun playing with them too.

Her foster mom says; “From he beginning this baby hasn’t known the word bashful”! “She’s a spunky girl with a big personality, all and all the goofball of the pups”. “she is a quick nap away from hours of fun.” “She does amazing on leash already, she’s right there with the big dogs when its comes to play”! “But the minute you turn around she’s ready for loving!”

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.
