Shimmer
Age: Baby
Gender: Female
Breeds: Rottweiler, Crossbreed
Shimmer very much fits her name and she shines with the sweetest disposition.
Shimmer is an adorable, sweet puppy who loves snuggle time with her person. If she isn’t in your arms, she will settle at your feet or be found snuggled up against another pup. She loves to be with you and also loves playtime with her pup friends of all sizes. She is feeling more and more confident as she learns to trust them.
Sadly, a person abandoned her and her brother Sparkey in a yard to fend for themselves, and thankfully, someone got them to the shelter safely.
She is precious with all and looks to her foster adult dogs for guidance but follows their cues and respects them well.
All Shimmer needs is your heart and puppy patience and you will have an amazing forever baby. Apply fast. This beautiful baby won’t last long.

The adoption fee also includes the transport fee.
ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS: You must 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.
