Bacchus

Fill out an adoption form

Meet Bacchus, our handsome German Shepherd mix. He is your typical friendly, playful pup! Very well-socialized and outgoing.

This boy was abandoned at a schoolyard in Memphis. A mom picking up her children took him home so he would be safe. Unfortunately, the family cannot keep him as they have five cats, and Bacchus likes to chase them in play.
He is living in the house with his foster family where he’s lovingly cared for while awaiting his forever home.

Bacchus is an AWESOME puppy with a happy, loving temperament.
He is very confident and never meets a stranger. Growing up around kids and other dogs. LOVES OTHER DOGS!

Bacchus is crate trained and housebroken; has a medium activity level outside and is quiet and well-mannered in the house.
Good on the leash, rides great in the car.

This special boy will make a great companion (and jogging partner!) for an active family who loves the breed.

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.
