Meet the James St. Litter!
Harry J, Della J, Ella J, Leona J, Moxie J, Vickie J, and Tori J.
Everyone of them a sweet adorable cuddly puppy!!
These babies were abandoned in a backyard in the terrible Texas heat with no food or water before being rescued. Thank goodness none are showing any health issues and all have healthy appetites.
The pups are working house training and do well crated. This litter had a whole community caring for them prior to being placed in foster homes, so they all have social personalities.
Della is now fostering in New England. She has been sleeping in her crate all night without a peep and getting along so well with her new foster siblings.
Like most puppies she loves to RUN and PLAY and then NAP, NAP and NAP.
Any family lucky enough to have her will need to continue her basic training. He is working on house training and but there is still leash training and basic commands she will need to learn. She does do well in her crate when no one is there to keep an eye on her. Keeping her socialized will be very important so she will grow up to live her best doggie life!!
She would love a home with an older sibling to show her the way of the world. If you don’t have an older sibling for her, she would also benefit from doggie daycare a few times a week or doggie play dates. A puppy who gets lots of exercise is a happy puppy.

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.
