Gilpin

Fill out an adoption form

Gilpin has arrived in New England!!!

We are so excited to introduce everyone to the “G” litter, Gypsey, Gavin, Geoff, Gilpin and Grayson.

These babies are the complete definition of adorable. They are your typical puppies, healthy, playful balls of sweetness. They can be a little shy at first, but then once they feel your love, their true social personalities emerge.

These five pups are a litter that was dumped without a mom at 4 weeks old. One of our southern fosters did not want them to end up in a bad situation, so he took them all in at that young age. With his love and TLC, they have flourished.
We expect them to be medium large dogs since we believe their parents to be mixes of Lab and Dutch Shephard….. truly a great combo!!!

All have been around little kids and did great with them. They’re also great with other dogs. And they love to tumble and play with each other.
Foster is working on crate and house training, and they are all eager to learn.

These precious ones are ready to begin searching for their forever families and will make a wonderful addition to any household!

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.
