Hi Everyone! My name is Kim, but my foster mom calls me Kimmy!

Here’s a video of me annoying my foster brother!! https://youtu.be/Uh-xnMLbV0o

I came all the way from Mississippi to find my new forever family! My foster mom wants me to tell you all a little about myself, well I am SUPER SWEET, AWSOME and ABSOLUTELYY ADORABLE! I am a happy puppy with moderate energy who loves to snuggle and be loved. I also love to play with my toys, sometimes I get into things I am not supposed to but isn’t that what being a puppy is all about! Oh, I am learning a new command “Leave It”, I am not impressed by this new command but apparently its for my own good.

I just started going for short walks, there is so much to see and sometimes it makes me a little nervous, but my foster mom gives me treats and encourages me to get out of my comfort zone. Walking is such great exercise and I get to explore all the new sites and smells so I think I will stick with it. I am working very hard on my potty training, and I think it’s going well, but it’s so hard to tell my foster mom that I have to go potty when I am having so much fun. I also love other dogs and am having a blast with my foster siblings. I love them because they are playful, but they are also teaching me manners. I think I need a canine sibling in my new home, Ya know to help show me the ropes so I can build my confidence.

Ok gotta go play, my foster mom can fill you in on the rest, see ya

Kimmy is a sweet and loving puppy! When she arrived, she was absolutely petrified and would not leave her crate for the first 24 hours. She is a very shy girl who will need time to adjust. She has been in new England for less than a week and has made great progress. Kimmy now seeks out attention but is still very shy when meeting new people. Each day she becomes adventurous and less nervous, she wants to be outgoing but just needs a little time to work on her confidence. Kimmy would defiantly benefit from puppy play groups and obedience classes, she loves other dogs and loves to learn. Kim will require a patient and loving family who is willing to work with her shyness, some pups just need a little more time than others to adjust their new environment. Once she builds a little confidence and gets over her shyness, there will be not holding her back.

Kimmy and loves to run and play and explore the back yard with the other dogs and would do best in a home with a friendly confident canine companion.

She is a Cattle Dog mix so an owner who can understand her breed would be best due to their activity level and high intelligence. As of now Kim appears to be a moderate energy pup who would do well in a family that is active.
Kim definitely loves her toys, the more toys the better. Once could consider her a hoarder, she gathers up all the toys and brings them into her crate and then will pull out the toy she wants to play with.
Kimmy is crate trained and sleeps throughout the night. She is working very hard on potty training and some days are better than others, it is defiantly a work in progress. Kimmy is being fostered with her brother and 2 other foster canine siblings, sizes range from 13 pound to 100 pounds and she does well with all of them. Kimmy is also being fostered with a friendly feline and has done well. She also would do well with older children, due to her shyness smaller children may be to quick moving for her at this time.

She is an amazing, sweet and loving little girl, she going to make someone very happy!

PLEASE - Think long and hard before adopting a puppy - consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with - they cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours at a time until 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 review this checklist for socializing puppies - do you have the time - ask yourself!!!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Interested in a specific dog, please fill out an application if you are interested in a dog. The number of individual inquiries is overwhelming and we are finding it difficult to respond to each one. We cannot guarantee you will receive a timely response.

Paws New England is a rescue, not a shelter, and as such we do not have our dogs housed in one location - they are in foster homes both in New England and in our southern foster homes.   If you’re interested in a specific dog, please complete a short online application and you will receive a reply within 48 hours so you can ask questions.

At present, if a dog is listed on our website, the dog is considered still available HOWEVER, may have applications that have come in before yours but it’s still too early to know if any are a good match; therefore we encourage you to apply.
NOTICE WITH REGARD TO LOCATION OF DOGS:  Please note: Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. We do not have a brick and mortar building to house the dogs we rescue. We have found that dogs in foster homes are much more adoptable because they have been observed in a home setting. Dogs listed with Paws New England typically reside in various locations throughout the south (primarily Tennessee, Texas, and Arkansas) and New England (not necessarily in the state of Rhode Island). You will be notified by the adoption coordinator of the location of the dog you are interested in so you have the ability to decide whether to pursue adoption or not.

Dogs transported to New England are done so at a fee of $150.00 paid directly to the transporting company by Paws New England; no additional transport costs are responsibility of adopter. This fee is included in the adoption donation.

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 dog will help others in need.

All known information about the animal is listed above. We do our best to give accurate information, but most of our dogs are rescues and do not come with a known history.

Paws New England abides by the dog importation regulations set forth in the states of MA, CT, NH and RI.
