Beefy - LOCAL

Fill out an adoption form

Beefy is an adorable puppy who has already shown incredible resilience. He, his two siblings, and their mother were brought to the animal hospital just before a major winter storm, all suffering from severe scabies and internal parasites. Prior to rescue, they had only known life on the streets and were understandably fearful of human contact.

Despite his rough start, Beefy quickly stood out for his round belly and cheerful spirit; earning him his name. He was the most outgoing of the trio and the first to welcome affection. Since then, he’s lost his baby fat and grown into a lean, playful young dog.

Beefy has been living in a kennel environment since February, so he will need continued support with house training and patience as he adjusts to home life. With time and consistency, his full personality will continue to blossom.

Now healthy and dog-social, Beefy is ready for a forever family who can offer him structure, love, and a place to finally call home.

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You should attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are an experienced dog owner 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. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary.  Training will be so crucial in this puppy's life. Do you have the time?

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.
