Meet Smudge, a delightful puppy who is all about spreading joy.

This precious boy was found as a stray in AL along with his siblings, Nudge and Pudge, (also up for adoption!!)

Now in a southern foster home, he has done well being socialized with everyone, both human and canine.
He is also is improving daily with both crate and house training.

Smudge is not just sweet and cuddly, but also impressively smart and endlessly friendly. This playful pup loves engaging in fun activities and is always eager to learn new tricks.

After a long day of play, he is the perfect companion for snuggles, offering the sweetest cuddles you can imagine.

Adopting Smudge means bringing home a bundle of love and a devoted friend who will enrich your life with unending happiness.

The adoption fee also includes the transport fee when applicable

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You must 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. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours 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 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.
