Meet Your Future Best Friend! 🐾

Say hello to three adorable pups - sweet, playful, and endlessly curious little bundles of joy!

These little ones are ready to find a forever home where love, patience, and time are in abundance. Puppies bring so much fun, laughter, and love—but they also require serious commitment.

These puppies were born in a culvert. When the police caught their mom, she was taken to the sheriff’s office; the puppies were left behind. A kind rescuer stepped in to feed them until Mama was released. Now, mama and her babies are together living safely in a horse stall, as mama is timid and still adjusting. Their rescuer will be adopting mama herself, but we need to find the babies' new homes.

What life with a puppy looks like:

House training: Consistency and patience are key. Accidents will happen, but with time and guidance, they learn where to go.

Crate training: Helps them feel safe and secure, and is an essential tool for housetraining and travel.

Socialization: Meeting new people, sounds, and experiences will help them grow into confident adult dogs.

Playtime and exercise: Puppies have tons of energy! Daily play, walks, and mental stimulation are a must.

Training: Short sessions, repetition, and positive reinforcement will teach them manners and skills that last a lifetime.

Vet care & nutrition: Regular check-ups, vaccinations, and proper food are essential for healthy growth.

Who is ready?
A home that can spend quality time every day, provide gentle guidance, and embrace the ups and downs of puppyhood. If you’re away 10+ hours a day, unless you have care arrangements in place, please don't apply—puppies need presence, patience, and love!

If you’re ready to commit to a lifetime of love, training, and fun, the application link is above!

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.
