Cindy Lou

Fill out an adoption form

Cindy Lou is a gentle little soul wrapped in quiet bravery and effortless charm. At around 16 weeks old, she’s already showing off big-dog potential in a tiny-pup package.

She’s crate trained, settles easily, and treats bedtime like a cozy ritual — one little circle, a fluff of her dog bed, and she’s out like a light.

In her foster home, Cindy Lou thrives in good company. She does great with the 6 foster dog siblings she lives with, matching their energy when it’s playtime and soaking up their calm when it’s time to settle. She loves being part of the moment and happily lets her little human foster lay beside her, run in the yard, and join in daily adventures. She’s naturally kid-friendly, social, and easy to handle.

Cindy Lou is already a confident traveler — she loads up in the truck on her own and will slowly take a seat on the console, curling in like the world was built for cruising. She adores car rides and settles easily for every mile, whether it’s a quick trip or a long haul down the road.

Cats? Completely uninteresting. She couldn’t care less about them. Horses and cows are still a little intimidating and admittedly scary, but she’s learning that big farm friends don’t have to be so frightening when observed from a safe distance.

She’ll thrive in a patient, nurturing home that loves peaceful routines and gentle connection. She’s sweet, observant, and brings a grounding calm wherever she lands.

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.
