Sneezy Puppy - LOCAL

Fill out an adoption form

Sneezy is a sweet, gentle, and shy puppy who is learning just how wonderful life can be.

He may have had a rough start, being abandoned on a farm in rural Mississippi, but now in a loving New England foster home, he is settling into the good life and discovering all the joys of being a puppy.

His favorite things include cozy dog beds, a full belly, and a basket overflowing with toys.

Sneezy takes a little time to warm up to new people, but once he chooses you, it is truly an honor. He would thrive with adopters who have a calm home and the patience to give him the time and space he needs to feel comfortable and build confidence.

Sneezy loves being outdoors and enjoys the company of other dogs, so a fenced-in yard and a confident, friendly resident dog would be wonderful bonuses for him. Having a canine companion may help him feel more secure as he continues to come out of his shell.

Potty training is still a work in progress, in part because of Sneezy’s shy nature. The good news? He is extremely food motivated, so with patience, consistency, and plenty of tasty rewards, we expect him to catch on quickly.

Sneezy is a special little guy who just needs someone willing to let him blossom at his own pace. Once he trusts you, you’ll discover what a sweet and rewarding companion he can be.

Important Information

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. We care for our dogs in foster homes throughout the South and New England.

Your adoption donation helps cover veterinary care, transportation, and other expenses for your adopted dog. It also helps us continue to save senior dogs and dogs with serious medical needs or injuries. While their adoption donations are often reduced, their veterinary costs are typically much higher.

When you adopt a young, healthy dog or puppy, you're also helping us give another dog a second chance. Thank you for supporting our mission and making rescue possible.
