Meet Pemi — a stunning 4-year-old shepherd mix with those giant ears and a whole lot of heart. 🐾💛

Pemi was originally a Paws New England puppy and was recently returned through no fault of her own. She deeply loves her family, but due to food-related resource guarding, she needs a home without children. A difficult incident occurred when a toddler crawled toward her food, and her family made the heartbreaking but responsible decision to put her safety needs first.

Pemi is currently in a week-long training and evaluation program and is absolutely shining. She’s smart, eager to learn, and very responsive to guidance. She knows her basic commands, listens well, and truly wants to do the right thing.

While her early exposure to other dogs was limited, she’s gaining confidence. Pemi prefers her space and isn’t a “dog-in-my-face” kind of girl, so she should be the only dog at home. That said, she’s a fantastic hiker, can be off-leash, and is able to pass people and dogs calmly. Her trainer is addressing some leash reactivity, and she’s proving to be an excellent student.

✔️ Crate trained
✔️ Perfectly house trained
✔️ Loyal, intelligent, and devoted

Pemi deserves a second chance—and we are committed to helping her find the right fit. If you’re an adult household looking for a breathtakingly beautiful, deeply loyal companion to share hikes, adventures, and quiet evenings, Pemi may be the one you’ve been waiting for. 💫

Please consider opening your heart and home to this very special girl.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & 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 needed.

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.
